TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Once the full impact of Einstein’s theory of relativity became clear, an admiring journalist interviewed him about the process by which he’d arrived at the revolutionary breakthrough. “How did you do it?” the journalist asked. “I ignored an axiom,” Einstein replied. Now let’s analyze that statement for your use, Taurus. Einstein didn’t say he’d ignored an opinion or theory, but rather an idea so well-established that it was regarded as self-evident. Furthermore, he didn’t say he rebelled or fought against the axiom: He simply acted as if it weren’t there. I suggest you follow his example exactly in the coming week.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Some astrologers theorize that there’s an undiscovered planet called Vulcan, whose orbit is inside that of Mercury. Because it’s so close to the sun’s obliterating blaze, scientists haven’t detected it. In ancient Roman mythology, Vulcan was the god of metal-working. From his forge beneath the earth, he made tools for himself and the other gods. His creations were renowned for both their usefulness and beauty. The astrologers who propose the existence of the planet Vulcan say it’s the ruler of Taurus. I bring this to your attention because it so happens that you’re poised to channel its influence with maximum strength in the coming weeks. Try this meditation: Visualize yourself wielding controlled fire to forge beautiful and useful things for you and your powerful allies.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): *Mojo* means magic power or uncanny charisma. It can also refer to a fertility spell or sexual magnetism. Cat Yronwode, scholar of indigenous African-American religions, believes that while “mojo” may be a corruption of the word “magic,” it’s more likely derived from the West African word “mojuba,” which refers to a prayer of praise and homage. In voodoo, a mojo bag is a cloth pouch filled with supernatural charms. “Mojo” is also invoked to mean the unpredictable benevolence of a mysterious force beyond our comprehension or the skill of a person who has stolen a boon from the gods. I hope these definitions will help you make the most of the fact that your relationship with mojo is now ripening nicely, Taurus.
