Venus, your ruler, spends the whole week in your seventh house and on Tuesday at 05:46 takes an exact square from Pluto in your tenth. This is the week in which pressure at work spills into your relationships. And on Friday Mercury moves into opposition with Saturn — the conversation about workload that has been building for a while.
The mood of the week
The Moon crosses three signs. From Monday 09:45 she is in Scorpio, on Wednesday at 19:42 she moves to Sagittarius, on Saturday at 07:56 to Capricorn. For you that is the seventh, eighth, and ninth houses: first the partner, then what is shared and the money in it, then meaning and distant plans.
The Moon waxes all week: from the third lunar day on Monday to the ninth on Sunday. The first quarter falls on Friday at 23:45, the Moon at twenty-six degrees of Sagittarius and the Sun at twenty-six of Virgo — the moment when what obstructs your beginning becomes visible.
The Sun runs through the last week of Virgo, from the twenty-second degree to the twenty-eighth. Mercury crosses Libra from the sixth degree to the sixteenth, Venus crosses Scorpio from the third to the sixth, Mars crosses Cancer from the twenty-second to the twenty-fifth.
Four planets are retrograde all week: Saturn at thirteen degrees of Aries, Neptune at four, Uranus at six degrees of Gemini, Pluto at three degrees of Aquarius. Which means no large question closes for good this week — whatever gets settled will be revisited.
Where it lands for you
Venus in the seventh house until early October makes partnership the subject of the month. This week she passes its sharpest point: the square to Pluto in your tenth house. The mechanism is simple and recognisable — what happens to you at work you carry home and present to the wrong person.
Mercury is in your sixth house, Saturn in your twelfth. Their opposition on Friday at 12:56 is the collision of the volume of tasks with an exhausted reserve. You will see that the list does not fit inside your strength, and it will be arithmetic rather than a feeling.
The Sun is in your fifth house to the end of the week: there is still room for pleasure in the schedule. Its sextile to Mars in your third house on Monday evening is a good starting point, light and conversational.
Uranus in your second house has been unsettling your usual income all year. This week it takes no exact aspects, and that is good news: money is quiet, Tuesday aside.
Day by day
Monday the 14th. Before 09:45 the Moon is void — begin nothing. At 14:35 the Moon meets Venus in your seventh house: the best hour of the week for a conversation with someone close. At 15:16 Pluto squares them. At 23:21 the Sun's sextile to Mars gives a foothold.
Tuesday the 15th. Peak tension: the exact Venus-Pluto square at 05:46. A hard morning; leave relationships and status alone. At 17:38 the Moon squares Jupiter in your fourth — an evening for over-promising around the house.
Wednesday the 16th. A steady day: the Moon trines Mars at 05:32, the Sun sextiles the Moon at 06:31. The morning works. At 19:42 the Moon leaves for Sagittarius, into your eighth house.
Thursday the 17th. The best background of the week: a sextile to Pluto at 01:25, a trine to Neptune at 02:08, a sextile to Mercury at 18:16, a trine to Saturn at 20:48. A day when things run themselves.
Friday the 18th. A trine to Jupiter at 06:03, Mercury opposite Saturn at 12:56, first quarter at 23:45. A day of decisions and refusals.
Saturday the 19th. The Moon is in Capricorn from 07:56, in your ninth house. A square to Neptune at 14:21 blurs the afternoon; a sextile to Venus at 18:29 returns the warmth.
Sunday the 20th. The Moon squares Saturn at 09:01 and Mercury at 15:50. The ninth lunar day, heavy by feel. Rest rather than clear backlogs.
Love and closeness
Monday from two to three is the best hour of the week. The Moon with Venus in your seventh gives a rare alignment: you are ready to speak and the other is ready to hear. Everything deferred for a month fits in there.
Tuesday: do not touch it. Venus square Pluto from the tenth means you would be talking to your partner on the fuel of work anger, which they did not earn.
Thursday evening is the window for repair. The Moon's sextile to Mercury and trine to Saturn give a calm tone and the ability to hold a boundary without resentment.
Work and money
Wednesday morning and Thursday are the working core of the week. Those are the two days for anything that requires other people to agree.
Do not open a conversation about status, promotion, or authority yourself this week. Pluto in your tenth under Venus's square on Tuesday turns any such subject into a contest, and retrograde Saturn guarantees the outcome gets revisited anyway.
Friday is about workload. Mercury opposite Saturn will show that you are carrying more than fits. That is a reason to shorten the list, not a reason to prove you can manage.
Health and energy
Saturn and Neptune in your twelfth house, both retrograde, are a chronic background of tiredness with no visible cause. This week it sharpens on Friday, when Mercury opposes Saturn.
The waxing Moon lifts you from Wednesday to Friday. Those are the best days for any load you plan.
The weekend, under squares to Saturn and Mercury, is a time for quiet. A Taurus finds that easier than most: use it.
How this week differs from last
Last week ran on a waning Moon and ended at the new Moon: everything was closing down. This one is entirely waxing, and what is begun now survives to the end of the month.
The second difference is that Venus has entered your seventh house. Last week relationships were background; this week they are the subject, and they stay so until early October.
What not to confuse
On Tuesday it will seem the problem is your partner. The square comes from the tenth house, which means the source is work. The check is simple: recall what happened in the working part of the day just before you wanted to settle accounts at home.
On Venus in your seventh house, specifically
Venus stays in your seventh house until early October — a rare and on the whole good month for a couple: you are drawn to the other person, and it shows on both sides. But Venus is crossing Scorpio rather than a gentle sign, so closeness this month arrives through directness rather than comfort. For a Taurus that is unfamiliar: you prefer good to be quiet. This month good will be honest, which is a different thing.
What to do this week
Say the main thing on Monday between two and three. And on Friday shorten the list instead of proving you can carry it.
