OCTOBER 2019 77
DAY-BY-DAY FORECAST FOR TAURUS
1st Tues.—Managing money is one of your strong points,
Taurus. Focusing on your partner’s cash flow highlights
discrepancies that would otherwise slip through the
cracks.
2nd Wed.—Taking a philosophical approach to world
events brings your bawdy sense of humor to the forefront.
Cooperation with staff flows smoothly; everyone plays fair.
3rd Thurs.—Mercury enters Scorpio, your house of
partners, competitors, and confrontations (the 7th). Your
significant other solves a complicated conundrum.
4th Fri.—Staff members are contentious and argumenta-
tive, but a little gentle negotiation goes a long way. Blow
off steam with exercise, not junk food.
5th Sat.—An instructor, legal adviser, or in-law takes a
firm stand on an issue and won’t give an inch. Right and
wrong looms large; you’ll lean toward traditional values
here.
6th Sun.—Much like yesterday, and you’ll be inclined to
speak your mind and then remain silent after any fallout.
Soul-searching has ramifications you didn’t see coming.
7th Mon.—The Sun in Libra squares Saturn in Capricorn,
presenting restrictive conditions in medical matters and
educational concerns. Justice is lacking at the moment.
8th Tues.—Venus enters Scorpio, the house of both
your partners and competitors (the 7th). Shared feelings
become muddled; sort them out and then move ahead.
9th Wed.—Kind words with a colleague bring out your
sympathetic nature. Working for a worthy cause demon-
strates how you value action over rhetoric and false
impressions.
10th Thurs.—Using past experiences and examples
gets your point across better than a lecture. A seasoned
instructor serves as a torch-bearer to achieve tried and
true results.
11th Fri.—Extravagant spending isn’t your cup of tea, so
take precautions that it doesn’t happen on your watch.
Current events on the local and world level have an
impact.
12th Sat.—Venus in Scorpio opposes Uranus retrograde
in Taurus, presenting a tug of war in relationships.
Jealousy and control brush up against freedom and
bohemianism.
13th Sun.—The Full Moon in Aries lights up the house
of rehabilitation, charity, and seclusion (the 12th). Your
endless patience falls short in these matters.
14th Mon.—The Sun in Libra squares Pluto in Capricorn,
bringing dissension among hired help. Pets sense weak-
ness, and a health issue encroaches upon your daily
routine.
15th Tues.—A heart-to-heart with your partner or a
colleague raises hot-button issues that require your
empathy. You’ll give it with hands-on assistance and
loving care.
16th Wed.—Your innate common sense comes to the
forefront and sheds new light on a timeless issue that is
over-sensitized in academia or the media. Look within
for answers.
17th Thurs.—A talkfest with a member of the staff
presents various viewpoints in justice and fair play.
Chance encounters in your daily routine are upbeat and
informative.
18th Fri.—Scrutinize the funding for a worthy cause
before you roll up your sleeves and do your part.
Colleagues go out on a limb with a dubious decision; pull
them back.
19th Sat.—Mercury in Scorpio sextiles Pluto in Capricorn,
bridging the gap between you and advisers of every stripe.
Gathering facts and figures is easier than you thought.
20th Sun.—Venus in Scorpio sextiles Saturn in Capricorn,
reinforcing the ties that bind with your significant other.
Commitment and responsibility are front and center.
21st Mon.—Venus in Scorpio trines Neptune retrograde
in Pisces, transmuting yesterday’s rock-bottom values
into romantic escapades. Enjoy the ride while it lasts.
22nd Tues.—Being a homebody is part of your profile,
but it may be wearing thin with your significant other.
Once you settle into your creature comforts you’re not
budging.
23rd Wed.—Bold statements are exchanged regarding
family matters, but a middle ground is reached so all
parties involved are satisfied without having to make
sacrifices.
24th Thurs.—Criticizing the younger generation leads
to confusion, disillusionment, and hurt feelings. Poor
judgment comes into focus, along with misplaced trust.
25th Fri.—Venus in Scorpio sextiles Pluto in Capricorn,
casting a cross-cultural reference or two in your relation-
ships. You’ll plumb the depths of an ethical issue.
26th Sat.—Your love of gourmet food comes on strong,
and boundary lines blur when you’re enjoying yourself.
Sweets are particularly tempting, but know your limits.
27th Sun.—The New Moon in Scorpio activates the
house of opponents, partners, and confrontations (the
7th). These matters increase in intensity, so beware of
a backlash.
28th Mon.—Working in tandem with your partner high-
lights slow but steady progress that produces excellent
results. Colleagues notice your good-natured determi-
nation.
29th Tues.—Your partner reads your mind and antici-
pates your needs, leaving you both surprised and appre-
ciated; spread good cheer in return. You are loved; smile.
30th Wed.—The right words at the right time come in a
flash and make all the difference in a tight spot. Inside
jokes generate laughter and have a therapeutic effect.
31st Thurs.—Mercury stations retrograde in Scorpio,
inclining you to review and reassess your relationships.
Opponents and competitors keep tricks up their sleeves.
