TAURUS (April 20-May 20): The love song is an endangered species. Lots of modern musicians do sex songs and pain songs and rage songs, but few are inclined to craft tunes in which they declare their passionate affection and describe it in all its nuanced uniqueness. As a result, Taurus, you will most likely be out of sync with the tenor of the times in 2004. Your heart will be stirred as it hasn’t been in many moons. Even if you’re not a professional vocalist, you may often feel longings to express your lush emotions in song. If I were going to get you a holiday gift, it would be a compilation CD filled with the greatest love songs of the last sixty years.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Three billion years ago, the Earth’s original single-cell organisms thrived in a carbon dioxide-rich atmosphere. As a byproduct of their metabolism, however, they released an abundant amount of oxygen. It was a pollutant that ultimately made their environment uninhabitable for them, though it prepared the way for the oxygen-breathers that now dominate the planet. Now let’s meditate on how this might be a useful metaphor for you, Taurus. Is there any “pollutant” produced by the person you were in the past that could be valuable for the person you will become in the future?

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): If typical, you will make love about 2,500 times in your lifetime. But maybe only 25 of those encounters will offer this week’s blend of physical rapture and spiritual breakthrough. I’m not exaggerating, Taurus. The cosmos is inviting you to be the recipient of a mind-expanding peak experience or two. To take maximum advantage, be as innocent and open as you dare. Find the place in you where lust and compassion overlap. (P.S. You don’t necessarily need a partner to enjoy these gifts. If you’re single, shed any shame you have about solo sex and explore its mysteries.)

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): In her book *Writing Down the Bones,* Natalie Goldberg tells aspiring wordsmiths to “Write from your obsessions. They’re going to run your life anyway, so why not harness them?” That’s good advice if you’re an artist in any medium. The consuming fetishes and raging fantasies that threaten to drive you crazy can be converted into excellent raw material for your creative urges. But what if you’re not a novelist or painter or musician or actor? How can you turn your obsessions into assets? Be alert for answers to this question. Cosmic forces are conspiring to bring you crisp new insights.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): “Do one thing that scares you every day,” counsels novelist Kurt Vonnegut. That’s easy for a risk-loving Scorpio like him to say, but is it good advice for you Tauruses, who typically thrive on peace and safety? At most other times, I would say no; I’d suggest you force yourself to face your fears no more than once a month. But the coming weeks are shaping up as a departure from your usual rhythms. You can do a lot to ensure your long-term peace and safety through regular encounters with unpredictable experiences that will scare up your hidden reserves of courage.
