Taurus

Taurus (Ruling Planet: Venus; Element: Earth) The textbook Taurus is generous, dependable, and down to earth. Persistence and patience are key virtues to a Taurus, thus, you rarely encounter failure. But change is hard for you. Although you generally have an easy going attitude, you are stubborn and demanding when you are being rushed or pressured. Also known for being self-indulgent and lazy, you tend to all-too-easily ignore others’ emotions. It’s also easy for you to become materialistic and possessive, and often jealousy is a common downfall for the Bull.

The start of the month could be stressful for you, as lively Libra enters Mercury and encourages you to finally take care of any work that’s been piling up. Then, there’s a full moon in Aries on October 16th, prompting a time for exposing truths and dumping emotional baggage. The planet of love’s shift into Sagittarius two days later will only fuel a tendency to be serious, passionate and intense. But when the Sun, Mercury, and a new moon all enter Scorpio (and your relationship sector), you’ll appear a little more compromising and balanced, in both personal and professional situations. The last week of October will be a good time for new commitments, so keep a lookout for a new business or romantic partner.

Your Trax: With Mercury in Libra, you should focus on being productive, and ditch the rest of your stresses. Listen to Out of the Garden, the latest, sharpest, power-pop LP from Tancred. And since this will be a more emotional month for you, (with the dumping of emotional baggage and all) DUMP HIM has probably the most appropriate moniker for these purposes. But if you’re just looking for music to let loose to, Sløtface have you covered with their track “Take Me Dancing.”
