 You're not the goodie-goodie you like people to think you are; this, despite how  you flaunt your wild side. Though you would probably never own up to that  contradiction, it's time to worry less about your image and more about how being  authentic draws authentic people toward you. I suggest you admit to your chaos,  your passion, your craving for freedom. I suggest you admit to the true fact  that your attractions follow no special logic, no rules, and in the end, know no  bounds. You could spend a lot of time worrying about why you have tried to  pretend otherwise; you could wonder why you're caught in the structure that  you're in. Or you can simply be free.

 You have an active imagination; it's so active, you rarely give yourself a  chance to step out. Yes, Taurus is the sign most often associated with  physicality and grounding and all of that, but lately you seem more in your head  than usual. You seem to be searching and dreaming and exploring in there. That's  fine, as long as you take some of what's in your head, and put some of that  pancake batter onto the griddle. True enough, you don't have to. You can keep  stirring it in your mixing bowl. You can keep adding sugar. But as long as you  do that, you're always going to have batter and you're never going to have  hotcakes.

 Don't expect your social experiences to follow a plan, or even your vaguest  notions of what you thought you wanted. I would propose that you will figure out  what you want in a series of experiments, at the end of which you will have  given up on a few old friends and made some brilliant contacts with some new  friends. This is the time to desire new people, places and experiences. In fact,  it's time for them to desire you right back. I would say if you don't want  attention, don't leave the house, but not even that will work. Remember this  attention parlays into your workplace or professional activities. You will be  rewarded for good work, so keep your focus.

 You cannot control the outcome of events, and you don't want to. What you can do  is pay attention to the flow and skate along with the game. And it looks like a  fast game, for sure, where the rules change. Mars finally stationing direct is  likely to improve your attitude about money, as long as you remember to invest  it in what has lasting value, or in what fits a long-term plan. You feel like  you have a lot of mojo, which remains true as long as you apply every molecule  and photon of it consciously. There is a direct relationship between awareness  and power, and at this opportune moment I suggest you add some ambition. Not a  lot, just enough.

 You're about to get a surge of energy -- though I suggest you go for the slow  burn. Keep your flame blue and clean and just the right temperature. In other  words: plan for the long run. Mars is about to station direct in the first  degree of your sign; then over the next 10 weeks it will work its way clear  across Leo, touching the natal Sun of everyone born under your sign. Through the  long Mars retrograde, you've done a fine job reinventing yourself. I suggest you  stretch gently into this new concept of who you are, rather than inflating like  an airbag. You'll be tempted; yet the long-term outlook says that if you pace  yourself, the very best is yet to come.

 You now know the truth about a health situation that has long troubled you,  taxing your peace of mind in a way that you've let on to only a few people in  your life. Though you prefer to be truthful, you were correct in not spreading  your anxiety, mainly because you knew it would come back to you. Now that your  worst fears have been proven unfounded, you can spread something else, which is  your unmitigated vitality. And that will come back to you, just like anything  else you broadcast. In the next six months, this echo effect is only going to  intensify, and you'll need to be clear what is yours and what is not.

 This is not the time to seek stability in your relationships -- it's time for  something better. This theme repeats over and over this spring, any way you  shuffle, slice or dice the planets. You need to trust the stability within  yourself. Most people seek structure on the outside, and give their  relationships a too-difficult job. The difference, in the end, is about  maturity; when your life moves as fast as it's going to move, and becomes as  unpredictable as it's going to become, you need to know where your center is,  and you need to know how to get there fast. Then you will be able to play fast  and loose, something that is unusual for you, but which you've craved for a long  time.

 It may be driving you half-mad that a partner can't home in on their sense of  identity. But then, you've been wavering on a commitment for many weeks, and  this commitment has a lot to do with who you are; or rather, with acknowledging  who you are. There is more to this commitment than meets the eye, because of the  depth of the understanding involved. In a sense, you're making an agreement with  yourself about the role that you deserve in the world; which in turn is a  reflection of how powerful you are willing to believe you are. True, over the  past few months you've given yourself many reasons to doubt, but in truth you've  discovered just as many to have confidence.

 Few astrologers would advise someone born under your sign to take a little extra  risk, fearing what you might do. However, I'm aware the extent to which you have  put the restraints on yourself in recent months, and have retreated far from  your usual swashbuckling self. Here is the key: respond to your feelings and not  your mind. Start from where you feel safe. That is a feeling you can actually  trust. From that space of safety, take a step; then when that works out, take  another step. You may, along the way, feel the impulse to leap in feet first,  and I wouldn't want to stop you; just make sure you're absolutely willing, with  no hint of hesitancy.

 It's time to make some fast, bold professional moves; primarily this is the time  to make sure you're as visible as possible. If you stay where people can see  you, you'll increase the chances of success significantly: success as you define  it. I have an idea what that is: the privilege of expressing the person you  actually are in your professional life. Capricorn is often accused of being  ambitious: I see the matter differently, as a quest for authenticity that brings  you through many incarnations of your career and your role in the world. In  actual fact, you must try again and again till you find the place not where you  fit, but where you are free to exist.

 In astrology there are, occasionally, before and after moments. That is the  easiest way to understand, or to even see, the meaning of how the planets move.  You have now arrived at an 'after' moment: after a very long spell of the need  for clarity, coexisting with yourself in a kind of misunderstanding. You have  resolved something, or perhaps you've just observed something, but it goes so  deep into who you are that it seems to reach across all your lifetimes. In any  event, however you choose to think of it, you have turned one page of your life  and embarked on a whole new volume of existence. The territory changes fast from  here: take careful, conscious steps and always notice where you are, and whom  you're with.

 Know good times when you're in them -- and you are. These are not the kind of  good times that melt into the background of history, forgotten because of their  comfort. Rather, this is a moment that stands out rather than stands back, and  which you may consciously, willingly and lovingly use to enter a new phase of  your life. I trust that you feel a certain energetic relief, the ability to  relax and the growing sense not that you have enough, but that you are enough. Keep that feeling, and remember the idea, if you lose contact with  the inner orientation. It is fair to say that everything is about to change --  in ways you would have wished for, if you could have ever predicted what is possible. |
