Monthly tarot card for Taurus: Nine of Cups, reversed
Happy birthday, Taurus. The Moon at the start of the month invites you to let go of things that no longer fit in with your ideas of love and partnership. You won't necessarily go through a breakup, but your relationships can improve once you decide you'll no longer allow certain energies into your life.
This is great news for you if you work on this during the first few weeks of the month, up to the New Moon in your sign on the 16th, and Mars entering your sign on the 18th. Since you have moved away from an all-work mentality to a bit of play. The Nine of Cups, reversed, is about dissatisfaction, even when you have all you want materially.
During your transitional period, you learned that friendships bring unique complications to your life, and you have to protect your time, peace, and priorities so as not to become engulfed by a busy life that produces results but not pleasure.
Venus enters Cancer on the 19th, your house of community, and it will join Jupiter, the planet of luck. You'll find that there is yet one more area of life to address: a feeling of emptiness that only true love can fulfill.
Jupiter can bring a marriage partner or an engagement, particularly to a caretaker type. You may find that your spiritual desires are boosted, encouraging you to trust a higher power to help you find what you need.
This is the month where you work on self-love and your romantic life. Evaluate what leaves you feeling lonely or lacking; you may need more than friends and a social circle. You'll want to have an intimate connection with someone special.
You can have everything material in the world and be surrounded by friends who appreciate you. However, without someone to share it with or happiness within yourself, a part of you will still feel like something essential is missing.
Plant seeds in the area where you wish to grow. In June, you will address that feeling and work through it.
