TAURUS (April 20-May 20): In the coming week, I doubt you’ll misplace your keys or forget to set your alarm clock or spill soup on your shirt. While shopping, you’ll be intuitive about picking the checkout line that moves fastest. If you take a plane somewhere, your luggage will show up promptly in the baggage claim area. In other words, Taurus, the little things in life will go well for you, reducing your wasted time and inconvenience to near zero. May I suggest that you respond to this grace period not by cramming in more busy work, but by giving yourself regular opportunities to enjoy the luxury of taking deep breaths and gazing at the big picture?

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): We’re almost halfway through 2007. Let’s take inventory of how well you’re capitalizing on this year’s unique opportunities. Are you becoming a better judge of character? Have you cultivated your skill at reading people’s energy and understanding what motivates them? I hope so, because 2007 should be the year you generate big benefits for yourself by bringing out the best in your allies and cohorts. Whenever you catalyze their potentials, the universe will in turn conspire to catalyze your potentials.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): In what areas of your life are you trying too hard? How might you be undoing your good intentions by grasping them so tightly that you’ve squeezed out all the juice? In what ways are you so boxed in by habitual thoughts that you’re not spontaneous any more? It’s a perfect moment to fix these problems, Taurus. To begin getting yourself in the mood, relax every muscle in your body — especially your achy-breaky desire muscles — and half-sing, half-shout an exuberant “YO!”
