Wallace Stegner, great historian, environmentalist and Pulitzer Prize-winning author, wrote: "The wound kills that does not bleed." Dear Taurus, you could take a tip or two from this.

You are being so strong and calm and collected that no one has any idea what's going on under there!

You have to let it out - to let it "bleed" - at some point, right?

So - RELAX, dear one. Don't worry about the future. It is all going to be okay.

With so much going on in your twelfth house, there is a torrent going on below the surface. This includes a torrent of creativity as well. Ideas spring from the sky and you must write down everything that comes to you! Fortune will result.

In your creative twelfth house you have: your ruler, loving Venus; brilliant Mercury, now direct!; lotto lucky Jupiter; sexy Mars; and revolutionary Uranus. 

On Tuesday, May 3, there is a new Moon in your sign of Taurus. Taurus  is "the farmers' Moon" - real farmers use it as a timer - and it is a particularly fertile and potent Moon for planting new seeds.

So a new Moon in your sign of Taurus on Tuesday, May 3 will start May off with a new you. You have a chance to correct some misunderstandings you may have suffered with others.

Speaking of others...Mars is bellowing while Uranus is knocking things over in your twelfth house. This means, however calm you try to keep it, someone around you - even someone at a distance - is going to be making you crazy.

Take some deep breaths.

There's a fair amount of unrest being stirred up in all your relations now, but please try to remember that relationships are where it's all at in terms of your greatest success too!

This May it all smooths out, and harmony reigns.

What has been will now be in the past, and you are being directed to the new, and a new beginning.

This, in itself, can be difficult and painful for the bull.

Change, even when it is the best thing in the world, is traumatic and stressful by its very nature.

But you are one of the most the most enduring and determine persons there are, so I know you can deal with this. And deal with it well.

You must make an effort to be clear and clean in all your communications (particularly with siblings or sibling-like people and those in your neighborhood.)

With beneficial Mercury and Venus in your twelfth house of psychological healing as May begins, this would be an ideal time to TAWK about it.

It will also be the most practical and pragmatic thing to do, as it will clear up that wound (as Wallace Stegner writes about, above) and do it the most quickly.

Then, as May gets underway your life shifts dramatically as the planets start moving into your sign of Taurus! Making you sexy, beautiful, and a voice to be listened to over the next several weeks.

Not the time to stay at home and be a hermit. (You can do that now, but not once May really gets underway.)

Here is the exact timing.

Use this, Taurus, to your advantage: set up important meetings and dates during this time and you will be knocked out by the results.

Sexy Mars moves in on Wednesday, May 11, making you sizzling sexy for five glorious weeks. This lasts, on this extraordinary level, until June 20.

Beauty and love planet (and your ruler) Venus moves in on Sunday, May 15, making you gorgeous and attracting everyone under the sun. This lasts, on this extraordinary level, until June 9.

And brilliant messenger planet Mercury moves in on the same day as Venus, May 15, making everyone listen to you and take heed! This lasts, on this extraordinary level, until June 16.  

As I said, use this timing to your advantage: allow the stars to help you in your quest!

Whether it's a business meeting or a hot date or an audition or a newsletter: set it up, put it out there for these times.

And you will be lucky in love too - how could you not be?

See how to increase this luck with your Jupiter sign. Expect major recognition of this beginning Sunday, May 15.   

So as of mid-May you start enjoying the month more - and man, am I glad to see that!

It gets even better, dear Taurus...

Towards the end of the month the veils of fog and mystery will be lifted from your work and your purpose and life path will be made abundantly clear.

Work and relationships clear up, your home is more serious than ever, and money? You won't have to worry about it, for once!

So hang in there, and relax, and make hay while the sun shines once mid-May comes. And have a wonderful birthday. Happy Birthday, dear Taurus!!
