Like last month you are delicately balancing between home and career. Both are demanding much attention. Both have to be handled properly. Normally at this time of the year you would be letting go of the career and focusing on the home and family. You would be gathering the forces for the next career push. But this year it’s not happening. Many exciting and happy career developments are occurring this month. It is like being woken up in the middle of the night by someone saying ‘get to the office, you’ve been promoted’. You are happy and will probably get up, but you’ve lost a night’s sleep. There is a price tag attached to this. The good news is that the family seems understanding and supportive of your career goals. Career progress could be behind a coming move.

Health needs more attention this month. A lot of planets are in stressful alignment with you. Do whatever needs to be done, but try to schedule more rest periods into your day. It might be good to invest in massages and spend some free time at the health spa. It will also be good to enhance your health in the ways mentioned in the yearly report. You can add to this by giving more attention to the stomach and diet until the 12th and to the heart afterwards. Women should give more attention to the breasts this month. Venus, your health planet, spends the month in the sign of Cancer until the 12th and in the 4th house from the 12th onwards. Emotional harmony and equilibrium (which come under the domain of Cancer and the 4th house) are thus ultra important to health. Keep your harmony at all cost.

This is a tumultuous kind of month with many shocks and surprises (many of them good, but good things can be as stressful, and time consuming, as bad things). This month the Solar Eclipse point of April 29 is getting re-activated by many planets. It is ‘as if’ we are having many ‘mini-eclipses’ – replays of the previous eclipse. The main re-activation for you is Venus’s transit from the 18th to the 20th. A nice easy schedule is called for (as far as you can manage). Mercury’s transit on the 5th and 6th affects finances and children, but this is a short-term disturbance. It follows a nice financial windfall during the 1st to the 3rd.

Family support is good all year, but especially from the 1st to the 3rd. Family connections are helpful this month too. Real estate seems like an interesting investment. On the 15th Mercury moves into Virgo and the financial aspects get much easier. There is luck in speculations and from work – both bring profits. This is a period for ‘happy money’ – money that is earned in happy ways. (Working can sometimes be fun too.) You are spending on fun kinds of activities, and are generally enjoying your wealth.

Love. What can we say here? Try not to make things worse than they need to be. Things should improve after the 23rd.

Health and energy started to improve on August 23 and the trend will continue this month. On the 14th Mars will move away from his stressful aspect to you. A lot of the negative pressure from the short-term planets is gone. If there have been health problems you should hear some good news this month. Enhance the health in the ways mentioned in the yearly report. Until the 5th pay attention to the heart; from the 5th onwards give more attention to the small intestine (diet is important then). With your health planet Venus spending the month in Leo and then your 5th house, the Horoscope is saying that happiness – fun and joy – are powerful healing forces this month. If you feel under the weather, do something that is fun. Keep the belly laughs going, and avoid depression like the plague.

There is great focus on health this month. Many planets are in Virgo (the sign of health) and your 6th house (the house that rules health). This is good news. You are on the case. You’re not letting little things develop into bigger problems.

This power in Virgo and the 6th house is also good news for job seekers. There is good fortune and many job opportunities.

Last month the planetary power made an important shift from East to West. At least 70 per cent (and sometimes 80 per cent) of the planets are now in the Western sector. Your cycle of personal independence is over for now. It will be much more difficult to change conditions and circumstances now. (It can be done, but with great, great effort.) It is best now to adapt to situations and make note of what displeases you. Then, when your cycle of personal independence returns, you can make these changes. For now you are living with the conditions that you yourself created, experiencing the karma, good or bad. You’ve had six months of developing your personal initiative and now the Cosmos is calling on you to hone and develop your social skills. It has its own ways of doing this, which are different for each person. Taureans in general have good social skills, but there is always room for improvement.

On August 23, as the Sun moved into your 5th house of fun and creativity, you entered another yearly personal pleasure peak. This continues until the 23rd of this month. A party period. Personal creativity will be stronger than usual too, and your ability to relate to children is enhanced. After the 23rd you enter a more serious, work-oriented period. This is a good time to do those menial, detailed, boring tasks that everyone tends to put off – your accounts, balancing the cheque book, filing, etc.

When Mars left your 7th house on the 14th of last month, love should have become a bit easier. Power struggles in love are never fun. But two eclipses this month will further test your relationship – as if you didn’t have enough of this already! Relationships that have survived the testing of the past two years will probably survive anything, but less perfect relationships will most likely founder. Taureans don’t like change, even if the change is ultimately good. They have a tendency to ‘hang on’ to things and sometimes the Cosmos has to use drastic measures to pry them loose. No one ‘hangs in there’ like a Taurus.

Two eclipses – one on the 8th and one on the 23rd – are the main headlines for the month.

The Lunar Eclipse on the 8th is relatively benign to you, but it won’t hurt to reduce your schedule anyway. It occurs in your 12th house of spirituality, signalling long-term changes in your spiritual practice, teachers and teachings. (Your spiritual planet, Mars, is ‘out of bounds’ all month, suggesting that you are going outside your normal boundaries in your spiritual practice – taking a less beaten path.) There are shake-ups and upheavals in spiritual organizations or charities that you are involved with. Every Lunar Eclipse will test your car and communication equipment and affects communication in general, and this one is no exception. Therefore it is a good idea to drive more defensively during this period too. This eclipse occurs exactly on Uranus, your career planet, indicating that important career changes are happening now. Even if you stay in the same career or job, the ‘rules of the game’ seem changed. There are dramatic events in the lives of parents, parent figures and bosses too. This eclipse also ‘sideswipes’ Pluto, your love planet, leading to more testing of a current relationship. Partnerships and friendships will also get tested.

The Solar Eclipse of the 23rd has a stronger effect on you, so take it nice and easy and avoid (where possible) stressful or risky activities. If you can, reschedule such activities for another time. The eclipse occurs in your 7th house of love and marriage. So, as we mentioned, a current relationship, a partnership gets tested once again. Every Solar Eclipse affects the home and family and this one is no different. Family members are apt to be more temperamental. Dramas happen with a parent or parent figure.

Health needs watching from the 23rd onwards. As always, the first line of defence is the maintenance of high energy levels. Thus rest and relax more. If you can, schedule in some massages or some time in a health spa; that would be wonderful. Enhance health in the ways mentioned in the yearly report, but in addition give more attention to the kidneys and hips until the 23rd, and to the colon, bladder and sexual organs afterwards. Detox regimes will be powerful from the 23rd onwards.

Love, as we mentioned, is being severely tested, but there is some good news here too. On the 23rd of last month you entered a yearly social peak, and this continues until November 22. There is a stronger focus on love and this focus – this drive – enables you to handle all the various challenges that arise. A given relationship might be problematic, but the overall love life is good – very active now. Marriage is still unlikely and still not advisable, but you can enjoy the ample social opportunities that are happening for what they are.

You have been personally more popular since October 23rd. You are going out of your way for others. You are there for your friends. You are more aggressive in love, going after what you want.

Health is still delicate until the 22nd. Review our discussion of this last month. You can enhance the health in the ways mentioned last month, but after the 17th give more attention to the liver and thighs. Regular thigh massage will be good. Health and energy will be much improved after the 22nd.

Finances are a bit more challenging this month. Mercury, your financial planet, is far away from his natural home, wandering in a far country. He is not as strong as he could be. Generally Taurus is most comfortable when focused on his or her own financial interests. But this month the Cosmos calls you to focus on the financial interests of others – to even consider them ahead of your own. As you help others to prosper, your own prosperity naturally happens. Also this kind of thinking will make any proposals you want to make much easier to sell.

The eclipses of last month are still being felt. Uranus, your career planet, is camping out on an eclipse point all month. Therefore career changes are afoot. There are dramatic changes in your company and industry and dramas in the lives of parents, parent figures and bosses.

Mars travels with Pluto from the 8th to the 12th and squares Uranus from the 12th to the 14th – a very dynamic transit. It further reinforces the career changes that we mentioned above. It also indicates a time to drive more carefully and avoid risky kinds of activities. (This applies to parents or parent figures as well.)

Mercury’s re-activation of an eclipse point from the 8th to the 10th creates a short-term financial disturbance. Try not to make it worse than it needs to be. It will pass.

Love is still unstable this month but there is much improvement happening. On the 24th Saturn will leave your 7th house. He has done his job. You have weeded out the good relationships from the mediocre ones. Your relationship has undergone the worst of the testing and your social life has been placed in right order. Along with this your love planet, Pluto, receives much positive stimulation after the 9th. In fact we could say that you are entering, from the 9th onwards, another yearly social peak.

Uranus is still camped out on the Lunar Eclipse point of October 8. So there is much career change happening. Much of this is good. The changes seem beneficial to you, although perhaps not pleasant. Between 80 and 90 per cent of the planets are above the horizon. The cosmic power is in the upper half of the Horoscope. Ambitions are powerful. There is much career progress and success happening. Mars crosses the Mid-heaven and enters your 10th career house on the 5th. The demands of your career are therefore strong and you are fending off competitors and rivals. You can enhance your career (and your public image) by getting involved in charity work or altruistic causes.
