Taurus Weekly Horoscope

This week is anything but calm and quiet, Taurus. Mercury is turning retrograde on the 29th in Cancer and your 3rd House of Local Community and Communications, where it will continue to hit the snooze button until July 23rd. Mercury just so happens to naturally rule the 3rd House, which is easily one of the most outgoing sectors of your chart, and can be very busy and very buzzy as it deals with lots of little interactions and appointments that keep you plugged-in to the world around you, so things could get rather confusing while Mercury is asleep at the wheel.

Try to stay on top of your plans even when other people can’t, but if you have trouble keeping your eye on the ball for the next few weeks then don’t worry, you’re far from alone. Keep in mind that you’ll benefit more from returning to old connections rather than trying to create new ones, so don’t worry about building new bridges when you could be strengthening the ones you’ve already established. Likewise, give yourself plenty of time when going anywhere, and don’t rush anything, because accidents or detours are more prone to happen during this complicated cycle.

The 29th also features the annual Capricorn Full Moon. This Full Moon will be occurring in your 9th House of Expansion and Adventure, so if your world has been feeling a little limited lately then consider this your cue from the Universe to search out some more wide-open spaces, literally or metaphorically. This same sector rules higher education, so if you’ve been thinking about returning to school or enrolling in a lecture series of some kind, now is the perfect moment to bone up on a few topics that could add to your own innate value.

The 29th has one more act to perform, as bountiful Jupiter enters Leo and your 4th House of Home and Family, bringing its bounty to your front door for the first time in over a decade. Jupiter will be spinning through Leo until next July, so you have a whole year to make major improvements and changes to your home life, whether that’s your familial relationships or the literal structure of your house. Perhaps you decide it is time to seek out a new place to live, and Jupiter will ensure you love the options available to you. Jupiter tends to expand anything it comes into contact with, so don’t be shocked if Chez Taurus feels like a major arena for the next thirteen months.

On the 4th, we witness one of the most erratic transits in all of astrology; action planet Mars will align at the exact same degree as rebellious Uranus, sending a hectic shockwave throughout the Universe. These planets only meet up like this once every two years, and with them doing so in Gemini and your 2nd House of Earned Income and Material Wealth, you might have a bit of a shock on the financial front, but it doesn’t have to spell disaster. What can look like a crisis can actually be an opportunity, so try to look at things with a fresh take rather than trepidation; there’s room for all kinds of responses to this energy, but why not try to take the high road?
