Taurus Weekly Horoscope

This week is asking you to slow down, Taurus, and take other people into consideration. Things have probably been more than a little hectic at the office recently while you’ve hosted messenger Mercury in Libra and your orderly 6th House, but that energy is changing on the 30th as Mercury waves goodbye to this efficient sector and dives into Scorpio and your 7th House of Partnerships and Contracts for its annual visit. This is generally a terrific time to focus on important conversations and getting helpful feedback, both in a romantic as well as a professional context. This can also stir up new opportunities for you to collaborate with fresh faces, regardless of the scenario, so if you’re single and looking to mingle then you should get out and play the field, and people looking for an agent or manager or some other professional partner will also have improved luck. Keep in mind, however, that Mercury will turn retrograde here near the end of October for three weeks, so avoid diving in too quickly to any new connections, and definitely read the fine print on any contracts, because you may need to do some reworking and revising down the line; the wisest thing you can do now is suss out your options, troubleshoot and evaluate during the retrograde cycle, then make real progress once Mercury turns direct in mid-November.

The next important event arrives on the 3rd, when your ruler, romantic Venus, turns retrograde in Scorpio and your 7th House of Relationships. From now until November 13th, you’ll need to be a bit more careful about whom you choose to align yourself with, especially if this is a brand-new connection, as relationships begun during Venus retrograde can easily fizzle out when you realize things aren’t what you thought. You should also be a bit more wary about how you interact with close partners, because miscommunication and misunderstanding is only too easy when the Goddess of Love is asleep at the wheel. Venus will back up into Libra and your efficient 6th House at the end of October for the remainder of this cycle, so your attention will likely shift to work matters, but take care of your closest connections for the meantime.

On Sunday, the Sun in Libra and your 6th House of Daily Work will form its annual opposition to sober Saturn in Ares and your sleepy 12th House of the Subconscious, where the karmic planet is slowly weeding out negative thought patterns and behaviors until it moves on come April 2028. On this day in particular, however, you might notice a real juxtaposition between what’s going on in front of you, and what you read between the lines. Perhaps things don’t seem to add up, or you keep encountering red tape everywhere you go when you were expecting open roads. Either way, don’t let this trend throw you for too much of a loop; the planets will move on soon enough and you’ll find your way forward without worry.
