Taurus Monthly Horoscope
The horoscope for Taurus (April 20 – May 20) for the current month. It is built from real events in the sky — planets changing signs, stations, the New Moon and Full Moon, eclipses and aspects — and breaks the month down by area of life and by day.
The month in brief
The Sun in the 7th house: a month of partners. By tradition, the focus is on relationships, contracts and other people.

Fri, November 13, 10:57 AM — Mercury stations and turns direct again (in Scorpio, 7th house). By tradition stalled matters in this area — partners and contracts — start moving again, but picking up speed will take another week or two.
Fri, November 13, 7:29 PM — Venus stations and turns direct again (in Libra, 6th house). By tradition stalled matters in this area — work and health — start moving again, but picking up speed will take another week or two.
Sun, November 22, 2:24 AM — Sun changes sign: now in Sagittarius, 8th house. The Sun in the 8th house: a month of change. Tradition links it with shared money, debts and whatever it is time to let go of.
Tue, November 24, 9:54 AM — Full Moon in Gemini, 2nd house. A Full Moon in your 2nd house brings money to a head: income arrives or expenses come to light. By tradition it is the time to take financial stock and avoid impulse purchases.

Times shown are New York time (US Eastern, UTC−5). Planet positions, aspects and eclipses are from the JPL DE421 ephemeris. Houses are counted from the sign: the sign itself is the 1st house, the next one the 2nd, and so on. Good and difficult days are chosen by the rules of tradition: the Moon's house, planet positions, the day's aspects, New and Full Moons and eclipses.
Love and relationships
Venus in your 6th house: office romance, care as the language of love. By tradition feelings show in small things — don't turn the relationship into a to-do list.

How this horoscope is put together
The monthly horoscope is built from real events in the sky from the first day of the month to the last: the Sun and planets entering new signs, the stations of Mercury, Venus, Mars and the outer planets, the New Moon and Full Moon, eclipses and every exact aspect of the month. Positions come from the JPL DE421 ephemeris.
Events are translated into the language of your sign using solar houses: Taurus is the 1st house, the next sign is the 2nd, and so on. Each area is read separately: love from Venus and Mars, work from Mars, Saturn and Mercury, money from Jupiter and Venus, energy from Mars, Saturn and the Moon.
The lucky days for each area are the days with the highest total score: the Moon's house, planetary positions and retrogrades, exact aspects, the New Moon, the Full Moon and eclipses. The "By day" table shows the score for each day of the month and the events that made it up.
Ruler of Taurus
The ruler of the sign is Venus. By tradition, its position and aspects matter more for Taurus than for other signs: favorable aspects of the ruler strengthen the whole period, while tense ones make it harder.
