Today's sky for Taurus

No major planetary events stand out today, so the Moon sets the tone. Days like this tend to be good for steady work and ordinary pleasures, without big turns in either direction.

Retrograde right now: Venus in Scorpio, your 7th house of partners and agreements, Saturn in Aries, your 12th house of rest and solitude, Uranus in Gemini, your 2nd house of money and possessions and Neptune in Aries, your 12th house of rest and solitude. Astrologers read those areas as better for review than for new starts.

About the Taurus horoscope

For Taurus, Gemini is the 2nd house of earnings and belongings, Leo the 4th house of home and family, Virgo the 5th house of fun and romance, Scorpio the 7th house of partnership and Aquarius the 10th house of career. A Virgo Moon tends to lighten the Taurus day, while an Aquarius Moon points your thoughts toward work and how you are seen.

Venus, your ruling planet, deserves a close eye. When Venus forms an exact aspect, Taurus often feels it in comfort, money habits and affection. Venus goes retrograde about every eighteen months for around six weeks, a period astrologers tie to second thoughts about relationships, spending and taste.

As a fixed sign, Taurus also tends to notice slow planets passing through the other fixed signs, Leo, Scorpio and Aquarius, because they square or oppose your Sun from those signs. Your own season, when the Sun is in Taurus, runs from about April 20 to May 20.

Questions

Frequently asked questions

Why does Venus matter so much for Taurus?

Venus rules Taurus, so it is the first planet to look at in a Taurus reading. Aspects to Venus color the themes Taurus cares about: pleasure, security, beauty and steady affection.

What does Venus retrograde mean for Taurus?

Astrologers read it as a review period for whatever Venus rules: relationships, values and what you spend on. For Taurus it can feel more personal than for other signs. It describes a mood, not a verdict on anyone.

Where does the Moon fall for Taurus today?

The reading at the top of this page names the Moon's solar house for today. The Moon never stays in one sign for more than about two and a half days, so the Taurus focus shifts several times a week.

Is a Taurus daily horoscope the same as a Taurus love horoscope?

Not quite. The daily reading covers every area of life, and love enters it when the Moon or Venus is involved in your 5th or 7th house. A full picture of a relationship needs both birth charts.
