TAURUS (APRIL 20 – MAY 20)

Much of the universe is telling you to slow your roll, Taurus, and you could be feeling the need to rest and recharge your batteries more than usual. This isn’t a bad thing, though. You have many cosmic influences all focusing upon your sector of solitude, closure, and healing—so it’s time to not force anything and go with the flow. If you’d like to journal, daydream, or embrace your intuition, this is a great time. Last, if you’d like to consult with a specialist of any kind, even if it’s as simple as a dentist, use this energy.

LEO (JULY 23 – AUGUST 22)

The universe has so much excitement ahead of you, Leo—especially once we get to the summer. For now, the new moon is telling you to think big and consider ways that you can step outside of your comfort zone and embrace new horizons.
