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.

Charming Libra certainly has its astrological influences this month, with Jupiter, the Sun, and a new moon shifting into the air sign and bringing good vibes if you’re tryna get a new job, pet, or health routine. Plus, the effect of the eclipses, especially the lunar eclipse on the 16th, will fuel your commitment to your dreams, or help you discover a new dream. Lovely Venus occurs in the sign opposite yours on the Zodiac on the 23rd, and Scorpio will help you focus on company and commitment. Five days later, energizing Mars is in Capricorn, and the location in this earth sign will revitalize you and signal a good time to travel or go back to school. There’s a brief spout of Mercury in retrograde from the start of the month til the 22nd, so communication might get cloudy or downright childish, especially with loved ones. If you can wait it out, things won’t seem so messy.

Your September Trax: If you want to keep that revitalizing energy a’buzzin without overdoing it, listen to something like Connecticut fuzz pop band furnsss. For something a little heavier, a little more Philly, JANK might be what you’re looking for. And for a reliable Punk Lite™ option, try Boston’s own Fat Creeps.
