Taurus Monthly Horoscope: November 2018

Taurus (Born April 21 to 30) and Taurus Ascendant from 0 to 10 degrees Taurus:

November 2018 Taurus Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends

Overview.

The Sun this Month: Central Focus, Consciousness

Until November 22nd:

The Sun continues to put a spotlight on your solar seventh house--your partnership sector. This can be a time of much learning through the mirror of close relationships. It's not the time to push your agenda or personal plans forward; rather, it's a cycle in which you are at your best when you recognize the need to form alliances, to give back to a special someone, and to compromise in order to find some balance in your life.

It's a strong period for putting yourself into another person's shoes and to better understand him/her. You may be meeting with someone strong and assertive by nature now, or a partner is more assertive and needy of attention. There may be some competitive feelings between you and a significant other now. Focus is on reconciliation, forming or cementing bonds, diplomacy, consultation, one-on-one interactions, and negotiations. You may feel a little drained physically now, temporarily.

From November 22nd forward:

The Sun energizes your sector of transformation, change, sexuality, personal growth, regeneration, others' money and resources, addictions, and taxes. As a result, this is not the most gregarious of months for you. You take a step back, focus on intimacy with a partner, or simply retreat a little from the hectic pace of life. This is an excellent time to create a budget or financial plan, or to rid yourself of bad habits that undermine your sense of personal power and self-mastery.

All that is deeply personal comes into focus now. Intimate matters are especially important to you during this cycle. Just how well you are handling your life comes up for inspection. Your self-mastery skills and psychological predisposition matter to you more than usual. This is the time of year when you are most desirous of change on a deep level. Clearing out psychic "junk" or ridding yourself of bad habits may be part of the picture now. You are more willing than usual to explore life's secrets.

This cycle brings greater in-depth understanding and an inclination to delve beneath the surface of matters to get to the bottom of them. Research uncovers new material that allows you to develop a better overall picture of the year's events. This is an especially introspective cycle during which you have the chance to truly uncover your personal strengths and talents. On a more practical level, you may be dealing with joint finances and shared resources now more than usual.

Venus this Month: Love, Romance, Social Life, Comfort, Pleasure

Venus is retrograde from October 5th to November 16th Venus retrograde in general: As the planet of love and values, Venus retrograde periods are periods during which we re-assess what--and who--we value. It is a period that most astrologers consider inopportune for getting married or starting a new relationship. Major financial undertakings are not advised during this period as well. Venus retrograde cycles are good times for creating budgets and financial plans, and for re-thinking our personal relationships. Old friends and lovers may re-appear, perhaps complicating current relationships. We are called upon to deal with relationship issues from the past. Events occur that seem fated or predestined. It can be a real challenge getting close to a lover during this period of time. Unorthodox, experimental, and non-intimate relationships may be favored. Relationships that have been especially challenging may come to an end during this cycle. However, strong relationships will survive it, even if there are a few bumps and bruises along the way. For singles, this is a good time for "eyes wide open" or experimental dating. It is not a time when people recognize the need for another person to complete them, or some people may be questioning whether they are with partners who actually fulfill them. This period is good for re-evaluating our relationship needs; but, again, major love decisions are best saved for after the cycle ends.This Venus Retrograde cycle occurs in your sixth house of work, health, and habits. In addition to the general cautions outlined above, the social aspect of relationships on the job may be strained for the time being. Do your best not to let people get to you. The desire for warm relations on the job is strong, but the path to satisfaction hard to find. Schedule major beautification processes around this cycle if possible. There can be focus on healing and processing when it comes to health.

With Venus as your ruler, you are especially sensitive to all of the Venus Retrograde issues described above. Venus also rules your work and health sector, and the desire for satisfaction and warm relations on the job is likely strong now but hard to get. This is an excellent period for reworking your finances. Take your time when it comes to major decision making.

All month: 

Venus graces your solar sixth house now. Establishing a happy and harmonious work environment through friendly relations with co-workers or tidying up your work area comes into focus now. Romantic and social activities may revolve around your working environment. You are generally well liked and respected socially on the job right now. Some laziness is possible now, as you tend to associate pleasure with work! Perhaps you are socializing more than usual on the job. You have good team spirit during this cycle, and you are more tactful and obliging with your co-workers. You are less inclined to fall in love for the sake of love itself during this cycle. Your tendency is to consider whether it is clever to do so! You're most successful doing tasks that involve cooperation and team harmony. You could find that your talents or skills are especially appreciated. Romantic and social activities may revolve around your working environment.

Mercury this Month: Communications, Learning, Connections, Transportation

This month: 

Mercury transits your solar eighth house. You are more intuitive now than usual, picking up all of the hidden cues from people around you and reading between the lines. This is an excellent cycle in which to do some financial planning and strategizing.

Research is also highly favored. It's easier for you to approach sensitive, intimate, and personal matters with rationality and logic. As such, this is a great time to open up conversations about topics that normally might cause waves, such as those revolving around the sharing of power, intimacy, and finances.

Mercury is retrograde from November 16th to December 6th

While Mercury is retrograde, it's better to review, revise, and refine rather than push things forward, particularly related to communications, contracts, and transportation. Misunderstandings and delays are more likely.

Occurring in your solar eighth house this time, extra care should be exercised regarding any financial initiatives that involve shared resources. Delays are very possible when it comes to receiving support, loans, and taxes. It may be better to side-step arguments with loved ones that revolve around intimacy and sexuality just for now, or approach these matters with more sensitivity if they can't be left for a better time. Investments made now may not go the way you want them to, particularly those involving joint finances. It may be hard to rely on the input of your partner now, and money you were counting on may not be forthcoming. It's best to budget rather than spend during this period, and in fact it's an excellent period for review. It would be wise to be especially clear when it comes to communicating with financial officials and intimate partners; or take this time to re- examine issues rather than communicating about them prematurely.

All Mercury retrograde cycles particularly affect you in terms of communications with lovers or children, and regarding financial affairs, because Mercury rules these areas of your life. Your judgment with regards to personal finances (Gemini-ruled for you) as well as romantic partners and creative endeavors may not be up to par just now, so do avoid "signing on the dotted line". Speculation is not advised during this cycle.

Mars this Month: Energy, Drive, Courage

Until November 15th:

Mars continues to energize your solar tenth house now. You bring much energy, enthusiasm, and drive to your career or to directing activities in your life during this cycle. You may be quite competitive during this period, preferring to achieve and accomplish things on your own. This attitude can, in some cases, be seen by others as an instigating or otherwise offensive energy, so be aware of that possibility.

This is a strong time for directly pursuing your goals, and, if you need that extra push or oomph to get a plan going, particularly a professional one, or to assert your desires, then this is the time. You are self-motivated, and your enthusiasm can be harnessed if you so choose.

From November 15th forward:

Mars is energizing your solar eleventh house now. Group activities and cooperative efforts are the best way to achieve your goals right now. In fact, you have all sorts of ideas about what you want to do. Avoid allowing the ego to attempt to dominate others. You prefer to lead a group rather than follow during this period, and there are certainly ways to do so without stepping on others' toes.

As well, the best way to achieve your goals during this period is to work as a team, or to at least to do some networking. You may have more energy than usual to want to organize projects. Your humanitarian impulse may be stimulated. The role you play for other people in your life becomes the focus. You may feel that your schedule gets overloaded at this time with things to do (usually for others).

Overview Horoscope:

November 2018 Monthly Horoscope Summary for Taurus: Relationships continue to be an important focus for you this month, dear Taurus, and with your ruler, Venus, ending its retrograde cycle on the 16th, it's a time for rebuilding your connections and confidence.

While energies are not especially concentrated in November, there is some emphasis on your intimacy sector. Mercury (all month), Jupiter (from the 8th), and the Sun (from the 22nd) move through this zone of your solar chart, which rules regeneration, transformation, other people's resources (that affect you), and debts, both spiritual or emotional and material ones. There can be a stronger need for deep, rich, meaningful experiences, more attention to the power dynamics and intimacy level of a relationship, and a focus on your own needs for change, evolution, and self-mastery in November.

Jupiter has spent over a year in your partnership sector, and on November 8th, heads into your solar eighth house, staying there until December 2019. A new trend emerges that may bring financial gain, deepened relationships or more joy in an intimate relationship, and a generally easier time attracting support--moral, economic, or otherwise. Your relationship with yourself or with a partner can grow as you understand your deeper needs more fully and embrace the more hidden elements of your nature. The New Moon in December can get the ball rolling, but you may feel some of these effects now, particularly around the 25-27 when the Sun, Mercury, and Jupiter meet in this sector of your solar chart. The year ahead can be quite wonderful for your private life.

While the New Moon on the 7th is good for starting fresh regarding relationships, watch for impulsive moves at this time. Just before Jupiter leaves your partnership sector, it connects in an awkward aspect with Uranus, and the temptation can be to jump into or out of something hastily.

Venus heads back into your work and health sector and stays there all month, until December 2nd. However, Venus ends its retrograde on the 16th. This is a time for seeing areas of imbalance or dissatisfaction in your job or daily environment more acutely. The review you're doing now is necessary and is likely to lead to improved conditions in the long run. Particularly in the second half of the month, you'll have many opportunities to bring harmony to your everyday life. Confidence in yourself, your work, and your relationships builds as the month advances.

Uranus entered your sign in May and is retrograding back into the sign of Aries where it will finish up its transit of the sign over the course of the next few months. In March 2019, Uranus will return to your sign for a more consistent stay (lasting about seven years!), but for now, you have some unfinished business to manage.

Another significant shift happening in November is the North Node of the Moon's move into your communications sector, where it will influence all the way until May 2020. During this interesting cycle, some of the greatest joys - and challenges - are likely to emerge through learning, communications, and connecting. It's a time for developing your communication skills and for sensitizing yourself to others' needs and communications. This process will help release you from some of the nervous tension and pressure you've been feeling about learning and sharing with Saturn and Pluto long-term guests in your solar ninth house and help you achieve more happiness and inner balance. It can be a time to enjoy more lighthearted chats, connections, studies, and personal interests.

From mid-month forward, Mars transits your friendship sector. Mars has been transiting your career and reputation sector for longer than usual, and its move into harmony with your sign on the 15th can come as a welcome relief from pressure. Your social life is likely to be more animated now and until the end of the calendar year -- sometimes a little too much, perhaps, but certainly clearer and more straightforward.

Taurus (Born May 1 to 10) and Taurus Ascendant from 10 to 20 degrees Taurus:

November 2018 Taurus Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends

Overview.

The Sun this Month: Central Focus, Consciousness

All month:

The Sun illuminates your seventh house. At this time of year, you have a greater need than usual to be with a partner. Bouncing ideas off someone helps you to better understand yourself. A partner provides a mirror for your own self-discovery. Now is the time to realize your own potential through a significant other. During this cycle, you focus on balancing your personal interests and objectives with your social life, or with those of a partner. The emphasis is on "us" rather than "me".

You need the energies, companionship, and support of other people, and they may also seek out your support and companionship. It's important to include others rather than to go solo for the time being. However, bending too much to the will of another is not advised either. Social interactions of a personal, one-on-one kind are emphasized. Circumstances are such that your diplomacy skills are required. Your popularity is increasing, and is reinforced by your own ability to cooperate and harmonize. Your ego and pride are tied up in how you relate to others now. This may be an especially busy time for people who consult or work with clients one-on-one.

Occurring in your solar seventh and eighth houses this time, extra care should be exercised when it comes to negotiations, one-on-one communications, and any financial initiatives that involve shared resources. Be as non-judgmental as you can with a partner. There may be the need to revisit old issues in a partnership, or there could be some communication problems with a partner. An ex-partner may resurface during this cycle. Delays are very possible when it comes to receiving support, loans, and taxes. It may be better to side-step arguments with loved ones that revolve around intimacy and sexuality. Investments made now may not go the way you want them to, particularly those involving joint finances. It may be hard to rely on the input of your partner now, and money you were counting on may not be forthcoming. It's best to budget rather than spend. Misunderstandings with your partner now can do some damage if you (or your partner) focus on words said instead of the meanings behind the words. If you need to talk through problems, do your best to be as non-judgmental as possible, and don't over- react to what your partner has to say either. Mixed messages coming from a partner, or a disappointment, could occur now. You may not be as adept at mediating disputes for the time being, but it's a good cycle in which to improve your negotiation skills. Re-thinking a partnership arrangement is possible now, but you should avoid jumping to any premature decisions. It would be wise to be especially clear when it comes to communicating with partners; or take this time to re-examine issues rather than communicating about them prematurely.

November 2018 Taurus Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends

The Sun this Month: Central Focus, Consciousness

Until November 12th:

The Sun continues to spotlight your solar sixth house. This is a busy period that finds you tending to many different details of your daily existence--your work, various projects, organization around the home and office, your daily routines, and health matters. Your ego may be especially tied up in the work you do, so that you are proud and more creative than usual in your job. You may be in the position to take charge in your work, or to take charge of your health and diet. Sometimes this cycle relates to increased activities involving pets. You seek to perfect your skills or methods now, and you focus on the parts that make up the whole now in order to improve your daily life. As a result, you can be more critical than usual, but this process is necessary for you to sort out what works for you and what doesn't.

From November 12th forward:

The Sun illuminates your seventh house. At this time of year, you have a greater need than usual to be with a partner. Bouncing ideas off someone helps you to better understand yourself.

Venus turns direct on the 16th:

Venus continues to move through your solar sixth house now. This is a time when beautifying and/or bringing harmony to your working environment is a priority to you. You might find more opportunities to socialize with co-workers, perhaps even meeting a new friend through your work or health routines. You are likely to bring more tact and diplomacy to your relations with the people you work with now. You may not be as productive as usual during this period, as the focus is more on social relationships and pleasure than on getting the job done. Improving health and vitality through pleasurable activities such as massage might be in focus now.

Mercury this Month: Communications, Learning, Connections, Transportation

Mercury continues to transit your solar seventh house. You can be especially aware of your "audience" in your communications now, which tend to be diplomatic and respectful during this cycle. You may be encountering an especially chatty or communicative partner, or meeting youthful, talkative people.

At this time, you love to hear others' opinions and perspectives, and it's an excellent time to do so. Others can spur on your own thinking and decision making processes now, simply by offering another perspective. You are thinking a lot about others, a partner, and relating in general, and in some cases perhaps worrying over these things.

While Mercury is retrograde, it's better to review, revise, and refine rather than push things forward, particularly related to communications, contracts, and transportation. Misunderstandings and delays are more likely.

In March 2019, Uranus will return to your sign for a more consistent stay (lasting about seven years!), but for now, you have some unfinished business to manage.

Another significant shift happening in November is the North Node of the Moon's move into your communications sector, where it will influence all the way until May 2020. During this interesting cycle, some of the greatest joys - and challenges - are likely to emerge through learning, communications, and connecting. It's a time for developing your communication skills and for sensitizing yourself to others' needs and communications. This process will help release you from some of the nervous tension and pressure you've been feeling about learning and sharing with Saturn and Pluto long-term guests in your solar ninth house and help you achieve more happiness and inner balance. It can be a time to enjoy more lighthearted chats, connections, studies, and personal interests.

From mid-month forward, Mars transits your friendship sector. Mars has been transiting your career and reputation sector for longer than usual, and its move into harmony with your sign on the 15th can come as a welcome relief from pressure. Your social life is likely to be more animated now and until the end of the calendar year -- sometimes a little too much, perhaps, but certainly clearer and more straightforward.
