Note: If you know your Ascendant, reading your horoscope for your Ascendant will give a more accurate forecast.

Note: These horoscopes interpret the positions of Venus, Mars, the current New Moon cycle, and Eros relative to your sign. These cycles last longer than a week, and thus interpretations will not change from week to week until the factors themselves change signs.

Aries and Aries Ascendant: Venus is in Taurus, and your solar second house. You're at your magnetic best when you emphasize the secure and sensual side of your nature. Let others know they can depend on you. You could be a little extravagant with your spending now, especially if you are unhappy with your love life! Possessiveness (as long as it isn't taken too far) makes you feel secure just now. Mars is in Cancer, bringing heat, urgency, and vitality to to your home life. The tendency to rub people the wrong way now should be watched. A New Moon in Taurus on May 5th launches a cycle for you in which sensual pleasure and comfort levels are the focus. It's time to get in touch with exactly what pleasures and comforts you. In the long term, this will allow you to share yourself more sincerely with others in an intimate way, as you will be bringing a more self-assured "you" into your relationships. Eros is journeying through your communications sector from May 7th, and your style of communication boosts your magnetic powers. It's time to let your lover know what you want and what has been making you especially happy. Erotic talk works for you right now. You may be more inclined to write letters to your lover, or enjoy writing and reading erotica. For the time being, it may be difficult for you to turn your mind off during sex, making it difficult for you to simply "let go".

On Sunday and Monday, getting serious about a partner and/or your finances figures. Focus on finances Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday--get them into shape. Some tension on Tuesday is possible with a child or lover. Watch not to overstate or promise more than you can deliver on Wednesday. A partner/lover is focused on security matters and existing relationships tend to be solid this week; singles are likely to stay that way, as the energy of the cosmos is status quo.

 Taurus and Taurus Ascendant: Venus is in Taurus, and with Venus now in your own sign--a blessing indeed--you're feeling on top of the world. It's all about you, and you're paying attention to your image and mannerisms. You probably won't need to do much to attract attention, but anything that boosts your feelings of self-worth will help you benefit from this exciting transit. The rest of the world seems to be speaking your love language right now. Turn on the charm! It's a great time to exert your personal influence, as you are coming across as especially cooperative and graceful. Your people skills are above par. You have romantic energy working for you big time. Your love life is bound to step up a notch. It's a passionate time, although you are unlikely to be displaying a whole lot of self-discipline. Mars is in Cancer, bringing heat, urgency, and vitality to your communications, casual contacts, and everyday activities. A New Moon in Taurus on May 5th launches a cycle in which you, your mannerisms, and your appearance are the focus. This cycle is sure to give you a big boost of energy and your fair share of attention until the next New Moon on June 3rd. Eros is journeying through your solar second house from May 7th, and you feel sexier in an earthy way. You come across as more attractive when you feel secure, tended to, and comfy. Security actually turns you on now, and others will find your assertiveness in this area mighty attractive. You may be inclined towards more sexual possessiveness during this cycle, and "self-love" could increase along with a greater urge for physical satisfaction of your sexual needs. For the time being sexual intricacy is not as attractive. Your sexual nature is now rooted in the senses. 

Venus in Taurus gives you added appeal in a gentle way this week, and good situations seem to come to you. Venus attracts rather than pursues, and the power of attraction is with you--you don't have to chase anything or anyone just now! Sunday through Tuesday is particularly strong for romance in a stabilizing way. Wednesday could be a little sticky with a lover, but nothing you can't handle.

Gemini and Gemini Ascendant: Venus is in Taurus, the sign just behind yours, placing the goddess of love in your solar twelfth house. This cycle indicates that you're more attracted to secrets, whispers, and private affairs for the next while. Inspired and imaginative sexuality is on the agenda with Venus in your privacy sector. It's a cycle in which all that is hidden and private attracts. Until April 6th, you are bound to find love in hidden or unexpected places. Your dreams and intuition are telling you something—and it's magical. In love, it's best to avoid taking premature action. You're laying low, and that's just fine. Unconditional love is the way to go. You are called upon to be selfless, to help, to understand, and to serve. It could be hard to find satisfaction if you don't go this route. You are more impressionable now, and in the mood for secrets. This cycle could mark the beginning of a secret affair. Also, circumstances or your own reserve may prevent you from openly declaring or expressing your love needs. Love yearnings that cannot be fulfilled in any direct way arise. Hold off on decisions about love for now. Lay low, reflect, and enjoy. This is a quiet cycle that is part of a natural process. For some, it's a period of letting go in preparation for the Venus in Gemini cycle that begins May 24th. Mars is in Cancer, bringing heat, urgency, and vitality to your finances and desire for security and comfort. A New Moon in Taurus on May 5th launches a cycle in which privacy and recuperation are the focus. This is an especially spiritual cycle for you--a time when you renew your energy and consider what things are important to you, and what things have run their natural course. Eros is journeying through your own sign from May 7th, making this an exceptional period overall for romance and sexuality. We're all tuning into your romantic and sexual style, and this can feel pretty fabulous for you. Increased sexual activity and/or desire is featured in this Eros cycle. Opportunities for sexual fulfillment abound. During this cycle, you may easily and quickly become infatuated. Your sexual attractions are formed quickly, and you prefer to do the pursuing in relationships for the time being. 

Love is private and could involve some sacrifices this week. It's stable on Sunday and Monday, although Tuesday can be a little tense as you may not see eye to eye on the subject of romance and partnership. More romance in a partnership, or more companionship in a romance, are the topics now.

Cancer and Cancer Ascendant: Venus is in Taurus, placing the goddess of love in your solar eleventh house. Bring a spirit of friendship into existing partnerships, and if you are single, look for opportunities in groups and with or through friends. Friends are bound to lean on you a little, and it feels good. Remember that you are at your most magnetic when you're expressing your humanitarian side openly, schmoozing with friends, and enjoying group activities. It's all about friendship and camaraderie now. During this Venus cycle (which lasts until May 24th), you are bound to meet with people who share common ideals or purposes. Your especially friendly, cooperative attitude is an integral part of your charm this month. You need and want to socialize now. Differences and discordant tendencies between people you love are almost nonexistent during this period. This is an easy, flowing position for Venus. Take advantage of the smooth, magnetic energy by surrounding yourself with people. Mars is in Cancer, bringing heat, urgency, and vitality to your manner of self-expression. Mars is officially out of "hibernation" mode in your privacy sector and is now in your sign. This makes you hard to ignore! You're wearing your passions on your sleeve, and you're getting a lot of attention. You're prouder than ever, and you're likely looking for instant gratification! A New Moon in Taurus on May 5th launches a cycle in which socializing and networking are the focus. It's time to expand your social circle and to make more contact with groups and friends. Showing your authority and a "take charge" attitude is important now, but gentleness is important as well. Eros is in Gemini and moving through your privacy sector from May 7th forward. What goes on in closed quarters is what turns you on the most. Share a dream or a secret with your lover, and it's bound to boost your sex life! There may be a sexual lull in your life during this period. However, there is an equal possibility that you can improve your sex life by bringing more spirituality and fantasy into the picture. Unusual sexual fantasies, attractions, and dreams could feature now. Listen to what your subconscious is telling you in this regard. You may discover new facets to your sexuality if you do.

Love is mostly friendly this week, and focus is on getting along as friends rather than the drama of romance and partnership. Singles are best off attending group meetings or going out with friends if they are looking for love!

Leo and Leo Ascendant: Venus is in Taurus, placing the goddess of love in your solar tenth house. You are more attractive when you show your responsible, managerial, ambitious, and constant side during this Venus cycle. Having a steady and reliable sexual partner is especially attractive to you now. Don't phone in sick this month! Love can be found on the job, or erotic undertones may be in play. Socializing and making friendly contacts at work can help boost your career. Cooperation and a focus on harmony and understanding benefits you professionally or enhances your reputation and public standing. Attending an important social occasion or festivity may put you in the public eye as well. A romance or beneficial friendship that begins as a business alliance could be part of the picture. You may also feel you are married to your career right now because quite a bit of your energy is invested there and/or you love what you're doing at the moment. You may make a good friend or meet someone especially charming through your work. Mars is in Cancer, bringing heat, urgency, and vitality to your private life. The tendency towards pulling back or using indirect methods in order to go after what you want is strong during this cycle.

A New Moon in Taurus on May 5th launches a cycle in which career matters come to the fore. Feeling secure and comfortable on the job is important to you now and until the next New Moon on June 3rd. With the god of erotic love, Eros, in your sector of friendships from May 7th, the lines between friends and lovers could blur. You may be a little detached on a sexual level for the time being. You are more intrigued by the unusual, finding variety exciting in your sex life during this cycle.

The practical and professional side of love comes to the fore this week, and you are especially charming when you reveal your own sense of responsibility and devotion to career matters. Watch for a tendency to suspect others' motives on Tuesday, and miscommunications with a lover on Wednesday.

Do something you haven't done before, and you're more likely to attract who and what you want. Expressing your philosophical point of view is best right now. A deep discussion could take your heart forward by leaps and bounds. Different people (those who you don't normally consider your "type") attract you. You're looking for new and different people, and experiences. The exotic and the unknown now have more appeal to you than the familiar. Sharing your philosophical interests with a romantic partner may be especially appealing now. Mars is in Cancer, bringing heat, urgency, and vitality to your friendships. A New Moon in Taurus on May 5th launches a cycle in which self-expression and adventure are on the agenda. It's a good time to travel, learn, and do things you normally don't do. Eros is in versatile Gemini from May 7th forward, placing this sensual asteroid in your solar tenth house, and erotic undertones may be found on the job. You may also display more responsibility towards your sexual partners during this cycle.

You are craving just a little bit more from love and relationships this week, and your itch can only be satisfied by a dash of adventure.

During this cycle, it feels especially sexy and rewarding to keep secrets. Be a good listener, trust your instincts, and connect with your innermost desires.

You also display a stronger zest for life in general during this cycle. 

You are favoring intensity in your love life these days. Idle chit chat isn't enough. Watch for a tendency to read between the lines just a little too much for your own good, particularly on Tuesday.

Keep your eyes open. With Eros in the most intimate sector of your chart from May 7th forward, your magnetic appeal lies in your depth and ability to be intimate. It's all or nothing for you right now! Superficial and casual relationships simply don't cut the mustard. More deeply passionate expressions are now on the agenda.

During this cycle, you are most successful performing tasks that involve cooperation and team harmony. You are more likely to fuss over your lover and show your affection through practical gestures.

Eros is in your partnership sector from May 7th forward, opposing your Sun and putting sexuality on your mind more than ever. You need someone special (and perhaps a commitment) in order to feel truly satisfied. Your partner's romantic or sexual desires may throw you for a loop, but if you listen closely and non-defensively, you will learn a whole lot about your lover. Working on, or resolving to work on, relationships that are mutually supportive is a good idea at this time. If you find yourself sensitive to the feeling of lacking support from partners, this may be a good time to ask yourself how companionable you are, and work on developing yourself in this area of life. You might just find that this is a period when you are at your most gracious—as long as you are truly listening instead of reacting! Sexual activity is stimulated now, and your partner may be the one who is most turned on.

The practical side of love figures strongly for you this week, although that could change somewhat by Friday, when your romance planet enters fiery Leo and your solar ninth house.

Mars is in Cancer, bringing heat, urgency, and vitality to your close partnerships. "Heated discussions" with a close partner may be part of the picture for the next few weeks.

Aquarius and Aquarius Ascendant: Venus is in Taurus, and your solar fourth house. You are at your magnetic best when you listen to your gut feelings during this cycle. Your heart is with your home and family, and that's just fine. You don't need to hide yourself away, however. Emphasize your home-loving and nurturing qualities, and others will see you in a most positive light. This is an excellent cycle under which to bring more harmony and pleasant interactions to your relationships with loved ones. Beware of a tendency to wall yourself up. Mars is in Cancer, bringing heat, urgency, and vitality to your daily routines and work. A New Moon in Taurus on May 5th launches a cycle for you in which your domestic life takes top billing.

You have a bigger than usual appetite for sexual pleasures—and tremendous charm. It's time to have a little fun with your fantasies. As well, it's easier to find like-minded people during this cycle. Your sexual style is especially well-received. Your partner's desire for you is especially important to you now. You could be given to flirtatiousness and infatuations.

You are valuing down time and comfort in your relationships these days, but Mars entering the sign opposite yours on Friday could stir the pot from then and through to the end of June. Wednesday is exciting on a romantic level, although not necessarily stable or long-lasting.

Pisces and Pisces Ascendant: Venus is in Taurus, and your expressive third house--a pleasant place in your solar chart. During this cycle, talk is good—perhaps even great. Listen to others, express yourself, and get yourself out there. Communicate! Even if you feel like you want to be left alone, others will find ways to intrude. This is a period in which you can successfully use charm, flattery, and your sense of humor to make peace with others and to turn a few heads. This week, you have more opportunities to improve relations with relatives, and to socialize, especially in your immediate environment. You're expressing yourself with charm and grace right now, whether it's through what you say or what you write. Mars is in Cancer, bringing heat, urgency, and vitality to your romantic affairs and pleasure-seeking activities. This position of Mars gives you a big boost of confidence, and your personal magnetism runs high. To be appreciated, to be admired (adored, even) - that's what you crave. It's a time of creativity, drama, and passion; a time when grabbing the spotlight and stealing the scene gives you a thrill. Because you are very comfortable with your sexuality, you can help your partner overcome any sexual hang-ups they may have. A New Moon in Taurus on May 5th launches a cycle for you in which you are more communicative and busy than usual. This is a great time to present your ideas and to improve your communication skills. Eros is in your solar fourth house from May 7th forward, and you are most turned on in intimate, comfortable settings. Coziness makes you feel warm and fuzzy—and sexual. Quiet, intimate moments are most appealing. Intimacy and warmth are powerful stimulants for you during this cycle. You may be seeking to achieve psychic and emotional renewal through sex.

Chatting and lighthearted contact is most appealing to you on a romantic level this week. Love begins to settle down and become more intimate, however, and that works well for you. Some tough decisions on a relationship level need to be made this week, and conversation is important--keep the lines of communication open.

Overview

Venus is in Taurus all week.

Venus is in Taurus from April 30-May 24. In Taurus, Venus is quite content, and can be possessive. We seek security and value that which lasts. Our appetite for pleasure is strong. Taurus values the here and the now as well as the world of the five senses. Tangible and physical expressions of love and romance are most important now. Holding on to someone we love is our tendency under Venus in Taurus. The shadow side of this is excessive possessiveness and treating our partners as objects that we own or want to own.

Venus is in an Earth sign and Mars is in a Water sign until May 9th. Earth and Water are considered compatible elements, and this combination is rather easy and flowing. This combination is miles less contradictory than the Fire-Water combination we have been experiencing. Under this influence, we want stability and reliability in our relationships, but we also require emotional bonding and intimacy in order to feel fulfilled. Our partners are of immense importance to us, and we are generally quite helpful and kind to them. We are affectionate and sensual rather than wildly passionate. On the one hand, we can be dreamy and devoted, and other times we can be somewhat aloof, cool, and practical. We are at our best when we are encouraged by our partner—we need a lot of positive feedback—as well as when we know our partner trusts and respects us. We are loyal to a person who has won our heart. We go about getting what we want in life in an indirect manner, and we value all that is unspoken but understood in bed. We are very private when it comes to matters of the heart, and we want, more than almost anything, to always know where we stand with a partner. The goal with this combination of Venus and Mars is to achieve a good level of certainty without too much predictability in our romantic relationships.

With the New Moon in Taurus, a cycle that runs from May 5th until the next New Moon on June 3rd, it's time to enjoy life's simple, sensual, and physical pleasures--savor good food, and enjoy activities that bring us in touch with nature and with our bodies. It's time to stop and smell the roses, and to become more aware of what makes us feel comfortable and secure. This is a good cycle under which to re-evaluate our relationship with money and possessions, and to discover what truly makes us happy, secure, and fulfilled. With this potent Taurus energy, we have the chance to make important changes in our lives. How do we handle our personal finances as well as our shared resources? What makes us feel comfortable in our relationships? We need to recognize our own comfort levels before we can give ourselves to others intimately. We need to feel content in our own skin before we can share ourselves in healthy ways with a special someone. This cycle is a great time to get in touch with our own bodies and sensual needs. Taurus rules self-pleasure, and reminds us of the importance of getting in touch with our bodies. Otherwise, how can we pleasure others and derive true and deep pleasure from sex?

This week:

Venus forms a tense aspect with Uranus on Monday and Tuesday, and uncertainty about the desire to be close to someone is possible. Freedom versus closeness issues may need to be managed. A desire to experiment in the romance department may be fleeting and ultimately unsatisfying or frustrating.
 

Eros is in Taurus until Wednesday, May 7th, when it enters Gemini.

Eros in Taurus. ( in) until Wednesday, May 7th. Eros in the sensual, earthy, and solid sign of Taurus brings sensuality as well as possessiveness into our sexual styles. Sexual possessiveness can be exciting if it isn't taken to extremes. Unlike Eros in Aries, competition is not a turn-on under Eros in Taurus. Certainty is! We can be somewhat "primitive" in our desires and not especially attracted to too much sexual intricacy. Simplicity is the biggest turn-on. Although we tend to need plenty of physical contact with Eros in Taurus, self-love and masturbation is also a strong tendency. Steady, certain, and regular partnering is the goal. Our sexual natures are rooted in the world of the five senses. 

Eros in Gemini. ( in ) from Wednesday, May 7th. Eros in the chatty, sociable sign of Gemini brings a lighthearted and communicative quality to our sexual styles. Under this influence, we are sexually curious and interested. We like to be knowledgeable in sexual matters, and may be especially turned on by the written and spoken word. We may write letters to our lovers, or enjoy writing and reading erotica during this cycle. Because it is difficult for us to turn our minds off during sex, there is a voyeur within us during sexual expression, and it may be difficult for us to simply "let go". We may especially enjoy talking, and being talked to, during sex.
