Taurus Weekly Horoscope

The week at a glance

The First Quarter in Sagittarius on Friday, September 18 falls in your 8th house of shared money, depth and change. Quarter Moons are decision points rather than turning points — a nudge to adjust rather than restart.

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

• The Sun in Virgo — your 5th house. It is the month’s centre of gravity, and it sits there.
• Mercury in Libra — your 6th house. It routes the week’s messages, admin and second thoughts through it.
• Venus in Scorpio — your 7th house. It smooths it, which helps taste and diplomacy more than it helps effort.
• Mars in Cancer — your 3rd 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 Libra, through the working hours, useful for grinding through a list. Monday, September 14 takes it into Scorpio, through your dealings with other people. It shifts on Wednesday, September 16 into Sagittarius, through the private, undiscussed material. From Saturday, September 19 it moves into Capricorn, through the part of you that wants a bigger horizon.

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 Scorpio, your 7th house of partnership and other people, so this week nothing much resolves alone — the week runs through other people. Have the one-to-one conversation, or put the agreement in writing.

Venus squares Pluto on Tuesday, September 15 — they pull at cross purposes, and the friction is the point rather than a fault. That is the day the romantic weather of the week is set, whether you are choosing it or reacting to it.

Work and money

Mars is in Cancer, your 3rd house, which is where your effort will actually land this week — conversations, messages, learning and local movement. Mercury in Libra puts the conversations and paperwork in your 6th house instead, so the thinking and the doing are aimed at different targets.

The Sun is still in Virgo, your 5th house, which is the background theme for the whole month rather than just this week: the pull is toward pleasure, creative work and being seen enjoying yourself.

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. The Moon reaches your sixth house of routine and health on Monday, September 14, which is the natural day to deal with the appointment, the admin or the habit you have been avoiding. Energy tracks the Moon this week: it shifts around the quarter Moon on Friday, September 18. 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

6 aspects perfect this week. These are the ones with enough weight to notice:

• Monday, September 14 — Mercury trine Uranus. They flow together, which makes this a good day to attempt the thing you assumed was hard. It connects your 6th house (work, routine and health) with your 2nd house (money, values and self-worth).
• Monday, September 14 — Sun sextile Mars. They cooperate, but quietly — this one passes unnoticed if you are not looking for it. It connects your 5th house (romance, creativity and play) with your 3rd house (talking, learning and short trips).
• Tuesday, September 15 — Venus square Pluto. 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 10th house (career and public standing).
• Tuesday, September 15 — Venus quincunx Neptune. 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).
• Wednesday, September 16 — Neptune sextile Pluto. They cooperate, but quietly — this one passes unnoticed if you are not looking for it. It connects your 12th house (rest, endings and the inner life) with your 10th house (career and public standing).
