The merry month of May brings earthy Taurus to the center of the stars, stimulating our creativity. This sign is guided by Venus, and defines our mother the earth and romance and mirth. Taurean celebrations abound – Earth Day, May Day, maypoles, Beltane and Mother’s Day.

As though they were scarlet tanagers arriving at bird feeders, planets symbolizing spiritual love in its highest aspiration are grouping together. Like the voice of a friend, they are dispelling current angst as we activate our fondest dreams.

Aries - The dream maker for you is Taurus, the practical sign that follows you. After your vibrant reign, the sign of the grounded bull allows you to put your birthday plans into action. You will find that personal ingenuity and unexpected surprises appear as you leap forward into Spring.

Taurus - Welcome to Taurus time! Snowy maypole ceremonies are in the forecast for you with the reluctant Spring we are having in the mountains. You are the sign that announces the future in all of its fullness. Expect the unexpected in the year ahead, with clever ideas arising for you.
