Your Weekly Horoscope for April 17–23, 2022: Taurus Season Begins!

What do you dream of? At the beginning of the week, Mercury in Taurus sextiles Venus in Pisces, implying a whimsical romance. With these two in harmony, the collective mind is peaceful and harmonious. Conversations will highlight the beauty of spring, art, and where romance may even lead. The language of love will seep into everyone’s conversations! But lean into the sensible Taurus energy so that fantastical Pisces does not become overly idealistic. 

A radical breakthrough could come unexpectedly, as Mercury will conjunct Uranus in Taurus. As these two come into alignment, the collective mind reverberates with authenticity. Unconventional ideas, strongly convicted opinions, inspired understanding, and sensible honesty will be apparent. Just as Mercury leaves its brainstorming session with Uranus, Venus in Pisces will step into a sextile Uranus in Taurus. The sextile forges an electric bond between the exalted minor benefic and modern, valuable rebellion, encouraging steady yet a sure-fire change of pace in commitments, relationships, finances, and aesthetics. This aspect is utterly beautiful as it is the epitome of feeling free in love and luxury!

Shortly after, the sun squares Pluto in Capricorn, causing tension between the exalted ego and CEO of the underworld. The concept of power and control becomes illuminated, shining a stark truth on who wears the pants in any situation. As these two planets initially clash, all that is hidden becomes unearthed. Although somewhat overwhelming, it can be transformative as we cannot turn a blind eye to what simmers beneath the surface. 

At the end of the week, Mercury conjuncts the north node in Taurus, which is the mind with fate and destiny. What we think and speak of is what we give life to. Utilize this beautiful conjunction to dream of stability, speak of security, and see the value of looking towards the future. 

The Sun enters Taurus

Spring has sprung! The sun leaves Aries for the relaxed Taurus, switching its call from Mars to Venus. Earthy and sensual, Taurus season stops and smells the roses. Indulging in simple luxuries, like savoring excellent home-cooked food or napping on 500-count bed sheets, will be a wonderful way to spend Taurus season. As the sun steadily moves through Taurus, the collective may feel more grounded. The pace is relaxed yet forthright, determined to see something through but at one’s leisure. Plodding and reliable, Taurus season is highly committed to patiently persevering. Although this season is the time when retrogrades and eclipses will begin to ramp up, the sun in Taurus reminds us to dig our heels in as we weather any storm. 

Quarterly Check-in with Luna

As the last quarter moon glows in fixed Aquarius, the energy instills a crisis-like momentum. Quarter moons can make the collective feel like something has to be done! But this last quarter moon encourages the collective to let go of certain Aquarian ideologies, such as feeling left out from the greater community or rejecting one’s eccentricities to conform. Whatever it may be, utilize the last quarter moon to let go of the shadow aspects of Aquarius. Embrace your inner weirdo. Hold a greater understanding of the communities, friendships, and groups that surround you. Seek balance within your relationships by spending time with close confidants. Step into an open mind so that you can step out of your comfort zone with confidence!
