Change is inevitable right now. Your plans may be upended by some conflict at home or some needed repair. Avoid risky investments. Take time to weigh all decisions carefully. Introspection is the order of the day. The usual focal points of your life leave you cold. New values and concerns are imminent, perhaps gained through travel, a mentor or a distant relative. Overcome world-weariness as you have responsibilities to face. This is a favorable day for scheduling dates and for love in general. You are somewhat vulnerable, and may get slipped in critical moments. This can indicate happy social events, and is fortunate for beauty treatments, pleasurable outings, music, the arts, and holidays or gatherings. It's good for money as well, but you might spend it as quickly as you earn it!

Listen to your heart—and your body—Taurus, which might just be telling you to take a rest. Energizer bunny Mars downshifts into Aries and your restful twelfth house, and suddenly all those late-night invitations don’t sound so tempting. From now until May 18, you need to take care of numero uno! Make choices based on what you want, not what you feel obligated to do. This is a good time to focus on art, spiritual practice or dreamwork. Allow deep-seated emotional issues to rise to the surface—that’s the only way you’ll be able to deal with them. The temptation will be there to numb yourself out with food, drink or other escapist outlets, but those are dead ends. Face your issues courageously now, and you could heal them for once and for all.
