Life would be a lot easier if you could make a simple, lasting, plan. But as has become increasingly clear this week, and will be more so over the coming days, even the simplest of arrangements is subject to change, possibly more than once. Knowing that, focus on the big picture. Details can wait.

Recent challenges have been informative. Still, Tuesday’s move by your ruler Venus into your sign begins a new, and upbeat, cycle. Still, let go of what doesn’t work. This may seem unwise, if not hasty. However, with the Sun and ideas planet Mercury both entering Taurus on Monday the 19th, the tide will turn suddenly and in a direction as exciting as it is unexpected. 

You can be amazingly patient when plans are organised and it’s clear what’s next. However, between unsettled arrangements and the resulting questions about timing and the outcome of plans, you’re uneasy. Yet during quiet moments with loved ones or in nature, you begin to gain a fresh, and unexpectedly optimistic, perspective on the present and, even more, the future. Take it slowly. Things will come together, but probably not until the Taurus New Moon on 11 May. What happens then will be well worth waiting for. 

You’ve been restless and probably seeking ways to turn the ideas spinning around in your mind into reality. This begins to happen, but not always as you’d imagined. The trick? Focus on the fact things are moving, not the gap between your vision and events. Gradually you’ll exchange concerns, if not the feeling you should battle the unexpected to enthusiasm. Equally, you mood will become more inquisitive. You’ll soon recognise unwelcome surprises as being a better, and improved, version of your own plans. Do that in a single area of your life, and you’ll begin to embrace, and enjoy even unexpected events. What’s more, with the foundation on which plans are based shifting, what seemed your best option will change, possibly often. This variety of flexibility isn’t always easy for you, but worth learning to embrace
