Taurus Weekly Horoscope

This week begins on a note that feels both jarring and rather mysterious, so don’t be surprised if Monday leaves you uncertain of which direction to take. On the 6th, the Sun in Cancer and your buzzy 3rd House of Local Community and Communications will form a tough square to taskmaster Saturn in Aries and your sleepy 12th House of the Subconscious and Completions. If you’ve been letting yourself coast along then you might get called out for not doing enough to further your own development, or perhaps you look in the mirror and realize you need to have a talk with yourself about something important. This is a day for confronting reality and patterns, and it might not be all that pleasant. Take truths to heart but also take them with a grain of salt; if any sign can manage to do both, it would be you.

One day later, on the 7th, Neptune will turn retrograde in Aries and your dreamy 12th House, signaling a time when it will be easier to turn inward and cleanse yourself of emotional drama that has been following you around. This cycle can also be very inspiring and help refine your artistic and creative ideas, so don’t be afraid to answer if the Muse comes calling.This is also great for releasing baggage or old expectations about what you need in order to feel secure or at peace, so don’t worry that this is the kind of retrograde cycle you need to lose sleep over.

Next, on the 9th, your ruler Venus will leave Leo and your 4th House of Home and Family, where she has been rotating since mid-June. During this time, you had to orient a lot of your attention toward your nearest and dearest, but now Venus is leaping into Virgo and your 5th House of Pleasure and Creativity, giving you a wonderful chance to enjoy yourself for the next four weeks. Both couples and singles will benefit from this transit, so know you’ve got plenty to look forward to during the next month. This is also a very creative time for you, so don’t be afraid to let the Muse out to play, because you could produce something both lovely and lucrative.

Lastly, on the 12th, the Sun and your ruler Mercury will sync up at the same degree of Cancer and your buzzy 3rd House, making it a good day to tend to lots of little tasks that might have been stuck on the backburner. Since Mercury is retrograde it would be wise to focus on things you’ve already begun, as opposed to starting new projects, but if you’re strategic this could be a very productive day. You might also be rethinking your approach to your usual routine and daily patterns, so don’t be scared to try something different, provided you’re flexible in your approach and not too set on one particular outcome.
