Overview

The main reading

Dear Taurus, as the Moon moves into Taurus, your mantra for the day is self-reliance. Today, contrary to your extrovert nature, you wish to be left alone, away from family and friends. This is owing to the gloomy effects caused by the transit. You value your close ones but you realize that your most significant decisions are to be made by you only. Be responsible for your decisions and courageous enough to face their consequences. Astroyogi astrologers suggest you focus on decision-making and trust your instincts. Today, yellow will prove lucky. The time between 4:00 pm and 5:00 pm is auspicious.

Love

Romance and relationships

If you are in a position of wanting to marry for the second time, then today will be a fruitful day for you. You may have lost hope that another marriage could be possible for you, but your next partner could come from the most unexpected of places! It may be that a friend who finds himself or herself unexpectedly single again starts making interesting proposals to you.

Career

Work and ambition

Today you may find there is some upheaval in your office, with people changing roles and hierarchies being turned on their heads. Just try to remain calm, as it will only cause some minor and temporary disruptions to your work flow. Your job today is to exercise some restraint in your workplace and remain focused on the long term outlook of your position there. Don`t sweat the small stuff.

Finance

Money and resources

Today to make profit you should partner with someone from abroad. You`ll find that if you chose the right partner your finances improve dramatically. Make sure you know who you are partnering with and be very open and realistic about the terms of the partnership, but go ahead with it at this time. Foreign parties and foreign markets can bring you lucrative contracts at this time.

Health

Body and energy

Heart patients will have to turn to exercising to turn their health around. Those of you dealing with weight problems are also likely to see some improvement in your weight and health. Do yourself a big favour by undertaking some exercise today and then make it a regular routine. You will surely notice the benefits. Women should take better care as they are prone to injuries today.
