Have you discovered a new way of passing time that makes you feel alive? You might be smitten and love how it engages all of you. Whether it's painting, marathon-running or playing an instrument, this newfound passion seems to light a fire within. You'll want to master it, and that determination can feel amazing. And it will fuel your feel-good factor in all the right ways.

You're encouraged to find the sweet spot between hard work and relaxation. You generally have a laser-like focus, but even powerhouses need proper rest. The stars are nudging you to balance your fierce dedication with some soothing self-care. Whether it's yoga after a long day or a nap after the gym, respect your drive and your need to refuel. You'll be sharper and stronger for it.

Mercury enters Taurus and angles towards Pluto, so tensions could show up in your closest relationships where you're finding it hard to see eye-to-eye. While it may be easier to be stubborn, this cosmic clash might test your flexibility. Clinging too tightly to your views might spark unnecessary arguments while relaxing your grip can make this easily melt away.

The Full Moon in your sign on the 12th, can be a very important moment of your whole year. Your traditional ruler Mars is in strident form, and could see you push back if you feel anyone is trying to curtail your ambitions. But even if you do push hard to get what you want, the support of people close to you is still going to be key, so compromise is going to be important. If you're prepared to support others, that will give you an even greater chance of breaking into whatever drives you. You may find yourself taking a new health and fitness regime a lot more seriously as the month draws to a close, however.
