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.
You're raring to go today, especially when it comes to domestic and family matters. You may even start to feel rather impatient if you suspect that certain people aren't moving as fast as you'd like. It's one thing to chivvy them along but don't bully them. If you've been considering buying items to improve your home, have a look at what's on offer but decide whether you can afford them before taking the plunge and buying them. Auspicious colours are silvery green and copper. Lucky numbers are 19 and 42.
Financial matters get back on track today, and not before time as far as you're concerned. Certain people may alter their allegiances, making them more sympathetic towards you. This is a good day for keeping abreast of local news, perhaps by having a chat with a neighbour and catching up on all the latest gossip. Opportune colours are dusky pink and violet. Lucky numbers are 3 and 42.
Maybe it's a reaction to the gloom of the past couple of days, but you're feeling restless and easily bored. Ideally, you should abandon at least part of your usual routine and do something radically different instead. Not only will this make you feel more lively, it will also bring you into contact with fresh ideas and new developments which you might otherwise have missed. Harmonious colours are butterscotch and dark green. Lucky numbers are 21 and 37.
If you've been unable to shrug off yesterday's downbeat mood, then it's time for some serious action. Try not to keep your worries and feelings to yourself because that will only make them seem worse than ever. Instead, discuss them with someone who is willing to listen and give you some constructive advice. This will help you to put everything in its proper perspective. Ideal colours are scarlet and ivory. Lucky numbers are 14 and 21.
You're moping around as though you've got the cares of the world on your shoulders and it's making you feel wretched. Your energy may also have drained away, leaving you feeling like a limp rag. So what's wrong? You need to face up to whatever is bugging you and do something about it, otherwise it will continue to dominate your thoughts and ruin your day. Auspicious colours are blueberry and blackberry. Lucky numbers are 22 and 59.
If something happened yesterday that you have concerns about, do your best to discuss it today. You'll find it easy to put your feelings into words, without making a big song and dance about things or expressing them badly. Remember to keep a light touch because that will prevent the situation getting bogged down. Your sense of humour is your greatest ally right now, so use it. Favourable colours are plum and golden honey. Lucky numbers are 31 and 30.
A certain person is being touchy and tricky, and you need to handle them with care. They're investing everything with too much importance as far as you're concerned, making them liable to moods and huffs. They may also be feeling sidelined emotionally, and therefore determined to reassert themselves in your affections, even though the method they choose is self-defeating. Beneficial colours are platinum and mahogany. Lucky numbers are 8 and 32.
Between now and early August you'll have a strong drive to devote yourself to your home and family whenever you get the chance. There may be a sense of urgency in all this, perhaps because you've set yourself a deadline and you're determined to meet it, or simply because you want to get certain tasks out of the way as soon as possible. So give it all your best shot. Expressive colours are aqua and crimson. Lucky numbers are 27 and 14.
You'll fare best today if you can be flexible, especially when plans change at the last minute and you're compelled to think on your feet. The more you can go with the flow, the easier everything will be and you might even start to enjoy not knowing what's round the corner. You might also come up with some radical or futuristic ideas that are well worth pursuing. Liberating colours are chestnut and teal blue. Lucky numbers are 5 and 49.
During the coming four weeks you'll enjoy getting involved with local issues and neighbourhood concerns. It will be good to feel that you're doing your bit and you'll also enjoy knowing what's going on around you. You may be asked to take the lead in some way or to voice your opinion, so don't be shy about putting forward your ideas. Opportune colours are tan and jade. Lucky numbers are 4 and 57.
Oh dear, a certain person is rather hot under the collar today. They're in the sort of mood where they're likely to bite your head off as soon as you open your mouth, so you'd be wise to give them as wide a berth as possible or to choose your words carefully when you're with them. Try not to respond by being equally bad-tempered or touchy, because that won't help at all. Empowering colours are old gold and royal purple. Lucky numbers are 25 and 41.
This is a glorious day for your love life because you're in such a wonderfully expansive and affectionate mood, and so is that special person. So indulge yourselves when you get together and do something special. Maybe this is the perfect excuse to treat yourselves to a romantic dinner in a restaurant, or to have a private celebration at home. Creative colours are ginger and aubergine. Lucky numbers are 35 and 7.
There's a lot of talk flying around today. The question is whether it's going to achieve anything or whether it will just be an excuse for people to yak away about whatever pops into their heads. Do your best to steer the conversation in sensible directions, and don't be sidetracked by interesting, but unnecessary diversions. Beneficial colours are primrose yellow and burnt orange. Lucky numbers are 20 and 70.
Today's New Moon encourages you to sum up the thoughts and experiences you've had over the past four weeks and to take some constructive action over them.

Uplifting colours are taupe and apricot. Lucky numbers are 29 and 74.
Surround yourself with objects and people that give you pleasure! This doesn't have to cost a fortune, even though you'll be tempted to have fun with your cheque book or credit card.

Lucky numbers are 39 and 69.
So far this month, there've been a couple of instances when certain people have refused to adapt to changes and move with the times; unfortunately, you're faced with another example of this obstinacy today. Even though you might want to scream with frustration, it's no good trying to talk them round because that will make them even more determined to stand their ground. All you can do right now is to respect their decision and leave them to it. Prosperous colours are bright gold and silver. Lucky numbers are 11 and 9.
Efficiency and diligence are your watchwords today, and you want to be as practical and responsible as possible. When you're talking to others be polite, but don't waste time on anything unnecessary.

Lucky numbers are 12 and 33.
Let your imagination flow, particularly when thinking about how to advance your career or make progress with long-term goals. However, you have to tread a fine line between rising to challenges and knowing your own limitations. Strange as it may seem, daydreaming could be very productive now so take note of the ideas that come to you when your mind wanders. Dynamic colours are violet and lavender. Lucky numbers are 38 and 5.
You're silver-tongued and highly communicative today, so make the most of it while it lasts. Use this opportunity to talk to others about whatever is uppermost in your mind at the moment. You'll be able to put across your ideas with tact and consideration. It's also an excellent day for thinking about your priorities in life and perhaps reassessing some of them. Opportune colours are burgundy and pink. Lucky numbers are 23 and 5.
You have to proceed with great care today if you want to avoid stirring up trouble or opposition. It seems that certain people are feeling very threatened by the prospect of change, and as a result are determined to cling to the status quo no matter what the cost. Do your best to avoid behaving in this way yourself because it won't do you any favours. Be more flexible if possible. Favourable colours are lemon and lime. Lucky numbers are 2 and 34.
You're very fond of you-know-who but you can't help wondering what on earth they're talking about today. They're full of bright ideas and high hopes, but most of these seem to have more to do with wishful thinking than reality, as far as you're concerned. Even so, beware of pouring cold water over all their schemes because you never know, they could be on to a winner with some of them. Fortunate colours are blackberry and crimson. Lucky numbers are 4 and 27.
Prepare for some shocks and surprises today! You might have to cope with an unexpected event, or someone makes a suggestion that leaves you open-mouthed with astonishment. It's not a good day for making decisions connected with your finances because your thoughts are all over the place and you might therefore choose an option that turns out to be more trouble than it's worth. Inspirational colours are silvery grey and sable. Lucky numbers are 30 and 49.
It's a fabulous day for talking about matters connected with money and your what you value, because you'll find it easy to put across your views without treading on anyone's toes. What's more, you'll be delighted to discover that everyone seems to be thinking along the same lines and you're in general agreement about what is important right now. Read about today's historic Transit of Venus. Outstanding colours are peacock blue and sunflower yellow. Lucky numbers are 11 and 25.
This is a marvellous day for getting on with the business at hand, whatever that happens to be. You don't want to waste your time on what you see as frivolities, yet you won't want to get bogged down in a lot of serious stuff either. Instead, you want to keep ahead of the game, do your best and be as efficient as possible. All of which you should manage quite easily. Harmonious colours are pistachio and hazelnut. Lucky numbers are 23 and 17.
You're in a chatty mood but you won't want to talk about trivia. Instead, you relish getting your teeth into some serious topics and showing that you know what you're talking about. It's an especially good day for talking to people who are older or more influential than you, and you'll create a very good impression if that's what you want to happen. Lucky colours are ebony and snow white. Lucky numbers are 2 and 35.
During the coming fortnight it's important for you to think deeply about your current financial situation. Go through paperwork, and make sure you know what's happening and what is being done in your name. If you aren't certain about what to do for the best, pick the brains of a financial whizz, such as your bank manager or a clued-up friend. Opportune colours are spring green and mustard yellow. Lucky numbers are 1 and 52.
Your spirits are high and you're feeling great! It's a super day for doing whatever appeals to you, provided it involves plenty of enjoyment and laughter. The thought of struggling through a pile of work is likely to leave you cold, and you'll be tempted to put it off until you're more in the mood. If you can, visit somewhere new now. Expressive colours are antique gold and lilac. Lucky numbers are 25 and 69.
Get involved in financial transactions at your peril today, because certain people will use them as a stick to beat you with. For instance, if you ask someone to lend you money they'll either make you feel guilty about it or dredge up all sorts of past instances when their trust was betrayed. You would also be well advised to avoid any show of possessiveness or jealousy, even if you feel it, unless you truly don't care about the disastrous outcome. Stabilising colours are mother of pearl and silvery pink. Lucky numbers are 38 and 36.
Be careful if you're supposed to be saving money, because it's likely to fly through your fingers in no time at all today. You're open to all sorts of delicious impulses now, such as splashing out your hard- earned cash on little treats or big purchases. Indulgence is the key here, and you'll also want to push the boat out if you're going to a restaurant for a meal. You'll work your way through the menu, regardless of the cost. Expressive colours are violet and pale blue. Lucky numbers are 10 and 77.
Someone is full of talk today and the trouble is that they won't know when to shut up. They ramble on about all sorts of trivial details, not realizing that you have neither the time nor the inclination to listen to them, especially if you've heard it all before. The temptation will be to get impatient or ratty, but is that really necessary? Uplifting colours are azure and pumpkin. Lucky numbers are 32 and 5.
