Sometimes a goal seems uncomplicated. Often, it is. Learning a sport such as tennis, or appreciating jazz, perhaps. But as important are shifting goals, some long-standing. Each day, say something new and try something new and agree to something unexpected, and you’ll soon realize how rewarding this is.
I recognize that disappointments are often thrilling surprises in disguise
As a Taurus and an earth sign, you’re a collector. You may actually collect objects, but also you will collect experiences. In the same way, you collect friendships with people. And some of them—those objects, and even those people—stay in your life for a long time, and this familiarity gives you a kind of comfort.
At the same time, every once in a while you need to allow changes to roll in your life. And it would appear that finding a balance between these two, between creating a collection of people and activities that are rewarding and ensuring these changes take place, is a skill that is important for you to develop as you live through the days and months and years of your life.
This is especially significant, because otherwise, you could easily settle into something that is appealing, but when changes arise, as is inevitable in life, that could lead to complications. You’ll either worry that something’s wrong and try to go back to the way things were. Or you’ll realize that, every now and then, life is not about merely dealing with changes, but embracing them—and as a result, thinking and living in a new way. Once you have developed this skill, you will be able to enjoy these changes, enjoy the changes in the lives of those around you, and enjoy the changes in your world all the more.
Being close to others—from family and friends to certain special individuals—is important. So when they act unpredictably, you worry or may be upset. The key? Discuss this, and everything else, often. They may question this. Fine. Slowly, they, too, will realize how much they’re benefiting from these changes. They might even begin to enjoy them.
For you, habits are natural. And they’re reassuring. Once something works for you, you will stick with it. However, it may be that 20 years have passed, or your life has changed, yet you’re still doing the same thing, the same way. Make a point of discovering things, and regularly. You will be glad you did.

It doesn’t matter whether the issues in question are personal or involve others. They are unsettling, and therefore not easy to discuss. Despite that, the time has come to raise them. It won’t be easy. Still, once you do, you’ll notice how grateful others are that you had the courage to bring these up.
Taurus: APRIL 19 – MAY 19
Ruler: Venus
Symbol: The Bull
Element: Earth
Flower: Orchid
Sensuality and practicality are fundamental to you as a Taurus, the first of the earth signs. While its ruling planet, Venus, accents life’s pleasures, it’s also about assets, which means you are a gracious individual who lives both well and wisely. That’s reflected in your flower, the orchid, and your aromatic spices—cloves and sorrel. Your tree is crab apple, while your stones reflect Venus’s pastel shades in both jade and emerald.
