Exit the Ram! Today marks the last day of the Sun's monthlong tour through Aries, with all its feisty fire. Aries is the zodiac's first sign, and the Sun's visit to it each year sparks new initiatives, exciting plans and short tempers. You may have come up with dazzling ideas in the past month — but do they have what it takes to go the distance? You'll find out in the month ahead. On Tuesday, the Sun shifts into Taurus, a grounded and practical Earth sign. The cream will rise to the top as you break ideas down into action steps and try to set them into a plan.

Not that life will be all about the ho-hum hard work. Taurus is a sensual sign ruled by romantic Venus, and it sparks our taste for luxury. Expect to move away from the try-anything, trendy Aries taste and into a desire for lasting, sophisticated quality. Taurus rules the five senses and your daily environment. This is a great month to explore new restaurants, listen to new bands, go to concerts and even redecorate with chic home accessories (scented candles, new hand towels for the bathroom, Egyptian cotton sheets).

The one trait Aries and Taurus DO share? Stubbornness. While Aries is hot-tempered, Taurus has more of a slow and steady burn. Continue finding healthy outlets for stress (get outdoors, says this Earth sign) to ensure that you avoid a Bullfight!
