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.
A loved one is unpredictable and eccentric. There's little you can do about it other than to let them get on with it. If you've arranged a social event, be prepared for some last-minute snags or changes of plan and try to go with the flow. There's also the possibility that you might be strongly attracted to someone who isn't your usual type at all, but who really gets you going. What's going on? Lucky colours are mushroom and maroon. Lucky numbers are 21 and 35.
If you're out shopping today it will be very difficult to restrain yourself if you see something nice. You'll want to buy it and will struggle to resist the temptation. Can you afford it, or won't that make any difference if you want it? You could also be seized with the inspiration to do some decorating at home or to buy lots of food for a special meal. Indulgent colours are chestnut and golden topaz. Lucky numbers are 17 and 50.
Someone's in a very defensive mood, making them edgy and tense. Unfortunately you may be experiencing something similar, making you liable to bite someone's head off at the slightest opportunity. If you give into this feeling, you'll soon have a full-scale row on your hands, even if it's about something trivial and silly. So try to keep your sense of humour and don't allow yourself to get too rattled or huffy. Positive colours are mauve and green. Lucky numbers are 17 and 11.
It's a Taurus Moon, so your levels of energy start to increase. You'll enjoy this happy state of affairs throughout the rest of the year. You'll feel renewed initiative and impetus, and may even want to revive projects that you thought had fallen by the wayside forever. It's a fabulous opportunity to take more exercise because that will help to burn off any excess nervous energy. Exciting colours are viridian and mixed shades. Lucky numbers are 3 and 10.
You're very wrapped up in home and family at the moment, but today you're feeling rather anxious about them. You might be worried about the welfare of a loved one, or there could be difficulties about your home. Don't exaggerate the problem, because that will only upset you and stop you taking constructive action. Think things through and keep calm. Beneficial colours are salmon and white. Lucky numbers are 14 and 28.
You'll really enjoy a trip down memory lane today, or anything else that puts you in a nostalgic and sentimental mood. Why not look through some old keepsakes, or sort out your photograph albums? It's also a great day for staying at home and relaxing in front of the television or lazing in the garden. Propitious colours are mauve and vermilion. Lucky numbers are 8 and 17.
It's maggoty Monday and you could do with a change of routine. You'll soon get bored if you're expected to do the same old things as usual, so try to vary your schedule in some way. You don't have to do anything drastic, but you'll certainly enjoy being spontaneous now and then. Expect a surprising contact from an old friend or neighbour. Advantageous colours are brown and ginger. Lucky numbers are 38 and 11.
There's no knowing what a friend will do or say today. Someone is behaving very oddly and erratically, and you may find it difficult to cope with this for long. You may also suspect that they're going out of their way to be shocking or controversial, in which case your shocked reaction will actually encourage them to be even more outrageous. Strong colours are teal and sienna. Lucky numbers are 24 and 44.
Take care because there could be some communication glitches between you and loved ones during the next three weeks. It's nothing to worry about, but you should be aware of the possibility of crossed wires and confusion. If you're in the middle of buying or selling property, be sure to read the small print very carefully, and preferably get someone else to check it as well. This isn't a good time to take chances or trust to luck. Stable colours are mahogany and honey. Lucky numbers are 28 and 30.
During the next four weeks you'll feel a strong yearning to be with people you know well. You won't feel nearly as comfortable whenever you're with strangers, and may even make excuses not to meet them at the moment because you simply don't feel up to it. This will also be a great time to devote yourself wholeheartedly to close friends and family, and to revel in their company. Bright colours are maroon and strawberry. Lucky numbers are 6 and 8.
Today's Full Moon, a rare Blue Moon, urges you to examine a situation from every angle during the coming fortnight. This may not be as simple or straightforward as you imagine, because you'll soon discover that there are more shades of grey involved than you first thought. Try to avoid getting on your moral high horse because that will be a distraction. Beneficial colours are salmon and lavender. Lucky numbers are 16 and 70.
Taurus is strong and capable, but don't take on too much today, just because you're convinced that you can handle it. You may find out that you can't, which will be the cause of embarrassment on your part and irritation on someone else's. Be wary of saddling yourself with too many chores or offering to take on work that you can't do. Energising colours are burgundy and apricot. Lucky numbers are 1 and 3.
You feel like spending some money on your home or family, Taurus. It doesn't matter whether you're shelling out thousands or only a modest amount, because the satisfaction and pleasure will be the same. If you're hunting for a gift for someone, you might spot the very thing now but it could come at a price. But you're in a generous mood! Dreamy colours are apricot and lilac. Lucky numbers are 5 and 8.
You need to take care of anyone who's going through a bad time or who is simply less fortunate than you. Give them a ring to make sure they're OK, drop in on them for a surprise visit or offer to run some errands for them. You might also get involved in some other form of good works, such as donating money to a charity or even volunteering your services. Beneficial colours are emerald and ebony. Lucky numbers are 4 and 9.
This is a fantastic day for being busy around your home or garden. It will help you to burn up any excess nervous or emotional energy, and you'll also take pleasure in a job well done. Don't be surprised if a loved one confides in you, perhaps telling you about their past or letting you into a big secret. You should take it as a compliment. Propitious colours are pink and mauve. Lucky numbers are 9 and 24.
During the next few months you'll want to devote more time than usual to your family and home life. It will be a marvellous opportunity to make an investment in your domestic world in order to improve it, perhaps by doing some DIY or decorating, or by moving house. You might also have to take on more family responsibilities, such as having to look after a loved one. Beneficial colours are bright red and ebony. Lucky numbers are 19 and 51.
You're capable of making some important changes to your life today, especially if these are connected with emotional or financial matters. Maybe you've been putting off doing something and now you're finally ready to swing into action? There could also be some intense and highly personal moments between you and a very special person. Expressive colours are pale gold and dark brown. Lucky numbers are 37 and 66.
Get set for a trying day in which you're bombarded with information, phone calls and other demands on your time, especially if you're trying to meet a tight deadline or cope with a busy schedule. Take care of whatever is most important and let any trivia wait until another day, otherwise you'll run yourself ragged and end up making silly mistakes. Cool it! Fortunate colours are burnt orange and lemon. Lucky numbers are 39 and 45.
It's another day when you need to stay on your toes. Your natural state right now is to have your head in the clouds, which is great if you're doing something that requires a vivid imagination and an ability to day-dream, but isn't such good news if you're supposed to be logical and practical. Perhaps you should postpone any important decisions until another day? Auspicious colours are brilliant white and aubergine. Lucky numbers are 17 and 57.
It's very difficult to keep your feet on the ground and to be objective this Tuesday. You're showing a marked tendency to be idealistic and to only see what you want to see, rather than to observe what's actually going on. Be very careful when dealing with any financial arrangements as you may not be thinking as realistically as usual. You don't want to end up out of pocket. Nice colours are lazuli and sable. Lucky numbers are 33 and 27.
It will be a real shame if you spend too much time by yourself today because you're still feeling extremely chatty and outgoing. You'll be a big hit if you're taking part in any sort of social event, and you might even make some new contacts as a result. There could also be a delightful invitation coming your way, or someone's loving comments will make your day. Auspicious colours are brass and emerald green. Lucky numbers are 18 and 26.
You're in a very affectionate and demonstrative mood, and looking for every opportunity to show it. You might give loved ones many more hugs than usual, pay someone a heartfelt compliment or remind someone special of how much you care about them. Don't be shy about this because your actions will put everyone in a good mood, and they'll also make you feel great. Expansive colours are bright yellow and dark green. Lucky numbers are 2 and 7.
Once again, you're feeling very domesticated and will enjoy staying close to home. You'll really enjoy your creature comforts but you'll get a lot more out of them if you can share them with others. It's a great day for doing some entertaining because you're very charming and chatty right now, so you'll quickly put everyone at their ease. Beneficial colours are black satin and marzipan. Lucky numbers are 24 and 53.
Ideally, you should be lazing around at home, doing as little as possible. You're feeling delightfully lethargic and lazy, and you don't want to put yourself out in any way if you don't have to. The only exception to this might be cooking plenty of food, because you're certainly in the mood for eating and drinking, preferably with some of your nearest and dearest around you. Stable colours are crimson and kiwifruit. Lucky numbers are 5 and 29.
Your visionary powers are working well, whether you're using them in the course of your work or simply for your own amusement. Your imagination is so strong that the things you're thinking about come true. If you have to talk to some influential or important people, try to adopt a gentle approach. Beneficial colours are navy and kiwifruit. Lucky numbers are 28 and 11.
You long to give yourself a good time today, even if that simply means curling up on the sofa with a box of chocolates or getting together with some of your favourite people. You're in a self-indulgent mood, and have no desire to stint yourself in any way. One of the biggest attractions for you will be some comfort food, so take care if you're supposed to be on a diet. Fortunate colours are chocolate and cream. Lucky numbers are 1 and 6.
This is the perfect day for immersing yourself in mundane projects and activities, such as cleaning the house, doing the shopping or making lots of phone calls. You'll enjoy being busy with such things, and it will give you a great sense of satisfaction to know that you're making progress with them all. You might also do much more chatting than usual. Beneficial colours are deep blue and chocolate. Lucky numbers are 17 and 9.
If you want a quiet Monday you should avoid getting involved in anything to do with money or belongings. It's a recipe for trouble, with people becoming possessive or acquisitive. You'll also run into difficulties if you want to limit someone's emotional or physical freedom, especially if you're worried about what they might get up to when you're not around. Don't do it! Insightful colours are apricot and lavender. Lucky numbers are 32 and 25.
After the hectic pace of the last couple of days you're ready to slow things down a little and catch your breath. Ideally, you should do this at home, in the company of some of your nearest and dearest. Maybe you could all share a delicious meal or have a lazy time in the garden. You certainly won't feel like doing anything very strenuous or stressful. Ideal colours are pale pink and shimmering blue. Lucky numbers are 32 and 72.
If you were in danger of getting restless yesterday, you'll really feel it today. Do your best to be spontaneous and impulsive, without going over the top and landing yourself in trouble. Try to get plenty of exercise and several changes of scene. You'll also want some lively company and will try to keep away from anyone who's a complete stick-in-the-mud. Favourable colours are mulberry and sable. Lucky numbers are 39 and 31.
You need to keep moving today to avoid getting restless and bored. Try to vary your routine as much as possible, and have plenty of breaks if you're doing something that could become tedious. You'll have a great time if you've got something sociable lined up, although you'll have the most fun if you can avoid doing anything too predictable. Positive colours are indigo and lapis lazuli. Lucky numbers are 22 and 8.
