Double Conjunctions in Taurus

The meeting in Taurus is full of intent today, mostly because money is involved. First, it’s the moon and Jupiter. Then, it’s a lunar conjunction to Mercury. The takeaway is a suggestion: Even if the transaction has a price tag, it’s always about something else -- like respect, status or expectation. Ask yourself: What’s this really about?

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Your reward for doing a stellar job? Now you’re expected to do it faster, cheaper and in greater quantities. This hardly seems fair or logical, but you’ll be rewarded when you go forward anyway.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). When you get tired, should you push through or ease up? The latter idea is what you most need; it will be productive to let the pressure off and rest a while. New insights will come to you when you’re refreshed.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). The new you is waiting in the future, thinking, “Where are you? When will you get here?” A friend or coach will provide the right push to speed along your transformation. It’s not always going to be comfortable, but it will be worth it.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Everyone doesn’t have to get with your program for you to feel good about what you’re doing. You readily accept that you’re not in control of everything and you enjoy seeing the various approaches people take when they feel free to explore.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Your life is not a solo act. Even when you are doing things alone, you’re never really alone. You are always collaborating with the universe. In today’s collaboration, do less and let the universe lead.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You’re easy to open up to. You sometimes learn more about people than you wanted to know. Don’t be deterred by the complexities of the human experience. Some of the best things in life are messy and, nonetheless, worth figuring out.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). It’s a struggle to be cheerful when there’s so much about a situation that needs work. But you’ll search for, and find, the silver lining. Optimism will give you the energy to finish a job.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Take inventory. Know what you have and what you need. The accounting will prevent you from missing opportunities, buying too much, or making other mistakes related to a lack of awareness.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22Dec. 21). With your relentless worth ethic, you’re destined for greatness. And when complacency creeps in, you’ll soar even higher as you think of ways to get the job done smarter, faster and with less effort.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22Jan. 19). Unanticipated obstacles fall in the path. It’s beyond your control, but you can control your commitment to managing what comes no matter what. You’ll overcome huddles with a simple command from you to you: jump!

AQUARIUS

(Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Success may be the ultimate revenge, and you’ll certainly get there, but in the meantime, you’d like justice. What would that look like? There are many forms it could take, some of which would be healing for all.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Today you live like this is your party. You pick the menus and music. The invite list is yours too. You’ll make the fun, feel-good choices. You’ll be delighted by who shows up to celebrate.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (May 17). Your creative spirit spills over into everything you do: projects, relationships, career and home. You keep seeing how things could be more functional, fun, beautiful and efficient. As you share and apply your insight, life gets interesting. More highlights: a plot twist that puts money in your pocket; a reunion that turns future-perfect. Scorpio and Sagittarius adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 10, 4, 12, 21 and 1.
