Taurus monthly horoscope

Apr 20 to May 20

Your month in a looking glass

Venus, your ruling planet, turned retrograde on October 3 and has been walking backward ever since, so October has felt like reading your own diary. It moved from Scorpio back into Libra on October 25, which took the question from your partner to your daily habits. First who you share the sofa with, then who does the washing up. The bright point came on October 26. The Full Moon fell in your sign and you finally said it, whatever it was. The Sun met Venus on October 24, and you may have seen someone more clearly than you liked. It was useful all the same. Mars in Leo is in your home corner this whole time, and the house has had a lot of noise and a few good dinners. Let the last days of October be small. Clean one drawer, ring one person, and leave the rest of it for Venus to sort out in November.

Next up: November 2026

Venus turns round in mid-month

The date to circle is November 14. Venus, your ruling planet, stops going backward that day, in Libra, in the part of your chart about daily work. For six weeks your habits have been under review. Now you get to keep the good ones. Before that, the New Moon in Scorpio on November 9 falls opposite your sign, in your partner corner, and it is a fine time for a fresh agreement with someone close. Mercury turns direct there on November 13, so a muddle clears up in the same week. Mars meets Jupiter in Leo on November 16, in your home corner. Expect something big around the house: a guest, a move of furniture, a very large dog. On November 28 Venus makes an exact friendly angle to Jupiter, and the home you fussed over all month finally feels like yours. Sit in the good chair. You have earned the good chair, and you were probably in it already.
