Taurus Weekly Horoscope

This week ushers in an interesting mix of letting go and starting fresh, of checking out and checking in, so don’t be shocked if it feels like you’re on mental vacation one day, only to hit the ground running the next. Mercury has spent the last couple of months in Pisces and your 11th House of Social Networks, which was a longer tour than usual thanks to the fact that Mercury was retrograde for part of that cycle, making things rather complicated within your friend groups or with other circles you participate in, but that is now firmly in the rearview mirror.

However, before you blast off into the future, you need to make a review of all the information you have acquired over the last calendar year or so, because on the 14th, Mercury slips into Aries and your sleepy 12th House of the Subconscious for the next couple of weeks, effectively turning your reality into a slumbering dreamland. Mercury is not at its best when occupying the 12th House, as it can be difficult to see the full picture or formulate any clear plans, but this is very good for creative and artistic projects, as Mercury can tap into new wells of inspiration in this fantastical house. This is also very good for deciding what aspects of your life are no longer serving you, and establishing the best way to remove them or release them, so that you can eventually move into the future with greater clarity when the cosmic communicator does eventually enter your sign down the line.

This emphasis on your 12th House continues on the 17th with the annual Aries New Moon. New Moons are all about initiation phases, which might seem a little odd given the fact that the 12th House is largely about endings and letting go, but really this is a powerful opportunity for you to do some major healing and detoxing. We’ve gone through a really difficult last couple of years, and chances are they have brought some very stressful experiences to your front door. Use this time to try and cleanse yourself of any anger or resentment that has built up in you, so you don’t carry unnecessary baggage into the future. By the corresponding Full Moon, you can be in a place of terrific mental health.

The weekend arrives with some very different and very lively energy as, on the 19th, the Sun exits Aries and your sleepy 12th House and dives into your sign and your 1st House of Self-Expression and Action for the next four weeks, giving you a wonderful cosmic boost forward. This is your birthday season for a reason, after all! During this cycle, you can put your desires and aims front and center so don’t think this isn’t the perfect time to pursue your dreams, even if things have been more than a little complicated recently. The world will begin to open up to you over the next few weeks in ways that it hasn’t in a very long time, so you can truly make magic happen.
