Your Taurus Horoscope 21 April - 21 May

TAURUS

The road to success

Family ties

Spooky intuition

✦ ✦ ✦

Clean Slate

Taurus, you divine creature, this is a week of transformation. We’ve stepped into a new energy, and now you’re figuring out where to go next.

You may have felt very up in the air, particularly while Mercury was retrograde, but you’re getting your communication skills back, and your intuition is spot on.

Saturn is going retrograde, so you’re examining the roads you went down before that ended up being illusions. Don’t worry about that. This is a brand-new clean slate, and you’ve got an opportunity for success and a sense of security that is real.

To reach it, you have to keep letting go and evolving; old patterns will only delay you. I’d imagine that over the past week, you’ve already realised which new direction you need to take.

✦ ✦ ✦

You’re laying foundations to make these dreams come true rather than charging ahead without knowing where you’re going. With the Sun trine Neptune and sextile Uranus, you’re deeply intuitive about the decisions ahead, but you’re also being practical. One hunch you’ve had over the past few days is going to turn out to be spookily accurate.

A big karmic shift is happening on the 27th with the North Node entering Aquarius this is your karma, the light you’re heading toward, and the South Node is what you’re leaving behind. Your karmic rewards are around achievement, reputation and success, so expect a positive shift in this area. The South Node is helping you release communication problems; you’re learning to speak from your heart and letting go of thoughts that no longer serve you.

You’re also letting go of anything that held you back, particularly beliefs handed down through the family. We all grow up in different environments, and sometimes those environments leave wounds. They can make us doubt ourselves or push us towards a life that feels acceptable to other people. You’re carving your own path now, and you don’t care what anyone else has to say about it.

✦ ✦ ✦

29th July — Full Moon in Aquarius

The South Node moving into Leo helps you release old family patterns, while the Sun conjunct Jupiter in Leo brings healing and a missing piece around home, family and emotional security. This becomes especially powerful around the 29th, which is also the day of the Full Moon in Aquarius.

The two great lessons this week are simple. You’ve got every right to make your own decisions, and that’s exactly what you’re going to do.

There’s also support around you. Family and friendships are shifting, and you may be letting go of people who don’t make you feel safe, but there’s a core group who truly love and believe in you.

✦ ✦ ✦

In a Nutshell

Mercury going direct gets your voice and instincts back on track. Saturn retrograde sends you back to examine old illusions — not to dwell, but to build something real on solid ground this time. The Node shift on the 27th points your karma towards success and reputation, while the South Node in Leo helps you release old family wounds and borrowed beliefs. The Sun conjunct Jupiter on the 29th brings healing around home and family, and the Full Moon in Aquarius brings the whole week to a head. You’ve got every right to make your own decisions. And a core group of people who truly love you — keep them close.

27 Jul — North Node Enters Aquarius

29 Jul 2026 — Full Moon in Aquarius

TAURUS

Chiron turns retrograde, deepening the healing

Venus enters Libra, calling for balance and self-care

Eclipse season shakes up home, family and friendships

✦ ✦ ✦

Chiron Turns Retrograde

Buckle up, Taurus, as Chiron, the wounded healer, who’s been with you since June, is going retrograde. Chiron digs deep into our most hidden corners; your wounds are being poked right now. You’ve been reevaluating your identity and questioning everything. The more honest you are, and the more you look your wounds in the eye, the greater the healing will be. There’s a strong possibility that a karmic connection from your past gets in touch, which drags up uncomfortable feelings. By the end of the month, you will view the relationship with fresh eyes and, hopefully, a sense of relief.

✦ ✦ ✦

Venus in Libra

Venus, your ruler, always gives you clear advice and magnetism. Venus moves into Libra on the 6th, entering your health and well-being zone. It’s asking, what are you devoted to, and how do you express your devotion? How good are you at taking care of yourself? As cosy as it is to treat yourself to your favourite snacks while bingeing podcasts, Venus is asking for balance: self-care, with a dose of time out to gather your thoughts.

Take yourself out for a date, immerse yourself in nature and cast your mind back to the wholesome things you enjoy. If you do that, you’ll be instantly recharged. Venus is also super active, connecting to Pluto, Neptune and wild card Uranus. It’s all part of the soul audit you’re going through. Yes, it’s a surprisingly unusual ride, but it peaks in your favour on the 17th with a sextile to Jupiter, the planet of good fortune. Think about what you want to explore and expand.

✦ ✦ ✦

Eclipse Season

It’s eclipse season, with a solar eclipse in Leo on the 12th. Eclipses leave us in the dark, then pull back the curtain for a reveal we don’t expect. With the eclipse in your home and family space, whatever you’ve been hiding in that area comes to the surface. Expect changes and reshuffles. The lunar eclipse, on the other hand, is helping you reimagine friendships and group connections. It’s time to put yourself out there, launch the project, hold the talk and show off your wares! Publishing, group chats and reflecting on what you thought you wanted to manifest are also highlighted. Your experience in all these areas will be radically different in six months’ time. We end the month on a high as Jupiter trines Saturn. Whatever you truly commit to has permission to be a success now.

✦ ✦ ✦

In a Nutshell

It’s a big month. Chiron turns retrograde in Taurus on the 3rd, poking at old wounds around identity and worth, so honesty is the way through. Venus moves into Libra on the 6th, asking you to balance self-care with real rest. Mercury enters Leo on the 9th, then conjuncts Jupiter on the 15th for a burst of bold ideas. The solar eclipse in Leo on the 12th shakes up home and family, and Venus sextiles Jupiter on the 17th for a lucky boost. The lunar eclipse in Pisces on the 28th reshuffles friendships and group plans, and we close the month strong as Jupiter trines Saturn on the 31st, rewarding whatever you’ve truly committed to.

Taurus Yearly Astrology Forecast 2026

Redefine your Rich

No more walking wounded

Home is where your heart is

Viva Las Vegas Uranus delivers a high-roller 2026 as it leaves your sign for Gemini and your 2^nd at the start of your birthday cycle this year. Spinning that wheel of fortune or roulette wheel of destiny for you. Landing on your number.

You’ve put up with Uranus in your sign for almost a decade, Taurus. A time when things may have been uncertain and subject to sudden changes and shifts. The good news for you this year, is that with Uranus’ exit from your sign, the ground beneath your feet stops shifting and becomes stable again. Especially when Jupiter moves from Cancer and your 3^rd and enters Leo and your 4^th at the end of June.

The shift of the Nodes – the North Node moves from Pisces and your 11^th into Aquarius and your sector of status and career, while the South moves into Leo on July 27, places you where destiny wants you to be. Think your king/queendom, where you sit on that throne and role your domain. Fate shifts you from an era of strange uncertainty and into a new cycle of stability, self-determination and peace. All the things you value in fact.

Uranus in your sign will have evolved how you see yourself – and how your values form a key part of your identity. Its move into your money zone is an invitation to literally put your newly minted awareness to work for you. Especially when it comes to your money, income, possessions and self-worth. Although this year offers the kind of stability you seek, you may see changes occur around your main source of income. You may change jobs for instance. Exchanging your present one for something which pays much better. You receive a promotion or raise. Or a side-hustle or entrepreneurial idea turns into an unexpected source of additional income.

Uranus in Vegas mode may see you take a chance take that self-employment leap. There’s an element of chance, the roll of the dice, 21 Blackjack – but this doesn’t mean you should take unnecessary risks with your money.

This Uranus can usher in windfalls and unexpected benefits. But it can also cut off sources of income you have been relying on. It can present you with situations that involve a certain amount of financial risk. I’m not talking about actually going to Vegas and betting your life savings. Or even putting everything on that ‘hot’ stock market tip. But a calculated risk where you are backing your own talents or instincts. An example of this would be going from salaried to self-employed that I mentioned earlier. Or someone offers you a plum job at a start-up. There’s better money, career progression and the opportunity to be part of something exciting. But it means quitting that sure-thing position with your established employer. And you have no guarantees the start-up with succeed. It’s that kind of gamble Uranus in your money zone can present to you.

This Wheel of Fortune Uranus invites you to spin it and watch it land on increased abundance. It will hand you something you can build on. It could even be an investment in your future. Or in people. Your second house rules your ‘assets’. These include not just those talents and skills you have worked so diligently to develop. But the people and connections who are ‘assets’ in your life. Uranus rules Aquarius and the 11^th house. Friends, contacts, groups, networks and communities. So, you can forge connections either personally or professionally, which turn into your greatest assets. No matter the boom or bust experiences Uranus can bring in your money zone, ultimately you should emerge a winner and ahead by the time it is over.

When that winning streak happens, invest any extra income or that lump sum into creating your foundation. I’ll have more to say on this shortly.

The Truth is Out There – Saturn and Neptune in Aries

You begin 2026 with a desire to know or experience more. The year begins with ruler Venus in Capricorn and your 9^th. The house of travel, quests and higher learning. This is Saturn’s ruling sign. And the Capricorn stellium which forms at the very start of the year – Sun, Mercury, Venus and Mars, ignites a desire to go further.

Saturn and Neptune are now poised to enter Aries and your deep seeking and spiritual 12^th house. Where secrets reside and are also exposed. Amongst these are the secrets we keep from ourselves. And with Chiron moving from Aries to your sign on June 19, you can expect what’s hidden to be exposed and examined in order to be healed, released or put behind you.

Neptune crosses from your 11^th to your 12^th on Jan 26. Saturn follows on Feb 14. And for the very first time in all our lifetimes, the two planets meet in Aries on Feb 20^th. Just four days after a pivotal eclipse in Aquarius and your 10^th house.

You will now know for certain if you are on the right path, in the right place or even with the right person. Your career, ambitions, status – this includes your employment status or role as well as your relationship status, and your public image will now be a long term and major area of focus for you. This is because although Saturn and Neptune are now in your 12^th, the ripples generated by the eclipse, will impact on your path for a long time to come. This is also tied to Jupiter and the North Node changing signs. What the Saturn/Neptune conjunction triggers for you, is the truth around the path you have taken. A review of what you have attained or achieved to date. Where you want to go or what you want to do next. And most importantly, what may be holding you back from taking those steps.

Chiron in Taurus: Heal Your Wound

The most insidious wounds of all are the ones we don’t know we carry. Perhaps we have told ourselves what caused them is ‘nothing much’. Or we simply slap that psychic Band-Aid on them and keep on going. Unaware we are in fact, the walking wounded.

Being the most stoic sign of the zodiac, you are the one most likely to simply ignore that emotional or psychic pain. Pushing it to one side while telling yourself ‘That’s life’ or ‘These things happen’. And because these are wounds of the soul and spirit, they are invisible. And if there’s one sign that epitomises ‘Keep Calm, And Carry On’ – it’s you, Taurus. You simply keep going.

Chiron’s arrival in your sign on June 19 rips off the Band-Aid. Yes, it’s an ‘Owch!’ moment. But now it’s aired, it can heal properly. Saturn and Neptune have been preparing you for this. If part of your wound has caused you self-doubt or seen you simply sustain the unsustainable, Chiron has you dropping these kinds of burdens. You may seek professional help or guidance with this. Don’t see this as a weakness. It’s your strength being unleashed.

The secret’s out in more ways than one, Taurus. And here’s yours when it comes to no longer forming part of the ranks of the walking wounded. You possess all the self-assertiveness and courage of an Aries (thank Saturn and Neptune for reconnecting you to this). But where Aries can often rush in unprepared, you bring the additional fortitude and creativity to perfect things and see them through. Making them more beautiful and meaningful. If you have lost touch with these elemental strengths, Chiron is here to show you just how valuable they are. You’ll never undersell or underestimate what you bring to the table again.

Jupiter in Leo – Move Into the Summer House!

Jupiter in Leo and your 4^th is about your throne, your domain, castle, palace and where you rule. It moves in for a years stay on June 30. And it hands you the keys to rulership or that castle door. This also includes self-rulership, Taurus. Your reign under Jupiter in Leo will involve you deciding just how your queen/kingdom is ruled as your 4^th house isn’t just about family and traditions, but your path in life. You rule, Taurus. And get to make the rules.

Many are calling Jupiter’s arrival in Leo ‘The Summer of Love’. Not just because it occurs in summer. But also because Leo is the sign ruled by the Sun. Jupiter isn’t just here for summer but will unpack for a 12 month stay. Shining on property matters, where you live, family ties and your roots. Your foundations and what shelters and supports you.

Upgrading your residence, moves and relocations – often big ones, happen with Jupiter in your 4^th. And if money has been a stumbling block, Jupiter often gives you a helping hand over it. Especially with its transit coinciding with Uranus in your money zone. This is why I advised you to channel any Uranian ‘wins’ into long term plans. Such as your home or investing in your future path and security.

You could extend your present home. Perhaps even to accommodate a growing family as Jupiter expands. Or you purchase a home in an area which then undergoes a property boom. Your low-ball offer is accepted. You pull up those roots and relocate to a different suburb, or a totally different part of the country. Or even a different country entirely. Even if you are renting, you could end up with a far better or larger home than you imagined your budget allowed. Jupiter wants you presiding over your domain.

No matter what, you will enter into a commitment in terms of your place, path or lifestyle at some point during Jupiter’s stay in here. Where you establish yourself and rule. This includes your co-ruler, Taurus. Any partnerships formed during this Jupiter transit tend to be loving and harmonious. You share the same values especially when it comes to family or the kind of home and lifestyle you want to create. Others may take that step and move in or purchase a home together.

Do however pay attention to people you meet who cause you to look at your lifestyle and reflect on the path you have chosen. This is Uranus working with Jupiter. Be awake and aware as they may show you where you may have simply opted to stay ‘safe’ – but cut yourself off from what life potentially has to offer you. In terms of living and also owning your journey.

Home is very much where your heart is in ‘26. But with Nodes changing signs comes a change in the eclipse axis. I’ve already mentioned the long term ripple effect of the first eclipse of the year – the Annular Solar Eclipse in Aquarius and your career zone. The Sun rules Leo and your 4^th. So, as a general rule of thumb, you should avoid property or any decision which has potential long term implications around eclipses as no matter if it is a solar or lunar eclipse, the Sun is always impacted. But definitely at the time of a solar eclipse.

We have a second solar eclipse on Aug 12 in your 4^th. And this is a total eclipse of the Sun. Please avoid property matters and any decisions that involve go/stay choices or moving in/moving out in the days leading up to this eclipse. And for at least three days following it. This includes leaving a job or a relationship. As well as an actual physical move of home. Buying, selling, renting or leasing property. Renovations, redecoration, hiring a cleaner, contractor or interior designer. Or a big decision around a family member. This is a total blackout. You are completely in the dark over a hidden element that could be right on your doorstep. Or in the same room.

Eclipses are neither good nor bad. They are evolutionary points of change. But we may not yet see what kind of change. Or the one we should set in motion. Which is why we need to wait for the shadows to clear. Because we are talking about the house where your heart lives, when the lights get turned back on, you could find your heart has changed its mind. Or is now tugging you in another direction. Which is why you need to avoid anything which locks you into something long term – a mortgage, lease, contract etc.

The October/November Venus Retrograde

Pause ahead of this year’s Venus retrograde and understand you have not one but FOUR planets which rule love and partnerships. I did say you rule this year, Taurus. And you might like to think of yourself as the royal catch being wooed by several equally regal suitors from other kingdoms. First there’s the ruler of your sign – Venus. Venus rules partnerships and money in general for you. But what about the others? When it comes to romance, flings to be flung and attraction – that’s Mercury as it rules Virgo and your 5^th. So, single Taureans should avoid seeking or swiping under a Mercury retrograde. Or may have noticed how that hot prospect ghosted you under a Mercury retro in the past.

When it comes to marriage, long term commitments, live in lovers, working unions, business partners, collaborators and your Ride or Die – you have two rulers. Mars and Pluto as they rule Scorpio and your 7^th house. You now have Pluto in Aquarius and your 10^th until 2043. This tells you to expect powerful shifts and transformations around partnerships. Remember – your 10^th rules your status as in single, married, divorced. As well as your partner’s status in life.

Positive transits of Venus, Mars and Pluto will always be excellent times for love and partnerships. Look to the Venus/Mars conjunction in Capricorn on Jan 8 and Venus’ meeting with Pluto on Jan 20 as wonderful dates for lover’s meetings and partnership decisions. March sees Venus in your sign while Mars transits your 1^st in May/June.

However, Venus will retrograde in Scorpio and your 7^th on Oct 3. And square both Mars and Pluto shortly after. Mercury will also retrograde in Scorpio from Oct 24. This puts all four of your love planets either backwards or under pressure. Plus the full Moon in your sign on Oct 26 squares Pluto. Needless to say, this is certainly not the time to be looking for any new connection. Especially as you are the sign which craves the lasting. Tackle any issues or tensions in existing unions and do not let them fester.

If you are single, use this time to look at how your values have evolved. And how these impact your criteria for what you seek in a partner. All Taureans can channel this Venus retro energy into creative projects or simply re-appreciating the partner they have. However, if things have not been working for a while, this retrograde may bring the realisation you do now need to move on. If so, you will be able to be practical and non-blaming about it as Venus backs into its other ruling sign of Libra and your 6^th house before heading direct again on Nov 14.

2026 allows you to lay a solid foundation for your future. And to see this take form as you add to it brick by brick. What begins as an idea turns into a towering achievement or takes on a form that sustains, supports and shelters you. Jupiter in your 4^th doesn’t just expand your living space, but also your emotional IQ. You relate to yourself, others and also your environment in a new and different way. You know what will truly meet your needs for the future. There’s a saying that sometimes you have to go look for your life. Don’t be afraid to unstick yourself and go in search of yours, Taurus. One way or another – you’re on the move.

In a nutshell: 2026 ends a cycle of uncertainty as Uranus moves from your sign into Gemini and your 2^nd of money and values. What you may value most is your home or what creates that feeling of belonging and stability. Jupiter hands you the keys to your kingdom as it enters Leo and your 4^th. Get ready to rule your domain.
