It’s time to get organized, Taurus! You might feel busier than ever with the Sun traveling through Libra at the start of the month. The next few weeks help you reflect on your ongoing commitments, priorities, and habits. If there are patterns you’ve wanted to break, this can help you make small incremental changes in your lifestyle. You might also take on more responsibility in your personal or professional life and setting boundaries becomes more necessary.
Conversations in your close relationships become more important once Mercury moves into Scorpio on October 6. Couples might discuss their five-year plan, and singles may consider whether or not they want to re-enter the dating world. Vulnerable and honest conversations with friends, family, and working relationships also take place.
On the same day, a Full Moon in Aries asks you to hit pause. You might move through the end of a cycle, learn some surprising news, or notice feelings you thought you dealt with resurface. This can be an emotional and exhausting time. Let yourself surrender to what you cannot control and trust that anyone or anything that’s exiting your life is creating space for new beginnings.
Support shows up when you need it most when Venus moves into Libra on October 13. If you’ve been working hard at work, you might also receive some overdue recognition. This can also show up as a raise. In matters of the heart, it’s the little things that matter. You want someone who has similar daily values and lifestyle as you.
You’re dealing with drama at work when Pluto stations direct in Aquarius on October 13. You could call out an unhealthy dynamic at work or push back against a micromanaging boss. If you struggle with taking up space or people pleasing, this is also an opportunity to disrupt those patterns.
Relationship issues begin to simmer beneath the surface once Mercury enters its pre-retrograde shadow period on October 21. You might dream of an ex or notice someone from your past like one of your posts on social media. You can benefit from reflecting on old relationship patterns and making healthy changes to how you show up in your connections.
Also on October 21, a new moon in Libra helps you make a new commitment. You could take on a new job or obligation in your personal life. Maybe you’re offering to help a neighbor twice a week or decide to volunteer. This is also helpful energy for changing up your morning and evening routines. Or maybe you adopt a fur baby! You feel like your dreams are starting to come true once Neptune Retrograde re-enters Pisces on October 22. The next few weeks help you face any illusions regarding some of your longterm goals and dreams. If you’ve put any friends or people in your social circle (or even on social media) on a pedestal, it’s time to confront that tendency, too.
Relationships are your focus once again when the Sun enters Scorpio on October 22. It’s possible the important people in your life are moving through life transitions and relying on you more for support. You might also want to take your own relationship to the next level. New professional contacts and ideas land in your inbox and mind.
By the end of the month, Mercury, the communication planet, moves into Sagittarius, shifting your focus to finances. You might come up with a plan to pay down debt or add to your savings. Putting finishing touches on paperwork and getting little things in order might also be more of a focus. Emotionally, you’re reflecting on your power and where you tend to give it away. You’re feeling ready to do some shadow work, heal, release the past, and embrace a fresh start.
