The Sun, our source of light and life, is in earthy Taurus until May 20, putting the focus on gathering and developing resources. This sign favors practical projects and consistency over highflying fantasies and irregular bursts of activity. Increasing self-worth, and eventually income, is rooted in being true to yourself. If you lack inspiration now, look to nature to find the beauty and miraculous processes that are excellent models for your own creative potential. The New Moon in Taurus on May 5 is a great time to commit to a steady process of self-improvement. Whether it's physical or mental, work-related or personal, establishing healthy habits now will serve you well. This is a time to think of the long haul rather than short-term solutions to material problems.
Of course, if you're financially stressed, it's natural to do whatever you have to in the moment to cover your bills. But if you have any choice in the matter, think about where you want to be professionally in five years and make your plans accordingly. The Full Moon on May 19 is emotionally intense and could even provoke a sense of panic. Common sense can be lost in the haze of a shaky situation. If you're feeling unsettled, avoid making a rash decision that can waste your precious time, money and energy. The Sun's shift into mobile Gemini later on May 20 signals a turn toward diversity. Check back with anyone you 've contacted in the past who could be helpful to you now as communication is key in this chatty sign.
