Taurus: Forecast for October 2001

(NOTE: if you know your rising sign, read that sign too, for a balanced forecast. Go to Forecasts)

Attention to Detail

The Sun continues his journey through Libra and your sixth house of health until October 23rd, emphasizing your mental and physical well-being. Improving your appearance may benefit your career, especially around the Full Moon on the 2nd. If you need to make a presentation or if you are up for a performance review, it's a good time to get a haircut or buy a new suit. Attention to detail will benefit you, so be sure to clean under your fingernails! The last week of October shines light on your love life. With the Sun lighting up your seventh house of partnerships, it's time to do some old-fashioned courting. Even if you are already in a committed relationship, wining and dining will be a good investment.

Mercury Retrograde

Mercury turns retrograde in Libra and your sixth house of health and service on October 1st, urging you to reflect on your health and your employment situation. This is a wonderful month to improve your mental and physical health, but you must guard against nervous tension. Make a special effort to eat right and exercise regularly to keep your delicate system balanced. You should be able to improve your employment situation after Mercury turns direct on the 23rd, when you are finally able to act on career enhancing ideas. Test your theories on a trusted ally who can help you implement them. Read more on Mercury Retrograde!

Affairs of the Heart

With Venus lighting up your fifth house of romance and creativity for the first two weeks, many of you will be bitten by the love bug. Everything can seem new again, and a sense of childlike wonder can prevail. Artists are given a boost by this transit, so take advantage of the effects of the muse. October 2nd and 3rd should be especially rosy as Jupiter gets in the action; you may be feeling remarkably generous and beneficent. Those with children will find spending time with them rewarding, so don't let this chance pass you by. Even those with teenagers can forge better relationships with them now. After October 15th, Venus helps improve relationships with your co-workers and urges you to take better care of yourself. If you play your cards right, you might see a raise in your earnings by the end of the month as a result of your ability to be a great team player.

Career Issues

Neptune turns direct on October 17th and Uranus follows suit on October 30th, helping career matters to move forward. Those of you who have been unsure about employment or career choices will find greater clarity towards the end of the month; many will be interested in pursuing education related to career ambitions as Mars activates your ninth house of higher learning. Those of you who are struggling with image and reputation will want to be taken more seriously; the changing workplace requires that you be as flexible as possible at this time, so practice letting go of old-fashioned ideas.

DAILY FORECASTS

Oct 1: Snarl Ups

The next three weeks may bring snarl ups at work and troubles with your health, as Mercury turns retrograde in your sixth house. You'll need to pay attention to detail more than ever. Double check everything and get second opinions as the Winged Messenger goes astray... this is not a good time to begin anything new as misunderstandings and confusion reign. Fortunate colours are navy blue and pure white. Lucky numbers are 5 and 14.

Oct 2: Full Moon

You may be feeling uneasy as the Full Moon activates your twelfth house of hidden matters; this is a good time to reflect upon the events of the past six months. Spend time recharging your spiritual batteries as the days ahead will require great strength from you... you'll need to have faith to stand tall for what you believe in as you move forward. Favourable colours are midnight blue and sunset pink. Lucky numbers are 3 and 12.

Oct 3: Dreams

Don't be surprised if you have strange dreams now; subconscious issues tend to come to the surface when the Moon transits your twelfth house. Many of you will also experience psychic phenomena at this time... as grounded as you are, sometimes it isn't just your imagination. Pay attention to your intuition as it is not likely to lead you down the wrong path. Beneficial colours are lavender and silver. Lucky numbers are 21 and 30.

Oct 4: High Gear

The Moon travels through Taurus and your first house of personality today, helping you get into high gear. You'll have extra charm, so don't hesitate to ask for what you want. Express yourself with confidence, even in the face of opposition. There may be hurdles to overcome, but with classic Taurean persistence, you can reach your goals. Auspicious colours are white and cherry red. Lucky numbers are 1 and 10.

Oct 5: Constructive Criticism

A personal relationship may be the subject of debate today, so listen to what your partner has to say. Even if you feel very strongly about the matter, the only way to iron out your difficulties is by talking things out. Be open to constructive criticism and take the opportunity to express your own concerns. With a little effort, you can work things out. Advantageous colours are crimson and pearl. Lucky numbers are 19 and 28.

Oct 6: Creative Bulls

The Moon enters Gemini and your second house of personal finances today, inspiring you to get some work done. Gemini rules the hands, so you may find enjoyment in manual work. The Bull often enjoys using his or her hands for profit, including such professions as massage therapist, chef, and florist. It's time to heal and create! Fortunate colours are sage green and copper. Lucky numbers are 2 and 11.

Oct 7: Industrious

You'll be industrious today as the Moon continues through your second house of values. The energy flows and you'll find that work comes more easily, as you are better able to concentrate. You can make a good impression in the office today, so take advantage of this. Later in the day, you may feel more like socializing... consider making plans for tomorrow night. Advantageous colours are terra cotta and ivy green. Lucky numbers are 4 and 20.

Oct 8: Practical Taureans

Be as practical as possible as your finances fluctuate; you don't want to count your eggs before they hatch but in an unpredictable economy, you don't want to be too conservative, either. This may be a good time to buy stock in something you've always wanted, especially if the prices have come down. You could be worth a fortune in the future! Fortunate colours are silver and gold. Lucky numbers are 8 and 17.

Oct 9: Out And About

The Moon travels through Cancer and your third house of communication today, urging you to get out and about. Most of you will have a hard time getting any work done today; you'll have many phone calls and e-mail to distract you. Tonight is wonderful for getting together with friends... perhaps a costume party or community event will appeal to you. Favourable colours are baby blue and banana yellow. Lucky numbers are 5 and 23.

Oct 10: Neighbourly Bulls

The Moon continues through Cancer today, helping you to feel more neighbourly this afternoon. If the weather allows, take a walk in your vicinity. Do you know the names of your nearest neighbours? Our modern society has forgotten the importance of community. Even if you don't care to socialize with those in your patch, it's important to know who they are. Advantageous colours are sunny yellow and sky blue. Lucky numbers are 11 and 14.

Oct 11: Snuggle Pot

The Moon moves through Leo and your fourth house of home and family, encouraging you to snuggle with the ones you love. There's no need to push yourself today, especially while the Moon opposes Uranus. You may need to be patient with your family as some may need your support, due to career troubles or disappointments. Count your blessings and enjoy the simple things. Beneficial colours are sea green and oyster. Lucky numbers are 4 and 15.

Oct 12: Level Headed

You may wish you had stayed in bed as the Moon opposes Uranus, making this a frustrating day. You can save the day with practical thinking, so don't allow others to confuse you. Keep a level head as you navigate the day, taking everything one step at a time. An erratic supervisor, teacher, or other authority figure may give you grief. Remember that two wrongs don't make a right! Favourable colours are pearl white and lavender. Lucky numbers are 22 and 24.

Oct 13: Indulgent Bulls

The mood lightens today as the Moon moves through Virgo and your fifth house of romance and pleasure. It's a good day to take a long lunch with a friend. It is important to indulge yourself a little today, even if it is something as small as enjoying a chocolate or two. All work and no play can make a Bull very miserable, so be sure to reward yourself for all your hard work and trouble. Auspicious colours are pale gold and royal purple. Lucky numbers are 5 and 10.

Oct 14: Enthusiasm

The Moon and Mars harmonize to create an atmosphere of enthusiasm today. Creative endeavours that also have a practical purpose move forward, including artistic pursuits and the teaching of children. It is a good day to get a lot of work done yet have fun at the same time. Find ways to incorporate fun into your routine today, putting a smile on your face and the faces around you. Fortunate colours are bronze and amber. Lucky numbers are 19 and 33.

Oct 15: Get Organised!

The more tidy and efficient you can be today, the more successful you'll be. Organize important papers so you're not trying to find them at the last minute; you'll be embarrassed if you are caught unprepared. Eating right, getting moderate exercise, and sticking to a sensible sleep schedule will go far in helping you to get ahead in life. Auspicious colours are navy blue and light tan. Lucky numbers are 6 and 23.

Oct 16: New Moon

With the New Moon activating your sixth house of health and service, it's time to evaluate your daily habits. How long has it been since you last flossed your teeth? Have you been getting regular exercise? Your work environment is also an important consideration. Advantageous colours are steel grey and ice blue. Lucky numbers are 42 and 44.

Oct 17: Being There

The Moon clashes with Neptune, making this a potentially stressful and even confusing day. Someone you care about could be struggling with depression, so try to be patient. Your calm and steady presence will be soothing. You don't really have to say anything... just be there. If you are struggling emotionally, take time out for a walk in nature. Beneficial colours are soft peach and pale yellow. Lucky numbers are 16 and 34.

Oct 18: Nervous Energy

Nervous energy reigns as the Moon and Uranus unite - take a long lunch in a peaceful setting if at all possible. Those of you who work independently may still find plenty of stress to deal with in your environment. As Roseanne Rosannadanna used to say, 'It's always something!' Spend healing time with your partner this evening and the troubles of the world will seem to melt away. Beneficial colours are chocolate brown and cream. Lucky numbers are 25 and 36.

Oct 19: Pay Attention

The Moon moves into your eighth house of sex, money and power today, urging you to go deeper in intimate relationships. It's time to listen to what others have to say, so pay attention to both what is said and what is not said. Singles may feel like going out on the prowl; this is fine, but be on the lookout for those who would take advantage of your kind nature. Auspicious colours are wine red and bronze. Lucky numbers are 9 and 18.

Oct 20: Big Issues

Those of you in intimate relationships will find that your partner wants to talk about big issues today. Go ahead and open up... while the Sun is in your house of partnerships, communication is vital and healing. It is better to work on issues now rather than wait, because in about two weeks, you may not feel like listening any more. The same holds true for business partnerships and friendships. Fortunate colours are forest green and burgundy. Lucky numbers are 19 and 26.

Oct 21: Fresh Air

Enjoy a breath of fresh air as the Moon leaves your eighth house and enters Capricorn, lighting up your ninth house of travel and adventure. You can have a marvellous time tonight trying something new, so don't be afraid to explore the cuisine of an exotic restaurant! For those of you who are homebodies, why not try renting a foreign film tonight? Like Water For Chocolate or Babette's Feast are two you might like. Favourable colours are olive green and khaki. Lucky numbers are 30 and 33.

Oct 22: Soaring High

If the weather permits, this is the kind of day for flying kites. Imagine that it is you soaring above the clouds as you guide your kite through the air; imagine what sort of freedom you would have if you could fly! While you're at it, don't be afraid to dream of a better future for yourself. Get outside and do something exhilarating, even if it is just taking a walk down a garden path. Beneficial colours are golden amber and russet. Lucky numbers are 7 and 17.

Oct 23: Highlights

The Moon continues to trek through your ninth house, urging you to make plans for tomorrow. The ninth house also rules writing and publishing... have you considered writing your memoirs? You don't have to be famous to pen the highlights (and low lights) of your life; consider doing this for your children, as diaries and journals are often the most treasured possession of grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Fortunate colours are burnt orange and chocolate brown. Lucky numbers are 21 and 29.

Oct 24: Muse

Many of you will be visited by the Muse today as the Moon connects with Neptune in your tenth house of career and status. Use this time to brainstorm, as your ideas are likely to be inspired. Creativity is high today, especially in the more technical fields. Problems can be solved more easily if you walk away from them for while. Take a walk in the park for a new perspective. Advantageous colours are desert sand and ruby red. Lucky numbers are 18 and 26.

Oct 25: Live Wire

Tension is high today as the Moon joins forces with Uranus, fostering a sense of uneasiness. Many of you will be at odds with a partner today about the best way to do things. You may be taking an overly conservative point of view, so try to be open to different viewpoints. Of course it's better to be safe than sorry, but it's also true that nothing ventured, nothing gained. Auspicious colours are basic black and garnet red. Lucky numbers are 8 and 10.

Oct 26: Take A Break

The Moon enters Pisces and your eleventh house of friendships and associations today. Take a break and go out for a long lunch with your favourite people. With the weekend about to start, it's time to leave your cares behind. If you must mix business with pleasure, save it for the very last minute. Sometimes you just need to have fun. Beneficial colours are blush pink and ivory. Lucky numbers are 11 and 16.

Oct 27: Great Ideas

Your friends may have some brilliant ideas that will be a big help to you in the coming days; listen to what they have to say. Today is also a wonderful day for love... those of you who have been going through growing pains in a relationship will find that you can have a breakthrough today. Don't be afraid to talk about your feelings; let them out gradually to avoid an explosion. Favourable colours are sparkling orange and lime green. Lucky numbers are 15 and 19.

Oct 28: Lighthearted

Enjoy the lighthearted mood as the Moon continues to travel through your eleventh house of friendship. Lunch today with a neighbor or sibling should lift your spirits, and you might just be needed for your warmth and support. This afternoon could prove to be quite busy, so try to pace yourself. You don't want to wear yourself out if you're celebrating Halloween later this week! Turn in early for best results. Auspicious colours are turquoise and teal. Lucky numbers are 24 and 25.

Oct 29: Lunar Low

The Moon enters Aries and your twelfth house of secrets and seclusion today, making this a rather dreary Monday. This marks the beginning of your lunar low cycle, so it's best not to push yourself physically. An evening at home surrounded by the things that comfort you is the best plan of attack for this evening. If you must go to a social event, try to escape early. Advantageous colours are midnight blue and sunset pink. Lucky numbers are 3 and 12.

Oct 30: Confusing Times

Some of you may have a hard time getting out from under the covers today; sleep in if that's what your body is telling you to do. Many of you will have strange and confusing dreams during this time frame... write them down for analysis later. This is a day for quiet pursuits and pleasures, so don't expect or demand too much of yourself. Beneficial colours are iridescent green and lavender. Lucky numbers are 21 and 30.

Oct 31: Halloween

This could be a wickedly fun day for those who plan to celebrate All Hallows Eve. The changing Moon will enter your first house of personality, helping you to be the star of the show. You may also want to consider these Taurus characters: Salvador Dali, Barbara Streisand, Adolf Hitler, Queen Elizabeth II, Leonardo da Vinci. Advantageous colours are ruby red and ivory. Lucky numbers are 1 and 10. Read more on Halloween.
