Taurus Monthly Love Horoscope

Whiplash! April could find you craving fantasy-fueled love AND the call of freedom. From April 5 to 29, Venus is in Aries and your twelfth house of sweet escape and romantic illusions. Venus is here from April 5 to 29. Meantime, spicy Mars is in Pisces and your liberated eleventh house until April 30. One part of you wants to be swept away, while another side wants to savor the sweetness of sovereignty!

The confusing part of April: Figuring out which way your inner Bull should charge. You’re not a fan of being pulled in dueling directions like this.

With Venus in Aries, alongside an April 8 solar eclipse AND Mercury in reflective retrograde, you may be swept up in a romantic reverie. In some cases, you could be wondering, Is this too good to be true? The twelfth house is the domain of rose-colored glasses and clandestine affairs, so it could be hard to tell what's a figment of your imagination and what's actually unfolding as a legitimate reality. Don't stress too much about having to know "for sure"—part of the point is to surrender to what life and love are serving up. Just don't rush into a long-term commitment with someone you've only just met.

With a solar eclipse and Mercury retrograde in Aries, a lot of emotions could get stirred up this month. Figuring out what’s “theirs” and what’s “yours” in this department can be tricky. A partner's issues, including addiction, personal entanglements or a troubled family life, might seem like something you have to save them from, but they're not, Taurus. Pay extra attention to establishing healthy boundaries. 

No more making excuses for bad behavior! The April 10 meetup of Mars and boundary-hound Saturn can help you lay down clear expectations. When Jupiter and Uranus unite in Taurus on April 20, you could make a swift and sudden exit from a toxic situation that’s been draining you. Your confidence could also get a major boost.

When Venus moves into Taurus on April 29, you’ll have nearly a month (until May 23) to enjoy some sweet spring fever and the blossoming of a new romantic chapter. Just in time for Taurus season!
