The Sun enters Taurus on April 20. Taurus’ energetic focus is on mastering how to create wealth and abundance in our lives. It is a fixed-earth sign that embodies the inherent fertility of earth and nature — the ultimate resources of material prosperity. Now is an excellent time to put our attention on growing our financial well-being. A new cycle is beginning now.
From a practical standpoint, we need to get our financial house in order. We need to look to ways that we can increase our cash flow and reduce costs and living expenses. It is time to make budgets, live within our means, and establish fiscal discipline. If you have debt you want to reduce, eliminate it and start a savings program. Money is a resource that needs to be cultivated and grown. There will most likely be difficult times ahead, and we need to start preparing for them now. Forewarned is forearmed.
Aries (March 21 to April 19) This month is focused on improving your financial situation. You need to take dynamic action to improve your monthly income. It won’t be easy but you can do it. You need to think creatively on how to create greater value and thus greater reward. There will be blockage and resistance to your efforts but they can be overcome.
Taurus (April 20 to May 20) This is your month to shine. You are coming into your power now.

Cancer (June 22 to July 22) You are wanting to be of service to your fellow man and give expression to your innate, nurturing healing energy. There are opportunities now for you to rise to the top and be genuinely recognized for your ability. This recognition wants to result in increased compensation. Stay focused because you can become distracted.
Leo (July 23 to Aug. 22) The emphasis this month is on relationships. It wants you to work together with your partner or others to improve your financial situation. Some incomes and spending patterns will need to be changed for you to come into right alignment with successful money principles.

There are opportunities now to improve your financial situation through the implementation of creative ideas, but you must also keep costs under control.
Libra (Sept. 23 to Oct. 23) This can be a challenging month. A number of things are coming to a head. Issues surrounding love and money weigh on you and need to be dealt with. You need to set boundaries and limits with money and relationships. Independence is required and it is necessary for you to stand on your own two feet.
Scorpio (Oct. 24 to Nov. 21) You need to re-examine your plans for the future. There could be blockages and conflicts that manifest that you didn’t anticipate. Different goals or new strategies to achieve your desired goals may be necessary. Money issues can be significant but we also need to review your whole quality of life.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) New career opportunities are going to be presented to you — something that you can put your heart and soul into. You will be able to make more money and feel more fulfilled. But be careful to stay focused or you may miss your opportunity. And with your newfound success, don’t overspend your earnings.
Capricorn (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) The responsibilities of life are heavy now, and you can be overwhelmed by challenges. Generally, you thrive on these kinds of situations but now can seem like a little too much. Relationships and money issues will dominate your field of view. Hold your ground and try to work through it.
Aquarius (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) There is a sense of new beginnings and rebirth now. You feel inspired and want to soar and take flight. Spring fever is in the air and that magical, romantic energy is leading you in a good direction. Your heart and your mind are in a wonderful state of balance. Go for it.
Pisces (Feb. 19 to March 20) There are good opportunities for you to make more money and you will be able to utilize your innate qualities of love and wisdom.
