Taurus Season Is Coming! Here’s Your Horoscope for the Week of April 18

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.

Above all, Taurus shows us the importance of finding comfort in our homes as the world rapidly opens up, propelling us back into our old routines of reporting to the office, meeting up with friends, and travelling within and out of the country. Though this may excite you, don’t push yourself too far! There’s no shame in just staying a homebody for a little while longer.

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

Aries (March 21 to April 19)

You must remember that you shouldn’t do things for other people, thinking that you’ll get something in return. This will just put unnecessary pressure on you and, worse, leave you disappointed when you end up getting nothing. Preserve your energy and focus on doing what you love instead! Stay patient and let nature take its course.

Taurus (April 20 – May 20)

You have become aware of your tendency to clutch tightly onto your wealth, afraid that if you don’t, it’ll all go away in an instant. You think that having more will make you feel secure, but money isn’t always the answer to your problems. Realize that it’s by nurturing your relationships that you’ll be freed from your anxieties about the future.

Gemini (May 21 – June 21)

You may feel as though your worst fears are coming true without realizing that it’s because you worry about them nonstop! Fear and doubt hold you back from moving forward, and beating yourself up about it only makes things worse. You need to detach yourself from your emotions and use your logic to find clarity in your situation. Acknowledge all the good that’s happening to you too, no matter how small the wins are.

Cancer (June 22 – July 22)

Current conflict is causing unnecessary stress and anxiety for you—now is the time to leave all that drama behind! It’s okay to be “selfish” and put yourself first in order to protect your energy. There’s no need to prove yourself to others; the only approval you need is your own! So stay committed to living your best life and stay open to the opportunities that abound.

Leo (July 23 – August 22)

When you are faced with many options, you need to remember that not everything will benefit you in the long run. Some opportunities may only provide you with temporary bliss instead of long term fulfillment. You need to be clear with what you want and reevaluate your plans to create stability for yourself so that you can make better choices that will uplift your life.

Virgo (August 23 – September 22)

Your vision has not been going according to plan and it’s causing you heartbreak and frustration. Don’t let yourself wallow too much in this grief—treat your wounds and find a way to push through this darkness. Remember: you are strong enough to survive this. Just be kind to yourself.

Libra (September 23 – October 21)

You’ve been putting a lot of effort and energy into something that won’t actually give you anything in return. But this feeling of being stuck and unfulfilled will make you more aware of what you do want—so reevaluate your life and find clarity so you can start living out your truth. Take care of your relationships at this time too! Life is about the connections you make, not just the work you do.

Scorpio (October 23 – November 21)

You have learned how to free yourself of anxiety and stress by steering clear of problematic situations. You’ve realized that patience and moderation are keys to moving forward, too. You know what your heart wants, so don’t stop ’til you get it! Through commitment and perseverance, you will eventually reap the hard-earned fruits of your labor.

Sagittarius (November 22 – December 21)

So many changes are happening in your life at the moment and you find yourself working doubly hard to ensure your security and success. Be careful about burning yourself out, though! It might be scary to take the load off amid uncertain times but breaks are still needed! Trust that things will get better soon.

Capricorn (December 22 – January 19)

You are currently faced with a lot of options and you’re finding it difficult to choose which path to take because of your fear of possibly missing out. You need to weigh out the pros and cons to determine which path will help you grow. It’s all about hustle, patience, and grit right now! Trust that you will get to where you need to be in time.

Aquarius (January 20 – February 18)

Remember that when times get though, running away from your problems will only make things worse. Trust in your inner strength that you will rise above these troubled waters! Seek comfort in doing things you love and that make you happy to remind you that you are capable!

Pisces (February 19 – March 20)

You’ve been so laser-focused on your goals and everything seems to be falling into place, thanks to your determination, passion, and hard work. It’s time to indulge in the fruits of your labor! Enjoy the abundance of your blessings, acknowledge your wins, and just relax. The end result will be much more satisfying when you relish the journey that takes you there.
