Getting Started with This Week’s Taurus Vibes
Alright, so Sunday night rolls around and I’m kicking back with my herbal tea – chamomile, gotta relax, right? Scrolling, saw my weekly Taurus horoscope pop up for April 16-22. Title screamed “Special Week!” with some “Key Advice.” Honestly, I kinda groaned. Usually, I just skim these, but something felt different. Maybe it’s that stubborn Taurean in me thinking, “Prove it.” So, I decided: screw it, gonna actually follow this advice for the full week and see what happens. Like a personal experiment. Grabbed my notebook – yeah, old-school paper – and scribbled down the date at the top.
Main advice points I jotted down:
- Monday: “Prioritize comfort and security.” (Predictable, we Bulls love that).
- Tuesday: “Focus on your finances! Resist impulse buys.” (Oof, my weakness – looking at you, online shopping cart).
- Wednesday: “Connect deeply with loved ones.”
- Thursday: “Channel your inner strength, tackle challenges.”
- Friday: “Opportunity knocks! Be open.”
- Weekend: “Indulge in Venus pleasures responsibly.” (Aka my favorite bit – food, relaxation, beauty).
Putting It Into Action (The Good, The Bad, The Meh)
Monday rolled in hard. Woke up feeling wired, not grounded. Looked at my notebook: “Comfort & security.” Okay, fine. Instead of rushing emails, I started by making my space actually cozy. Lit my fancy candle gathering dust, brewed a proper pot of coffee in my favourite mug, arranged my desk neatly. Small things, but man, did it shift my mood. Felt noticeably calmer tackling work. Wasn’t magic, just less frazzled. Ticked Monday off.
Tuesday was the real test. Mid-afternoon slump hits, online ads are popping up everywhere – new jacket, cool gadget… wallet practically vibrating. Remembered Tuesday’s “finances/resist impulses.” Looked at my cart full of nonsense. Sighed. Actually closed the browser tabs. Felt like denying myself chocolate. But I did it! Ended up reviewing my budget app instead, cancelled a pointless subscription. Felt weirdly powerful resisting the shiny things.
Wednesday fizzled a bit. Planned to call my sister “deeply connect.” Ended up mostly chatting about the neighbor’s loud dog and the weather. Felt more routine than deep. Maybe I half-arsed this one. Need to try harder connecting properly, not just going through motions.
Thursday brought a curveball. Work project hit a snag, code refusing to cooperate. Usual me would spiral into grumbling frustration. This time, reminded myself: “Channel inner strength.” Took a walk – actual fresh air! – came back, broke the problem down step-by-step instead of panicking. Didn’t solve it instantly, but tackled it methodically without the meltdown. Progress, not perfection.
Friday felt promising. Kept ears open for “opportunity knocks.” Did notice an email about a potential small freelance gig – something I’d normally ignore. Remembered “be open,” so I replied expressing interest. Felt out of character, but kinda good? Didn’t land it (yet?), but hey, I clicked send. That counts as open, right?
Wrapping Up & Actually Indulging
Come Saturday, Venus time! Fully leaned into “indulge responsibly.” Cooked an amazing, slow-cooked meal (so much butter, Taurus approved). Took a long bubble bath with expensive bath salts I’d been saving for “someday.” Listened to chill music. Key was “responsibly.” Didn’t binge-eat the entire cake, didn’t blow my budget online. Pure, intentional enjoyment. Felt luxurious without guilt. Perfect end to the experiment.
So, was this week “special”? Maybe? Following the advice didn’t make me rich or find love, but it nudged me out of autopilot. Tuned me into my own bull-headed rhythms more consciously. The resisting spending and actually relaxing properly were big wins. The connecting thing? Need work. Overall though? Worth writing down. Gotta remember those small shifts can feel kinda significant when you bother to pay attention. Taurus experiment: success. Mostly.
