Taurus Weekly Horoscope

This week begins with the annual New Moon in Scorpio and your 7th House of Partnerships on the 9th, kicking off a whole new window of opportunity for couples and singles alike. If you already have someone special in your life then you two could enter into a great new phase of your connection, while singles have a terrific shot at finding someone who can go the distance where it matters most. Although this arena is definitely great for romantic relationships, it is also beneficial for professional partnerships as well as platonic connections, so this lunation can impact many different facets of your life; what really matters is that you are dealing with a situation where the two of you are on equal footing, or at least aiming for that. You could have some wonderful partnerships to show for your efforts come the corresponding Full Moon in six months.

Speaking of people, it wouldn’t be all that shocking if you’ve been having difficulty with a lover or partner, but happily there is a change coming that will bring your closest connections a lot of relief. On the 13th, messenger Mercury wakes up from its retrograde cycle in Scorpio and your 7th House of Partnerships. With Mercury asleep at the wheel here, it’s been all but impossible to get a clear read on the people in front of you, but that trend comes to an end as Mercury resumes forward motion. It might take a week or so for the winged messenger to fully get back up to speed, but clearer communication is coming your way.

In a similar vein, romantic Venus has been hitting the snooze button since the start of October, as she moved backwards through Scorpio and your relationship sector before backing up into Libra and your 6th House of Wellness and Work for the rest of her retrograde cycle. Venus normally likes to make our lives more enjoyable in whatever way she can, but for the last six weeks it has been more difficult than usual to find the silver linings amongst all the clouds on the horizon. This transit has been coming to an end within your 6th House of Daily Work and Routine, so if you’ve felt a little out of sync with your usual habits, or found that you have bumped heads with co-workers more than usual, it wouldn’t be all that surprising.

The 6th House is hardly very romantic territory, so this wouldn’t normally equal cupid’s arrow and hearts in your eyes, but it does deal with work and Venus also tends to deal with money, so there is more than a chance that your finances or earning power might have taken a hit during this phase. Fortunately, on the 13th, Venus will wake up from her slumber and begin forward motion once again, bringing her bounty with her; it will take almost a full month for her to get back up to her usual speed, and during that time expect to iron out any remaining wrinkles in your relationships as opposed to embarking on entirely new territory.
