Friday’s Pradosh carries a special link to Taurus. When the Trayodashi twilight falls on a Friday, it is called Shukra Pradosh, named after Venus, your ruling planet. Venus has been combust and retrograde in Libra, your sixth, and is now at its closest to the Sun, so this worship offers welcome support. The Moon spends the day in Pisces, your eleventh, with retrograde Shani, your yogakaraka, in Uttara Bhadrapada.




Shukra Pradosh and Your RulerVenus at its most hidden can leave Taurus feeling unappreciated in love and low on energy. Shiva worship at twilight on Venus’s own day is traditionally believed to restore both.




Light a ghee diya before Shiva and Parvati together, then sit in silence for a few minutes.




Relief in LoveOn Pradosh, Shiva and Parvati are worshipped as the ideal couple. Couples can pray together for patience while Venus is weak. A small misunderstanding from the past week may resolve if you apologise first.




Singles may find an old connection reaching out through friends, as the Moon is in your eleventh.




Health in the SixthVenus, the Sun and a stationary Mercury sit in your sixth house of health. A sore throat or tiredness may begin to ease after this weekend. Rest well and drink warm fluids.




Moon and Shani in the EleventhShani, your yogakaraka, with the Moon in the eleventh, supports steady income. Jupiter’s aspect from your third adds goodwill from friends.
