Taurus Monthly Horoscope

Courtship, the Bedroom, Children or Young Adults

The most important transit of the year for all aspects of intimate sexual relationships or romance is upon you. This is quite different to actual marriage or partnership; this transit can be about a one-night stand. It can also bring unplanned pregnancy after the aforementioned one-night stand! The Sun, New Moon and Mercury are all cycling through the Fifth House of your solar chart, which is really about courtship rituals. Simple dating for example or trawling through the faces on internet dating sites. The Fifth House is also associated with the sexual side of marriage, and very much with pregnancy, infants, schoolchildren, teenagers or young adults. The offspring of the union.

Expect to retrace your steps from August. Mercury will repeat his position from last month, so what you had assumed was a done deal, may change. You may have decided on the baby’s name with your partner and that now alters. That is one example. If you have been dating someone you may find it’s stop-start. I would not wish that on anybody, but we have to be honest about the astrology and say that Mercury Retrograde is about people changing their minds.

In fact, the ‘re’ prefix words apply to intimacy, The Pursuit of Love (to quote Miss Mitford) and all suitors in September. So, there is reconsideration and may be rethinking, too.

Your Own or Others’ Children

The children may be your own or belong to other people. We include nieces and nephews but also godchildren on this cycle. Sometimes the children or young adults are en masse, because of your career, so you may be a teacher. There may be rescheduling of the school term because of another COVID-19 outbreak, for example, or you may find that the stepchildren you were expecting to move back in with you, change their minds.

Mercury Retrograde is not a bad thing. I always say, it happened when the Titanic launched, and J.P. Morgan, its rich owner, cancelled his ticket to his benefit. We do associate this with ‘message received; message reversed’ though. It is very much associated with internet issues, or telephone trickiness. For that reason, if something strikes you as odd where the world of pregnancy or children are concerned, double-check.

Just cycle through, Taurus. Go ahead with all these matters but allow for the fact that what you had assumed in August may need to put to one side. In any case the New Moon in Virgo on Friday, September 15th, 2023, suggests that weekend is a new beginning for you, with a partner or date – or with a child. This is a new road to take with this person, however you two figure out the map.
