Taurus Weekly Horoscope

Your most intense partnerships are taking center stage this week, Taurus. First, on the 18th, Mercury will retrograde out of Sagittarius and your intimate 8th House, and re-enter Scorpio and your 7th House of Partnerships, where it will finish out the remainder of this sleepy cycle, finally turning direct on the 29th. Until then, certain connections could cause more confusion than satisfaction, and you’ll want to avoid signing any contracts or making any important agreements, as there is a very good chance you’ll be missing the bigger picture. Wait until December before forming any new partnerships or opening negotiations.

Despite this retrograde phase, the 20th features the annual New Moon in Scorpio and your 7th House of Partnerships, 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.

On the 21st, the Sun blasts into Sagittarius and your intense 8th House of Shared Resources and Lump Sums, which just so happens to be the most intense sector of the zodiac. Over the next four weeks, issues of what’s yours, what’s mine, and what’s ours could take center stage as you try to get a handle on all the loose strings in your life. If this sounds like an extreme phase, well, it is, but the planets are coming together to lend you a helping hand. You’re going to be benefiting from the eclipse for quite a while; this bountiful energy is going to be like rocket fuel for you, so do everything you can to push yourself further and harder than ever before and you could wind up in a whole new stratosphere the time the Sun moves onto Capricorn in a month.

Come the 23rd, just days after it enters Sagittarius, the Sun will make a potent and supportive sextile to Pluto in your career sector, stirring up your ambitions and inspiring you to accelerate towards your goals with a newfound passion and drive, so don’t be surprised if you find yourself more than ready and willing to roll up your sleeves. The work you do now could pay off massively down the line, so let them hear your roar.
