Taurus — Saturday 9 May 2026

You're going to lose a board game this afternoon and spend the next two hours pretending you didn't really care about winning. You did. You always do. Taurus has a competitive streak it refuses to acknowledge, mostly because the whole *brand* is serene, immovable, someone who's simply above all that. The person quietly tracking who got more pizza slices and making a mental note for next time — that's you. **Venus in Gemini** is the real aggravation today. Your planet, off flirting with ideas and people and whatever's shiny in the other room, leaving you feeling vaguely abandoned by your own desires. You want the satisfying thing, the definite thing, and Venus is currently off somewhere writing a different version of the plan on a napkin. The **Sun and Jupiter** are in a comfortable sextile — genuinely good energy, actually, a rare moment where effort pays off — but you'll probably waste it nursing a grievance about the board game. Mercury in your sign has you thinking in straight lines. The problem is straight lines don't always lead where you think they do. **T-shirt:** *I wasn't even trying.*
