The Taurus horoscope Oct. 11 arrives with a new moon at 0 degrees Scorpio, landing squarely in your seventh house of partnerships and close one-on-one relationships. The moon shifts from Libra into Scorpio at 11:21 a.m. ET, according to Astronomy Engine planetary position data, marking the exact start of this lunar reset. With Mercury and a retrograde Venus already camped out in that same house, today asks you to look hard at the people you are bonded to, whether by love, contract or habit.
New moons mark beginnings, and this one is not subtle about where it wants your attention. The seventh house governs partnerships of every kind, from marriages to business deals, and a 1% illuminated moon there suggests a relationship chapter is closing just as another opens. You can track the exact phase and illumination details through NASA’s moon phase guide, which explains why new moons feel like fresh starts across every sign.
Venus, your ruling planet, is still retrograde in Scorpio at 7 degrees, which keeps this partnership house complicated rather than celebratory. If you want a refresher on what your Venus placement usually says about how you love, the breakdown at how to find your Venus sign is a useful starting point before you read today’s tension as something larger than it is.
Love And Relationships
Venus retrograde in Scorpio squares Mars in Leo today, an aspect that can turn quiet relationship questions into direct confrontations. Mercury sits in the same Scorpio degree range, so conversations with a partner are likely to go deep fast, possibly past the point you intended. The new moon in this same house makes today a legitimate marker for recommitting to a relationship or admitting one has run its course, but Venus retrograde argues for sitting with that decision rather than announcing it immediately.
Single Taureans may find an old connection resurfacing, a common pattern during a Venus retrograde in a partnership house. Treat it as information, not an invitation to rush back in.
Career And Money
Jupiter and Mars both sit in Leo today, lighting up your fourth house of home and family rather than your career sector directly, so the pull toward domestic matters may be stronger than the pull toward the office. Pluto remains retrograde in Aquarius in your tenth house of career and reputation, a slow-moving placement that keeps long-term professional power plays simmering in the background rather than demanding action today.
Uranus retrograde in Gemini continues to sit in your second house of money and self-worth, a reminder that financial instability this fall has been building for a while and is not something a single Tuesday will resolve.
Health And Wellbeing
The Sun remains in Libra in your sixth house of daily work and health routines, and with Neptune retrograde in Aries also occupying your twelfth house of rest and reflection, today favors quiet recovery over ambitious new fitness plans. Scorpio energy from the moon, Mercury and Venus can make emotions run heavier than usual, so give yourself permission to rest if the day feels draining. Talk to a doctor or other health professional before making any changes to a medical or fitness routine.
Taurus Tip For Sunday
Use this new moon to write down, privately, what you actually want from your closest relationship rather than raising it in conversation today. Venus square Mars suggests reactions will run hot, so let the new moon’s intention-setting energy guide a plan you can bring up calmly once Venus stations direct.
