Overview for this Month: Taurus (All)
April 2018 Monthly Horoscope for Taurus: The month ahead focuses on personal appeal, leisure, healing, and replenishing your energy, dear Taurus. Some intense aspects are happening in April, but these are occurring in harmony with your sign, making the month in an overall sense quite useful for making the most of things and helping others, as well.
As April begins, the Full Moon has just occurred in your work and health sector and is a call to action regarding your work, services, habits, and health in the first weeks of April. Even so, there is a strong focus on downtime this month with the Sun (until the 20th) and Mercury (all month) in your soul sector. This is a time for finding the time to rest, be still, reflect, and process recent events.
Venus spends most of the month in your sign (until April 24th). It harmonizes with heavyweight planets (Mars, Saturn, and Pluto) in your spirit sector, and self-expression is perhaps a little strong or heavy but also successful and well-received. Venus does very well this month, in fact, presenting you with excellent opportunities to attract what you want into your life. If you're looking for work, it's likely to come to you now. Work and health matters are favored, in general during this period.
On the 2nd, Mars and Saturn meet in your solar ninth house, and you're facing a reality and putting a responsibility or obligation behind you. This is a time for getting over a hump in your life. Do your best to focus on a game plan or strategy rather than dwelling on the frustration of the moment's obstacles. You're putting your life into better order now, and this will ultimately be a relief. Work hard, if possible, as much as you'd prefer to pursue your interests in a freeform manner. Tune out whatever distractions you can and put in extra effort so that you can put difficult situations in the rearview mirror.
You're very attractive this month, but perhaps a little elusive or undecided until the 20th forward. The mystery, in fact, may add a little more to your appeal! There's a nice window of opportunity from the 10-14. Your personal magnetism runs high, benefiting you for both work and social affairs. Super energy is with you for connecting on a romantic level, as well as a boost with friends, for learning, publishing, and communicating. Cooperation is vital, but a bit of friendly competition can help inspire improvements. Business connected with art, music, and other creative ventures can prosper, or there can be good timing with money and business now. You might reach mutually beneficial agreements.
Keep in mind, though, that as exciting and hopeful things are now, Mercury only turns direct on the 15th, and the New Moon occurs on that same date, after which things are clearer for new beginnings.
If a money or business matter has stalled, it's likely to move forward after the 15th, but only gain real traction after the 26th.
On the 20th, your birthday month begins, pointing to a period of personal discovery and awakening. This is a time for reorienting yourself and starting fresh. Sharing ideas and beliefs and taking part in activities that are outside of your usual routine can be magical around the 22-23. All month, you're in a robust cycle for tapping into your inner wisdom. You may not be making many cut-and-dried decisions, but you're doing some important thinking and processing.
The 25-26 is a time for learning or advancing in your trade, or for personal experiences that change your perspective. The goal should be to purge and let go, responsibly, if you're seeking out or defending a truth now. Stubbornness can be a positive when it involves working towards an important goal, and counter-productive when you shut yourself down entirely to valuable alternatives. Watch for over-defending an opinion. It can be a good time for making significant changes to educational, legal, and travel plans, however. The Full Moon on the 29th is brilliant for recognizing the need to make changes, particularly in relationships, and for finding all the tools you need to apply them constructively.

Taurus (Born April 21 to 30) and Taurus Ascendant from 0 to 10 degrees Taurus:April 2018 Taurus Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
The Sun this Month: Central Focus, Consciousness Until April 20th: The Sun continues to shine its light on your solar twelfth house. This is the time to listen to your intuition, to take a break from the hectic pace of your life, and to reflect on what you have learned in the past year. You might naturally retreat a little and take more private time for yourself now. Your physical energy levels may not be up to par for the time being, and this is your body signaling you to take a break. This is not an ideal time for pushing forward with new personal projects and plans. It is better to finish up projects and tie up loose ends now. From April 20th forward: The Sun illuminates your first house now, bringing issues surrounding your personal identity, appearance, outward behavior, and self-expression to the forefront. This marks the peak of your physical solar cycle, and you are in the position to make an impression on others, and to assert your personal influence. Spontaneity of expression is what this transit is about. You are ready to put your past behind you and to start a new personal cycle. You have presence and you project confidence. Increased energy and a renewed feeling of confidence is with you now, so take advantage. It's a great month to do something entirely new and pioneering—to go solo in some area of your life. This particular season of the year smiles on your personal endeavors. This is a time when you more easily get in touch with a true sense of your identity and purpose. The most enterprising side of your nature surfaces, and it's time to seize opportunities. Existing problems in your life may be overcome now by bravery and a straightforward approach to your life. There's nothing wrong with a bit of self-centeredness during this cycle, but avoid taking it too far. It's not the best time for teamwork and other cooperative endeavors. The spotlight is on you and your ability to lead, so make it a good one! Take steps to improve how you come across to others. It's time to carve your own path in life. Venus this Month: Love, Romance, Social Life, Comfort Until the 24th: You could find it hard to deny yourself much of anything during this cycle! This is a time when you naturally let loose your softer, receptive side. Romantic matters, as well as pleasure-seeking activities, come to the fore now. You are more likely to pay closer attention to your physical appearance and mannerisms, aiming to improve and enhance your attractiveness. Others find you especially agreeable and cooperative. You are more gracious, well-behaved (superficial if you are not careful!), and likable now. Take advantage! It's a time when you turn heads, and it's also a period for extra attention to pleasures, pampering, and enjoyment. From April 24th forward: Venus transits your solar second house and, as the natural ruler of the second house, Venus feels right "at home" here. This is a rather content position for Venus, although there can be some restlessness when it comes to money and spending it—you are more inclined to want more things around you! Financial security and enjoyment of the good things in life are important to you, although you also value simple pleasures. The ability to relate well with others might enhance your own personal finances during this period. You may find yourself in a position in which there is a blending of financial matters with social or public affairs. This is a stable position for love matters and close relationships. You value those who make you feel comfortable, and familiarity is more important to you than someone new during this cycle. Mercury this Month: Communications, Learning, Connections, Transportation Mercury is retrograde from March 22nd to April 15th: All Mercury retrograde cycles particularly affect you in terms of communications with lovers or children, and regarding financial affairs, because Mercury rules these areas of your life. Your judgment with regards to personal finances (Gemini-ruled for you) as well as romantic partners and creative endeavors may not be up to par just now, so do avoid "signing on the dotted line". Speculation is not advised during this cycle. Occurring in your solar twelfth house this time, extra care should be exercised when it comes to privacy matters. You may find that you are less able to rely on your intuition. Perhaps you're picking up the wrong cues or reading too much into situations. Whatever the case may be, for the time being, you may not feel that your intuition is serving you well. Be as non-judgmental as you can, but do keep an eye out for deceptiveness and falseness in others. You might unwittingly reveal something that you'd prefer to keep private. It would be wise to be especially clear when it comes to communicating about your inner world now; or take this time to re-examine issues rather than communicating about them prematurely. This month: Mercury continues to transit your solar twelfth house. This is a cycle in which clear decision-making does not come easily. You are paying more attention to unspoken or hidden elements of any circumstance. You are seeing all sides to any given story, and forming a definite opinion does not seem "right" for the time being. Thoughts turn to the past. It's a strong period for gaining different perspectives on problems or issues in your life, as well as for reflection and research, but not the easiest time for presenting your ideas. Mars this Month: Energy, Drive, Courage All month: Mars continues to animate and energize your solar ninth house. Your energy levels and sense of timing are good during this cycle. You are strong and bold in your beliefs and convictions as well, and others tend to naturally follow your lead. You actively seek out new learning experiences and have a strong desire to set out on new adventures, however big or small. Others find you easy to be around, even inspiring and energizing, and are attracted to your assertiveness and courage.

Taurus (Born May 1 to 10) and Taurus Ascendant from 10 to 20 degrees Taurus:April 2018 Taurus Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
Overview. The Sun this Month: Central Focus, Consciousness All month: The Sun travels through your twelfth house now, marking a time of retreat and regeneration. Think about the attachments you have--to things, people, and routines--and consider which ones are dragging you down. This is a time when competitive energies and the ego are on a bit of a break. It's not the time to push ahead with brand new projects. Rather, it's a time of reflection, dreaming, and recharging your batteries. Situations that have naturally outgrown their usefulness in your life can now be put behind you. Endings of natural cycles may be part of the picture at this time of year. Your energy is largely applied to personal and private affairs now. Your disposition is introspective. Rest and reflect, and prepare for a more outgoing cycle when the Sun moves into your first house. Venus this Month: Love, Romance, Social Life, Comfort Until the 8th: Venus continues to transit through your solar twelfth house now. The twelfth house is a sector of endings, privacy, and mental health, and with Venus here, it's possible that you are reviewing your feelings for someone, or enjoying a more private love life for the time being. You may not be open with your affections for whatever reason now, and this shouldn't be a problem—it may be difficult to articulate, verbalize, or intellectualize your feelings for the time being. Doing some soul-searching as well as an enhanced ability to perceive other dimensions in love can lead you to a deeper understanding of your own love needs and possibly of a love relationship. Love might involve some form of sacrifice or simply a lot of giving and lending of support as opposed to receiving during this cycle. From April 8th forward: You could find it hard to deny yourself much of anything during this cycle! This is a time when you naturally let loose your softer, receptive side. Romantic matters, as well as pleasure-seeking activities, come to the fore now. You are more likely to pay closer attention to your physical appearance and mannerisms, aiming to improve and enhance your attractiveness. Others find you especially agreeable and cooperative. You are more gracious, well-behaved (superficial if you are not careful!), and likable now. Take advantage! It's a time when you turn heads, and it's also a period for extra attention to pleasures, pampering, and enjoyment. Mercury this Month: Communications, Learning, Connections, Transportation Mercury is retrograde from March 22nd to April 15th: All Mercury retrograde cycles particularly affect you in terms of communications with lovers or children, and regarding financial affairs, because Mercury rules these areas of your life. Your judgment with regards to personal finances (Gemini-ruled for you) as well as romantic partners and creative endeavors may not be up to par just now, so do avoid "signing on the dotted line". Speculation is not advised during this cycle. Occurring in your solar twelfth house this time, extra care should be exercised when it comes to privacy matters. You may find that you are less able to rely on your intuition. Perhaps you're picking up the wrong cues or reading too much into situations. Whatever the case may be, for the time being, you may not feel that your intuition is serving you well. Be as non-judgmental as you can, but do keep an eye out for deceptiveness and falseness in others. You might unwittingly reveal something that you'd prefer to keep private. It would be wise to be especially clear when it comes to communicating about your inner world now; or take this time to re-examine issues rather than communicating about them prematurely. From April 27th forward: Your mind is focused on private matters and past issues while Mercury transits the twelfth house of your solar chart. This is a time when you are least likely to speak out of turn or to express yourself freely. You're searching behind the curtain, and examining the past for answers. This is a good time for research, quiet contemplation, and meditation; but do avoid getting dragged down by issues that have outgrown their worth and purpose. Examining the past in order to improve the future is certainly worthwhile, as long as you don't waste your energy on guilt. Creative endeavors could prosper now, particularly those that draw upon the emotions or that require creative visualization skills, such as poetry, art, acting, and other such activities. You are likely to require a certain amount of solitude in order to get your thoughts together or to be mentally productive. You are less likely to chat indiscriminately during this transit, and tend to be a little secretive or tight-lipped for the time being. This may be important, in fact, because this position of Mercury is sometimes associated with the uncovering of secrets, so discretion may be in order. Mars this Month: Energy, Drive, Courage Until the 5th: Mars continues to energize your solar eighth house. This is a less outwardly assertive or aggressive stage for you as you take the time to process recent events in your life and to develop strategies for going after what you want in the future. You are more observant than active during this cycle, and more strategic and deliberate when you do take action. There may be an increase in sexual appetite now. It's an excellent period for eliminating wasteful activities. Shared finances can come into focus, and you might feel an increased need to take charge of these matters. This could lead to disputes and disagreements if you are not careful or sensitive in your dealings with others. From April 5th forward: Mars animates and energizes your solar ninth house. During this period, you are especially enthusiastic and more bold than usual. Some restlessness and hunger for adventure is experienced now. Essentially, you are looking to expand your activities, and you may find that you have a lot of energy for higher studies, travel, or simply new subjects. Negative potentials include being excessively opinionated or getting easily fired up over differences in points of view, or legal fights. Overview Horoscope: April 2018 Monthly Horoscope for Taurus: The month ahead focuses on personal appeal, leisure, healing, and replenishing your energy, dear Taurus.

Taurus (Born May 11 to 21) AND Taurus Ascendant from 20 to 30 degrees Taurus:April 2018 Taurus Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
The Sun this Month: Central Focus, Consciousness Until April 10th: The Sun continues to put a spotlight on your solar eleventh house. During this cycle, you are planting seeds for the future, dreaming up plans that you might begin to develop two months down the road, if they still seem viable then. You are more aware of the benefits of networking, and you might find some great ideas through others now. You might be working in a team now. You could be questioning some of the rules you have been living by and you could be ready to try something totally new. You are more attracted to that which is progressive or unconventional during this cycle. From April 10th forward: The Sun travels through your twelfth house now, marking a time of retreat and regeneration. Think about the attachments you have--to things, people, and routines--and consider which ones are dragging you down. This is a time when competitive energies and the ego are on a bit of a break. It's not the time to push ahead with brand new projects. Rather, it's a time of reflection, dreaming, and recharging your batteries. Situations that have naturally outgrown their usefulness in your life can now be put behind you. Endings of natural cycles may be part of the picture at this time of year. Your energy is largely applied to personal and private affairs now. Your disposition is introspective. Rest and reflect, and prepare for a more outgoing cycle when the Sun moves into your first house. Venus this Month: Love, Romance, Social Life, Comfort Until April 16th: Venus continues to transit through your solar twelfth house now. The twelfth house is a sector of endings, privacy, and mental health, and with Venus here, it's possible that you are reviewing your feelings for someone, or enjoying a more private love life for the time being. You may not be open with your affections for whatever reason now, and this shouldn't be a problem—it may be difficult to articulate, verbalize, or intellectualize your feelings for the time being. Doing some soul-searching as well as an enhanced ability to perceive other dimensions in love can lead you to a deeper understanding of your own love needs and possibly of a love relationship.

You are more likely to pay closer attention to your physical appearance and mannerisms, aiming to improve and enhance your attractiveness. Others find you especially agreeable and cooperative. You are more gracious, well-behaved (superficial if you are not careful!), and likable now. Take advantage! It's a time when you turn heads, and it's also a period for extra attention to pleasures, pampering, and enjoyment. Mercury this Month: Communications, Learning, Connections, Transportation This month: Mercury is transiting your solar eleventh house. Your mind is bright, alert, and active during this cycle, and you have the ability to come up with unusual and inventive ideas. Sharing your thoughts with others is a prime interest. Others tend to particularly enjoy your conversations during this transit--you are willing to listen as well as add your own thoughts. As well, your ability to grasp unusual subject matter and to intuitively understand what others are trying to say win you some brownie points! You could also do a lot of thinking and musing about your own happiness and long-term goals. Mercury is retrograde from March 22nd to April 15th: All Mercury retrograde cycles particularly affect you in terms of communications with lovers or children, and regarding financial affairs, because Mercury rules these areas of your life.

Speculation is not advised during this cycle. Occurring in your solar eleventh house this time, extra care should be used when communicating with friends. You may find that communications with friends or with groups can easily become sticky during this cycle. Group meetings may be postponed or cancelled, and friends may be uncommunicative or giving off mixed signals. On the other hand, old acquaintances may appear during this cycle, or you could be thinking about contacting an old friend. This may be a good time to do so. It would be wise to be especially clear when it comes to communicating with friends and associates during this cycle; or, better yet, take this time to rethink concerns and grievances before talking about them prematurely. Mars this Month: Energy, Drive, Courage Until April 24th: Mars continues to energize your solar eighth house. This is a less outwardly assertive or aggressive stage for you as you take the time to process recent events in your life and to develop strategies for going after what you want in the future.

The goal should be to purge and let go, responsibly, if you're seeking out or defending a truth now. Stubbornness can be a positive when it involves working towards an important goal, and counter-productive when you shut yourself down entirely to valuable alternatives. Watch for over-defending an opinion. It can be a good time for making significant changes to educational, legal, and travel plans, however. The Full Moon on the 29th is brilliant for recognizing the need to make changes, particularly in relationships, and for finding all the tools you need to apply them constructively.

About Our Monthly Horoscopes:
Our detailed monthly horoscopes are designed to reveal and interpret the current transits of the Sun, Mercury, Venus, and Mars in your solar chart. Because these energies or transits do not unfold neatly into any given calendar month (many transits carry forward from one month to the next), you will find some of the energies continue from a previous month. For example, the Sun might transit the second house of your solar chart from June 21 to July 22, so that you will find a similar interpretation for this transit in both June and July’s horoscope. This is normal and expected. Transits don’t suddenly change when the calendar month changes.
These monthly horoscopes also include an overview paragraph, as well as other energies specific to the month, such as retrogrades, eclipses, or major outer planet transits.
The Highlights section reveal lunar cycle dates. Lunar cycles repeat themselves approximately every 28 days, so it is normal to see the same lunar peaks, such as “Your Personal New Moon” and “Monthly career peak” repeat themselves from month to month, but with different dates. They serve as a helpful guide to cycle peaks in different areas of life, such as financial, career, romance, and partnership.
The horoscopes are divided into three groups or decanates, and the differences between the groups are subtle in parts and large in other parts! For those who prefer a whole sign approach to horoscopes, simply read the first decanate regardless of your birthdate.
