Taurus
Born between: April 20th - May 20th
Those with the Taurus sign are perfect partners in friendship and love as they're loving, loyal and understanding. However those born under the Taurus sign at times can be stubborn but always are patient and generous.
Go carefully today, because you're so keen to create a good impression that you may be doing or saying things that don't reflect your true self. If you aren't being true to yourself, the people concerned will be very confused when they finally get a glimmer of who you really are. This is particularly likely when you're dealing with people who are older or more powerful than you. Ideal colours are caramel and coffee. Lucky numbers are 27 and 13.
You're viewing life from a very optimistic perspective today and it feels great. What's more, you're ready to try something new, especially if that means taking a chance or accepting a challenge. Right now you're ready for almost anything, particularly if it's connected with education, travel or spirituality. Act quickly, while you're so full of enthusiasm. Expressive colours are lapis lazuli and mandarin. Lucky numbers are 39 and 31.
It may not be your usual style, but you can't help being slightly slipshod and slapdash today. You're much more interested in the big picture than in little details, which could be a problem if that means you overlook something vital. If you're seeing a medical expert today you must be specific about what's wrong, otherwise you could mislead them in some way. Favourable colours are peach and turquoise. Lucky numbers are 40 and 44.
You're feeling things with extra intensity this Wednesday. They've taken on additional meaning, whether that means they've made you extra happy or extra sad. Do your best to maintain an even keel, otherwise you could have a rather difficult day in which you feel tossed about on the stormy seas of emotion. Expressive colours are ruby red and cream. Lucky numbers are 21 and 41.
You're in a very communicative mood, and you'll especially enjoy discussing ideas that have depth. You'll like getting to the heart of the matter and pinpointing your exact emotions, whether you do this in the company of a good friend or you confide your thoughts to your diary. What's important is to acknowledge how you're feeling. Auspicious colours are amethyst and peacock blue. Lucky numbers are 29 and 70.
Look after yourself today Taurus, because you're easily put off your stroke. That might be because you have a nagging feeling that you're on the wrong track or you aren't doing something properly, or it could be because someone is subtly undermining you and making you doubt yourself. This is a day for taking a back seat, provided that you can do so without incurring further problems. Stabilising colours are dark pink and golden honey. Lucky numbers are 40 and 65.
Today's Lunar Eclipse will have a dramatic impact on your relationships during the next two weeks. Although it will bring problems to the surface it will also help you to resolve them, provided that you can stay calm and keep things in their proper perspective. This will also be a good time to take a partnership to a new level of commitment. Inspirational colours are burgundy and passionfruit. Lucky numbers are 40 and 51.
You have a tremendous ability to get your point across today, although you may not realize how very effective you're being. For this reason it's a good idea to underplay things rather than to make a big song and dance about them. You'll have a particular impact when dealing with anyone connected with finance or officialdom. Ideal colours are mango and avocado. Lucky numbers are 23 and 17.
Beware the lure of the biscuit tin or the wine bottle! Yes, it's one of those days when your willpower is non-existent and you'd be tempted to sell your grandmother for the price of a cappuccino and a Danish pastry. If you're supposed to be counting the calories it may be better to give yourself a mini treat than to hold out and then finally cave in with an orgy of gorging. Fortunate colours are cornflower blue and emerald green. Lucky numbers are 15 and 70.
Someone thinks they know what's best for you and they're determined to tell you so. And you're bound to disagree, in addition to feeling annoyed that they've got the presumption to interfere in your life in this way. Try to calm down, otherwise you'll blow the whole incident out of all proportion. It simply isn't worth getting yourself into such a state. Dynamic colours are maroon and ivory. Lucky numbers are 26 and 63.
People are being unpredictable and you don't like it. It's the sort of behaviour that makes you uncomfortable, and you may even tell yourself that they're doing it on purpose to annoy or unsettle you. They aren't, of course, and they may not even realize how much they're upsetting you by chopping and changing their minds every two minutes. Relax and let them get on with it. Favourable colours are saffron and mother of pearl. Lucky numbers are 5 and 76.
You embark on a much more positive and cheerful phase from today, which is a relief if you've been having rather a hard time of it lately. This is your opportunity to concentrate on yourself for a change, especially if that means launching new projects. Taking the initiative will give you a new lease of life and will also fill you with fresh hope for the future. Beneficial colours are amethyst and smoky quartz. Lucky numbers are 20 and 74.
It's awfully difficult to control your temper today. At times you'll feel as though you've been pushed beyond the limits of endurance by certain people, perhaps because they seem to expect you to jump through hoops whenever they so much as raise a finger. Have your say and then shut up. This will be a much more effective response than continually sniping or moaning. Harmonious colours are platinum and apricot. Lucky numbers are 25 and 60.
This is a wonderful day for devoting yourself to the love and care of some of your loved ones. You might be inspired to invite some of the family over for a big Sunday lunch in which you give them a treat by cooking their favourite food. Alternatively, you might enjoy pottering about at home, making a few improvements or dreaming up a redecorating scheme. Ideal colours are ginger and lavender. Lucky numbers are 9 and 16.
There are hidden tensions in the air and they're putting everyone on edge. It's one of those tricky days when people are sending unspoken messages by sulking, slamming doors or being monosyllabic. Should you join in and be equally uncommunicative, or do your best to clear the air and then put the whole thing behind you? Energising colours are mushroom and dark pink. Lucky numbers are 17 and 46.
Are you happy with your appearance or are you getting bored with your current image? Even some small changes, such as buying some new make-up or a flattering pair of shoes, will have a tremendous impact on your morale during the next three weeks. You'll also be even more popular than usual, which will help to put an extra spring in your step. Fortunate colours are persimmon and silver. Lucky numbers are 21 and 13.
It's a good day for looking deep inside yourself at your innermost fears, needs and motives. If you're a classic Taurean you might feel rather silly doing this, perhaps telling yourself that such self- analysis is all a lot of nonsense, but it will turn out to be a very valuable exercise if you're prepared to persist with it. So give it a try! Vibrant colours are bright red and lemon. Lucky numbers are 39 and 60.
Keep your wits about you, especially when dealing with someone in a position of authority or power because they may try to twist you round their little finger without you being aware of what's going on. Be very careful about playing the same sort of game yourself because it will backfire on you sooner or later. Be honest and straightforward, not manipulative or sly. Healing colours are red and gold. Lucky numbers are 38 and 51.
There have been times recently when it's been difficult to say what you mean or make proper contact with others. Well, thank goodness things start to get back to normal again today. However, you may decide that it would be advisable to apologize for some of the things that you've said or done during the past couple of weeks, especially if you still shudder to think of them. Beneficial colours are ivory and ebony. Lucky numbers are 13 and 42.
Welcome the opportunity today to talk about your deepest feelings and needs, especially if you've been having a difficult time over the past few days. Have the courage to open up your heart to someone you trust, whether they're your other half, a long-term friend or an objective third party. A close relationship could also go through a very intense and passionate phase. Favourable colours are navy and brilliant white. Lucky numbers are 23 and 68.
Take care because once again you're in a rather morose and deflated mood. If something goes wrong you'll invest it with more importance than it deserves, perhaps telling yourself that it proves you're unlucky or that no one loves you. You're torn between being sociable and reclusive, but you really prefer your own company. Fortunate colours are peach and aqua. Lucky numbers are 26 and 61.
It's easy to express your feelings today, but if you're secretly attracted to someone who's out of reach or unavailable, you'll have to camouflage your feelings in some way. At some point, you'll love the prospect of relaxing on your own, away from the constant demands of everyday life. Uplifting colours are silvery grey and tan. Lucky numbers are 12 and 34.
It's a rather bleak and lonely day. Maybe you're physically separated from loved ones and you're really feeling the strain, or perhaps there's an emotional gulf between you at the moment. Brooding or feeling sorry for yourself won't help to improve the situation, and if anything will make it seem much worse than it really is. Distract yourself by doing something practical or therapeutic. Auspicious colours are khaki and pale pink. Lucky numbers are 11 and 74.
If you want to keep something a secret, you shouldn't breathe a word about it to a soul today. It will be tempting to drop hints but that could lead to disaster when someone either guesses what you're talking about or persuades you to spill the beans. And it's no good confiding in someone, either, because they may also fail to keep your secret to themselves. Favourable colours are apple blossom and dark gold. Lucky numbers are 10 and 60.
You're interested in charitable, voluntary and humanitarian activities today, especially when you're considering how you can contribute to them. You might decide to donate some money to a favourite charity, or you could be asked to give more practical help by carrying out some good works yourself. Your current kindness and compassion won't go unnoticed. Propitious colours are cream and chocolate brown. Lucky numbers are 31 and 48.
You have a tendency to put people on pedestals today, idolize and revere them. This is especially likely with someone whose achievements you admire and respect, and you won't hear a word against them. There's no harm done if you see them in a more balanced light in a few days' time, but it's not so good if you continue to imagine that they're superhuman in some way. Stabilising colours are russet and apricot. Lucky numbers are 11 and 68.
If you had a really lazy weekend, you'll manage to get yourself back into gear today. Set yourself a few modest goals and get them out of the way first, then look for a bigger target and see if you can achieve that as well. You'll be at your most efficient if you can work at your own pace and, preferably, by yourself. Auspicious colours are champagne and charcoal. Lucky numbers are 12 and 29.
This is another day when you long to do as little as possible. However, it may be difficult to do this with a completely clear conscience because you can't help thinking about all those tasks that are still awaiting your attention. You'll also find it hard to resist any edible temptations that are lying around, such as chocolate or alcohol. Fortunate colours are vanilla and olive. Lucky numbers are 16 and 62.
You're very keen on the idea of relaxing and enjoying yourself today, and you'll try to make that happen even if you've got a stack of work staring you in the face. Ideally, you should get all the chores out of the way before you put your feet up, but that depends on the strength of your willpower and it's definitely looking a bit flimsy! Beneficial colours are ultramarine and dark pink. Lucky numbers are 35 and 72.
Someone has got to keep a firm hold over their conversation otherwise they might say the wrong thing at the wrong time. Whether or not it's an April Fool's joke, it won't go down very well and may even cause a bit of a stir. Resist the temptation to make any facetious remarks yourself because what seems like a good idea at the time could turn out to be more trouble than it's worth. Opportune colours are butterscotch and azure. Lucky numbers are 3 and 74.
