Taurus is the second sign of the zodiac, falling between April 20th and May 20th. It belongs to the Earth element along with Virgo and Capricorn. Venus, the planet of love, beauty, and money, rules this sign, which makes this sign notorious for sensuality, pleasure, and the desire for aromatic experiences. Taurus is associated with stability, sensuality, determination, and practicality. Like the bull, it loves to be in calm environments and indulge in the moment with the pleasures of life and luxury.

Taurus is a fixed sign, which means that individuals born under this sign tend to be stable and unwavering. They're known for their persistence, reliability, and resistance to change. Once they set their sights on a goal or a particular way of life, they are unlikely to steer off course easily – it may take a while. This makes them the most consistent sign of the zodiac, enabling them to see through their goals at their unique pace.

How A Taurus Sees Life

Taurus individuals approach life with a grounded and practical outlook, grounded in their values of stability, security, and appreciation for simple pleasures. They have a fixed understanding that success and fulfillment often come from hard work, dedication, and perseverance.

Their practicality allows them to face challenges with resilience and determination. Fleeting trends or impulsivity do not easily sway Taurus individuals; instead, they prefer to take a steady and methodical approach to achieving their goals. They understand the value of patience and persistence, knowing that success is often the result of consistent effort over time.

At the same time, Taurus individuals have a deep appreciation for the beauty and pleasures of life. They take joy in the sensory experiences that life has to offer, whether it's indulging in delicious food, surrounding themselves with luxurious comforts, or immersing themselves in the beauty of nature. Taurus individuals understand the importance of savoring life's pleasures and finding moments of tranquility away from modern-day doom scrolling.

The bull sign approach life with a balanced perspective, valuing both stability and enjoyment. They understand the importance of hard work and dedication in achieving their goals, while also taking the time to appreciate the beauty and richness of the world around them. With their practicality, determination, and appreciation for life's simple pleasures, Taurus individuals thrive in life with a sense of purpose and fulfillment.

Taurus Personality Traits

A Taurus embodies solidity and reliability, grounded in their unwavering nature and practical approach to life. With a deep-rooted connection to the Earth element, they exude a sense of stability and dependability that others find reassuring. Their personality is a harmonious blend of strength, sensuality, and steadfastness, reflecting the influence of their ruling planet, Venus.

They delight in the sensory experiences that the world has to offer, from the taste of sumptuous cuisine to the feel of luxurious fabrics against their skin. Taurus individuals have an innate ability to find beauty every day, infusing even the most mundane moments with a touch of magic.

One of the defining traits of Taurus is their determination and perseverance. When they set their sights on a goal, they pursue it with relentless focus and dedication, refusing to be swayed by distractions or setbacks. Their tenacity is matched only by their patience, as they understand that true success often requires time and persistence.

Despite their strong-willed nature, Taurus individuals are known for their gentle and nurturing spirit. They are fiercely loyal to their loved ones, offering unquestionable support and encouragement when needed. Taurus can be relied upon in times of trouble to provide a steady shoulder to lean on and a listening ear to confide in.

However, Taurus individuals can also be stubborn at times, unwilling to compromise or yield to the demands of others. While their persistence is admirable, it can sometimes lead to conflicts or dead ends in relationships. Learning to balance their determination with a willingness to adapt and compromise is an ongoing journey for many Taurus individuals.

Taurus In Love And Relationships

Taurus individuals are known for their loyalty and devotion to love and relationships. They seek stability and security in their romantic partnerships, valuing honesty, trust, and dependability above all else. With Venus as their guide, they desire a picturesque yet genuine love story. Showering their lovers with gifts and physical affection is their primary love language. Getting involved with a Taurus can make you experience love in the moment and safe. It is sensual, extrasensory, and at times can feel primal. A Taurus can extend the space for you to appreciate a simple life. There is a catch, the courting phase may take very long.

Taurus individuals are sensual beings who enjoy physical intimacy and the finer things in life. They often express their love through gestures of affection and support. They are patient and committed partners, willing to invest time and effort into building a strong and lasting bond with their significant other. As mentioned before, it takes a lot for a Taurus to make a move or change a pattern in everything – especially in love-related matters.

However, Taurus can also be possessive and stubborn in relationships, sometimes struggling to adapt to change or compromise. Taurus individuals are drawn to partners who share their values and outlook on life, seeking someone who can provide them with a sense of security and emotional fulfillment. A hot, quick affair is not an ideal situation for them – or at least they do not visualize this kind of love as long-lasting. They value stability and may resist upheaval or uncertainty in their romantic lives.

Trust is crucial for a Taurus; once established, they are fiercely loyal and devoted partners. Although a Taurus may take a long time to put a ring on it, the wait can be worth it. If their heart has been broken before, it will likely take them a long time for them to pick up the pieces and begin again or rebuild.

How A Taurus Handles Money

Taurus individuals have a practical and cautious approach to money matters. They value financial stability and security, often prioritizing saving and investing for the future. While they enjoy indulging in life's pleasures, they are also disciplined when managing their finances, preferring to live within their means rather than succumbing to impulse spending. If this doesn’t apply to you or the Taurus you are dealing with in your life now, this can be a hidden gem of ability if you learn through due diligence.

Typically, Taurus individuals are skilled at handling money and keenly eye for opportunities to increase their wealth. They are patient investors who are willing to wait for long-term returns rather than seek quick gains. However, they can also be possessive of their resources and may tend to hoard or hold onto material possessions. So if you owe a Taurus money or need to give back that sweater you borrowed, now can be a good time to do so.

At the same time, Taurus individuals are generous to their loved ones, often willing to lend a helping hand or provide financial support when needed. They take pride in their ability to provide for themselves and their families and obtain a sense of security and fulfillment from their financial achievements.

Taurus Career Fulfillment

For Taurus individuals, finding fulfillment in their careers is intricately tied to their values of stability, security, and tangible achievements. They are drawn to roles where they can utilize their practical skills and attention to detail, building something enduring and meaningful. Whether managing finances, cultivating the land, or creating aesthetic beauty, Taurus individuals seek careers that offer stability and fulfillment.

In their career ventures, Taurus individuals exhibit unwavering determination and perseverance. They are willing to put in the hard work and dedication necessary to achieve their goals, often taking a methodical and patient approach to their endeavors. This sign values tangible results and takes pride in seeing their earnings manifest through financial success, tangible assets, or aesthetically pleasing creations.

While Taurus individuals appreciate the material comforts and financial rewards that come with their chosen careers, they also derive fulfillment from the sense of purpose and accomplishment that their work provides. Whether it's helping clients achieve their financial goals, nurturing the earth and cultivating crops, or creating beautiful and harmonious spaces, Taurus individuals find meaning in contributing to something greater than themselves.

Ultimately, for Taurus, fulfillment in their careers comes from building a solid foundation of stability and security while making a tangible impact in their chosen field. They thrive in roles that allow them to combine their practical skills, attention to detail, and determination to create something enduring and meaningful. They find satisfaction in knowing their hard work makes a difference in the world.

Taurus souls bring a unique blend of traits to the table that define not just their personalities but also their entire approach to life. Grounded in the Earth element and influenced by Venus, they seek stability, security, and tangible achievements in everything they do. With their unwavering determination, keen appreciation for life's little pleasures, and steadfast loyalty to those they hold dear, Taurus individuals navigate their journeys with purpose and fulfillment. From indulging in sensory delights to building lasting bonds, managing finances wisely, and finding success in their chosen careers, Taurus individuals embrace life's adventures with a balanced outlook, cherishing stability, and joy along the way.

In spring movieThe Greatest Hits, Harriet loves vinyls — just like actress Lucy Boynton! "At home, I have a turntable," Lucy tells me. "My dad got me this really cool red record player, so it's like my pride and joy. And my dad and I — music has been the center of our relationship, so he's been giving me loads of his old vinyls since getting it. And the sound quality on vinyl is like nothing else. You hear the crunch of what it was supposed to be, and the sound in the room. So, yeah, that's where my heart is."

She's currently listening to Sam Cooke, but there's another artist who has a special place in her heart: Bob Dylan.

"Dylan's lyrics throughout the history of his career have spoken to young people and their restlessness," she says. "I remember always knowing that and enjoying his music aesthetically, and then hearing 'The Times They Are A-Changin'' when I was in my late teens. In that restlessness when you're trying to be a full person, you feel like an adult, but you're obviously still so young and so in denial of that. And I heard the lyrics to that and just felt so seen and...suddenly it's like I have someone far more eloquent than myself articulating exactly how I feel."

The same can be said for contemporary artists like Beyoncé, Olivia Rodrigo, and Taylor Swift, whose music consistently tops charts because it makes listeners feel seen. And in The Greatest Hits, music isn't just an emotional experience, it's a physical one too.

What is The Greatest Hits about?

Image via Searchlight Pictures

The Greatest Hits follows Lucy Boynton's Harriet, who can travel back in time by listening to specific songs — and who's hunting for the one track that will help her save her late boyfriend. Think of it like About Time with some of the relationship devastation that comes from A Walk To Remember. (For her part, Lucy was inspired by everything from Like Crazy to My Girl to The Year of Magical Thinking by Joan Didion). This movie has got everything you need from a good rom-com: incredible actors, memorable makeup from Euphoria's Donni Davy, and quirky details like a silent disco and the fact Harriet always wears headphones.

But the movie is also incredibly grounded. While Harriet is focused on her past relationship, a brand new one begins to blossom in the present, throwing an unexpected (if welcome) wrench in Harriet's plans. As a self-proclaimed "nostalgic, sentimental person," Lucy Boynton says The Greatest Hits made her think about living in the present in a whole new way.

"I knew it was better to live present and forward-looking," she says. "But this job calls for you to be so in tune with your past and feelings, and it's so useful when you can draw from your own experience. So I kind of kept one foot in the past deliberately...seeing the way that prohibits Harriet from being aware of what's happening in her present tense because you just miss opportunities. Something that could catch your eye if you're open to it won't happen if your peripheral is clouded by the past."

"I think it's such a temptation, I don't know how I would be able to resist if given the opportunity to go back," she continues. "But I don't know that it's fate so much as relinquishing the power. Where it's like, you don't know what the other road looked like...You don't know what option B was and yeah, something terrible could have happened [but] you might not know the people that you know now. And so I think as painful as things can [be], I don't know any other road and I would choose the safety of the road I know now and can learn from."

Who's in The Greatest Hits cast?

Image via Searchlight Pictures

In The Greatest Hits, Lucy stars opposite Justin H. Min and David Corenswet. She's worked with Will Poulter on Why Didn't They Ask Evans and Emma Watson on Ballet Shoes, but in 2023, she also had a role in the biggest movie of the year: Barbie!

While we only see her onscreen for a brief moment, Lucy says being a doll in Weird Barbie's (Kate McKinnon) house was a dream. "It was wild just to be in the room with those brains," she says. "It's undeniable. Greta is brilliant, but Kate McKinnon is a comedic genius...Just like hearing her riff, hearing her improv line after line was heaven. It was like being front row at SNL or something, and that's the joy of being on any kind of set. It's the experience in the moment. So yeah, that was a comedy show that I loved."

Lucy's also looking to the future and would "just love to be in anything written by Michaela Coel," she tells me. "I think she's an extraordinary, completely unique voice. And just brilliant. So, yeah, anything penned by her. I think Andrea Riseborough is a really extraordinary actress, Brit Marling. You know, the list is extensive."

Rapid Fire With The Greatest Hits' Lucy Boynton

Brit + Co: I love seeing all the dates Harriet goes on with her new love interest David. What's your idea of the perfect date?

Lucy Boynton: I think anything that's spontaneous. My best dates and my best memories have been days that [have] just unraveled as you go along them.

B+C: As much as I love dates, I also love having nothing to do. When was the last time you canceled plans?

LB: Embarrassingly recently. I feel like this press tour has kept me in line and kept me in check with the schedule. But it'll probably be tomorrow.

B+C: What is your on-set must-have?

LB: A book and mints because you're in really close proximity with people. So mints are a must-have and then a book because you're inevitably waiting around between set changes and it's always longer than you think it's going to be.

B+C: What is on your summer 2024 bucket list?

LB: Say yes to more things. I think, especially in a freelance job, it's really easy to want to keep the window open for any work that comes up. And I'm trying to be better at taking the reins on my own life and saying yes to more opportunities with friends and family. So honestly, just like a holiday. I'm going to go on holiday.

B+C: We've talked so much about nostalgia, is there anything particular you miss from the pre-smartphone era?

LB: Oh my God, yes. Not being cross eyed and glued to [your phone], I think. Just that thing of like, when you're waiting for someone, just being in your environment. And I know when you're young, that's for some reason humiliating, to look like you're not doing anything. But when it was just looking up and looking around, whereas when I have a beat [now], I'm probably looking at my phone and that's just horrific.

The days are getting longer and spring is fast approaching as we enter the month of March. Amid Pisces season, the veil is thinner, luring us to listen intently to our intuition and engage more with our artistic selves.

​What To Expect In Your March Horoscope For 2024

At the beginning of this month, Mercury continues to swim through Pisces’ waters. Envisioning our ideas coming to life through rose-colored glasses is expected. Jot down your ideas and work in small steps to stay grounded and organized. The love planets Venus and Mars are in the sign of Aquarius, and our creative process still feels out of reach. Don’t give up because all the alchemizing and formulating will pay off as you remain consistent. The same applies to your love story.

On March 3rd, your values and views towards love will march to a different beat as Venus crosses into an intense square with Uranus. You may see what could be in the name of love and your endeavors, but this planetary mixture can brew blunders or impulsive decisions. Cultivating patience and understanding will buffer your day and extend clarity. Don’t worry! Later this month, on the 28th, when Venus and Uranus are in sextile, you'll find a resolution, and all will make sense by then.

The mist will thicken, involving our mental clarity and awakening the dream realms on the 8th when Mercury conjoins Neptune. The conversations will slow down and feel illusory, and it's totally normal to feel more reflective during this. time. Start journaling your thoughts and begin an art or creative project because your intuitive self will expand, and the receptivity to new forms of information will lead to solutions you will need later this month.

Watch out for heated discussions or the urge to rebel against your superiors as Mars faces Uranus in an intense square on March 9th — Mercury will pick up speed later in the day as it enters the sign of Aries. This pioneer sign desires initiation and grit. The conversations exchanged will be rapid, and your confidence will skyrocket, but it can lead to a face plant moment if you're not careful. This action-packed day will also be supported by the Sun meeting Uranus in a supportive position, which can help you assess your limitless possibilities as you become open to trying something new. In work or your personal life, this day can pull you in different directions. It would be in your best interest to observe what makes you feel good in alignment with future decisions or ideas. Go with your gut, not your emotions.

Your Astrological Forecast Continued For March 2024 Horoscopes

We now meet with the ethereal New Moon in Pisces on the 10th, igniting a need to plant a seed of intention concerning our dreams and the bigger picture. Mercury, also in a supportive connection with Pluto, will help you realize your inner truth and the root of your needs. As Pisces is the sign that involves karma and the past, allow yourself the space to observe where you're in your path. Becoming detached from the material and self-serving tendencies will help you realize what should be your priority. This new moon enwrapped with Saturn and Neptune will solidify your promise. You will excavate the desired results as you lean into belief and alignment with an endeavor without selfish ties.

Love will be on the radar on the 11th, taking on a more ethereal tone as Venus enters the unconditional sign, Pisces. Relationships will be generated from a more heart-centered approach. The conversations will be passionate with Mercury in Aries, fully supporting you to speak truthfully rather than egocentrically. Be mindful, as these next several weeks can lead to codependent relationships or sacrificing tendencies. Orienting your values based on soul-filled connections will deepen the bonds and help you see the truth. Focus on the spirit rather than what looks good on paper.

Your dreams will likely be more lucid, and the imaginary realms will be fertile with endless thoughts and possibilities of what could be. The Sun infused with Neptune in conjunction on the 17th extends a technicolor response to life, helping you pay close attention to what you truly want in your story. Ignoring your feelings will backfire, leading to confusing results. Today is when you can take a chance to shift your life direction in correspondence to your dreams. Listen carefully and take notes.

Energetically, things will lighten up and spark a new wave of motivation when the Sun enters Aries on the 19th. This season motivates and extends an initiatory path for passion projects to come alive. As reflective as you were during Pisces season, Aries season will allow you to become fiery and courageous with your next steps. Arrange spring cleaning and begin a new routine that will inspire you to keep the momentum.

Expect solidity involving your relationships and creative endeavors when Venus sextiles Saturn on the 21st. This is the moment for you to see what is working involving the matters of the heart. This transit will be serious in tone, and if you're up for the commitment discussion involving your relationship, now is the time to get answers.

Our physical drive will be aligned with our emotions when the power planet Mars enters Pisces on the 22nd. Actions involving our love story will slow down, instilling the need to analyze its direction in line with compassion. It will soften the hard edges of what has transpired these last few weeks, and you will focus on what is most important in your connection. Your motivation will be steered in an energetic sense. What feels right will give you the boost you need.

The Lunar Eclipse on the 25th will guide our next steps involving our love story. Lunar Eclipses are essential in figuring out our current views on relationships. Venus leading this moon’s culmination will expose the truth while helping us navigate what we truly want in love. Remember that whatever is weighing you down, unpack the root cause in this, and then let it go.

Aries

This month, the focus of your lessons will be on your relationships, both current and future. Venus, the planet of love, will be in your friendship and networks zone and in a square aspect with Uranus on the 3rd. This may bring unexpected challenges that test your self-worth and loyalty. However, the beginning of the month will help you become more assertive and understand the importance of setting boundaries. The new moon on the 10th will help you emotionally focus on your long-term endeavors, but it's not a time to get to work. Establishing a new sacred practice to deepen your connection with your Higher Self is best to work with this lunation. This will level up your manifestation game and help you navigate what’s of the highest priority in your life. It’s about to get serious as Venus enters Pisces on the 11th, motions you to slow down and analyze your connections because when the love planet joins with Saturn on the 21st, this is the moment when you understand where your love is heading. The Lunar Eclipse on the 25th will lift the veil involving your love story. As you dig deeper into your partnership or revisit past unresolved matters, you will find clarity and understanding of what you can do to improve your outcome.

Taurus

Taurus, you can make changes this month and work toward your desired goals. On the 3rd, Venus will square off with Uranus, motivating you not to take "no" for an answer in your career or when dealing with authority figures. It's important to maintain optimism and avoid burning bridges. This will help you showcase your talents to your superiors or in your public life. When the new moon in Pisces arrives on the 10th, it's a great time to plant a new seed that involves collaboration for future endeavors. This will ensure success.

This lunation will highlight the importance of connecting to your body and its vitality and letting go of toxic situations. If you plan to begin a health regimen or leave an environment, this is the moment to witness the changes in your body in retrospect to your life experience. This process requires you to master your self-limiting beliefs and implement a metaphysical or alternative approach to your lifestyle.

Gemini

Some changes are expected to happen this month for you, Gemini. Your energy is magnetic and full of possibilities. It's a strength of yours to be curious and experimental. You can name your terms in your career or pinpoint your aspirations. However, on the 3rd of this month, Venus squares Uranus, and you may have doubts regarding your inner beliefs and confidence. Use this as an opportunity to be bold and start charting out your desired dreams. This pressure you feel can be fuel to your motivation.

The new moon in Pisces on the 10th will help you turn over a new leaf and begin a new endeavor. You might experience a change in your work-life status, and setting your intentions about what you truly desire will attract results. The lunar eclipse phases in your romantic zone on the 25th will allow you to close a chapter regarding a storyline you no longer wish to live out. This could manifest in your romantic patterns or conclude a creative project. On the 28th, when Venus sextiles Uranus, expect a powerful breakthrough and momentum building up. You will be magnetic on this day, and this is an opportunity to get answers about your relationship status or career position. Arrange a sit-down with your partner (or yourself) and clearly express what you want for your future.

Cancer

Cancer, your approach to life this month will be like walking in a dream, as everything you set your heart on will take root. Your relationships will deepen with the love planets Venus and Mars advancing in your spiritual zone. On the 3rd, when Venus and Uranus meet in an intense square, expect to be swept off into a new phase in your love story – such as a long-distance romance or engaging in higher learning together. On the 8th, when Mercury and Neptune are in conjunction, your higher mind will regenerate, stimulating you to engage in a new belief system or finally launch your passion project. The new moon on the 10th will set you on a refined path involving your long-term dreams, inspiring you to go back to school or begin a new spiritual practice. Becoming more engaged in the energetic side of life instead of the material realms will give you a powerful boost in your love story or endeavors. Your love story will get serious on the 21st as Venus aligns with Saturn – this is your opportunity to ascend your relationship status and plan your next steps.

Leo

Your focus this month will be on where your loyalties lie in your partnerships, Leo. With Venus and Mars approaching your private life zone, this is where you will begin to see the areas that have been overlooked. On the 3rd, Venus and Uranus will add a pivotal moment in your stance in your relationship or partnership in a challenging sense. As a bold sign, you're equipped for confrontation, and that feeling of friction will taper off as you hold steady and observe from a different perspective – positivity and detachment are key. When Mercury aligns with Neptune on the 8th, you will be inspired to pay attention to your priorities and begin to navigate your future decisions guided by your intuition. Begin a meditation practice or create a sacred space to boost your skills and instill clarity. The new moon on the 9th will bestow a great opportunity to strengthen your trust in your most intimate relationships or begin a new chapter after past setbacks or disappointments. When Aries season begins on the 19th, things will lighten up for you, as you will feel renewed and inspired to take on new endeavors guided by your passions. The lunar eclipse on the 25th will prompt you to reflect on your ideas, communication, and inner connections. A part of you has to evolve to make room for better opportunities, which may involve your perception of the world. Let go and become open to new information to gain better traction.

Virgo

As a service-oriented sign, you have been wearing many hats at work, dotting too many I’s and crossing T’s lately – and may have been experiencing borderline burnout. With Venus and Mars crossing over your daily life zone, this is your month to name your terms while prioritizing self-care and passion-related pursuits. Romance is in the works, but this part of your journey requires boldness, and on the 3rd, this can be your window of opportunity with Venus in square to Uranus. If you feel courage brimming inside your heart, make a move. If you're in a stable partnership, leave your comfort zone to elevate your love life. With the new moon on the 9th in your partnership zone, you can manifest the love you deserve and list your intentions. With the love planet Venus and Mars phasing in your relationship sector these next few weeks, expect upgrades in your partnerships, leading to solidity and commitment on the 21st. An engagement, marriage, or a shift in your partnership status will result. The lunar eclipse will conclude this month with revelations involving your views towards money and financial stability. Closing a chapter or refining your skillset will open doors to increasing abundance. Future collaborations and negotiations are favorable at this time – be open-minded.

Libra

Being the social butterfly of the zodiac, you thrive on forming connections, and this month will allow you to shine in this department with Venus and Mars, activating your romantic sector and creativity. Venus in square to Uranus on the 3rd will add a challenge involving your current connections, signaling you to analyze the state of your needs. Focusing on the purity of purpose in your relationships will help you navigate its direction. On the 9th, with the war planet Mars, in an intense position with Uranus, will invoke the necessary changes desired in your love story and creative endeavors. This requires reinvention and detachment from the outcome. The new moon on the 10th will be a great opportunity to begin a fitness regimen, self-care practice, or trigger movement in your work environment. Investing time in your health and well-being will keep your body balanced in time for the lunar eclipse on the 25th. This lunar eclipse in your sign is a big deal as it will shift the importance of paying attention to your vulnerability while incorporating your needs. The people-pleasing tendencies will fade away these next few months, helping you live a more authentic and magical path.

Scorpio

The mysterious yet intense energy you possess is a gift because you have the innate ability to get to the bottom of things. This month will be filled with revelations involving your emotional security and family connections. Venus and Uranus form an intensity in your home life on the 3rd, requiring you to slow down and analyze the state of your surroundings – personally or investment-wise. Change is necessary to navigate this transit soundly, and it would be best to arrange a family meeting and get your priorities in order. When Mercury meets with Neptune on the 8th you're granted a silver lining and a restful period to reflect by engaging in fun. Let your hair loose and orchestrate time with your children or nurture your inner child by connecting with your creative self. The new moon on the 9th will also extend a second wind in your life direction, helping you to ground down what’s next involving your happiness and your emotional satisfaction – begin a new passion project that makes you smile. When Venus connects with Saturn on the 21st, your love life will feel more solid and hopeful. Connect with the heart to realize your true wants and needs, and this will extend clarity involving your love story and what needs strengthening. The lunar eclipse on the 25th will help you release past unresolved issues while enabling you to experience spiritual renewal. It's a time for healing and letting go of things that cause repression – get ready to level up.

Sagittarius

This month will be a great time to improve your communication skills. Venus and Mars will align with your beliefs, giving you the power to speak confidently and effectively. However, be cautious with your words, especially at work or around others, as the Venus-Uranus square on the 3rd may lead to a confrontation. It's important to think carefully before making any important decisions. On the 9th, Mercury will enter Aries, making you feel confident and articulate in your speech. The new moon on the same day will encourage you to focus on building solid foundations in your personal life. This could mean restructuring your home or planning for your family's future. Later in the month, your passion projects will take root as the Sun connects with Pluto on the 21st. Your ideas will magnify, and you'll have the chance to connect with others who share your vision. Pay attention to signs and synchronicities that come your way, as they may hold clues from the Universe. Towards the end of the month, the lunar eclipse phase on the 25th will prompt you to evaluate your friendships and networks. Let go of any groups or activities that no longer serve your growth, and find your tribe by being true to yourself. Taking chances and speaking about your passions will help your dreams take flight.

Capricorn

Money and status will be the framework for you this month, Capricorn. Venus and Mars, located in your financial sector, will require you to analyze your income and investments. Be mindful of making major purchases from the 3rd to the 9th when Venus and Mars are in challenging positions with Uranus. This transit will entice you to make bold moves, but it will be favorable to review the realistic aspect before leaping. A new wave of inspiration will take root during the new moon on the 10th, igniting the need to open your heart to new experiences involving your skills or locally. It's favorable to learn something new and detail your daily life while figuring out how “present” you are. Later this month, the love planet Venus will conjoin Saturn on the 21st, creating stability in your ideas and allowing you to share your gifts with others. You will be in the limelight and form incredible connections – romantically or professionally. When the lunar eclipse phases into your career zone on the 25th this marks the end of a chapter involving your role. This can manifest as a shift in your position, helping you realize what gifts you wish to utilize moving forward. Remember to implement all you have learned during the month to navigate your course these next few months.

Aquarius

Life will be like a stage for you this month, Aquarius. A group of planets — Venus, Mars, and Pluto — are aligning in your sign, making it the perfect time for you to share your light with others. You should hold on to this confidence, as a moment of doubt could arise between the 3rd and 9th of this month. During this time, Venus, Mars, and Uranus will square each other, which could throw you off balance. This could make you question your self-worth and leave you feeling vulnerable in the face of your family's opinions. In such times, it's important to honor your individuality and pursue what aligns with your happiness, as this will help you make progress. The new moon in Pisces on the 10th will empower you to build on your financial traction, through your self-esteem and earnings. There is a lot of magic in the air for you here, and planting the seed of intention for a business endeavor or project pitch at work will attract the desired results. Dream big because this lunation will be a win for you. On the 21st, expect your ideas and dreams to come alive, as the Sun in Aries powers up Pluto in a supportive sextile. Your wishes will be cultivated. The lunar eclipse on the 25th will conclude a phase in your personal beliefs. It will encourage you to explore the uncharted. This could manifest in many ways, such as travel, different courses of study, or going public with your wisdom.

Pisces

Congratulations, Pisces! Last month was intense, but this month you will achieve closure on your subconscious beliefs. You will revisit and make peace with unresolved issues from your past, as Venus and Mars continue to influence your subconscious realms. From the 3rd to the 9th, Venus, Mars, and Uranus will form a square, which presents an opportunity to recognize and overcome your self-limiting beliefs about the past, and gain mastery over mental conflicts. With patience and compassion for yourself, your perspective will shift when Mercury and Neptune connect in your sign on the 8th, offering you a bigger picture of your place in the world and your experiences. Engaging in consistent spiritual practice will help ground your discoveries. On the 10th, the new moon in your sign will ignite your enthusiasm to reinvent yourself and make a significant impact on society. Share your unique story with those who can benefit, as authenticity is key. When the lunar eclipse occurs on the 25th, your intimate connection with yourself or your partner will undergo a period of reflection. You have the next few months to review your long-term plans and resolve old buried traumas or dependencies while merging resources. You got this!

If you're a Taylor Swift fan, then you probably know about Taylor Swift & Kim Kardashian's history. What started as Kanye West interrupting Taylor's acceptance speech at the 2009 VMAs — a moment that altered the course of pop culture history — spiraled into a very public feud that gave us Reputation and always seems to reappear in a new form. And after the release of The Tortured Poets Department, Swifties think we've got another piece of the puzzle with Taylor's new song "thanK you aIMee."

In true Taylor fashion, the popstar actually hinted at the song in October 2023 when she wore a $24 clip from Anthropologie called the "Aimee" clip! She loves to add all kinds of clues and references within her outfits, and I love that this one is so affordable. Here's everything you need to know. Don't forget to check out Every Pop Culture Reference In Taylor Swift's The Tortured Poets Department.

Is "thanK you aIMee" actually about Taylor Swift & Kim Kardashian?

There is plenty of evidence suggesting "thanK you aIMee" is about Kim Kardashian & Taylor Swift. The first and most obvious is that the title of the song only has three letters capitalized: "KIM." The song talks about "Aimee" (who Taylor admits actually has a different name in real life), a bully figure who beats Taylor's spirit "black and blue."

In the summer of 2016, Kanye West (Kim's husband at the time) released his song "Famous," in which he takes total credit for Taylor's fame following the 2009 VMAs incident. Taylor claimed she never gave him permission to call her a bitch in the song, a video leak from Kim seemed to show the opposite (the video turned out to be edited). At the time, Kim even told GQ that “[Taylor] totally knew that that was coming out. She wanted to all of a sudden act like she didn’t.”

#TaylorSwiftIsOverParty started trending on Twitter, Taylor Swift deleted all social media and stopped doing interviews for three years, then returned with a vengeance on the "Look What You Made Me Do" music video in 2017. The video starts off with a zombie Taylor burying the "nicer" version of herself.

Taylor Swift's "thanK you aIMee" mentions "It wasn't a fair fight or a clean kill // Each time that Aimee stomped across my gravе // And then she wrote hеadlines // In the local paper, laughing at each baby step I'd take." If you ask me, it definitely sounds like a reference to the music video and maybe even Kim's interviews.

Why does "thanK you aIMee" have random capital letters?

Taylor Swift loves hiding clues in her titles, lyrics, and messages. And historically, she's hidden words by using random capital letters. That means "thanK you aIMee" is supposed to draw our eyes to "KIM."

The Lyrics To "thanK you aIMee"

Image via Larry Busacca/Getty Images for NARAS

Verse 1: When I picture my hometown // There's a bronze spray-tanned statue of you // And a plaque underneath it // That threatens to push me down the stairs at our school

Pre-Chorus: And it was always the same searing pain // But I dreamed that, one day, I could say

Chorus: All that time you were throwin' punches, I was buildin' somethin' // And I can't forgive the way you made me feel // Screamed, "F*ck you, Aimee" to the night sky as the blood was gushin' // But I can't forget the way you made me heal

Verse 2: And it wasn't a fair fight or a clean kill // Each time that Aimee stomped across my gravе // And then she wrote hеadlines // In the local paper, laughing at each baby step I'd take

Pre-Chorus: And it was always the same searing pain // But I prayed that, one day, I could say

Image via Christopher Polk/Getty Images

Chorus: All that time you were throwin' punches, I was buildin' somethin' // And I couldn't wait to show you it was real // Screamed, "F*ck you, Aimee" to the night sky as the blood was gushin' // But I can't forget the way you made me heal // Everyone knows that my mother is a saintly woman // But she used to say she wished that you were dead // I pushed each boulder up the hill // Your words are still just ringing in my head, ringing in my head

Verse 3: I wrote a thousand songs that you find uncool // I built a legacy, which you can't undo // But when I count the scars, there's a moment of truth // That there wouldn't be this if there hadn't been you

Bridge: And maybe you've reframed it // And in your mind, you never beat my spirit black and blue // I don't think you've changed much // And so I changed your name and any real defining clues // And one day, your kid comes home singin' // A song that only us two is gonna know is about you, 'cause

Image via Dimitrios Kambouris/Getty Images

Chorus: All that time you were throwin' punches, it was all for nothin' // And our town, it looks so small from way up here // Screamed, "Thank you, Aimee" to the night sky and the stars are stunnin' // 'Cause I can't forget the way you made me heal // Everyone knows that my mother is a saintly woman // But she used to say she wished that you were dead // So I pushed each boulder up that hill // Your words were still just ringin' in my head, ringin' in my head

Outro: Thank you, Aimee // Thank you, Aimee

We know that Taylor just released The Tortured Poets Department, sending the internet (and us) into a frenzy to decipher her lyrics and determine who is the subject of each song (we're looking at you, Matty). But we’re still stuck on her last album, Midnights — and more specifically, "Lavender Haze." While we're still obsessed with that song — especially the acoustic version — we're even more obsessed with the shade of purple itself.

Lavender took over the 2023 spring/summer fashion shows, but lavender’s lighter cousin, lilac, is taking the crown as the costar of the season alongside butter yellow this year. This pastel shade has always been a springtime favorite, and it's honestly the perfect color to add to your wardrobe right now. With that in mind, here are a few on-trend pieces to add to your wardrobe to enjoy this season’s fave color.

Shop The Lilac Color Trend Here!

J.Crew Collection Layered Sequin T-Shirt

This sequined top and matching skirt from J.Crew could be my favorite set I’ve seen this season. The top is a sheer and shimmery short-sleeve with a matching colored camisole underneath. The shirt comes with a shorter liner for a fun and flirty evening look, without showing too much skin. Both pieces come in lilac and are covered in light-reflecting sequins.

Coach Jonie Bag

An easy way to incorporate a new color is through accessories, like shoes, jewelry, or bags. I adore Coach, and I'm always checking their website and socials for their latest drop. I’ve been eyeing this purple Jonie Bag for a while and it might be time to click “order.”

Abercrombie Textured Button-Through Shirt Dress

This loose and airy short-sleeve mini dress from Abercrombie is perfect for hot summer days in the office or running errands. Available in petite, regular, and tall, there’s a length for everyone. Pair with flats and a light jacket or blazer for an easy and cool office look.

GAP Mid Rise Crinkle Gauze Wide-Leg Pants

I practically live in linen pants once the temp hits 70 degrees. This style is a "breathable cotton" and comes in a variety of colors, including lilac. These are effortless and easy to throw on with an elastic waistband. I'd love to see them with a graphic tee and sambas!

Abercrombie Ottoman Slash Top

I’m a huge fan of the Ottoman tops from Abercrombie, and this lilac one is in my shopping cart as we speak. This fitted sweater top is a closet staple and easy to pair with linen trousers and sneakers or a mini skirt and heeled sandals.

Urban Outfitters Bri Double Bow Satin Mini Dress

As someone who is obsessed with bows, this lilac dress with bow straps is too cute. I’ll be wearing this satin mini all summer long.

H&M Open-Back Gathered Top

With a variety of purple, lavender, and lilac shades — and a just bit of yellowy orange — this tie-dye-inspired tank is the perfect going out top for spring and summer. The gathered seams on the side provide a great shape and the open back is perfect for a hot summer night.

Adidas Sambas OG

As someone who is getting bored of plain, white sneakers, I am seriously considering adding a colorful tennis shoe to my (overflowing) closet. Adidas Sambas are everywhere right now, and this purple pair is so cool.

J.Crew Garçon Classic Shirt In Striped Cotton Poplin

This everyday button down shirt is a classic from J.Crew, but the color and print make it feel fresh and new. This top is perfect with white trousers and white sneakers for a cute and casual daytime outfit or with black trousers and pumps for an office-ready look.

Lululemon Varsity High-Rise Pleated Tennis Skirt

Even Lululemon is into lilac. This trendy tennis skirt, which comes in a variety of colors, is now available in lilac. Designed for tennis but also perfect for all your Hot Girl and Wine Walks, this fun and bright skirt will make any workout better.

Banana Republic Ariella Taffeta Midi Dress

Midi dresses are the best for summer — they’re comfortable, easy to throw on, and always look cute. This purple one from Banana Republic is no exception, and would be a perfect pick for your next vacay.
