It’s Officially Taurus Season! Here’s Your Horoscope for the Week of April 20

Can you believe it’s Taurus season already? 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 20 to April 19)

You may be worried about being out of control, especially when it comes to the things you rely on for security and stability—such as your job or your relationships. Nothing good will come out of worrying constantly about them though. Stay grounded! Don’t scare yourself with the thought that you will lose everything you value at this time. Trust that the hardship will come to an end eventually, but understand that you need to do your part in making that positive change too. Now is also a good time to reflect on your relationships, work situation, and personal habits. Get rid of those that only give you negative energies. That’s the last thing you need right now, after all.

Taurus (April 19 – May 20)

Be mindful of your mental health during this time because news about current events may make you lose your cool (if it hasn’t already). However, you can always choose to disengage, to put your phone down, and free your mind of whatever’s worrying you. There’s nothing wrong with that. You are just one person and you don’t have to keep carrying the burden of the world on your shoulders. Let yourself rest and be free of the pressure to “hustle.”

Gemini (May 20 – June 21)

It’s been over a month since quarantine began and there’s no end in plain sight as of now. This period of difficulty may be greatly affecting your emotional and mental state, so don’t be afraid to tune out, rest, and recharge. However, if you haven’t yet, you need to start adjusting your habits and lifestyle instead of clinging onto “what used to be.” Accept that this may be the new norm while a solution has yet to be discovered and use what you learn from this difficult experience to successfully adapt.

Cancer (June 21 – July 22)

You may be finding yourself unwilling to accept that current circumstances may be the new normal in the months to come, especially since there’s just so much to worry about if this continues. However, you can’t resist this. You can’t wish this away. There’s no knowing what the future will hold for us all, so you must adapt to the changes. Don’t forget to care for your mental and emotional well-being, and that you can always rely on your friends to give you the support and comfort you need.

Leo (July 22 – August 23)

You are now coming to realize that this current struggle is much bigger than yourself and there’s no use for you to keep wallowing in self-pity. After being so detached from the world, you’re ready to start focusing your energy in helping others move forward in a positive direction. Leave all your regrets and remorse behind. Stop yearning for what used to be or what should have been. Focus on what you can do right now to help alleviate the struggles of those in need.

Virgo (August 23 – September 22)

Questions about why current issues and hardship persist are filling your head, and you wish it could all just go away. But as it stands, there’s nothing we personally can do to fix this. That doesn’t mean, however, that you should just ignore all the problems and detach yourself from the world. You need to face them head-on and do what you can to help alleviate the people’s struggles in small and simple ways. Focus your energy in helping others and being kind, because kindness and compassion are what we all need most right now.

Libra (September 22 – October 23)

Amid the troubling times, you must find inner peace. Yes, it may be difficult to do so but you have to give yourself a break from all this negative thinking. Rest and recharge. Stay away from social media. Focus your energy on doing something you love or that makes you happy. In doing so, you will be giving yourself the strength and calm to face your challenges once more.

Scorpio (October 23 – November 22)

Now is a great time to start something new, to discover something you’re passionate about, and create new plans to enrich your life in the coming weeks. This optimism and drive you may be feeling shouldn’t be taken for granted, especially when you’ve spent so much time worrying about what’s currently happening around you. It’s good to refocus your energy and attention on something more positive every once in a while.

Sagittarius (November 21 – December 21)

You must continue speaking out for what’s right and for what’s true. When others are driven to silence, use your voice to fight injustice and demand solutions. Don’t forget, however, to listen to your own inner voice and rest when you need to. You don’t have to feel compelled to engage in online discourse amid what’s happening around you every single day. Take a break every once in a while for your mental health!

Capricorn (December 21 – January 19)

Being stuck at home is no excuse to procrastinate on your responsibilities and your goals. Be mindful of your work ethic and adapt to your current situation (if you haven’t yet). Remember, there’s no knowing how long this will keep going, so you need to do your part in making this easy for you and everyone around you.

Aquarius (January 19 – February 18)

It’s inevitable that fear and doubt overwhelm you amid the current situation, but you shouldn’t let yourself linger on in that negative headspace! Nothing good will come out of obsessing unhealthily over things beyond your control. Relax, recharge, and take some time off to focus instead on something else—perhaps a book, or a movie, or a game. Don’t feel guilty about doing so; we all need a mental health break every once in a while.

Pisces (February 18 – March 20)

Amid challenging times that are difficult for you to cope with and adjust to, it’s unavoidable that you’ll feel incredibly powerless and unmotivated. Understand that it’s okay to feel this way—we are all feeling this way, after all. But though we may not have control over this situation, there are small things we can do to help, such as donating what we can to those in need, exercising responsible journalism, and even just by staying at home. Don’t underestimate your capability to make a difference because you already are doing it.
