Taurus Weekly Horoscope

Dear Taurus, you’ve been on a worldly pleasure cruise ever since Mercury entered Virgo and your outgoing 5th House for its annual stay. Hopefully you found time to enjoy yourself on more than one occasion because there is a major shift in the energy overhead on the 18th as Mercury waves goodbye to this sector of your chart and moves on to Libra and your efficient 6th House of Daily Work. For the duration of this cycle, the universe wants you to streamline your program of getting in shape, both mentally, physically, and spiritually. You can also experience more ease and support at the office or wherever you go to earn your keep, with people more willing to lend a helping hand whether you need it or not. You can also suss out more work opportunities with Mercury here to help you out.

Next, on the 19th, your ruler Venus will leave Leo and your 4th House of Home and Family, where she has been rotating since the summer. During this time, you had to orient a lot of your attention toward your nearest and dearest, but now Venus is leaping into Virgo and your 5th House of Pleasure, giving you another wonderful chance to enjoy yourself for the next four weeks. Both couples and singles will benefit from this transit, so know you’ve got plenty to look forward to during the next month. This is also a very creative time for you, so don’t be afraid to let the Muse out to play, because you could produce something both lovely and lucrative.

The 21st is a red-letter day, as the skies will host the Virgo New Moon Solar Eclipse, which will amplify all the gorgeous energy emanating out from your fun-loving 5th House of Passion and Expression. This is actually the second Virgo New Moon in a row, so certain themes that kicked off in August with the first one may be coming around for a second-look, but since this lunation is also a turbo-charged Solar Eclipse, you can expect it to usher in a lot of wonderful opportunities and experiences in the days and weeks to follow. Lead with your heart, and the stars will do the rest.

However, the 21st includes one other potent angle, as the Sun will form its once-a-year opposition to sober Saturn, putting the brakes on just about everything. While everyone can expect there to be a fair share of roadblocks on this day, for you in particular it might seem that your efforts to enjoy yourself are unhappily rebuffed by people around you. On the other hand, you could have a disagreement with the people you normally consider your closest friends, and feel rather out of sorts about it. Remember, however, that this is only temporary.
