Taurus Weekly Horoscope

The spirit of Mother Teresa is shining on you this week, Taurus. With the full moon in Libra lighting up your altruistic sixth house, you'll feel called to practice random acts of kindness wherever you go. The question is: Will you give the world service with a smile or with a snarl? Although this full moon amplifies your helpful nature, it will be forming intense angles to warrior Mars, restless Uranus and shadowy Pluto. As much as you want to pitch in, this trio of planets pulls you in a more independent, even escapist, direction. It's all too easy to saddle yourself with obligations trying to be a good friend or dutiful relative and then seethe with resentment when you get sucked too deeply into the role of the rescuer. It's uber-important that you set up boundaries for your giving, Taurus. Nurses work on shifts, after all, and being the 24/7 caretaker or support staff for your peeps will quickly exhaust you.

Beyond that, if you don't get away and tend to your creativity and your need for fun, your relationships could become majorly strained. Regulate your generosity, giving in sweet and selfless spurts. How about organizing others to pitch in too so no one feels zapped by obligation? This is where your stellar project-management skills come into play. Get the chore chart posted!

Your health comes under the spotlight during this full moon, too, so it's extra important that you eat well, sleep adequately and exercise this week. If you've been lavishing your body with loving care for the past six months, you'll feel some real rewards under this week's lunar light. Treat yourself to a new pair of skinny jeans or a body-skimming spring dress with sexy cutouts. You worked hard for those abs, Taurus, so show them off in a bandeau top before the '90s-inspired trend disappears faster than you can say Club MTV (Google it, Millennials).

If your winter was spent indulging in top shelf whisky, tip-to-tail pork dishes and artisanal chocolate, this full moon suggests you scale back on those gourmand indulgences and start wrapping your food in romaine lettuce instead of applewood-smoked bacon. Given the harsh opposition of Mars and Uranus, you could get a not-so-friendly wake-up call from the planets to step up your game in the self-care department. Creaky knees, decreased energy, last spring's dresses that just won't zip…don't send yourself into early retirement by putting hedonism above healthy living. You might just get addicted to a new form of exercise in the coming two weeks, especially if you weave in a spiritual and a social component. Yoga in the park with your besties beats another prix-fixe brunch hands down this week, Bull.

The sixth house governs your day-to-day work, and your efforts of the past six months could finally culminate in a tangible and profitable way. Ready to boost your income? Circulate your resume or put your name in the hat for a promotion. You'll have lots of lunar oomph supporting your ascent. Just don't shout from the rooftops your intention to rise through the ranks. With the Mars-Uranus face-off, you'll have to be more strategic, even secretive, about the moves you make. This might even feel like a back-alley deal in some ways—not that we suggest shaking hands on anything shady. Unfortunately, someone is going to be disappointed in the process of this transaction, and you'll want to minimize the blow by keeping things on the down-low for a spell.

The other wrench in the works comes from Pluto, which forms a challenging square to Wednesday's full moon. Pluto forces you to pace yourself in work matters and cautions you to avoid taking shortcuts in your quest for better health (no extreme diets, please). A long-distance contact may try to interfere with your ambitions, or you may have to hop a plane for work, but in a way that's more inconvenient than exciting. Try to turn it into an adventure nonetheless, Taurus, by remaining curious and open to the new people you meet along the way.
