TAURUS

April 20-May 20

Spontaneity should never be undervalued, Taurus. Lay foundations that are tried and true, but don’t forget to inject play, adventure, and passion into them. Security is important — but if you’re not enjoying your life, you will never feel secure enough. Cultivate joyfulness as well. (SFBG)

After meditating on your astrological omens for the rest of 2011, I’ve picked out the guiding words that best suit your needs. They’re from mythologist Joseph Campbell: “If you can see your path laid out in front of you step by step, you know it’s not your path. Your own path you make with every step you take. That’s why it’s your path.” Now here’s a corollary from Spanish poet Antonio Machado: “Wanderer, your footsteps are the road, nothing more; there is no road — you make the road by walking. Turning to look behind, you see the path you will never travel again.” (Free Will Astrology)

Conversations with significant others, personal and professional, could reveal important information. Listen closely to what’s being said, and then read between the lines for what isn’t included. (Aquarium Age)
