Taurus Weekly Horoscope
The horoscope for Taurus (April 20 – May 20) for the current week, Monday through Sunday. It is built from real events in the sky — planets changing signs, the New Moon and Full Moon, exact aspects — and shows what they mean for your sign in particular.
The week in brief
The Sun in the 7th house: a month of partners. By tradition, the focus is on relationships, contracts and other people.
This week the Moon passes through your 4th house (home and family) → 5th house (love, children, creativity) → 6th house (work and health) → 7th house (partners and contracts) — the themes of the days change in this order. By tradition the easiest days are when it is in your sign and in your 5th, 9th and 11th houses, the heaviest when it is in the 8th and 12th.
The tone of the period is even: 1 harmonious aspects and 0 tense ones. Good and difficult days alternate — follow the day-by-day breakdown.
Wed, November 4, 5:32 AM — Venus ⚹ Jupiter — sextile. By tradition one of the luckiest moments of the period: the benefic planets help — good for meetings, requests, purchases and anything you want to start on a high note. For you this links two houses: the 6th house (work and health) and the 4th house (home and family).
Wed, November 4, 9:25 AM — Sun ☌ Mercury — conjunction. Conjunction of the Sun and Mercury: by tradition thoughts and goals line up — a good time to make a decision and say it out loud. For you both planets are in the 7th house: partners and contracts.
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.
Venus is retrograde right now. By tradition, a time to return to past relationships and spending; anything new — a romance, big purchases, a wedding — is best started after it turns direct.

How this horoscope is put together
The weekly horoscope is built from real events in the sky from Monday to Sunday: planets entering new signs, stations, the New Moon and Full Moon, eclipses and exact aspects between planets. Positions come from the JPL DE421 ephemeris, and the time of each event is known to the minute.
Every event is translated into the language of your sign using solar houses: Taurus is the 1st house, the next sign is the 2nd, and so on. That is why the same Full Moon falls in one house for Taurus and in another for the neighboring sign, and its interpretation differs.
The lucky and difficult days are not chosen at random. For each day, points are scored in four areas — love, work, money and energy: which house the Moon is in, where Venus and Jupiter are (they help the area of their house) and Mars and Saturn (they hinder, except in the 3rd, 6th and 11th houses), which planets are retrograde, which aspects are exact that day, and whether a New Moon, Full Moon or eclipse falls on it. Next to each lucky day you can see why it is lucky.
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.
