Taurus (20 April – 20 May) – This is a fabulous month for networking and establishing pleasant friendships and group associations. You continue to be especially ambitious, and there is a little less focus on family and personal matters, although changes are likely in the home, which can include moves, repairs, and changes in the structure of the family. You will continue to do so, a subtle yearning to belong with a friend or a group who shares your own ideals. This can lead you to attach yourself to unusual, more spiritual, or downright wacky friends…well, colorful ones at the very least. Favorable Dates: May 2, 6, 11, 15, 20, 24. Favorable Colors: Green & Blue.
Gemini (21 May – 20 June) – During this month, you encounter circumstances that test your willpower and your sense of autonomy. Power struggles are very possible, and they are most likely to play out in the arena of close personal relationships. You are shifting your value system with regards to partnerships–away from superficial and towards a more intense, intimate and satisfying level. During second half, you will be getting serious about learning, studying hard, and changing your attitudes towards work.
