Monthly Astrology Forecast April-May 2022
Welcome Taurus Season
The Sun leaves action-packed Aries into the grounded, slower-paced sign of Taurus on April 20.
With the Sun in sensual Taurus and Mercury also in Taurus until April 30, getting in touch with mother nature, our deeper senses, and the devotion to stick to our realistic aspirations will produce a wealth of abundance. Taurus takes pleasure in the physical, and the sensual so this month invites you to get in touch with the bounty of earthly pleasures, forming the space for your creativity and talents to come forward. This period is for slowing down, taking one step at a time, and consider where you may place your values. In addition, you may be enjoying the rewards of your hard work, indulging in life’s simple delights. If we keep our feet on the ground, remain focused, determined and with a sense of reality, any changes and current transformations commencing will begin to shoot with new growth.
The Benefits of Connecting with Mother Nature
Connecting with Nature can help you to increase your senses, improve concentration and mental wellness as well as assist you with daily stress and feelings of overwhelm. When we sit with nature, life begins to slow down. You can allow your mind to stop over thinking, enjoying the present moment with self and others expanding greater compassion, consideration and respect for all life.
