September 2013 horoscope - Taurus

I follow the sidereal calendar; this is the monthly solar horoscope for birthdays from 16^th May to 15^th June of Taurus Ascendants and Moons

By Louise Gilbert

Taurus, your home is your castle and as you are one of the most aesthetically conscious signs of the zodiac, you will be busy beautifying your surroundings – at a minimum. A lot of you will have been working on improving your finances, perhaps saying goodbye to your old 9-5 job and instead, you’ve been flying solo or are planning to do so. In any case, what you may have had in mind during this process is to upgrade where and how you live. At the beginning of September, it seems as though you’re ready to get the ball rolling by having chats with estate agents, getting the paperwork ready and negotiating the right terms and conditions. Part of all of this means that at least for the first few days of the month, you’re less likely to be seen out and about frequenting your usual haunts and instead, you’d rather brood over the colour of the wall paper. 
 
This also gives you time to think. It’s important for Taureans to feel settled as you have a need for physical protection that your home is meant to provide. The internal thought processes you’re going through now as well as the external changes in your living situation, however small, are a good way to show you ways to provide you with some more stability. The only thing you’ll need to be aware of is that Neptune is in opposition in your 10^th house of life direction and career. This basically means that you might still not be sure which way to turn, where to move and settle down. The best thing to do now is to follow your intuition, not much can beat that now. 
 
The best day to pick up the phone and speak to your estate agent is on 5^th September when the new Moon in Leo takes place in the area of your chart to with the home. This new Moon falls into the nakshatra of Purvaphalguni, the 11^th of 27 'wives of the Moon' and one of three that is ruled by the planet Venus. This is a creative nakshatra which broadly speaking brings skills in arts and a love of pleasure. The deity for this star is Bhaga, the God of Prosperity. This can be quite beneficial for those of you working from home and for yourself with a lot of communication, general business acumen and common sense around you and your business now. But again, be aware of Neptune’s fuzzy influence potentially clouding your vision.
 
In any case, this is a good time to think about what makes you feel safe and secure – and the answer, after all, may not be from any physical walls but from the contentment that’s building. 
 
In September, your ruler, Venus, is also moving out if her debilitation sign of Virgo and into her own sign of Libra. Although the last few weeks could have been quite creative and even romantic, your children could have been a little more demanding than usual and now it’s time to focus on your health and let any stress you may have been exposed to drift away. This is easier said than done of course, especially as work is still quite hectic and demanding but the more you focus on your well-being now, the better it is for you. This also includes your mental well-being – give your mind a rest and stop worrying about the things you don’t need to worry about. If necessary, put a daily alert in your phone to remind you to stop worrying! This is also the time when you may have to make a bit more of an effort to avoid conflict situations and arguments with your partner as well as the people you deal with on a daily basis. 
 
Then, the full Moon on 19^th September is in the sign of Pisces and your house of friends, associates and your business network. This is also the house of gains and if you’ve played your cards right, then you could be in for a bonus. In any case, it’s the completion of a project, group activity or even in some cases the association with a certain group that altering and progressing…
 
Have a great month, Taurus!
