Achieving a goal seems clear-cut. It is about building something, acquiring a certain amount of money, or arranging a successful event. However, enjoying the challenge is something else entirely. That involves balancing those goals with your own nature. Instead of tackling challenges because they’re there, first ask yourself how much you care about them to begin with.
Sometimes I seek others’ advice, when I could simply ask them for a hand
As a May 8th Taurus, the big question for you revolves around the pleasure you take in what you do, or in what you acquire. True, you have no choice about many elements of your life. However, you have a range of options in terms of timing, the people involved, or the extent of your commitment. This isn’t about money, investment, or status; it’s about the quality of your experience, so even simple arrangements are appealing, if not just plain wonderful.
That different kind of satisfaction has less to do with settings, situations, or objects and more to do with lifting your spirits, being quiet, or feeling inner peace. Of course, even thinking this way is new for many, and then organizing your life so events include experiences like this may seem unlikely, if not impossible. Yet you’re already recalling certain times this happened, so you know it’s possible
Knowing you can do this is one thing. Doing it is another. But when it comes to your everyday life, it may seem that bringing a similar joy would be asking too much, if not impossible. However, it is the feeling behind it all, the beauty in the mood, and the spirit of those involved, even in nature around you, that add to the enchantment. Take that approach, and you’ll begin to relax and simply enjoy dealing with a bright day or a sunlit evening, or even with simply taking a breath.
You are all about the quality of life. Explaining that to others isn’t easy, mostly because their ideas will differ from yours. What’s more, because you sometimes question your own priorities, discussions with others can be confusing. The solution? If their ideas are unlikely to enrich your thinking, change the subject. Save deep discussions for those who have something to offer.
Health can be achieved by taking care of yourself, by eating well, by exercising. However, well-being comes with inner peace, and that is about your own journey, as an individual, as a May 8th Taurus. Its also about the kind of discoveries that are so important. Recognize those and you will also find joy.

When it comes to certain rather tricky matters, timing is as crucial as your strategy. What appear to be setbacks are actually preventing you taking action now. Frustrating as this is at the moment, you will be more than compensated by what comes your way very soon.
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.
