Taurus — Monday 11 May 2026

You told yourself this morning that you don't actually *care* who gets the credit. Let's have a look at that. **Things you'll tell yourself today that aren't true:** - "I'm not competitive, I just have high standards." - "I offered feedback because I wanted to help, not because their idea was slightly worse than mine and everyone should know that." - "I don't *need* the recognition. It would just be *nice*." - "I'm fine with how things turned out." - "I'm not comparing." The Sun and *Mercury* are both in *Taurus*, which means your thinking and your ego are currently occupying the same small room and refusing to acknowledge the smell. Then *Venus* sashays into *Gemini* — your opposite's element, light and sociable and completely unbothered by the results of anything — and something tightens behind your sternum. Someone else is being charming today with suspiciously little effort, and it's winding you right up. *Jupiter* in *Cancer* is quietly sextiling the Sun, which means things are actually going well for you. You are actually winning. You'd enjoy it more if someone would just *say so*.
