This is a great time to indulge in your favorite foods, take a relaxing vacation, or simply spend time in nature. Taurus energy encourages us to slow down and appreciate the simple things in life, so embrace taking a break and enjoy the moment.

Towards the end of the month, the full moon in Scorpio on April 27 brings intense emotions and deep transformations to the surface. Time to confront your fears and purge any old patterns that are holding you back. It may feel uncomfortable at first, but the rewards of facing your shadow self are worth it. Trust that the universe is guiding you towards your highest good, and embrace the changes that come your way with open arms.
