With Venus moving into Taurus on May 4th financial matters are settled with ease. If you desire a loan, it will be granted; if you need to save, the money will be there. Money will manifest abundantly. A desire to explore nature and travel is strong under this influence and should be acknowledged and explored, for this is the center of your Gemini nature.

This month the sun moves into Taurus, which can slow down your speedy energy and cause laziness, minor health problems, and the tendency to procrastinate.
