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.
Today you're reasonably light-hearted but it will help you to understand what makes your life fit together as a whole. You want everything to be harmonious, to glide over unpleasant edges, slide around awkward situations and to seek out people you really want to be around. There are moments when you hesitate to voice your opinion, so listen rather than talk and keep your own counsel. Beneficial colours are buttercup yellow and walnut brown. Lucky numbers are 49 and 12.
There's a very lively kind of energy around you now, so make the most of it. You want to know all about yourself and discover more about the world around you. Suddenly you want to push other people away and refuse to be hemmed in any more. Fitting in with what other people want won't sit easily with you now because you want to do your own thing. It's just a question of not being too explosive about the way in which you go about it. Uplifting colours are ebony and peach. Lucky numbers are 11 and 30.
This is definitely a time when you need to be around friends, as you want to be sociable and outgoing and to feel like one of the gang. Team relationships work tremendously well today: why fly solo when there is so much support on offer around you? You're working in a way that will gain you the approval of those in authority. You are not racing around, taking risks or being too boisterous. If anything, you're a little bit understated. Lucky colours are apricot and cream. Lucky numbers are 20 and 27.
This is a good day to be self-protective and retreat into a private place, preferably at home. If you can take the day off and put your feet up, so much the better, but even if you're at work, you need some kind of protective niche. Actually, people will respond well to your presence since you are so warm and outgoing - you just need some time to yourself. Profitable colours are tangerine and scarlet. Lucky numbers are 23 and 19.
No one will hold your attention for long today, but you will throw entertaining titbits their way as you race past. You thrive on interesting, varied conversation though with your grasshopper mind at the moment, you won't concentrate on anything for too long. You have to be clear in your own mind about the message you're trying to convey, as you are rather scattered today. You're spreading yourself a little too thin. Balanced colours are snow white and ruby red. Lucky numbers are 16 and 54.
The thing that will hold you back now is if you fail to grasp new opportunities and just plod along resolutely instead. Be open to expressing yourself as an individual. If you're feeling gloomy at the moment, give yourself a good shake and stop feeling sorry for yourself. Sometimes you have to go deeper to find out what people's motivations really are, or what has led to the situation you are now facing. Knowledge is freedom. Opportune colours are emerald green and peacock blue. Lucky numbers are 43 and 69.
Throw your energy into something that is going to be useful for you. Life feels difficult just now but it's a temporary phase and it is possible to change and transform important aspects of your life. You have the capacity to handle finances well, but try to avoid committing yourself to situations which make you feel trapped. Tread softly and check out all the options before coming to a decision. Buoyant colours are garnet and fuchsia. Lucky numbers are 51 and 22.
The next few weeks turn out to be a more extravagant phase in your life and you will be keen to make more money than usual. A flamboyant lifestyle holds great appeal now and you want to indulge yourself in the short term without thought for the future. Today you yearn for harmony and perfection, especially at home or in family relationships. You want to keep the peace at all costs. Fortuitous colours are silvery green and golden brown. Lucky numbers are 67 and 53.
You will be absolutely in your element in the centre of activities at parties or in games. Your popularity is soaring with loved ones, children and social mates, so there's no sense holding back. Allow yourself to step forward confidently with as much panache as you can muster. You don't want to be around people who are boring and slow-witted or you'll become over-forceful and speak too frankly. Favourable colours are oyster and agate. Lucky numbers are 21 and 52.
There need to find a way of giving to others that also allows you to be at peace with yourself. You will find that you are being called on to help in some way. Venus and Neptune around are a rather charitable combination, but they can also be low energy. So you have to try to be subtly sensible to other people's needs. You want tangible gestures of affection to make you feel appreciated and wanted now, either in cuddles or in presents. Inspirational colours are pale pink and butterscotch. Lucky numbers are 8 and 2.
It's very important that you're not pushed to one side just for the next day or so. Ask for what you need, which is more pampering, indulgence and comforting. The Moon in your own sign is a mothering energy but you want to be on the receiving, not the giving end. The Moon in flowing aspect to Saturn means you can take pleasure from hard work now and there is balance between your feelings and duty. Beneficial colours are sunflower yellow and navy. Lucky numbers are 65 and 57.
Stand back and clear a quiet space for yourself so you can be aware of what is beginning now. The Solar Eclipse could bring an insight into the past or yourself, which gives you the key to how to change the future. Socially, things are really looking up for you and you're extremely upfront; you're not putting on a performance, it's just your natural effervescence spilling over. Intuitive colours are silvery pink and aqua. Lucky numbers are 69 and 3.
You're feeling kind and compassionate towards those in need and you'll pick up subtle, unspoken hints. This makes you caring, but be careful that you don't shoulder everyone else's burdens and don't be dragged into activities that don't interest you very much. The current planetary influences could mean your partner finds you evasive and unrealistic at the moment. Positive colours are slate grey and antique gold. Lucky numbers are 40 and 71.
You're on an adrenaline rush today and want to pack as much into your schedule as possible. If you go with the flow you can motivate and encourage companions to join in. They'll appreciate the freshness of your approach and your unique way of seeing things. Be careful not to be too sensitive and interpret as criticism things that others say which were never meant to hurt. Don't over-react. Lucky colours are silvery grey and copper. Lucky numbers are 13 and 50.
The good things of life are all important to your sense of well-being, but being too materialistic could slow down your progress. Your feelings are less than light-hearted now, Taurus. Are you trying too hard to stay in control, wary of being pushed around by authority figures? There seems to be a situation in your life where you feel trapped. If you are tempted to act secretly to avoid confrontations, it may not be very wise. Suitable colours are toffee and rhodium. Lucky numbers are 73 and 60.
Bulls are cool and in control, but it's not a good idea to make up your mind instantly about one plan until you've had a chance to discuss it with everyone. Too much advice can be confusing, but not enough input and you may reach the wrong decisions. Listen carefully, sift and sort the ideas you have been given, and then you'll know exactly what is going to be workable. Realistic colours are cranberry and amethyst. Lucky numbers are 55 and 29.
It's the kind of day when you can say what you feel about other people and you can put them at their ease, so you end up very popular and much appreciated. You have a taste what is fine and elegant, so if your extravagances look like outrunning your budget then turn your creative skills to earning more money. All it takes is imagination and effort. Effective colours are pumpkin and shell pink. Lucky numbers are 67 and 69.
You are not as active as you normally would be today, so avoid confrontation. Neptune brings beauty, glamour, harmony, so you have natural charm. Maybe you are slightly disappointed that your efforts at work are not meeting with more acclaim and recognition, but to be truthful you are rather low in energy or motivation and not pushing as hard as usual. Bulls on the prowl will find ecstatic success tonight. Transformative colours are raw sugar and red tartan. Lucky numbers are 71 and 23.
You feel more restless than usual and want to keep on the move, visiting as many friends as possible. You have the ability to put your ideas across clearly, but your tongue could be very sharp so think before you speak. Your agile, restless mind is coming up with original inspirations, but you can't always follow them through. Are you trying to juggle too many balls in the air at once? Radiant colours are oyster and claret. Lucky numbers are 66 and 31.
Put your foot down and be forceful, Taurus. No one is going to divert you from your intentions. You are happier in your own company than usual and overwhelmed if there are too many people around. Highly sensitive to atmosphere, you soak in the emotional undercurrents like a sponge. Avoid friends who are gloomy or you might end up the same way. Resourceful colours are pistachio and heather. Lucky numbers are 21 and 76.
Maybe you are resentful about old obligations because they remind you of the influence which others hold over you. Remember that you cannot be an island unto yourself. There will always be ties, promises and agreements which have to be honoured. Keep your feelings to yourself right now, but try not to be too controlling or uptight. Buoyant colours are malachite and golden rod. Lucky numbers are 3 and 19.
A long-running emotional relationship feels a bit shaky. If you are hanging on for security, then things do sometimes feel a little bit insecure. On the other hand, it opens you up and lets a blast of fresh air blow through. You are irresistibly attracted to the beautiful, luxurious and expensive things of life. Nothing cheap, cheerful or practical will really appeal to you. Relaxing colours are beryl and bloodstone. Lucky numbers are 64 and 41.
You do want more beautiful things around you at the moment. Are you trying to compensate for a lack you feel elsewhere? Don't muddle love and money and assume if you are not being given lavish presents that you are not really valued. Uranus, planet of sudden change and inspiration, is in your house of friendships and future plans for some time, so join hands with like-minded people. Alluring colours are rye bread and kiwi fruit. Lucky numbers are 10 and 22.
In your closest relationships, both at work and at home, you are clutching more than usual, hanging on to partners. Don't get jealous and possessive if they aren't exactly fitting in with what you want, just get in step with them. Your self-confidence and social charm are more evident, so flirt, have fun and aim for leisure, pleasure and entertainment. Lively colours are pepper and cream. Lucky numbers are 35 and 8.
You feel ready to tackle almost anything, so it is a good time for dealing with authority figures. Just keep in mind that sounding too uppity will not be the best approach. Stop and reflect before volunteering for new projects. Having solid results to show for your efforts is always important so don't be shy about stating your worth. Keep a close hand on the purse strings, or you'll soon be out of pocket. Celebratory colours are dark grape and scarlet. Lucky numbers are 3 and 48.
With the Full Moon blazing in your sixth house, emotions are tied up with your working situation and with your health. If you're feeling emotionally edgy, watch that your body doesn't weaken. Make sure you're eating well, relaxing, exercising. Use your will power now to tackle practical matters. A new exercise regime will feel more virtuous, and it will probably bring you more energy. Ideal colours are chrysolite and mauve. Lucky numbers are 61 and 36.
You will be very sensitive to the undercurrents, so avoid jarring companions. You do want to be more helpful and charitable at work and in your community activities, but you may go about it in a rather unrealistic way. But it's certainly true that if you aim for the general good, or work in more creative ways, you'll reap the rewards of your efforts. Communicative colours are blue and scarlet. Lucky numbers are 66 and 50.
Taurus puts a high value on loyalty, stability and physical closeness. Today you want more hugs, caresses, kisses and tangible gestures of affection than usual. Don't let insecurity make you too possessive or stubborn, just be affectionate and steadfast. You are grappling with fundamental questions and confidential financial and emotional issues. It's not easy to compromise or co-operate. Footnote colours are spearmint and saffron. Lucky numbers are 61 and 56.
With the lively Moon in glorious Leo, you are basking in the limelight. It's not a day for keeping your feelings to yourself, so go flirt, have fun and play games with loved ones, children or social buddies. Forget routine chores, as restless Uranus urges you to be dancing in all directions at once. Sudden events at home will keep you on your toes and rather edgy. Fortunate colours are brass and sultana. Lucky numbers are 37 and 28.
You will be a real chatterbox today, Taurus, lively and enthusiastic, determined to get your ideas and opinions across to everyone in sight. Your mind is racing ahead of you, leaping from subject to subject at computer speed, so slower-witted companions may have problems keeping up. You have a bright, curious turn of mind as well as an active tongue. Buoyant colours are saffron and bright flame. Lucky numbers are 75 and 40.
