Taurus Monthly Horoscope

All Taurus Horoscopes

It's time to get your life into fighting shape, Taurus! October delivers a cosmic cocktail of powerful shifts and surprises, starting with a game-changing solar eclipse in Libra on October 2. This one, following the September 17 lunar eclipse in Pisces, is the second in a pair of fall eclipses. October's eclipse activates your sixth house of wellness and organization, shifting your daily routines, health and habits in ways you didn't see coming. Whether you're decluttering, swapping out your seasonal wardrobe or rebooting your meditation practice, this month helps you get lean, green and clean.

Adding to the makeover mix, expansive Jupiter turns retrograde in Gemini on October 9, kicking off a four-month period of financial reflection. Watch your wallet as all of the outer planets (Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto) are all retrograde, slowing things down to encourage introspection. On October 11, Pluto ends its five-month retrograde, helping you move forward with the deep transformations you've been working on behind the scenes. Pluto's final lap through Capricorn until November 19 signals the culmination of a LONG chapter. Get ready to step into a more empowered and authentic version of yourself.

With the Sun in Libra and your sixth house of well-being and organization until October 22, the first three weeks of the month are ideal to craft a project plan or settle into a healthy fall routine. The October 2 solar eclipse provides the perfect launchpad, whether you're clearing space in your home or streamlining your routines. 

Eclipses often deliver the unforeseen, so don't be shocked if your plans take a sudden turn. While you're setting goals for regular exercise and clean eating, be prepared for unexpected plot twists. Since the sixth house also governs service and pets, you might find yourself volunteering for a brand-new cause or adopting a furry friend. Who knew your heartstrings couldn't resist the tug of that giant-eyed stray kitten or shelter pup? 

This will also be the final Libra eclipse in a transformative Aries-Libra series that began in July 2023 and will conclude in March 2025. These eclipses have been shaking up your sixth and twelfth houses, pushing you to balance the practical demands of daily life with deeper emotional and spiritual healing. Over the next six months, you'll refine this delicate dance between taking care of your physical well-being and tending to your inner world. Prepare to embrace the unplanned with an open heart—these cosmic surprises can guide you toward the healing and personal growth you didn't realize you needed.

This year, a unique cosmic lineup will accompany the Libra new moon, amplifying its power. Six celestial placements are in air signs—the Sun, moon, Mercury, Jupiter, the karmic south node and Black Moon Lilith —all spotlighting the most collaborative parts of your chart. 

With the Sun, moon, and Lilith occupying the same degree, hidden frustrations could surface, especially if boundaries in your healthy routines have been crossed. Lilith represents your shadow side—the part of you that may rise up in anger when a line is crossed. This eclipse could trigger unexpected emotions, revealing frustrations you hadn't fully acknowledged, giving you the chance to finally address them head-on.

While you're pulling your life into shape, Taurus, revisit your financial strategies. On October 9, abundant Jupiter turns retrograde in Gemini and your second house of money, where it will backtrack until February 4, 2025. This four-month period calls for a more mindful approach to your spending. Have your impulse purchases been creeping up, leaving you a little shorter on cash? Align your financial habits with your long-term goals. If you're saving for a home or want to make a dent in college debt, for example, pay attention to how well your day-to-day choices support that vision.

If Jupiter has gifted you a new job or project in the past few months, use this retrograde to get grounded and organized. Dive deep into onboarding or training a new team member, and don't rush the process. A practical, step-by-step approach will help you ease smoothly into your new role or venture. If you're hunting for a new revenue stream, Jupiter retrograde is a great time to ping old colleagues or clients. Since retrogrades rule the past, your personal history could hold the key to future stability.

On October 11, transformational Pluto ends its five-month retrograde in Capricorn, lifting the curtain on projects that may have been percolating behind the scenes since May 2, particularly in your career. While it may have felt like your efforts were stuck in limbo or not reaching a wide audience, this retrograde was a powerful period to refine your ideas, test new strategies and gain wisdom from the setbacks. You might have faced skepticism or resistance along the way, but you've emerged clearer in your vision.

This moment is especially significant because Pluto is wrapping up its 16-year journey through Capricorn, a cycle that began in 2008. With Pluto making its final lap through Capricorn until November 19, expect this finish-line push to bring lasting changes to anything related to travel, entrepreneurship and learning. Over the next month, you might explore returning to school, launching a business or taking a big step in your career.

Is it time to release a painful yet transformative chapter of your life? In the second half of the month, you'll have a chance to bid that adieu. The Aries full supermoon on October 17 shines its light in your twelfth house of transitions and endings. This could serve as a potent portal into a major change that's been brewing since the April 8 Aries solar eclipse six months ago.

But don't expect a gentle release, Taurus. With a loose grand cardinal cross between the Sun, moon, Mars and Pluto, the energy could feel intense and combative, pushing you to take bold action. If there's something you've been fighting for or holding onto, this full moon demands that you stand up for yourself or release your iron grip. 

Something in your life may need to be wrapped up before a new path can unfold. Powerful realizations could push you to release control over a situation you've been clinging to past its prime. Instead of forcing outcomes, surrender and let the universe play co-pilot. This full moon could deliver a profound creative or spiritual breakthrough, so stay open to intuitive flashes and signs. This is a moment to trust the journey, not rush to the destination.

Another day that could find you grappling with a big decision arrives Octoclass="body-el-link standard-body-el-link" ber 22, when confident Sun locks into a high-stakes square with power player Pluto. You might find yourself bogged down by details or feeling overwhelmed. 

Pluto in your expansive ninth house tempts you with big ideas and dreams—but actually putting those into a solid, workable plan could feel frustratingly elusive. You're usually the master of grounded strategies, but today your inner control freak seizes the wheel. Instead of letting the pressure get the best of you, take a step back and assess the situation with a calm eye. Address concerns, but don't let anxiety or emotional intensity derail your efforts.

Later that day, relationships move into the spotlight as the Sun shifts into Scorpio and ignites your seventh house of partnerships until November 21. This monthlong transit encourages you to lean on others for support. Scorpio is your opposite sign, meaning the Sun is at its farthest distance from the Taurus portion of the sky. As a result, your own "solar power" is decreased. Let the trusty members of Team Taurus support you now.

A moment to call on others arrives this October 28, when a harmonious Mars-Neptune trine creates a dreamy flow between your third house of communication and your eleventh house of friendships and teamwork. Conversations will be inspiring, and you could feel deeply connected to your social circles. Mars in Cancer helps you speak from the heart while Neptune in Pisces adds a layer of compassion and creativity. This is a great day for collaborating on a visionary project or sharing your ideas with a group—you'll find that others are more receptive and open to your message.

More bonding happens as the month closes out. Halloween night casts an intriguing spell as the balsamic moon in Scorpio illuminates your seventh house of relationships. This mystical lunar phase, perfect for release and reflection, invites you to let go of any lingering tensions in your partnerships. Whether you're sharing your night with a partner or mingling at a spooky soiree, Scorpio's deep influence encourages heart-to-heart conversations that bring enchantment back to your closest bonds.

There's potent commitment energy in the air this month for you, Taurus! For the first two and a half weeks of October, your galactic guardian, graceful and sensual Venus, is rounding out her journey through Scorpio and your committed-relationship zone. Venus then plunges into Sagittarius and your eighth house of permabonding on October 17, cranking up the intimacy. On October 22, then Sun sidles into Scorpio, reigniting your partnership sector for four weeks.

One thing's for sure, Bull: You're not messing around this cuffing season. If a situationship is skirting the edge of officialdom, you want to know: Is this thing going anywhere? With Venus forming harmonious 120-degree trines to mature Saturn and driven Mars on October 4 and 8, respectively, clarity and decisive action are the name of the game. It's time to define the relationship (cc: fellow Taurus Sabrina Carpenter and her on-and-off again relationship with Libra actor Barry Keoghan).

Fortunately, Mars is in Cancer and your communication zone all month, helping you talk through every possible scenario before you cut and run. Is your relationship solid? Discuss romantic plans. You could have a big, exciting announcement to make before the month is through. If you've been looking for the right moment to move in together or a bigger place to accommodate a growing family, Mars' time in Cancer could surprise you with some real estate gems in the neighborhood. Looking for inspo? Put on the latest season of Million Dollar Listing and let your powerful imagination take it from there.

Erotically, this month brings more opportunity to experiment, but only if there's enough trust to match the lust. Single Bulls, Mars could bring a lucky swipe or a kismet meeting through your social activities. Get out and mingle!

It's all in the details, Taurus! With the Sun in Libra and your organized, administrative sixth house until October 22, you're revved up to get everything put in place. The Libra solar eclipse on October 2 is a great day to declutter, map out an org chart or look into hiring someone who can make your life run more efficiently. Implementing new processes and systems can also be helpful. Consider the next six months a pivotal time to sort out that elusive work-life balance. 

Finances are also in the spotlight, especially in terms of your sense of self-worth and earning potential. When bountiful Jupiter turns retrograde (backward) in Gemini and your money zone on October 9, you might want to watch your wallet. We know that shopping can be a way of coping with stress, Bull, but with Jupiter's reversal through February 4, 2025, be mindful about those impulse purchases. Use this time instead to go through your existing expenses—do you really need ALL the streaming platforms? Consider an app like Rocket Money to help corral your subscriptions in one place and simplify accordingly.

Looking for a new source or revenue or income? Return to an old employer or client as retrogrades favor people from our past. If expansive Jupiter has brought you a new gig, this is a good period to get prepared or receive extra training. A practical approach is favored; don't just wing it. 

On a deeper level, Jupiter's backstroke through your financial sector could have you re-examining your abundance mindset. Simply put, how confident are you in your ability to make things happen for yourself or, for the entrepreneurs in the room, magnetize a steady income stream? If you tend to talk yourself out of any exciting opportunities before you've given it a fair shot, Jupiter can help you address that lack of inner faith.

Scorpio Monthly Horoscope

All Scorpio Horoscopes

Libra season is your all hallow's eve, and this year's spooky season is ripe for transformation—just the way you like it, Scorpio! The month kicks off with a Libra annular solar eclipse on October 2, the second in a two-part series that began on September 17. This powerful new moon lights up your twelfth house of closure and rest, encouraging you to let go of what's been emotionally weighing on you. Old habits and unresolved feelings could be reaching their natural end, and this eclipse provides the perfect opportunity to wipe the slate clean and start fresh.

You're in peak reflection mode this month as Jupiter turns retrograde in Gemini and your intimate eighth house on October 9. If you've been moving too fast with a new business arrangement or romantic involvement, Jupiter's retrograde through February 4, 2025, gives you the space to reassess whether these connections align with your long-term goals. Use this time to establish boundaries and rebuild trust.

When Pluto ends its five-month retrograde on October 11, you'll arrive at a newfound sense of clarity that can help you speak your mind and fortify your relationships. Since March 2023, Pluto has been moving between Aquarius and Capricorn, sparking epiphanies around how your family patterns have influenced the way you connect with others. This also marks the final stretch of Pluto's 16-year journey through Capricorn, empowering you to resolve lingering issues with members of your inner circle, neighbors or siblings.

For most of the month, the Sun journeys through peaceful Libra and your twelfth house of rest and closure. Until October 22, slow down and recharge your spiritual batteries. This is a time for deep reflection, so don't eschew solitude. Meditation, a fall nature hike or a day at the spa can be helpful. Take a page out of the Libra season handbook and balance your energy before your reset begins with the arrival of Scorpio season.

On October 2, the Libra new moon and annular solar eclipse sparks a powerful new beginning in your twelfth house of closure, healing and spirituality. This eclipse is all about letting go of the past and making room for the new. Got some emotional baggage or people-pleasing habits lingering? This eclipse encourages you to release what (or who) have been weighing you down. Eclipses bring surprises, so be open to sudden realizations or events that help you forgive, heal and close the door on relationships that no longer belong in your life.

What makes this eclipse even more potent is the rare alignment of six celestial placements—the Sun, moon, Mercury, Jupiter, the karmic south node and Black Moon Lilith—in Libra. Who needs a 12-hour power nap? (Scorpio raises hand.) Journaling, therapy or deep conversations could unlock hidden emotions and help you process your feelings with clarity. The flow of ideas will be strong, and this eclipse may bring spiritual insights that guide your next steps. Pay attention to your dreams during this time for "messages" that may be coming through. Artists, dancers, musicians and creatives will enjoy hyper-activated imaginations. 

But careful, Scorpio, because your vengeful side could also make a surprise appearance. With Black Moon Lilith playing a prominent role in this eclipse by making an exact meetup with the Sun and moon, buried emotions could rise to the surface. Conversations could get intense (even for you, Scorpio). Lilith represents the shadow side of your emotions, particularly around anger or frustration. Have you been suppressing feelings of resentment or guilt? It's time to acknowledge what's been bothering you and find a way to release those emotions in a healthy, constructive way.

This is also the final Libra installment of an Aries-Libra eclipse series that's been revolutionizing your approach to mind, body and spirit well-being since July 2023. The final Aries eclipse in March 2025 will close it out, but until then, double down on self-care, both on the inside AND out. 

Relationships come under scrutiny as Jupiter begins its retrograde in Gemini and your eighth house of intimacy and shared resources on October 9. Since May 25, you've likely been exploring the deeper layers of your emotional entanglements and financial arrangements. During Jupiter's reversal, dig in and ensure that everything you've been investing in is solid and sustainable. Jupiter retrograde offers a powerful opportunity to shore up any shaky foundations, allowing you to move forward with confidence once the supersizer planet resumes direct motion on February 4, 2025.

On October 11, Pluto ends its five-month retrograde, sharpening your decision-making powers. Since March 2023, Pluto has been dancing between Aquarius and Capricorn, stirring up transformation around home, family and mindset. This retrograde, which began on May 2, might have shaken things up on the homefront all summer. Then, on September 1, Pluto reversed into Capricorn and your communication house, which may have forced you to reflect on your ability to express yourself—especially in close relationships or on social media.

Between now and November 19, Pluto takes the final lap of its 16-year journey through Capricorn. It's time to finally set healthier boundaries in your interactions and work on advocating for yourself without stepping on other people's toes. (If you need some help, licensed therapist Nedra Tawwab's book Set Boundaries and Find Peace offers practical solutions.) You've learned a lot about the power of words and connections over the past decade and a half and are now ready to share those lessons in a meaningful way. Celebrate by hitting "publish" on that Substack post or TikTok you've been sitting on. 

The Aries full supermoon on October 17 lights up your sixth house of health, work and routines. Full moons mark turning points, and this one could reveal the results of the hard work you've been putting into your wellness or job-related projects. Have you been consistent with your self-care or working diligently toward a career goal? This supermoon might bring recognition for your efforts or show you where adjustments are needed to achieve greater balance. It's a moment to take charge of your well-being and prioritize routines that support your overall success and personal development.

The Aries full moon also features a loose grand cardinal cross involving the Sun, moon, Mars and Pluto, galvanizing you to take bold action. You could be switching teams at work, finding a more supportive role at another firm or employing the help of service providers to help mitigate your current workload. Don't be afraid to assert your needs and set clear boundaries—but do so respectfully under these intense skies. 

Continue to watch your tone on October 22, when class="body-el-link standard-body-el-link" your ruler, shadowy Pluto, locks into a heated square with the Sun. With Pluto in your communication sector and Sun in your twelfth house of hidden agendas, this day could crank up the gossip mill and bring passive-aggressive people out of left field. Evade the #shade by knowing that people are likely to lure you into drama—and it's your job to not take that bait! Be careful not to push anyone's buttons or prey on their sensitive spots, even unintentionally. Stick to neutral topics and save the conflict-resolution efforts for another day.

Scorpio season begins later that day (October 22), shining the spotlight on YOUR solar new year. Whether you're launching a personal project, debuting a fresh haircut (like fellow Scorpio Kendall Jenner and her blond 'do) or simply embracing your authentic self, Scorpio season invites you to step onto the stage. Thinking about switching up your style or stepping outside of your fail-safe black palette? Consider a rich shade of burgundy, fall's latest color trend. 

On October 28, go-getter Mars forms a harmonious 120-degree trine to empathetic Neptune across the expressive zones in your chart. Neptune's influence softens Mars' fiery intensity, encouraging you to take a more intuitive and heartfelt approach to your goals and conversations. If you've been feeling creatively blocked or uncertain about your next steps, this energy helps you gain clarity through your passions. Romance may also take a whimsical turn—just be careful to not get carried away by the ecstasy of the moment as Neptune can stir up confusion and illusions.

With Mars driving your thirst for adventure and Neptune adding an ethereal touch to your creative pursuits, this is the perfect time to bring your imagination to life—maybe with an iconic Halloween moment. Channel fellow Scorpio legend Winona Ryder with a costume that could knock Beetlejuice dead (once again) and turn heads. 

This Halloween also features an almost-new balsamic Scorpio moon, adding to the witchy vibes of the evening. Indulge in a playful night of transformation as the Scorpio moon encourages you to show a side of yourself most don't see. Get ready for your big debut because the next day will bring the Scorpio new moon, along with your personal new year. Chase away the demons and get ready to reveal what lies beneath!

With temperatures cooling and cuffing season heating up, you're ready to open your heart and give relationships a real shot. Generally speaking, that's a fine idea. Just make sure it's Cupid slinging the arrows and not the devil (or Beetlejuice) on your shoulder! Mars spends the whole month in tender Cancer and your expansive ninth house while the Sun moves through Libra and your twelfth house of illusions, making October a bit tricky when it comes to discernment.

With Venus in YOUR sign through October 17, the month opens with your powers of magnetism turned all the way up. When a mutual attraction starts to catch fire, you'll be ready to pounce. Yet your BS sensors could be in need of repairs—especially with confident Jupiter turning retrograde in your house of permabonding and intimacy on October 9 through February 4, 2025. Could a creepy Baby Reindeer relationship pattern be playing out? Spooky!

You may feel the pull toward a charming yet totally unrealistic (and potentially unhealthy) person. Ready as your body may be to throw caution to the wind, your feelings will invariably get involved. (Yes, even if everyone's upfront that this is "just a physical thing.") Coupled Bulls should be extra careful not to let lines get blurry. A moment on the lips is more than just a blip. 

Sound judgment, along with your moral compass, return when Venus heads into Sagittarius and your stabilizing second house on October 17. This could be an incredible time for a pre-holiday season getaway with your favorite person—especially ahead of next month's Mercury retrograde! Think about how you can introduce more independence and adventure into your routine. Just because you're coupled up doesn't mean you have to be attached at the hip 24/7.

Slow down and savor spooky season, Scorpio! With the Sun meandering through Libra and your twelfth house of rest, dreams and closure until October 22, your most powerful tool is your imagination. For the first three weeks of the month, the best way to be productive may sound counterintuitive. You don't necessarily have to take any vacation days, but how about taking leisurely lunches or conference calls while you stroll through the fall foliage? 

To the degree possible, reshuffle your priority list so you can work on creative, visionary and interpersonal projects. The Libra solar eclipse kicking off the month on October 2 is an opportune moment to consider where you can make room for more aligned efforts. If an issue has been vexing you, try inventive approaches to problem-solving, like spending more time in nature or "randomly" browsing online for related-but-different situations. And pay attention to your dreams. There are gems of wisdom and insight there—if you can capture them! 

The October 17 Aries full supermoon sweeps into your sensible sixth house of work, organization and analytical thinking. At least for today you'll emerge from that Libra-season fog and regain your astute Scorpionic ability to connect the dots. Simplify, streamline and ask for (good) help! The sixth house rules employees and assistants, and full moons mark culmination points. If someone's slacking on Team Scorpio, it's time for a performance review or maybe to relieve them of their duties. But be gentle—or at least kind.

Once the Sun enters Scorpio on October 22, you'll start feeling like your old self, ready to say yes to opportunities. Explore opportunities far beyond what you could have imagined. With news-bearing Mercury opposing revelatory Uranus in your relationship zone on October 30, an unexpected surprise could emerge in time for Halloween season, one that could revolutionize an existing collaboration or business alliance. Trick or treat? We'll let you be the judge.

October 11: Your Daily Horoscope

Friday, October 11th ARIES (March 21 - April 20): If you put a name to your desires today and over the weekend friends and loved ones will go out of their way to make them happen for you.

Friday, October 11th

ARIES (March 21 - April 20):

If you put a name to your desires today and over the weekend friends and loved ones will go out of their way to make them happen for you. Even if your requests are on the outrageous side they will see to your needs with no questions asked.

TAURUS (April 21 - May 21):

The message of the stars today is that you must treat other people the way you would like them to treat you. It won't always be easy considering some of the stupid things they get up to, so make a conscious decision not to be judgmental.

GEMINI (May 22 - June 21):

The thrill of doing something that more conservative types will disapprove of will be too much to resist today, but don't push your luck too far. How thrilling do you think it will be if people in positions of power decide to make an example of you?

CANCER (June 22 - July 23):

You may think you have enough cash in your pocket to splash out on a long list of luxury items but the planets warn there could be some major expenses coming up that you had not budgeted for, so make sure you keep enough in reserve.

LEO (July 24 - Aug. 23):

The more colleagues try to impress on you how important it is to stick to tried and trusted ways of doing things the more determined you will be to take a different route. If routine matters bore you – and they do – then give them a miss.

VIRGO (Aug. 24 - Sept. 23):

You may be one of the more practical members of the zodiac but that does not mean you cannot be a free thinker as well, and what you are working on will certainly require a more innovative approach. Surprise people with your offbeat attitude.

LIBRA (Sept. 24 - Oct. 23):

You are so full of confidence at the moment that you don't care who falls out if you rock the boat. What you should care about though is how easily your actions could turn would-be allies into long-term enemies. Try not to be quite so provocative.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24 - Nov. 22):

Authority figures have been looking favorably on you of late, so much so that you have been allowed to get away with things that previously you would have been criticized for. Don't push your luck too far though. There are always limits.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23 - Dec. 21):

You don't have to ask anyone's permission if you want to get away for a while – just pack a bag and hit the road. The more some people say it's too risky to leave the safety of home the more determined you will be to visit faraway places.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 - Jan. 20):

A clash of egos is coming to the boil and while it may not be pretty it will at least clear away the bad blood. Some people act as if they must always have at least one "enemy" on the go, but you don't have to think like that.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 21 - Feb. 19):

Reach out to a friend or loved one today and let them know how much you care. Sometimes you take it too much for granted that other people are aware that you appreciate their efforts, but they cannot read minds, so spell it out for them.

PISCES (Feb. 20 - Mar. 20):

You have allowed other people's behavior to rile you to such an extent that you feel it is your duty to say something about it. Maybe it is and maybe it isn't but your words are unlikely to have much effect. Seriously, why waste your breath?

BIRTHDAY FRIDAY;

If you can steer clear of petty distractions over the coming year there is every possibility that you will accomplish something not just good but great. Learn to switch off from other people's voices and listen instead to the voice that comes from within.
