Today’s transits might temporarily confuse desires or frustrate actions, particularly if you’ve been taking on too many different things, and now you’re faced with some of the resultant chaos. You may feel a little rebellious about making nice with others or doing your errands and handling everyday affairs. Watch that in your haste you don’t make rash moves or statements.Taurus

This cycle can be a time of greater understanding of the more spiritual side of love or a time of making sacrifices in the name of love. Your affections are private or in a state of flux, but your compassion engages more fully, which can draw you to people who need help. Benefits can come through behind-the-scenes efforts. It’s an excellent time for enjoying some level of solitude and privacy, as well as for becoming very cozy with your inner world. Ideally, you gain a greater understanding of your past and your deeper feelings about recent events. Intuition is heightened, particularly with people, and so is sensitivity, so take special care of yourself during this period. Today, there can be nuisances that seem to clash with your independent streak. Impatience and changes of plans can be part of the picture, but they might also lead to interesting detours.
