Welcome to October, Taurus. This month brings an eclipse affecting your work/life balance, Jupiter retrograde, and a psychic full moon. During September, a lunar eclipse brought attention to any unhealthy friendships. Shortly after October begins, there's another eclipse, but this one is solar and occurs in your 6th House on Wednesday, October 2. While lunar eclipses are associated with endings, solar tend to coincide with beginnings. Your 6th House rules beauty routines and wellness. This makes early October a lovely time to try a different hair color. However, it could also see you feeling a bit burnt out. Make sure to get as much sleep as possible, and try not to schedule anything stressful around this date. It's a time for self-care.
Jupiter, the lucky planet of expansion, goes retrograde in your opulent 2nd House on Wednesday, October 9, until February 2025. Everything Jupiter touches turns to gold. While we can't promise money in this job market, we can say that when Jupiter goes backward in your 2nd House, you'll reevaluate how you make a living—which could totally lead to opportunities. Thank goodness Jupiter's backward dances don't cause the same sort of stress as when Mercury retrogrades.
Pluto, the planet of transformation, has been retrograde since May. For most of this time, it was giving your 10th House of Social Status a makeover, which could have led to shakeups at work. However, it's now in Capricorn and your philosophical 9th House and goes direct on Friday, October 11.
Pluto is currently in Capricorn for the last time until moving back into Aquarius in November, where it will stay until 2043. Think back to your life in 2008, when Pluto first moved into the hardworking sign. Did you start on a career path or begin any type of relationship? That time period is now coming to a close, which is likely bittersweet. Its brief reentry gives you a chance to say goodbye to that chapter. Pluto in Aquarius will usher in a new, more community-oriented chapter, indicating big changes on a micro and macro level.
On a smaller scale, shortly after, on Sunday, October 13, the divine messenger Mercury moves into sexy Scorpio, affecting your partnership-oriented 7th House. This transit merges love and sex. If you're in a long-term relationship that's gone stagnant, this could see any partnerships that cooled off sexually enjoying some super hot sex. And if you're casually hooking up with anyone, don't be shocked if someone catches feelings. Relationships continue to evolve when lover Venus moves into your sexy and transformative 8th House on Thursday, October 17.
Your love life takes center stage when the sun moves into Scorpio, affecting your 7th House of Partnerships.
October gets intuitive when the sky lights up with a full moon in Aries and your heady 12th House on Thursday, October 17. Full moons can mean intense emotions. You'll want to rest and get plenty of sleep, but take time to take into your intuition. With this lunation in your 12th House, you'll be more psychic than usual. Consider working with tarot, ancestors, or keeping a dream journal by your bed.
Your love life takes center stage when the sun moves into Scorpio, affecting your 7th House of Partnerships on Tuesday, October 22. The next few weeks are full of big feelings, especially surrounding sex. Following the themes from Mercury's transit, any casual hook-ups may become more serious. It's easy to get swept up in it all. Some Tauruses will very much fall in love for real during Scorpio season, whether it's remembering why they adore their current partner or meeting a new one. However, everything will be so intense that if this applies to a new partner, you want to pause to see if you're actually in love or just in lust. Echoing the need to check in to see if the passion you're experiencing is sustainable, Vesta, the asteroid of spirituality, moves into your wellness-oriented 6th House on Saturday, October 26. Take a breath, talk to friends, and think things through before making serious commitments. We'll see you in November.
