Taurus, October 2016

October begins with good vibes all around, thanks to your ruling planet, Venus, connecting with dreamy Neptune. Neptune is the planet of fantasy, and it's currently in intuitive Water sign Pisces. Venus, the planet of love and money, is currently in seductive, mysterious Water sign Scorpio. When these two planets connect, fairytale romance is in the air! This is a magical time for all of your relationships, Taurus, both romantic and nonromantic.

You'll be able to make some powerful connections on October 5 when Venus in Scorpio connects with transformative Pluto in Capricorn. Pluto is the lord of the underworld, the planet of change and transformation, and it's not always an easy energy to work with; it can be jealous and obsessive. But when it's sharing good vibes with sweet Venus—as it is today—it's easier for us take control over our emotions and exercise our power and influence. An exciting adventure will arrive today, and you'll certainly be getting much closer to the people you're dealing with.

On October 7, logical Mercury enters intellectual Air sign Libra, which will be awesome for helping you get organized. Collecting information about potential gigs or jobs is also favored at this time, as is working out a new wellness routine or sorting out a health issue. Libra is a fair, cooperative energy, so chatty Mercury loves being in this sign. People will be getting along, and you'll find that doing day-to-day shit is way smoother, whether you're making doctors' appointments or sending invoices.

While Mercury in Libra is helping you with your mundane tasks, the full moon in Aries on October 16 doesn't want you to forget about your dream world—literally. Take time to sleep, Taurus, or else you'll be exhausted as fuck during this full moon. You're processing a lot of feelings, so this is a great time to pick up a journal or find a trusted friend you can vent to.

Being responsible is huge this month, but we all need our vices and to break the rules once in a while. Do that during this full moon in courageous Fire sign Aries! Secrets are likely to come to light at this time, and plenty of surprises are in store. If you've been overworking yourself, the shit will really shit the fan at this time.

On October 18, your ruling planet, Venus, enters Fire sign Sagittarius, which will activate a very psychic, sensitive sector of your chart. Your intimate, sexual relationships will be a huge focus during this time. Not hooking up with anyone? You will be soon, if you'd like to. Also, expect your focus to shift to your finances, especially taxes, debts, and inheritances. Venus is the planet of balance and harmony, as well as love and money—finding a way to smooth out emotional and financial issues will be on the menu!

Venus in Sagittarius is busy at the end of this month, and days you'll want to watch out for include October 25 (when it clashes with hazy Neptune in Pisces), October 26 (when it meets with lucky planet Jupiter in Libra), and October 29 (when it meets serious Saturn in Sagittarius). When Venus and Neptune challenge each other on October 25, people will be a bit deluded—including you. Watch out for fake friends today. The vibe is sensitive, even weepy. Drama could pop up in your social circle because someone feels jealous or paranoid.

The energy is more helpful, but still over-the-top, on October 26 when Venus connects with the planet of growth and abundance, Jupiter. This is a good day to get shit done, and a debt may even be repaid!

A serious, sober energy takes over on October 29 when sweet Venus meets with taskmaster Saturn. The energy today is not cute or cuddly—it's mature and professional. Talking about commitment could be a good way to use today's energy; however, romance isn't really in the air. This isn't a day propose to someone, but the vibe would be useful for something like planning the date of a commitment ceremony with someone you've already done all the mushy engagement stuff with. Reworking a budget is another proactive way to use this energy—Venus is all about worth, and Saturn knows how to be frugal.

On October 22, the Sun enters Scorpio, highlighting the relationship sector of your chart, followed by chatty Mercury entering Scorpio on October 24, which will increase the level of communication between you and your partners. Scorpio is an intense, emotional Water sign, so I'm sure all the conversations you have at this time will be deep, healing and real.

If you're looking for a fresh start in your relationships, the new moon in Scorpio on October 30 will give you just that. This is an especially powerful time for a heart-to-heart. People will be mega empathetic and open minded at this time—even you, the so-called most stubborn sign in the zodiac!
