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 could mark a necessary ending for something in your life that is no longer serving you. It seems as though you are using this Full Moon to spiritually detox from what you haven't wanted to face. Now that which you've avoided is engulfing you and changing you, leaving you naked and ready for the process of renewal. Read more about the Blue Moon! Beneficial colours are olive and parchment. Lucky numbers are 10 and 15.
There has been a career issue or a problem with an authority figure that you've been fooled about recently; refusing to see the situation with truth. Today, a stinging reality check burdens you and you may have to prepare yourself for some disappointment on this one. Auspicious colours are magenta and gunmetal grey. Lucky numbers are 24 and 67.
Today Mercury begins an extended tour of your 3rd house of communication, siblings and short trips. Expect to hear news from a sibling about something pertaining to the family dynamic. Your mind is functioning at an intellectual level today and yet most of your attention seems caught up in intellectualising the past, rather than looking towards the future. Harmonious colours are apricot and chocolate. Lucky numbers are 38 and 33.
Today you are quickwitted and think rationally, Taurus. Your feelings are clear about a work situation. There's nothing to bog down your decision making and you don't second guess yourself. The result is a workday where you feel truly indispensable and your co-workers rely on your basic common sense. Uplifting colours are teal blue and rose quartz. Lucky numbers are 22 and 51.
A negotiation or potential financial deal is highlighted today. Expect plenty of hushed voices and subversive communication regarding a financial matter. While you're trying to get a straight answer from anyone, they are all busy covering up something regarding this. You will feel suspicious and question their motives. Propitious colours are rose quartz and amethyst. Lucky numbers are 6 and 4.
You will be adored, appreciated and valued today for the help you provide someone else. Although you may be temped to hide away and conserve your energy, if you channel your emotions into serving someone else you will feel supercharged by the end of the day. Remember, a powerful soul always yields more physical power. Communicative colours are taupe and amber. Lucky numbers are 10 and 54.
If you present an idea or speak to a group of people or organization you'll be well received today. The potential problem to be aware of is that you may come across as overly passionate and insistent in your ideas and perspective, so that your audience will see you as rather controlling. Still, the thoughts you have are going to have a positive impact in the end. Ideal colours are ebony and lavender. Lucky numbers are 1 and 2.
You may be overly optimistic that someone else will value your creative efforts as much as you do. What you expected in terms of reward can be disappointing and career matters will need serious reflection. There's an element of confusion and a loss of focus is possible if you allow doubt to overtake you. It will help to refocus and clarify plans to execute your inspiration. Ideal colours are burgundy and turquoise. Lucky numbers are 25 and 49.
A child or lover puts a strain on you, making it feel nearly impossible to express yourself. You're torn between what you want and what you need from a situation and a conflict between your heart and your mind is possible. You may find it especially difficult to make others see your perspective. Fortunate colours are peach and avocado. Lucky numbers are 17 and 18.
You may receive news today about a possible windfall, inheritance or loan. A family member may lend you money or you could simply receive a gift. You are idealistic and positive about this, but you are fortunate to have a healthy dose of realism to help keep your feet on the ground. You know other people's resources will only take you so far. Powerful colours are primrose and dark purple. Lucky numbers are 26 and 30.
You'll receive positive news today concerning finances as the Sun enters Gemini and lights up your money situation as well as your talents, abilities and values. This is quite a favourable day to make any type of real estate transaction including signing contracts or negotiating a business deal. Property or your domestic life is highlighted so if you're not in the process of buying or selling real estate, you may be negotiating to have some work done on your current home. Fortunate colours are mother of pearl and chocolate. Lucky numbers are 40 and 35.
Communicating your deepest emotions to a friend can provide the energy you need to heal your soul. You'll feel a renewed sense of hope as you go after a dream that requires you to break out of your comfort zone to achieve. The problem you have is in believing in your ability to accomplish the goal. Allow a friend to set your attitude straight and get back on track! Beneficial colours are fuchsia and almond. Lucky numbers are 11 and 21.
All the anger and hurt you've been holding inside you recently concerning a troublesome family situation explodes like a volcano today. You've finally reached your limit with what you're willing to take! Remember to direct this anger at the person you are truly angry with, instead of some poor innocent bystander. Don't be the bull in the china shop. Empowering colours are yellow rose and red coral. Lucky numbers are 3 and 22.
Sometimes dear Taurus, you are a little too concerned with the material for your own good. If you could only have more faith in knowing your needs will be provided for, you wouldn't have power struggles like this over your resources competing with others. You may be unduly concerned today that someone is trying to take away your money and go to extreme measures to prevent it. Of course, there may be some truth to this, but in general you are likely to be overreacting. Positive colours are emerald and mango. Lucky numbers are 12 and 23.
Your powers of communication make you particularly marketable these days! The public will appreciate your talent for speech and writing and teaching today and you may have a nice talk with a sibling that boosts your self esteem. Self-worth is a lifelong lesson for you and today you consider deeply your feelings about where you are on the self-worth scale. Beneficial colours are plum and chocolate. Lucky numbers are 2 and 21.
Today there is a New Moon in your sign and although you may not be feeling the energy of initiative at the moment, you will certainly feel the energy of new opportunities coming your way. It's a new beginning you get once a year to re-invent yourself and your life path. Values are clarified and self worth is renewed. Money matters come into play strongly and you will likely have new opportunities for earning income. Favourable colours are silvery white and reddish brown. Lucky numbers are 1 and 3.
Today Mars moves into your 12th house of the unconscious and all that is hidden for the next six weeks. This marks a critical slowing down of your energy expenditure, because you are making an internal preparation for Mars to enter your sign at the end of June. This is when you will move mountains! For now, you must rely on your inner strength and powers of resilience to get you through. Quiet courage and fortitude are your greatest assets. Bold colours are auburn and jade. Lucky numbers are 12 and 42.
The Moon in your twelfth house of secrets makes you want to withdraw. The temptation is to leave the important decisions to others, but this is not wise, as the way to disintegration lies in failure to keep hold of the reins. The general feeling of the day is fortunate, but mainly for you in terms of home and property plans and in terms of joint ventures and financial affairs. You'll need to maintain the drive in coming weeks, if you want to gain maximum benefit. Energising colours are coppery red and amethyst. Lucky numbers are 4 and 8.
The second Sunday in May is Mothers Day in many countries of the world. It is the ideal day to get in touch with your mother and to honour the feminine in our daily lives. Messages are flying right and left, but with the Moon entering Aries, you'll be inclined to keep a low profile, as some family hiccups could arise. Financial matters may be at the heart of this, especially if family property or an inheritance is involved. Maintain the peace and do not allow yourself to be overcome with anger and passion, as this will only foment trouble. Read more on Mothers Day! Beneficial colours are red coral and turquoise. Lucky numbers are 8 and 11.
It's a marvellous day for frolicking Bulls, especially if you are planning to gather with friendly members of the herd. Surprising benefits are likely to emerge, though if you are partying, use caution, as the atmosphere gets decidedly twitchy later. Moral fibre will be tested, as certain characters lay out their power trips. Auspicious colours are bloodstone and coral. Lucky numbers are 1 and 3.
People will be difficult to pin down today, but with Mercury in Gemini over the next few weeks, the majority of paper work, writing, meetings and discussions will involve finances. Transacting business, increasing income, conserving monetary assets, monitoring expenditures, and comparison shopping should be on your agenda. Circumstances may require you to discuss, or perhaps reassess your priorities and values. Beneficial colours are emerald and golden topaz. Lucky numbers are 2 and 3.
It's a busy, rather frustrating day. You can expect a fair amount of shtick in the career environment, which is likely to clash with commitments at home. The boss is guaranteed to see things differently to how you want him to. It's a wonder such people fail to recognise your amazingly creative ideas. Hold off till Friday, which is better for communication. Constructive colours are emerald and burgundy. Lucky numbers are 1 and 10.
Your ideas can be put into action, at last, Taurus. Be sure to take physical action to achieve your goals. There could be a lot of running around locally, or the phone will keep you busy. Emotional issues are best kept on the back burner, especially if connected with women. Your career is stimulated and your brain is working overtime, so the best bet is head down, tail up. Lively colours are pale violet and warm peach. Lucky numbers are 1 and 3.
Bright ideas and clever notions fill the air today, Taurus. Friends are fluttering and flattery, charm, and a sense of humour on your part can be most persuasive. This month, as Venus enters Cancer, sees pleasant relations with neighbours and regular folks. It is also the right time to mend bridges. Increase communication or improve relationships with brothers, sisters, cousins, and in-laws. Your energy is high and some of your best social opportunities are right on your doorstep. Communicative colours are rosy red and coppery tones. Lucky numbers are 3 and 11.
It's a fabulous start to the week for you, Taurus. Unusual dreams last night may have disturbed your slumbers, but as daylight comes, you throw off the grumps and take command of the troops again. Excellent news from afar is en route to you, as the Sun and Moon form a truly memorable partnership. You'll pick up some valuable information if you keep your ear to the ground. Advantageous colours are emerald and russet. Lucky numbers are 1 and 9.
Venus your life-ruler is the queen of hearts, but today she is under pressure from the mystic Moon and from dark Pluto. Financial matters present obstacles, but nothing to fill you with gloom, as the stately dance between Jupiter, Lord of Fortune and Saturn, whose role is to structure and purify, reaches a beautiful climax. This promises benefit over time in matters you have been working on connected with home, real estate, family and shared investments. It also opens the door to the understanding of some of life's mysteries. Resist romantic entanglements. Auspicious colours are blue sapphire and nutmeg. Lucky numbers are 4 and 8.
If you find yourself at loggerheads with a jumped up so-and-so, blame it on the planets. It's nevertheless a promising day for ideas, and some good ones should pop right out of the blue. If you are feeling poetic, or artistic, creativity should sparkle. Social life tonight may not be what you expected, as friends and family will not see eye to eye. Advantageous colours are lemon yellow and shimmering green. Lucky numbers are 1 and 11.
If your emotions are still a bit thrown by the power of the recent Full Moon, it's time to smooth out the wrinkles and get down to business. Put the upsets behind you and concentrate on making the most of the financial issues that are likely to emerge. Some obstructions are in the air, as others attempt to assert control, but the general thrust is favourable and long term plans, especially connected with property, mines or serious investments can be favourably structured. Advantageous colours are old gold and amethyst. Lucky numbers are 8 and 4.
Magical Mercury prompts you to express yourself in positive terms. Travel and communications are linked to your personal goals, but don't let your ego run away with you. You identify with ideas that reflect your own thoughts or that provide a more aggressive, more dramatic forum for self-expression. Your imagination is firing, but you can also take the ideas of others and add your input to create something entirely different and unique. Stay focused and keep partners informed. Advantageous colours are pale violet and mixed stripes. Lucky numbers are 1 and 2.
This is your very own Full Moon, as the Moon is in Scorpio, with the Sun in Taurus. The May Moon (Wesak) marks the major spiritual time for Buddhists the world over. Named for the legendary convergence of Buddha, Christ and other Masters in a Himalayan valley, Wesak gives a powerful spiritual energy at an esoteric level. It is a favourable period, but you may still experience some tension with your partner or spouse. You may be torn between conflicting values, or attractions. Decisions you make now will have long term consequences. Auspicious colours are red coral and amethyst. Lucky numbers are 1 and 7.
As the misty Moon moves into Scorpio, you can be a master of disguise and get away with it. At least for the time being. For theatrical, artistic, and even spiritual purposes you can be very inspiring. It's just the day to create a more glamorous image, to dance and sing, to make glorious love. However, don't be deceived by the glamour and allure of others who might have their own agenda. Read more on May Day. Alluring colours are rich bronze and shimmering green. Lucky numbers are 16 and 22.
