Taurus Monthly Horoscope

Letting go of what you know isn't easy, Taurus. But that's what April is here to teach you—and resistance is futile. With the Sun, Mercury retrograde AND a solar eclipse all sweeping through Aries and your twelfth house of closure, healing and endings, you’ve got some cosmic housecleaning to do. Clear the decks of what no longer serves you and make way for a new chapter.

Silver lining? By the time Taurus season begins on April 19, you’ll be ready to blast into a new level of personal success. A special meetup of Jupiter and Uranus in your sign on April 20 will add rocket fuel to your ascent. (More on that in a bit!)

The first three weeks of the month are your annual planetary palate cleanser. And it starts from the get-go since Mercury, the planet of communication, travel and technology, is retrograde from April 1 to 25. The quicksilver planet will reverse through Aries and your foggy twelfth house, which could make it hard to focus. You may be distracted by an intense trip down memory lane, or perhaps you’ll be especially nostalgic and sentimental. Roll with it, Taurus, and let yourself feel those emotions. Sweeping them under the proverbial Persian rug doesn’t mean they aren’t there.
