Life is not rational. No matter how pragmatic approach we take, life still catches us off guard. When this starts happening more often we start questioning the meaning of life. 2003-04 are years when your perspective about life in general is undergoing profound changes. What we typically desire from life when we are young is material security, stuff. Stuff offers you less satisfaction these days. The younger Taurus Sun individuals get this lesson early in life. April-July marks a period, when that message is driven home some more. The lack or shortage of cash at that time can coerce you learn ways to conserve better. The convictions and beliefs you held dear just a few short years ago no longer satisfy you. The invisible aspects of life, the big mysteries and occult (that simply means hidden) aspects are occupying your thoughts more often. The esoteric purpose of life is for us to wake up to discover our essence or divinity. The words alone might have sounded far-fetched to you not that long ago. Now you find yourself wondering what if there is something to that.
The concept that 'you are born, live, die, the end.' - seems like such a big waste. If we did not move onto another level or have subsequent lives what would be the point of working toward getting better and perfecting our skills, attitudes and persona. Basically the essence and existence of the soul becomes a personal quest. Some of the scientific discoveries may make this quest more rational. What is it, and can it be identified or at least partially understood.
Your long-term goals likewise undergo periodic changes, somewhat disruptive
yet ultimately satisfying. The thoughts, concepts and ideas you pondered in
the Summer of 2003 are now starting to take shape. Some of these gradually
become sources of income. You may like status quo but you know that is not
realistic. By the end of summer you are reaping the rewards of your efforts.
Avoid investments and major purchases Mid-May through end of June as what
you acquire then may not retain its purchase value. Major career moves at
that time are more likely to lose their luster quickly. Pay attention to any
physical complaints at that time - see a healthcare professional rather than
ignore the symptoms.
