April 2019 Taurus Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends

April 2019

Overview.

The Sun this Month: Central Focus, Consciousness

All month:

The Sun travels through your twelfth house now, marking a time of retreat and regeneration. Think about the attachments you have--to things, people, and routines--and consider which ones are dragging you down. This is a time when competitive energies and the ego are on a bit of a break.

It's not the time to push ahead with brand new projects. Rather, it's a time of reflection, dreaming, and recharging your batteries. Situations that have naturally outgrown their usefulness in your life can now be put behind you. Endings of natural cycles may be part of the picture at this time of year. Your energy is largely applied to personal and private affairs now. Your disposition is introspective. Rest and reflect, and prepare for a more outgoing cycle when the Sun moves into your first house.

Venus this Month: Love, Romance, Social Life, Comfort

Until April 3rd:

Venus continues to transit your solar tenth house. Relationships with authority figures, superiors, and with the public are in focus during this cycle. It's a strong period for diplomatic relations, although a negative expression of this position could be bending over backwards to please rather than positive, friendly relations. It's a time when being a team player reaps the most rewards, and you may be mixing business with pleasure now. This may be a time when you are especially enjoying your career or position and making the most of it.

From April 4-28:

Venus graces your solar eleventh house now. Forming harmonious, warm social friendships, possibly related to group activities within a club, can figure now. You may meet someone through such group activities; consequently, your interests will be shared. Whether or not you do, the bottom line is that sharing interests with someone is what makes you happy during this cycle. Venus here enlivens your friendships and group associations with charm and grace. You are more peace-loving than usual and slightly detached on a personal level. If a romance were to begin during this time frame, it would be characterized by a strong feeling of camaraderie, but it could also be rather impersonal and perhaps lacking in depth and intimacy.

From April 29th forward:

Venus is spending some time in "hibernation" in your privacy sector. Now, this doesn't necessarily mean that your love life is stagnant, but that your affection is expressed behind closed doors. Attraction to secrets and whispers characterize this period, although for some, it can also be a time of endings, relationship concerns, and wistfulness. Personal and social contacts may be secretive, and there can be secret love affairs, or at least very private love feelings and longings. Shyness can lead to some loneliness or romantic frustration. However, this can also be a deliciously private and intimate time.

Mercury this Month: Communications, Learning, Connections, Transportation

Until April 23rd:

Mercury continues to journey through your solar eleventh house. This is a time when conversations with friends and various networking activities are much appreciated and offer learning experiences. Your ideas just now are especially progressive and unconventional, as you are questioning the rules you typically live by and entertaining some wild ideas.

Not all of these ideas are necessarily going to last or lead to new projects, but it's a time of dreaming up new possibilities and new possible solutions to problems. You are especially interested in spending time with people who are like-minded. Social interactions are more frequent, light, and fun during this cycle.

From April 24th forward:

Your mind is focused on private matters and past issues while Mercury transits the twelfth house of your solar chart. This is a time when you are least likely to speak out of turn or to express yourself freely. You're searching behind the curtain, and examining the past for answers.

This is a good time for research, quiet contemplation, and meditation; but do avoid getting dragged down by issues that have outgrown their worth and purpose. Examining the past in order to improve the future is certainly worthwhile, as long as you don't waste your energy on guilt. Creative endeavors could prosper now, particularly those that draw upon the emotions or that require creative visualization skills, such as poetry, art, acting, and other such activities.

You are likely to require a certain amount of solitude in order to get your thoughts together or to be mentally productive. You are less likely to chat indiscriminately during this transit, and tend to be a little secretive or tight-lipped for the time being. This may be important, in fact, because this position of Mercury is sometimes associated with the uncovering of secrets, so discretion may be in order.

Mars this Month: Energy, Drive, Courage

Until April 14th:

Mars continues to activate your solar first house, supplying you with added energy to apply towards personal goals, and a more assertive and direct approach to the world in general.

This is an excellent period for physical training and exercise of any kind. The desire to be self-sufficient and independent is especially strong now. You are far less tolerant of being restricted by or dependent on others, and this is a good time to identify your personal strengths and take positive action to rectify situations that may have previously felt frustrating or repressive.

You might be especially attracted to personal challenges, and seeing just how far you can push. However, be careful not to push yourself (and others) too far.

From April 15th forward:

Mars energizes your solar second house. You have more energy at your disposal to make money, but also to defend your values. This can be a very resourceful time, when you make the most of what you have. You have much energy for new money-making projects, or for stepping up existing ones.

You may be over-identifying with what you have and own, and you could be trying to prove yourself (your worth) to others using money and possessions as the means to do so. If conflicts occur during this transit, they are likely to be over issues of ownership. This is a time when impulse buying is at a peak. You probably should avoid using credit right now, simply because your spending habits may be excessive and impulsive.

Overview Horoscope:

April 2019 Monthly Horoscope Overview for Taurus: April is about renewing your energy and clearing out the deadwood in your life, dear Taurus, as you ready yourself for new beginnings. You're likely to enjoy yourself along the way--it's not all psychological work, in other words--with Mercury and Venus working their magic on your social life until the 17th to 20th, respectively. The Sun in your sign then picks you up from the 20th forward, so it's not all deep diving into your psyche. Even so, you're in a fabulous position to learn more about yourself and your needs so that when your new beginnings present themselves, your instincts will be serving you well.

With Uranus now in your sign--and the Sun's first meeting with it on the 22nd--you're growing accustomed to a whole new way of "doing" your life. Uranus' long tour of your privacy sector in recent years was revealing and sometimes upsetting, but now that your private enemies or personal demons have been exposed, and you're starting to get over the shock of it all, you're ready to start fresh. Even though your career sector is not a place of special activity or interest this month, its ruler, Uranus, is sitting right in your sign, so for many Tauruses, this is about your true calling. But it's also about your personal initiative, presentation, and attitude. You're working for yourself first and foremost, and freedom to "do you" is more important to you than ever, perhaps and quite surprisingly, more so than security and certainty.

April is an important month for tying up loose ends and retiring or closing projects, attitudes, or goals. It's a good time for retreats and breaks if you can manage them. The last week of the month features an increase in activity, as well as your taste for it! Even so, there is still much, and perhaps even more, going on behind the scenes at this time--you're just more visible and noticeable. The only caution involved with this change of pace is to avoid being too impatient for results and hasty getting where you want to go.

A newer theme this month is Mars moving through your resources sector, bringing a stronger focus on your money, valuables, funds, assets, and talents. There can be good opportunities for applying yourself to business and practical affairs. Do watch for impulsiveness with your money. You could feel some reason to defend yourself, your values, and the respect you deserve. There can be a focus on more self-reliance when it comes to money. Finances can also be a hot topic with others, and there can be some volatility involved, but ultimately, stronger motivation to take charge.

Drama in your work and daily schedules can occur around the 19th. This can be a prompt either to focus on better self-care or to make changes with how you do your work or routines. The need to get organized and active in these areas comes on insistently at this time.

Friendships seem to improve day by day right from the get-go this month, mainly related to reliability and clarity. Still, there is a private or contemplative theme woven throughout the month, and you could be dealing with a lot behind the scenes, and possibly some challenges you've chosen to keep under wraps. Events can be such that you seek and get closure on various matters. You could be dealing with personal limitations stemming from your service-oriented responsibilities to others.

The final week of April finds you more noticeable but not as connected as one would expect with this visibility, as you still have a lot to sort out. Travel, publishing, educational, or promotional affairs require some rethinking. Consider reviving old studies or streamlining your approach to learning now.

Take every opportunity you can to learn new skills or develop your current ones. There could be an intense focus on training, learning, and connecting on the way. If there are weaknesses in a campaign or your current level of skill, then this is a time for handling problem areas. For some of you, there could be issues with a parent's daily affairs that require more responsibility on your part.
