Taurus Monthly Horoscope

Who are the people in your inner circle, Taurus? With the Sun in Scorpio and your partnership zone until November 22, collaborating with complementary souls can help you go farther. But choose wisely! Communication and technology planet Mercury is retrograde until November 13, which could cause misunderstandings to run rampant. Take extra care with people and be mindful of what you put into emails, texts or any other writing during this tricky time. Signing a contract? Read the fine print and run it by an attorney if you’re not sure.

When Mercury corrects course on the 13th, contracts and partnerships get back on track. A client deal or business collaboration that stalled can move ahead, but get every promise in writing before you sign with the lingering shadow period (AKA the “retroshade”) until November 30. An offer could come as early as the November 9 Scorpio new moon, but sit on it for a few days, if you can.

You’ll be ready to dive into the details on November 22, when the Sun slips into Sagittarius and your eighth house of joint ventures, long-term wealth and focus. Your powers of concentration will be mighty, so make up for lost Mercury retrograde time with some uninterrupted blocks of work and research.

The Gemini full moon on November 24 beams into your second house of income and security. Even better? Its alliance with innovative Uranus and powerhouse Pluto could bring a money-making opportunity through tech or a cutting-edge project. You could find yourself working with an influential figure or high net worth collaborator. They (or you) could act as a silent partner, since Pluto likes to work behind the scenes. Caution: Don’t get overly swept up in status or so impressed by someone’s credentials that you skip due diligence. Even if you feel mostly okay about someone, it never hurts to check under the hood!
