The Week Ahead for Taurus
Monday, May 18th – Sunday, May 24th
Mars enters your sign encouraging you to make bold moves and have confidence in yourself and your abilities. That said, you don’t want to give in to your anger or outrage and take a verbal swipe at someone. Hold your fire until you have a laser-like focus on your target. Especially if you have a late April birthday or planets and points around 5 degrees of Taurus, Scorpio, Leo and Aquarius, you are in a year of transition with some huge highs and lows, and what is happening at this time will form a big part of that journey.
Using your power correctly.

Monday, May 11th – Sunday, May 17th
New moons open new chapters and since Saturday’s new moon is in your sign, any new chapters require your personal input. How we meet the world – our persona – is all-important to our success and happiness, and it seems you are ready for an image update. Whether you change your look or decide that you’re so over being worried about life, greeting the world with a “new” face will have dividends. Maybe you’ve been hesitant about accepting an invitation or making a move that carries a certain amount of risk. Whatever your secret desire, now is the time to do something about it.
What are you waiting for?

The Month Ahead for Taurus
May 2026
May opens on a full moon empowering you and encouraging you to end practices and alliances that are draining your energies thereby preventing you from fulfilling a long-held ambition. You can’t move mountains without generating a lot of rubble, so be prepared for some push-back on and around the 6th. Money may be the reason you are reluctant to make an almighty move, but you will find alternative sources of income and funding. Do your best to get arrangements sorted and contracts signed by the 30th. Thereafter the momentum fades.

The Year Ahead for Taurus
This is the second year running that the astrology is like nothing we’ve seen before, which means you have to be flexible and philosophical about what comes or goes. For many, it’s a year when family comes first and for others it’s about expanding your territory, whether in the sense of spreading your influence or a bigger and better home and more people with whom to share it! There could be a lot of travel, especially in the first six months, and some of you will embark on a course to increase your knowledge or add to your bank of skills.
