Taurus (April 20-May 20)
October 2008
Do you feel like you're working all the time, Taurus? It’s not your imagination—you are! Even if you’re not physically toiling, your mind is going a mile a minute. Things are happening around you, and it’s harder than ever to find a stagnant Taurus these days. It’s a far cry from how 2008 started. That heavy, sluggish energy is a thing of the past for you. Who knew?
We know you’re ready for a vacation, but don't unroll your sleeves just yet. If you can make it to the third week of October, you'll get the long nap you've been craving. Until then, there's work to do. Some of it is plain-old “vanilla” admin stuff: going through papers, sorting, filing organizing, decluttering, and deep cleaning. With the Sun in Libra, ruler of your sixth house of health and organization, it's time to get your mind, body and life in shape!
Fortunately, you're a worker bee (albeit an indulgent one), and you kinda dig the long hours and sweat equity. You feel so productive, and it’s really satisfying. This energy trend started in August, so you're probably in the habit of long hours now. Taurus, you've become a well-oiled machine, in tune and on top of it all. Take pride in your persistence!
Your reward? A passionate new chapter of your love life. On October 5, sexy Mars goes into Scorpio, your seventh house of committed relationships. Mars will bring a burst of energy here, so go ahead and say “yes!” to the one you love. With romantic Venus in Scorpio until October 19, you've got a double shot of mojo working in your favor. Taurus, you could get engaged or meet “the One.” If you're already in a relationship, you'll feel your libido come back full force! Taurus, you're a lusty Earth sign as it is, so nobody will complain when your passion meter rises. Professional partnerships also fall under the seventh house's jurisdiction. Mars could bring you new job and business opportunities during this cycle, which lasts through November 26. Get ready!
On the downside, Mars moves at a faster pace than your plodding Earth nature really likes, so at times you could feel rushed or stressed. Tension with a partner could boil over, or you could simply feel stretched beyond your limits, while still trying to play provider. Don't force yourself to do something that doesn't feel right, Taurus. At the same time, don't let that “stubborn Bull” in you block opportunity or keep you penned in the safety zone. Sometimes, you've got to throw your hat over the wall, THEN figure out how to get it. If possible, wait until after October 15 to give anyone a final answer or commitment. Communications planet Mercury is retrograde (backward) in your detail-oriented sixth house. You're certain to have questions (and possibly nagging doubts) about what you're signing onto. Play out every “what-if” scenario before you agree to join forces with anyone.
In the meantime, take good care of yourself and stay tuned into your intuition. Exercise, healthy eating and body care will keep you connected to your senses and receptors, which always guide you. Moving around will also help you avoid picking fights with your mate just to stir up sexual energy--something you'll need to watch during this Mars period.
On October 14, a full moon falls in your mystical twelfth house. You could “download” a burst of divine guidance on or around this day. It will be a brilliant moment, and all your worries could be resolved when this insight hits you. This flash could come in the form of a strong, persistent feeling that leads you to action. For example, you could feel “guided” to eat at a certain restaurant or take a different route home. Follow your hunches. You might even want to meditate and see what comes to you, Taurus. If you're not sure whether to trust a person or situation, tune in at this moon and you'll get your answer. The twelfth house rules hidden agendas, so if you’ve felt that somebody isn’t really on your team, you may get confirmation. Cut out any backstabbers and walk away from draining drama queens.
On October 28, a Scorpio new moon illuminates your relationship sector. If you cut a negative tie this month, know that a brand new chapter is on the horizon. This moon joins forces with Mars, so you’ll be motivated to make a fresh start. If you're attached, you might even have a “make it or break it” moment with your partner, or a long-overdue fight to clear that air. Taurus, connect with your heartfelt passions and operate from there. In six months, your entire life could be a reflection of your true desires. Make your official start at this new moon.
