Welcome to Taurus Season! Here's Your Horoscope For the Week of April 19

After a hectic Aries month, the sign of Taurus tells us that it’s time to slow down our pace and just chill.

By now, we’ve become accustomed to life indoors and have adjusted our separate work and home habits accordingly, understanding that “hustle culture” isn’t something we should pressure ourselves into for the sake of our mental health.

Through the energies of Taurus, we will be more encouraged to lie back and take pleasure in the things that make us happy, whether it’s binge-watching a feel-good show or discovering a new hobby. Taurus also calls us to appreciate the little things — the ones we take for granted — and our relationships with people who we miss the most.

Most importantly, Taurus shows us the importance of feeling good at home amid the need to self-isolate. After all, there’s no wondering when we’ll be able to finally get out of our houses. So turn your home into the safe haven that it should be!

Here’s how the energies of Taurus will affect you this week:

Aries (March 21 to April 19)

You have become conscious of your fears and insecurities and how these are affecting your actions. Time must be spent now resolving those inner issues and letting your gut instincts guide you to the answers you seek. Remember that your weaknesses can also be your strength. Invest in what makes you happy so that you can fully blossom into the person you desire to be.

Taurus (April 20 – May 20)

Forces outside of your control are threatening to take hold of your life right now, putting you in situations where you’re completely down on your luck. No matter how discouraging this may be, don’t let it question your self-worth! Push through these challenges by reminding yourself of your “why”—and let that passion burn within you. Life is full of ups and downs; ride the waves so you can learn and grow!

Gemini (May 21 – June 21)

Your mind is plagued with doubt because of how you’re constantly thinking about all the worst-case scenarios and past mistakes. You need to free yourself of your insecurities and stop yourself from listening to the judgments of other people—after all, only your opinions matter. So be still with your thoughts and plan where you want to go from here.

Cancer (June 22 – July 22)

Dramatic events all around you have made you reevaluate all areas of your life. You’ve learned to let go of what no longer serves you, old beliefs that have harmed you, and insecurities you may have brought about by the judgments of people. Now that you’ve gotten a change of perspective on things, light that fire of passion within you and go for your goals! Don’t stop ’til you get where you need to go.

Leo (July 23 – August 22)

There exists a possible disconnect between where you are and the goals you’ve set for yourself. Perhaps your heart isn’t in the right place, or you’re terrified of pursuing your dreams. Either way, you are holding yourself back! Tons of opportunities abound around you and you must plant the seeds for further growth. Invest in yourself and your passions!

Virgo (August 23 – September 22)

Things may not be going your way lately and it’s making you feel frustrated, demotivated, and disappointed with yourself. You’ve lost your sense of identity and your drive. It’s important that you remember where your passions lie and remind yourself of your dreams for the future! Things may seem terrible right now but you can’t afford to lose sight of your goals. Use them to get you back on track!

Libra (September 23 – October 22)

You may be experiencing some instability in your life and you need to determine the cause of this uncertainty. If you don’t, everything you’ve worked hard for or spent so much time and energy on will just topple down eventually. Be careful of how you communicate with others, too. When you find it difficult to make sense of your situation, don’t forget that you can always ask for help from people you trust.

Scorpio (October 23 – November 21)

You may be feeling bored and restless because of your daily routines, especially because you’re just stuck at home. But really, your life is what you make it! You have the power to attract excitement into your life by pursuing a new hobby, revisiting games or a TV series you once loved, and so much more. Invest in your happiness!

Sagittarius (November 22 – December 21)

You’ve managed to persevere through challenging times and you are now approaching the end of your struggle. Be proud of yourself! You’ve come out stronger and more prepared to deal with the next obstacle that may come your way. Don’t forget to look back on what you’ve learned and how you grew in the process. Remember that all problems can be solved through a clear and objective mind.

Capricorn (December 22 – January 19)

Attempting to do everything at once is actually holding you back from making any sort of progress in your goals. Because your focus is dispersed among many things, you’re actually making space for more mistakes. Stop trying to pressure yourself with this “hustle” mindset and just do what lights a fire in your heart—more importantly, what’s much more worth investing your time and energy on. Don’t overthink it! Just be honest with yourself and live authentically.

Aquarius (January 20 – February 18)

You are well on your way towards your big goals thanks to your tenacity and drive to succeed! Don’t always rely on your gut instincts, though! It’ll help to be prepared for the good and bad that may come your way. Allow your experiences to help you grow and seize all the opportunities to expand your knowledge and take you to higher places!

Pisces (February 19 – March 20)

You’ve been so frustrated with how slow things are going with your goals that you’re tempted to just wing it to speed things up. However, this reckless behavior might only make things worse. Exercise patience and let things happen in their own time! Don’t compare your progress with other people. Struggles like this are always part of the journey.
