While some challenges have to do with finding that joy, in general, being able to roll with ups and downs is the most important component for you. In some cases, this will mean going along with what others think. Initially, you might question it, but soon you will discover just how clever they were.
I am drawn to elegance, yet am increasingly aware of the beauty of wisdom
As a May 6th Taurus, you will find that every once in a while you face a puzzle, one that’s more or less unique to you. It’s not unusual, because as a practical earth sign—and also what is termed one of the fixed signs of the zodiac, that is, the signs born in the middle of each season—once you understand a situation or figure out a plan, you stick with it. Yet you frequently seem to encounter individuals who have an entirely different approach to certain situations.
If you make suggestions but are ignored, this can be puzzling, if not a very real challenge. The trick is to realize that your understanding of how things work is yours and yours alone. The perspective of others about the same thing can be very different. Acknowledge that, and the resulting exchange of ideas can bring amazing insights.
This is actually about broadening your horizons. Why? Because another point that’s key to your birth date is the importance of being flexible, to rethink plans and alter goals as you go along. While you may make arrangements based on the past—which makes sense because they’ve already worked—if you use that approach now, with things having changed, you could miss a whole new world of discovery, excitement, and experiences just waiting for you to become part of it.
You have decided to embrace a new, flexible approach to life. Great. What about others? Forget about discussion and just live it, day by day, and see what happens. Your concerns may be about old habits you are changing anyway. You may even welcome ideas you’ve dismissed as unrealistic or unwise. Better yet, you create a new way of being together, one that is all about discovery.
This tension can undermine your health. You may be doing what you need to do—you may be eating right, you may be out and about—but if you are uptight, this can overshadow the simple health and well-being you’ve created. Finding this balance and ensuring it includes joy is one of your biggest challenges.
While some challenges have to do with finding that joy, in general, being able to roll with ups and downs is the most important component for you. In some cases, this will mean going along with what others think. Initially, you might question it, but soon you will discover just how clever they were.
As much as you enjoy talking over intriguing ideas, ensure that others understand you are doing no more than exploring possibilities. Certain individuals will mistake your enthusiasm for serious interest in getting involved. Explain that clearly and you’ll avoid misunderstandings, if not hurt feelings, later.
Taurus: APRIL 19 – MAY 19
Ruler: Venus
Symbol: The Bull
Element: Earth
Flower: Orchid
Sensuality and practicality are fundamental to you as a Taurus, the first of the earth signs. While its ruling planet, Venus, accents life’s pleasures, it’s also about assets, which means you are a gracious individual who lives both well and wisely. That’s reflected in your flower, the orchid, and your aromatic spices—cloves and sorrel. Your tree is crab apple, while your stones reflect Venus’s pastel shades in both jade and emerald.
