Horoscope

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): “Beginner’s mind” was originally a Zen practice. Many artists and thinkers now use it to stimulate their creativity. To achieve this blessed state, you dispense with all your preconceptions and enter each situation as if you’re seeing it for the first time. “In the beginner’s mind there are many possibilities,” wrote Shunryu Suzuki in his book, *Zen Mind, Beginner’s Mind,* “but in the expert’s there are few.” As much as I love beginner’s mind, though, I have an even more important assignment for you this week, Taurus: Cultivate a *beginner’s heart.* Approach every encounter with love as if you’re feeling it for the first time.
