In astrology, people born between April 21 and May 20 are Taureans. The Tarot Major Arcana card corresponding to Taurus is The Hierophant, number 5. Taurus is further divided into three phases. Each phase has a Minor Arcana card associated with it. These cards reflect lessons and opportunities given to people born within each phase.
April 21 to 30: FIVE OF PENTACLES. Right use of power is a central theme. You seek acquisition and dominion over your environment and the people in it. By exerting force and control, you risk creating upheaval and unwanted change for yourself and those close to you. Overpowering others can lead to personal impoverishment. Seeing the negative consequences of your actions and modifying your approach is your lesson.
May 1 to 10: SIX OF PENTACLES. Transmitting practical ideas and methods is your opportunity. Your lessons: Beware of attachment to “the way it’s always been done/supposed to be done.” Learn to be more affectionate and playful. Practice learning new things. Remember confidence follows competence.
May 11 to 20: SEVEN OF PENTACLES. Lesson: Your instincts are usually spot on. With practice, you can shape instinct into a more spiritual ability: intuition. Fear of “failure” (in your own eyes and in your projections) mars your advancement and prevents your task completion. Seeing “prosperity” as the real-world manifestation of a bigger picture helps you explore the depths of your self.
