There are no planets transiting your sign this month, neither will there be for quite a while, but this doesn't mean that things aren't interesting elsewhere.  It's very likely that there is a lot going on at work.  There is a regular entourage of planets in your Natural 6th House of work, health and pets.  These include the Sun, Mars, Mercury and your Ruler, Venus.  While most of that energy indicates relationship issues, and it very likely will be since they're gathered there in Libra, for Bulls it may play out at work.  If there is a major project in work of which you're a part, now is an excellent time to show your stuff and shine.  There is a lot of energy there that you can harness to turn out an outstanding product and Mercury will enhance communications.  The Full Moon in Aries on the 6th will throw some emphasis to this area as well.  The Moon itself will be in Aries, your Natural 12th House, so if there are any emotional or psychological issues involved in the work scenario, this could set them off.

The New Moon on the 22nd is in Libra, right in the midst of those other planets, all of which are in very close proximity forming a tight conjunction.  It's interesting that we have the Sun and Moon as well as Venus and Mars, bringing together energies that are both opposite and complementary.  The Sun can represent our ego or simply shine its light in that particular House which we'll see emphasized at that time.  The Moon is symbolic of our emotions including our mother.  Venus is usually recognized as the icon for females and love but it also covers certain aspects of our work.  Mars is not only the male icon but also represents drive and energy.  Thus there is a lot of sexual, emotional and hard-driving energy involved.  Jupiter and Mercury are in a very tight conjunction in Scorpio right next door to the New Moon which should provide a significant boost to communications.  Since Scorpio is your Natural 7th House, this could bode well for any discussions you have in the relationship area.

Uranus, planet of unexpected change and surprises, is transiting your Natural 11th House of groups, social circles, coworkers, etc.  This could throw a glitch or two your way, especially since he's retrograde.  So be prepared, leave no rock unturned and in general use your usual methodical and thorough way of doing things to be ready for anything.

Neptune is also retrograde and transiting your Natural 10th House of community standing, reputation and career.  This could cause a few delusions, either on your part or that of others, which may shift or fog either the direction of your ambitions or perhaps some of the recognition you deserve.  The good news is that he comes out of retrograde on the 29th at which time the vibes will shift more toward inspiration and should be more beneficial.

Pluto is in your Natural 8th House of sex, death/regeneration and other people's money.  These things are what Pluto is all about, so this very long transit is having a subtle but definite effect on your views in these areas.  Bulls are usually very conscious of saving money, paying cash wherever possible and acquiring things of lasting value, such as real estate.  You may have a bit more inclination to speculate and borrow money to make investments than usual, but you'll do so with Taurean aplomb and most likely do very well.

This month ends with quite a bang, transit-wise.  That coterie of planets moves into Scorpio on the 24th, shifting the energy from Libra to Scorpio.  Now is when you'll most likely see some action in your relationships, if not before.  Since Scorpio is also your polar sign, bear in mind that this is all occurring on the opposite side of the Zodiac from your Natal Sun.  Of course the whole point of relationships is that we usually have to give up part of ourselves.  Nonetheless, if there is anything that needs to be addressed in this area, there is definitely a lot of cosmic energy there spurring things on.  This will really intensify on Halloween when four planets and the Sun are all in Scorpio.  There is another very tight conjunction enhancing communications plus Uranus and the Moon are also very close, possibly indicating some emotion-laden surprise either at work or within your social circle.

Needless to say there is a lot of interesting things going on this month that will most likely show up in the workplace and your relationships.
