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.
If you need a shoulder to cry on, a close friend will be happy to provide one, even if you just need to get things off your chest. If you are in the mood to reveal a secret about yourself, be sure that the one you confide in is trustworthy. Of course, if a friend takes you into their confidence, make very sure the information remains confidential. I'm sure you will, as Bulls are not noted for gossip-mongering. Fortunate colours are marigold and purple sage. Lucky numbers are 21 and 29.
Everything grinds to a halt as Mercury turns retrograde in your twelfth house today. Take a few deep breaths and try not to get frustrated; the next three weeks may find you struggling to express yourself. At least you will have plenty of time to formulate just exactly what it is you want to say! Be patient with your loved ones and with government departments, institutions, hospitals and the like, as they cannot read your mind. Read more on Mercury retrograde! Beneficial colours are lavender and silver. Lucky numbers are 11 and 12.
Venus today is well-favoured, travelling through sweet Pisces while the Moon is in Aquarius, your mid-heaven. Pisces is your house of hopes and wishes and Aquarius is your house of career and public image, so some personal healing can come your way, perhaps by bringing issues out into the open and resolving them. Membership and participation in organizations could see benefit, as some good luck is indicated, perhaps through a friend, or an influential woman. Fortunate colours are cobalt blue and sterling silver. Lucky numbers are 10 and 11.
A friend could become a lover or conversely, you may decide that your lover would make a better friend: either way, romance is a bit topsy turvy today. If you are feeling flirtatious at the office, beware -- things might just get out of hand. If you go out with colleagues after work this evening, keep your alcohol consumption low and you're more likely to keep your head. Fortunate colours are blue sapphire and avocado. Lucky numbers are 6 and 12.
Romance is definitely on the cards and Taureans who are single could fall heavily indeed. In fact, you may see a platonic friend in a whole new light. If you are partnered, tonight is perfect for an intimate dinner. Get a babysitter if you have to -- it will be worth it. Why not try a scented bath together, with rose petals and candles? Sensual colours are rose red and moonlight blue. Lucky numbers are 11 and 18.
You need others to accept your ideas and information, but don't get obsessed with information or using it as a weapon to manipulate or gain some sort of control. If you are flying, double check your flight number and departure time as the current movement of certain planets could see travel plans cancelled or changed. If you are going to book a holiday or business trip, try to avoid doing so today. Things are looking up somewhat tomorrow. A fabulous romance is in the stars for eligible Bulls tonight, if you can stay up long enough! Fortunate colours are yellow and sea green. Lucky numbers are 10 and 11.
It's very nostalgic today and there could even be a blast from the past. When you're in a good mood you want everyone else to be too, but this is not always possible. Just enjoy yourself, go with the flow and stop worrying about everyone else for a change. If you are able to spend time with your family, today will be extremely pleasant. Why not arrange a quiet family dinner tonight where you can all sit down and talk? Ideal colours are green tourmaline and rose quartz. Lucky numbers are 10 and 37.
Bulls are inclined to keep a low profile at the moment, but whatever you are up to behind the scenes is likely to pay off. Connections with educational or medical institutions, government departments and big players in the corporate world (such as banks) are well favoured today, but be wary of being led down the garden path by false hopes or false promises. This said, the obstacles are temporary; you will overcome them through your trademark determination. Auspicious colours are cherry red and silver. Lucky numbers are 8 and 21.
Venus is under pressure from the Scorpio Moon, so problems or lack of co-operation connected with household tasks, family-related activities, or social events arise, particularly when such events involve entertaining at home. The green-eyed monster of jealousy rears its ugly head, especially towards those excruciating characters who may appear to be more attractive or possess more in the way of material wealth or status. Of course, you may be the one to arouse such snakey feelings in others. Beneficial colours are sage green and dark grape. Lucky numbers are 12 and 44.
You really need some time to yourself today. Don't feel guilty: everyone needs some time alone and you can't look after everyone else if you don't look after yourself first. Meditation or prayer will be especially beneficial to you now, but if you do want to be near others, seek out people that you feel most comfortable with and with whom you can really be yourself. Favourable colours are pale pink and aubergine. Lucky numbers are 7 and 12.
It's the Equinox, when the Sun slides into your twelfth house of secrets and behind-the-scenes activities. It marks the start of a new astrological year, and activates the Grand Cross which has been stressing us all out for weeks. But this is one of those days when someone close will need a sympathetic ear and want to get things off their chest. Even though it's another busy day for you, try to make the time to listen. Team sports and social outings this evening will be enjoyable, even if you are feeling blue. Positive colours are tangerine and beige. Lucky numbers are 10 and 12.
You need to be more flexible in your attitude towards others, especially colleagues or employees, as it is shaping up to be a difficult day. Plans could be changed at the last minute and mistakes are on the cards, so take special care. Someone you haven't seen for a while could pop up out of the blue, so make sure you're looking your best! Beneficial colours are blue sapphire and coppery tan. Lucky numbers are 6 and 10.
As the Super Moon blooms in your fifth house of romance and children, some problems in a close relationship are about to come to a head. By discussing the matter in a calm, rational manner you can find out what the fundamental problems are, not just what you perceive them to be. Avoid being a drama queen and you'll make some real headway under this rare and beautiful perigee Moon. Single Bulls should get out and party, as romance is definitely in the air. Romantic colours are jade and amethyst. Lucky numbers are 5 and 11.
A friend will be more than willing to help you today if you're prepared to listen to advice. You know there are some unpleasant truths you have been avoiding about yourself that need to be faced -- and this person might help you open up if you are prepared to be totally honest with yourself. Work communications may bog down if someone is holding something back. You may be forced to work it out for yourself. Favourable colours are cobalt and lime. Lucky numbers are 6 and 24.
Don't run yourself or your talents down, but be objective about your own achievements and those of other people. Remember that you've got a sense of humour as well as a sense of what's wrong with life. If you want to break through one communication barrier now you will have to persuade family members to listen respectfully to what you have to say. Prepare the ground in advance by softening them up. Stop nit picking and enjoy more. Positive colours are lavender and silver. Lucky numbers are 4 and 5.
Messages you receive at this time may be very subtle, or contain hidden meanings meant only for you. Follow your intuition, get in touch with your subconscious, and pay closer attention to your dreams. Gains may be hidden, but are nevertheless substantial, and could be surprising. Keep a positive attitude, despite the odds. Subtle colours are azure blue and purple sage. Lucky numbers are 12 and 11.
The homeloving Moon takes you an a trip down memory lane today, Taurus. Why not revisit the places of your childhood, even it it's just in your head? This is a good time to organise photo albums and clean out cupboards. If you are in a philanthropic mood, there are plenty of clothes and knicknacks you can donate to charity if you have a good look. Your family and friends will appreciate your love. Favourable colours are marigold and emerald. Lucky numbers are 3 and 4.
Today does not favour communication, so don't make a will or undertake a contract if you can avoid it. There could be conflict between the needs of your family and your work responsibilities now. You are prepared to work twenty-four seven for your family if that's what it takes, but they would probably much rather that you spent more time with them, than have the money and material things all your hard work brings in. It's a dilemma! Beneficial colours are aquamarine and deep purple. Lucky numbers are 9 and 10.
Avoid hanging out with gossips today or you could find it backfiring in a nasty way. Keep your plans to yourself, as there is someone lurking in the wings who could try and sabotage them. Romance and finances are looking quite healthy at the moment, but your career or job is still the main focus this month. Positive colours are sunshine yellow and silvery grey. Lucky numbers are 3 and 21.
Uranus steps into your twelfth house today for a long and sobering stay, urging you to break from the burdens of the past. Things you have deliberately hidden may suddenly have to be confronted. Other hidden issues must also be confronted, including subconscious resentments, secret fears, childhood conditioning, past failures, and disappointments. Try to see others objectively; that way you won't be let down so often. Everyone has good and bad points: often people don't know what they've done wrong when you turn away from them. More on Uranus in Aries. Empowering colours are cream and apricot. Lucky numbers are 12 and 10.
Boasters and braggers really get on your goat today, Taurus. Grit your teeth and grin, and don't be tempted to tell them what you think of them! If you are the one who is doing all the bragging, especially about money, that will have the same effect on others. If so, don't be surprised if there is a mass exodus of folks around you. Some bright ideas are in the wind, so keep on the right side of your friends. Positive colours are fiery red and ebony. Lucky numbers are 2 and 11.
The last thing on your mind with the Moon in your sign is work, but do your best to look busy when the boss walks past! It's magnetic and fortunate today, so make the effort to stay focused and on track. The rewards are there. A brisk walk in the park at lunchtime will get the blood flowing and a workout in the gym after work will help to clear the cobwebs. Fortunate colours are lilac and carmine. Lucky numbers are 10 and 37.
Responsibilities are the last thing on your mind today with the Moon in your sign, and you'll most likely have a case of itchy feet. If you can't get away and leave everything behind for the day, try some exotic new food for dinner or rent a foreign movie. A stick in the mud could ruin your day, but only if you let them. Taureans are normally very reliable, but with communicative Mercury in your house of secrets, you are drawn to the unpredictable. Don't blow a confidence, no matter how intriguing. Favourable colours are rose pink and silver. Lucky numbers are 1 and 12.
Today is pretty laid back with the potential of some minor trouble with gossipy types. However, tonight is tailor-made for socialising and networking as the Moon enters your sign. You'll be feeling rather gregarious. Why not let your hair down and relax? You've been working hard and deserve a break; there's plenty of time to catch up on the chores tomorrow. Go ahead. Invite some friends over to share a pleasant meal. Fortunate colours are shell pink and aqua. Lucky numbers are 15 and 66.
The energy is edgy for the Bull, who may be feeling just a bit blue. Pressure at work may see the knives come out, as envious types who have been concealing their hostility are likely to challenge your authority. It's hard to get enthusiastic, as what you really need is rest and the chance to rebuild your mental image. Propitious colours are blue sapphire and warm brown. Lucky numbers are 11 and 16.
The Moon is in aspect to both Saturn and Pluto so you will have a great deal of tenacity. But that stubbornness will not always work in your favour. Try not to be too much a loner, or obsessive in your outlook. Be less resistant to change. Take a day out from battling with work and home problems. Give yourself a treat. Allow yourself the better things of life - good food, drink, pleasant surroundings -- and rather sensuous clothes. Sensuous colours are apricot and rose. Lucky numbers are 12 and 17.
You'll be on a roll for the next few weeks with lovely Venus shining in your mid-heaven. The word 'can't' just won't be a part of your vocabulary. There are generally two sorts of Taureans: those who like to keep their feet on the ground and those who like to fly. Even if you are the former, you might surprise yourself and others. Take the bull by the horns! Excellent colours are turquoise and reddish gold. Lucky numbers are 17 and 55.
Today's New Moon in sociable Pisces presents an excellent time to start a new project, particularly a hobby; you can use your innate creativity in weeks ahead and really go to town. You may even find that this could be lucrative in time, particularly if you utilise your own special talent. Of course, you may have to try several different things until you find out exactly what that is. Creative colours are ginger and azure. Lucky numbers are 11 and 29.
Everybody is feeling very talkative and sociable today, Bulls. How annoying! Don't they see you have things to do? It's a great time to catch up with old friends or a relative you've been out of touch with if you can manage it. This is a good month for you career wise, but you need to pay attention to your health. Advantageous colours are magenta and sunflower. Lucky numbers are 19 and 11.
The spotlight shines on you this month and authority figures will be more than willing to help you if you aren't too proud to ask for assistance. Taureans are noted for their charm and beauty and you'll have others in the palm of your hand, so make the most of it. Fortunate colours are cornflower blue and pewter. Lucky numbers are 16 and 49.
The sensitive Moon meets sensual Venus in the early hours, bringing good fortune and a surfeit of pleasure, just before the Moon activates your tenth house of career and reputation. You may be under pressure to perform like a super hero, as you are considered one of the most capable on your team. Of course this is flattering, but even the stalwart Bull needs assistance at times. Keep a slow and steady pace and do not let the expectations of others rattle you. Fortunate colours are basic black and heather grey. Lucky numbers are 8 and 10.
