Taurus Weekly Horoscope

The first notable angle of the week arrives on the 5th with a Taurus Half Moon, reminding you to take stock of your life and your goals and make sure everything is in alignment. This is neither a planting period nor one for harvesting, but simply a time to check-in. Where do you stand on the road to your goals? Are you further along than you’d like, or have you fallen behind? It’s time to do what you must in order to get yourself to where you want to be, so focus on what is missing or standing in the way, and begin strategizing.

The 6th brings an important changing of the planetary guard as your ruler, loving Venus, exits Virgo and your 5th House of Passion, and moves into Libra and your 6th House of Work and Routine for the next four weeks, smoothing out your daily life and giving your financial flow some relief. During this cycle, you’ll find more enjoyment in your work, even if you normally like to avoid it like the plague, and people will prove more helpful than usual, so you don’t need to do everything by yourself. This is also a great time to start a new workout routine or healthy eating initiative, and since Venus loves to indulge herself wherever she goes, don’t be shy about splurging on some new athletic gear or that high-tech juicer you’ve had your eye on. If it will help you live a healthier life, then it is worth it!

The 6th also includes one of the two annual trines between the Sun and Saturn; the Sun is currently in Leo and your foundational 4th House of Feelings and Family, while Saturn is sliding through Aries and your spiritual 12th House of the Subconscious. This alignment is especially good for letting go of old emotional baggage or toxic behavior that no longer serves you, or finally releasing any angst or anger that you have been holding on to for no good reason. You may also decide to do some cleaning around the house and get rid of literal clutter that is mucking up the space and energy.

On a different note, messenger Mercury has spent the last couple of months marching back and forth through Cancer and your buzzy 3rd House, a potentially confusing period that included a very complicated retrograde cycle, but fortunately that is all over and in the past. On the 9th, Mercury will pack up its bags and settle into Leo and your domestic 4th House for the next couple of weeks, turning your attention to everything going on under your own roof. This is a wonderful time for getting things done around the house, but also enjoying more fun times there, as well; this is a great period for hosting more parties or get-togethers, so don’t be shy about rolling out the red carpet!
