Taurus Weekly Horoscope

In case birthday season isn’t festive enough, playful Mercury zips into Taurus this Saturday with a formal announcement that it’s time to circulate. From now until May 25, you’ll be at the center of every buzzing hive as the socially nimble planet fires up the people-loving part of your personality. As a cautious Taurus, your M.O. is to think things through—thoroughly—before you utter a word. But with the mic-dropping planet whispering in your ear, you can be confident that what you say will align with how you really feel. No more tamping down emotions and playing nice to avoid offending anyone. Mercury in your sign can lead to animated debates and even battles of the will, but they can be averted if you decide ahead of time that you’re not going to take anyone’s bait. And then you get to make like a Taurus and resolutely refuse!

While this will be a candid few weeks, you’ll also have opportunities to seriously grind on a project that needs your focus. Find the time and commit to finishing the parts that need your undivided attention. If you need to consult with a more experienced person, choose wisely. And the same goes for how much you share. You don’t have to give away confidential intellectual property to get outside input. And if this involves truly sensitive material, get people to sign a nondisclosure agreement.
