Taurus Weekly Horoscope

The week at a glance

The Full Moon in Taurus on Monday, October 26 falls in your 1st house of self and how you come across. Full Moons bring things to a head rather than beginning them, and this one does it in your sense of yourself and how you land on other people.

Underneath that, Mercury, Venus, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune are retrograde all week. Here is where the slower bodies are sitting, counted from Taurus:

• The Sun in Scorpio — your 7th house. It is the month’s centre of gravity, and it sits there.
• Mercury in Scorpio (retrograde) — your 7th house. It routes the week’s messages, admin and second thoughts through it.
• Venus in Libra (retrograde) — your 6th house. It smooths it, which helps taste and diplomacy more than it helps effort.
• Mars in Leo — your 4th house. It pushes hard there — useful, and abrasive if nobody is warned.
• Jupiter in Leo — your 4th house. It is generous with that part of your life and has no sense of proportion.
• Saturn in Aries (retrograde) — your 12th house. It is slow, exacting and unimpressed by that part of your life just now.

The Moon through your week

The week starts with it in Taurus, in your own sign, which puts your mood close to the surface. Wednesday, October 28 takes it into Gemini, through your money and comfort zone. It shifts on Friday, October 30 into Cancer, through the talking part of your week. From Sunday, November 1 it moves into Leo, through home ground, where you can drop the performance.

Nothing else in the chart moves this quickly. The Moon is why Tuesday and Friday feel different even when nothing about your circumstances has.

Love and connection

Venus is in Libra, your 6th house of work, routine and health, so this week the week is made of ordinary work — tasks, habits, appointments, small repairs. Repair a routine rather than overhaul it: sleep, one meal, one recurring task.

Venus makes no exact aspect this week. That is not a dead spell so much as an unforced one — whatever happens here happens because you initiated it, not because the sky did.

Work and money

Mars is in Leo, your 4th house, which is where your effort will actually land this week — home, family and the private ground you stand on. Mercury in Scorpio puts the conversations and paperwork in your 7th house instead, so the thinking and the doing are aimed at different targets.

The Sun is still in Scorpio, your 7th house, which is the background theme for the whole month rather than just this week: nothing much resolves alone — the week runs through other people.

Wellbeing

The Moon does not touch your twelfth house this week, so there is no built-in rest window. You will have to make one. Energy tracks the Moon this week: it peaks around the Full Moon on Monday, October 26. As an earth sign you will keep going long past the point the body asked you to stop; treat rest as part of the work, not a reward for it.

Dates that matter

The week has a few fixed points. These are they:

• Monday, October 26 — Sun square Pluto. They pull at cross purposes, and the friction is the point rather than a fault. It connects your 7th house (partnership and other people) with your 10th house (career and public standing).
• Wednesday, October 28 — Sun quincunx Uranus. They never quite line up, which shows as a nagging sense of something being slightly off. It connects your 7th house (partnership and other people) with your 2nd house (money, values and self-worth).
• Friday, October 30 — Mercury square Mars. They grind against each other, which is uncomfortable and productive in roughly equal measure. It connects your 7th house (partnership and other people) with your 4th house (home, family and roots).
• Sunday, November 1 — Sun quincunx Saturn. They sit at an angle with no natural resolution — you adapt rather than solve. It connects your 7th house (partnership and other people) with your 12th house (rest, endings and the inner life).
