Weekly Astrological Horoscopes: May 28th to June 3rd 2011

The art of astrology is highly individual, making it difficult to create generalized horoscopes that are in any way accurate. Despite this, it is possible to gain a general overview of the week by understanding the basic sun signs. There is something in the offering for every sign as June makes it appearance this week, from May 28^th – June 3^rd, 2011.

Aries

As June arrives, the powerful Aries may be pulled in too many directions at once. In all the running around, you may find be tempted to put others ahead of yourself. But this is the month where you need to stand up and make yourself heard. Make an effort to communicate your desires and needs while still helping those you care about.

Taurus

This is a practical week for the dependable Taurus. Stay determined and you’ll soon find yourself accomplishing goals you might have otherwise given up on. You may be feeling creative this week, so give into this urge and you may find yourself achieving more than simply personal satisfaction.

Gemini

The eclipse that occurs this week is set firmly in the sign of Gemini. This means that you may feel a little lost and feel as if you don’t know who you are anymore. Be patient. This will pass as Mercury arrives in your sign, bringing with it a new clarity.

Cancer

As a Cancer, you will probably be drawn to help friends in need. Though you’ll do this out of the goodness of your heart, you might find that while helping, you discover something you’ve been looking for. This might be as subtle as a compliment that boosts your self-confidence or as helpful as a job offer that you’ve been waiting for.

Leo

This is a social week for you, Leo. You may find yourself with invitations to a variety of social events and come of them may conflict with each other. You might be tempted to cancel on one friend to hang out with another, but this isn’t the time to be flighty. Stick to your commitments.

Virgo

Mercury indicates that your ambitions will be met with success this week, Virgo. But Neptune may make you see everything through rose-colored glasses. If you want to be successful in all you do, be a realist for just the one week. Do what you have to in order to attain your goals. Don’t just expect that these goals will complete themselves.

Libra

This is a week of liberation for Libra. Something has probably come to an end in your life recently, perhaps a romantic or business relationship. It may have even been a friendship gone bad. Regardless, you have regained the freedom you thought you had lost. Be optimistic about the future, since it won’t be long before new prospects arise.

Scorpio

This week Scorpio is quite the conversationalist. You’ll find yourself wanting to talk to everyone about everything. Follow this instinct, because somewhere in all those conversations will be a little piece of wisdom that you’ve been searching for, even if you didn’t know it. This information may change your life.

Sagittarius

Your relationships may have been rocky in past weeks, Sagittarius. Perhaps this is because you’ve been too focused on what you don’t have. Take a good long look at what you do have and try not to take it for granted. Relationships of all kinds take work, so be prepared.

Capricorn

It may have been hard to get people to take you seriously in past weeks, Capricorn. However, those people who’ve overlooked you begin to see you for who you truly are. They finally realize that you can be fun and serious at the right times and they respect you for it. This may result in job offers or a change of career.

Aquarius

Your focus may shift to entertaining this week, Aquarius. If you feel the need to invite people over for parties or other activities, you should do so. You are a wonderful host and your friends and acquaintances know this and will be eager to attend. Hosting a party will also give you the opportunity to show off your delightful sense of humor, which you may not have had a chance to do lately.

Pisces

It might feel good to reconnect with family and your home life, Pisces. Host a family gathering if you’ve felt a little distant lately. You might find yourself attached to your home this week to the point where you start thinking about a hobby you can do at home. You might even find yourself considering a home-based business. Even if you choose not to do these things, they’re still worthy of consideration.

The Astrological Sun Signs: The Personality of Taurus

Those born between April 20th and May 20th are connected to the sign of Taurus, the second of the sun signs. This sign symbolizes dependability and an unwavering perseverance. Taurus is the sign of the Bull, and individuals with this trait often express the words, “I have.”

The sun sign isn’t the only component in astrology. Moon signs, houses, and aspects also have their part to play. However, most birth charts are primarily based upon the sun sign.

The Character of Taurus

If you were born under the sign of Taurus, you may not be the first one to strike out for new horizons, but you will often be the determined follower, the one who will see things through to the end. This stubborn sign has a tendency towards tenacity, and often exhibits a relentless drive for success. In pursuit of this success, you are often an immovable force, stubborn and strong.

Taurus is one of the fixed signs, so you are unlikely to be fond of change, especially unexpected change. As a general rule, you resent being rushed into anything, often to the point where you simply refuse to accept change at all. Sometimes, a new approach will cause anxiety and create a great unease within you. You tend to prefer the familiar, and are probably prone to thinking “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it!”

You may have quite the temper, but tend not to show it. You can be patient and gentle, and might only exhibit anger when you are strongly opposed, perhaps even pushed in a direction you do not want to go. Beneath your gentle exterior, there may be a storm brewing. Like the bull your sign resembles, you may not be looking for a challenge, but you have the ability to assert yourself if anyone seeks to challenge you.

As this sign is ruled by Venus, you may possess a gentle and loving side, the side of you which can be creative and inspired, and you may have a great love of art and music. As an earth sign, you are likely the very nature of stability, and this combines with your innate creative side, resulting in a responsible, steadfast person who usually has a deep appreciation of the more elegant things. Because of this tendency, Taurus can be materialistic, thinking of possessions, wealth, and money quite frequently.

The Sign of Taurus and Its Relationship with Others

Taurus likes security and permanence, and so you are likely to seek these things in your career, home, and relationships. While others may be out and about, having a fine time, you are probably happier at home, surrounded by your possessions and secure in the affections of your mate. You are unlikely to stray, whether it be in your relationship or in your career aspirations.

Others may see you as thrifty or even cheap. However, you simply may not give lavish tokens of your appreciation and affection because you are not a carefree spender, preferring to see great value in return for your hard-earned money. For most born under the sign of Taurus, it can be difficult to express affection, as you tend to be private and self-contained. Others may see this as a negative, but you see it as prudent and wise.

Living with a Taurus isn’t always an easy thing to do. It is possible that you are secretive, stingy, highly opinionated, suspicious, and possibly even slightly dogmatic in nature. Your stubbornness may reveal itself in your desire to stay in one place, and your friends and family may be frustrated by what they interpret as self-indulgence and laziness. You may not be quite as lazy as they think you are. In fact, you probably have great stores of energy, but this is energy that you will use when you choose. You cannot be forced into anything.

You may be shy and reserved most of the time, but you can be a wonderful host or hostess, when the mood strikes you. You likely prefer the company of a few close friends, and may shun larger gatherings. You probably enjoy pampering yourself with a good meal and maybe a fine glass of wine, but you’re not prone to the excesses of some of the other signs, such as Leo or Libra.

Taurus is an endearing combination of dependability, sensibility, and sensitivity. Those born under this sign are usually practical and solid, but they may be romantics at heart. The correspondences of Taurus are a powerful influence for this sign, and contribute to the pure stubbornness that is Taurus.

Weekly Astrological Horoscopes: May 14th to May 20th 2011

The art of astrology is very complex, making it difficult to create generalized horoscopes. There are just too many variables, such as aspects, houses, and moon signs to take into account. However, it is possible to gain a general overview of the week by understanding the basic sun signs. There is something in the offering for every sign this week, from May 14^th – May 20^th, 2011

Aries

Moderation is key this week in all aspects of your life. As a volatile Aries, you should take things slow and think before you act. This is especially true in financial matters. You may find yourself tempted to spend money you don’t have, but this will only backfire in the end. If you don’t think you can resist temptation, enlist the aid of a friend of family member.

Taurus

This is a powerful week for the determined Taurus. This might be your opportunity to take charge and finish some projects that have been left undone. You might even have the confidence to start something new. Your determination and single-mindedness will fuel your success, but only if you have the courage to stand behind your own convictions.

Gemini

Gemini faces changes in relationships this week. If you`ve been in a stale relationship, you might finally find the courage to walk away. For the single Gemini, a romantic relationship may start to blossom. It won`t come into full bloom right away, however. You`ll have to work to make a relationship worthwhile.

Cancer

As a Cancer, you might find yourself the center of attention this week. You should revel in this, keeping your metaphorical dance card full. However, you might find that you need a few minutes here and there just for you. Don`t be afraid to take them. Your friends and family will understand.

Leo

Overconfidence is your weakness this week, Leo. Take a moment to truly evaluate the various situations you`ll be presented with during the week and genuinely prepare for them. Tone down the overconfidence and possible snobbery and you`re family and friends will thank you for it.

Virgo

Your well-established routine may be beginning to bore you. Try changing it up this week. Even little changes can spark renewed interest in life. You might want to take a different route to work or have something new for breakfast. If you`re looking for a larger change, get a little adventurous and go somewhere you haven`t visited before.

Libra

On the surface, this week looks to be rocky for Libra. However, all is not lost. Renew your commitment to projects that may have been put off too long and try to think long term. While you`re thinking about the future, just try to move through the week. If you feel your way through the next few days, your week might be easier.

Scorpio

You may have been struggling with personal relationships in the past few weeks. This might be the time to resolve these problems, but it won`t be easy. If you`re willing to commit time and effort, you can sort everything out.

Sagittarius

This is a social week for Sagittarius. You may find that you`re making new friends, both at work and in more social settings. This might tempt you to mix work and pleasure, but don`t. This isn`t the time, and if you do, you might be setting yourself up for disaster.

Capricorn

You`ve worked hard these past weeks, so take the time to relax and enjoy yourself. Go out with friends, spend some time outdoors, or do whatever it is you need to inject a little fun into your life. This also might be the reconnect with your family, so make the effort.

Aquarius

Home is your focus this week, Aquarius. You might want to spend some time beautifying your home or garden. As an alternative, spending some quality time with your family might truly give you a sense of satisfaction. If you really find yourself attached to home life, consider starting a home-based business.

Pisces

Pisces will have a difficult time sitting still this week. You might feel like a butterfly, flitting from flower to flower with little rhyme or reason to it. Try to calm down and increase your attention span. Try to find something to keep you engaged and excited.
