Taurus Weekly Horoscope

It looks as though you’ve been putting in a lot of effort at the office lately, Taurus, or wherever you go to earn your paycheck, what with the primal Sun working its way through your efficient 6th House of Daily Work and Routine for the last four weeks, but the good news is that you can lighten your load on the 23rd as the Sun slips out of this sector and moves into Scorpio and your 7th House of Partnerships and Contracts for its annual visit. Now that you’ve gotten yourself in order, it’s time to get in order with others and make something of yourselves together. This time can bring new romantic partners into your life or solidify existing bonds, but it can also be hugely impactful on professional relationships, as well. Reach out to possible collaborators and keep your eyes open for any potential dynamic duos looming on the horizon because the universe is encouraging you to partner up ASAP. Many hands make light work, so keep that in mind as you move forward with any projects right now because you could work half as hard and earn twice the profit if you’re smart.

The Sun won’t be alone in this sector, however; Mercury is also spinning along through your 7th House, helping you get clarity surrounding the important connections in your life. This can be great for romance and business alike, except that on the 24th, Mercury will turn retrograde until November 13th, creating confusion and miscommunication more easily than you’d prefer.

Mercury retrograde can be daunting, but that’s only if you don’t know how to handle it; the important thing is to remember the ‘re’ part: review, redo, reorganize, revisit, etc, etc, etc. Instead of trying to forge ahead with new projects and new partnerships, you should focus on refining and improving the old ones, and if you find that some cannot be improved or salvaged, then perhaps it’s time to move on. Even if you don’t consciously try to return to old projects, you can expect some will come out of the woodwork, so see what emerges and remember to take things slowly.

Speaking of retrogrades, Venus is also retrograde in your 7th House, but on the 25th she will back up into Libra and your responsible 6th House for the remainder of this cycle, where she too will eventually turn direct on November 13th. In the meantime, don’t be surprised if your usual 9 to 5 feels like a bit more of a drag; you may also feel a little burnt out during this time, so make sure you are getting plenty of rest and aren’t pushing yourself too hard. Get lots of sleep, eat well, and drink plenty of water while you’re at it! Exercise that also calms you, like yoga or swimming, can be especially helpful when it comes to dealing with this retrograde, so find peace where you can.
