Taurus horoscope today

Most shaken12th of 12

What matters most

Mars is at a difficult angle to your sign. Everything moves too fast, and irritation rises over nothing. Slow down on purpose, one thing at a time.

Calculated for noon, London time, from the positions of the seven classical planets.

Your stretch, your day

These days

A demanding stretch until November 25.

What weighs on you: Mars and Jupiter at a difficult angle, Mercury and Venus opposite your sign.

These weeks take more effort than usual, but there's an end in sight.

Today

The Moon in Sagittarius does nothing in particular for you: the day follows your stretch.

The details

Background -4.725, Moon 0: total -4.725, so 2/10. The background alone gives 2/10.

A demanding stretch when the background is at -2.4 or lower.

  • Mars, square: -1.875, until November 25
  • Mercury, opposition: -1.05, until December 6
  • Venus, opposition: -0.9, until October 25
  • Jupiter, square: -0.9, until July 26, 2027

Area by area

What lifts youYou

What holds you backEnergy

You

None of this area's planets is looking at your sign today: a neutral day, neither lifted nor slowed.

Love

Venus is at a difficult angle to your sign. What you give and what comes back don't match up. Say things simply, without blame.

  • Venus · opposition

Work

Mercury is at a difficult angle to your sign. Messages cross, and what's read fast gets read wrong. Take thirty extra seconds per message.

  • Mercury · opposition

Energy

Mars is at a difficult angle to your sign. Everything moves too fast, and irritation rises over nothing. Slow down on purpose, one thing at a time.

  • Mars · square

Others

Jupiter rubs against your sign, for months. You give others too much, or expect too much from them, and disappointment follows. Promise half as much, and keep all of it.

  • Jupiter · square
  • in the background, for months

Mercury rubs against your sign these weeks. People talk without hearing each other, and one wrong word takes over. Rephrase instead of repeating louder.

  • Mercury · opposition

The coming days

The Moon changes sign about every two days (2.28 on average): it makes most of the difference from one day to the next. The rest moves slowly.

What about you?

This page applies to everyone who shares this sign. Your own sky today, calculated from your whole chart (your Moon, your Ascendant, your houses), is more accurate.

How it's scored

At noon, we look at which sign each of the seven classical planets is in (Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn), and the angle it makes with each sign: trines and sextiles lift, squares and oppositions slow, and with a conjunction it depends on the planet.

Each area only counts the planets tradition links to it: Venus for love, Mercury and Saturn for work, Mars and the Sun for energy, the Moon and Jupiter for others, the Sun and the Moon for you. Otherwise, the calculation is the same as for the sign's score.

A sign is a twelfth of humanity: this score holds for everyone who shares it. Your own daily sky, calculated on your whole chart, is more accurate.
