Venus Enters Taurus: Here's Your Horoscope For the Week of April 12

The planet of love and beauty is transiting through the grounded and indulgent sign of Taurus, which means that this is a wonderful time to seek pleasure in every form. Whether it’s giving yourself a luxurious bath or splurging on things you’ve had on your shopping cart for some time now, indulge in the finest things in life within your capacity—because you deserve a break!

Here’s what this transit means for each sign:

Aries (March 21 to April 19)

Because of how you struggled with the burdens of your responsibilities in the past, you are now hesitant to make long-term commitments, afraid of experiencing that hardship and burnout again. However, this fear is preventing you from moving forward. Think about all that you’ve achieved and be proud of how far you’ve come. Persevere through the challenges like you always have!

Taurus (April 20 – May 20)

Your tendency to scrutinize every detail in your plans is preventing you from truly enjoying your work. Stop trying to be perfect in everything—you’ll only grow resentful and frustrated. Remind yourself why you want to do this in the first place and stop trying to attain unrealistic expectations. Everything takes time. So be patient and be open to making mistakes!

Gemini (May 21 – June 21)

Lately, you’ve been facing so many obstacles that are getting in the way of your plans and it seems that nothing has been going according to how you’ve imagined them to. You’re now in a state of loss over what to do, unable to adjust to the challenges. But ask yourself this: what little steps can you do today that will take you much closer to your goals? Failure and hardship are all part of the journey so focus instead on how you can rise above them. Recharge your energies too by appreciating the love all around you—from family, friends, and loved ones. Celebrate your wins, no matter how small!

Cancer (June 22 – July 22)

Take some time out of your busy schedule to rest and recharge! The constant hustle may be making it difficult for you to manage your day-to-day activities and you need to evaluate your priorities. You’ve got a clear vision in your head of what you want to do—you just need to expand your knowledge, collect resources, and stay grounded in order to set your plans into action.

Leo (July 23 – August 22)

Doubts are clouding your head as you feel like all that you’ve been working hard for isn’t translating well to give you the results you want. Consequently, you feel like you’re failing to meet expectations. But you need to keep striving towards your goals! Believe in your capabilities and the rest will follow.

Virgo (August 23 – September 22)

Your vision may not be going according to plan and you’re left feeling upset and frustrated over everything that’s been standing in your way to your end goal. But instead of allowing yourself to feel beaten down like this, you must pick yourself up, learn, and grow from your mistakes. Shake off the doubts and disappointment; you’ll get nowhere if you stay where you are feeling sorry for yourself. With laser focus and determination, fight until you get to where you want to be!

Libra (September 23 – October 21)

You may think that doing so many things at once is a sign of productivity, but it’s actually making you more stressed than you should be. Know what’s worth investing your time and efforts on instead of trying to spread yourself too thin. Only then will you be able to replenish your lost energies and feel fulfilled.

Scorpio (October 23 – November 21)

You may be feeling lost right now and instead of being inspired by the work you have on your plate, you are starting to get overwhelmed by them. Things haven’t been going according to plan and you can’t help but endure such a huge blow on your self-esteem—but you cannot grow without experiencing failures in your life. So persevere through this darkness! The only way to go from here is up.

Sagittarius (November 22 – December 21)

You may be feeling frustrated because of how you aren’t being seen or acknowledged for your talents. Don’t let this discourage you! It doesn’t matter what anyone else thinks; you need to express yourself freely and creatively. You have so much potential—don’t let it go to waste! Invest in yourself because YOU are what matters most to you.

Capricorn (December 22 – January 19)

So much stress and anxiety persist all around you and you’re struggling to rise above them. The best course of action right now is to prioritize activities that you enjoy doing so that you can attract positive energies into your life! Remember that it’s within your power to choose how to respond to situations in your life. So seize the opportunity to spark hope within you instead of waiting for it to happen.

Aquarius (January 20 – February 18)

Have you been trying to resist change in order to stay in control of your situation? Your fear of uncertainty will only hinder you from growth and learning. You have to be brave and let go. Otherwise, you will never reach your full potential. Think about the long-term! Make a plan of action to make sure everything goes right to ease your worries.

Pisces (February 19 – March 20)

Stop sacrificing your time, energy, and happiness just to please other people! Nothing good ever comes out of forcing yourself to do things you aren’t passionate about in the first place, especially when you find out that it isn’t producing the expected results. Speak your truth! Take time to discover what you want to do and work hard towards that instead.
