Taurus Weekly Horoscope

Communication and relationships are the focus for you this week, though you may feel like you need to put in a little bit of extra effort to understand all the messages heading in your direction. Firstly, on the 11th, Jupiter will turn retrograde in Cancer and your 3rd House of Local Community and Communications until next March, backtracking through your social sector where it has been operating since June. Jupiter is all about bringing new opportunities your way and expanding your horizons, so it is possible you’ve been extra social recently, meeting new people and discovering new places that have become your favorite haunts since then. Now, however, you can spend more time getting to know these people and familiarizing yourself with these places as Jupiter starts slowly moving backwards. The good thing is that Jupiter retrograde is not the kind of retrograde phase you need to worry over, but rather one that will give you time and opportunity to make the most of the bounty it has already brought into your life. Plus, Jupiter is at its absolute best when in Cancer, so this energy should remain pretty positive, regardless of whether Jupiter is moving forward or back.

The 12th could bring some extreme issues to the table, perhaps regarding an important relationship or even some financial matters that require your attention. Retrograde Mercury is going to conjunct action planet Mars in Sagittarius and your 8th House of Deep Bonding and Shared Resources, which is just about the most extreme sector of your chart, and rules over everything from sex to death to taxes. With Mercury moving backwards, you want to be especially careful regarding any of these matters, and avoid stirring up any new energy or action around these matters, but Mars is trying to push you forward to create positive progress, even if you are still looking over your shoulder to see what Mercury is up to. This is the kind of moment to play it safe and avoid stirring the pot, and if you are in the mood to throw your money around, it would be wise to avoid it until Mercury has turned direct once again.

The 12th also includes a powerful Half Moon in Leo and your domestic 4th House of Home and Family, so it’s more than likely you’ll find yourself in something of a nesting mood. Make this day a quiet one if you can, but if you feel like socializing then do it under your own roof and invite some people over for a pleasant evening at Chez Taurus. Chances are they’ll be more than happy to come and enjoy your hospitality and company; whether this is a big to-do or just a small get-together is entirely up to you, but remember that with Mercury still retrograde, it will be best to keep things casual and avoid any expectations or concrete planning.
