An Open Letter To Taurus For September 2024
Dear Taurus,
How are you keeping my friend? I have managed to scrape some time to myself so I thought I’d take the opportunity to write. Well, after burning a little bit of midnight oil, here is what I came up with. I hope you find it helpful, informative, intriguing or at the very least entertaining.
The first week in September begins well. Jupiter, the Greater Benefic, is in Gemini and the 2nd House. Consequently, I believe Jupiter is very well placed to bring happiness and joy into the lives of many of my readers. This might manifest in practical terms as a financial gift, cash rebate or prize in some way. There again Jupiter’s influence might manifest on the emotional level and you might forge a good friendship that will last for many years or alternatively something very advantageous may happen in the life of someone you love dearly. I can only speculate. However, I shall keep my fingers crossed that something good brings sunshine and laughter into your life.
Venus Pluto energies combine in such a way as to stimulate rewarding social activities. That is to say, you find it easier to get along with people because you feel more self-confident and behave in a more positive and outgoing way. All your most likeable and endearing qualities come to the fore, and people warm to your personality. Indeed, marriage or a significant milestone in your emotional/sex life might be encountered.
Mercury Jupiter energies indicate your educational and employment prospects are about to expand immensely. Furthermore, it will do no harm whatsoever to take advantage of this potentially excellent time to burn the midnight oil in study. In addition, communication media, lecturing, teaching and writing may offer you opportunities to exploit. Surprisingly, what you previously perceived to be nothing more than sheer drudgery might become a pleasure to be indulged in with glee and excitement.
Attempting to extrapolate even more meaning from this astrological aspect: I'd venture to speculate that this is not only good news for you personally but an excellent prospect for those who truly love you; because they will sleep sounder in their beds knowing that you are taking your responsibilities seriously and can be safely relied upon to behave in a responsible manner.
The world is becoming more like a global village. Foreign cultures and communities are becoming an integral part of an expanding market place and a source of potential income for any farsighted entrepreneur eager to make their first million. Would you like to join them? Bilingual self-employed individuals might find their services in great demand. Consequently, career/work/investment opportunities flourish for those who have devoted time in gaining the appropriate qualifications or skills.
Let us now explore the prominent Moon Mercury theme. I deduce this might be a propitious juncture to interact with female team members at work or raise your profile on social media. Also, I’m wondering if stress and anxiety have contributed to small lapses of concentration which might have necessitated huried shopping trips to acquire essential products or precipitated errors of judgement you now regret.
Focusing the constructive side of this aspect: have you ever contemplated using some dormant skill or talent to become a digital nomad? Please give yourself a little time to mull over this proposition.
Moon and Uranus energies suggest interesting and unexpected developments are about to excite and enchant you. Perhaps imminent changes or fresh starts in the domestic sphere may focus on the acquisition of some new high tech equipment.
Keep your diary or events calendar updated and relevant because uninvited guests might catch you unaware and leave you struggling to explain your behaviour. In some convoluted way a parcel’s arrival or someone’s unexpected visit may have reason to make you change your plans or make a sudden exit to keep a mythical appointment. You have never been one to be deliberately deceptive, so if things do unfold as I have speculated (and remember they might not; because I’m only human and therefore prone to error like everyone else) it would be an unpleasant or embarrassing memory to recall.
Sun Saturn energies suggest financial limitations are imposing restrictions and inhibiting your opportunities for self-expression. Saturn might correlate to burdensome parental or professional responsibilities. The Sun might correlate to a desire for social and romantic opportunities. The combined effect is a debilitating sense of isolation and impotence. However, I’m sure it won't last forever: and that’s not just because I’m a born optimist. Ultimately - according to the Toaist belief that everything ultimately turns into its opposite - the situation will change and you will begin to live life to the full again.
Changing tack again: this week comes to a close with Neptune's enigmatic energies casting potentially subversive influences over events and developments. This potentiality, which must be acknowledged and certainly not ignored, is nevertheless not the end of the world. All you have to do is avoid the misinformation and credulity which is so often Neptune's fellow traveller. Think clever and assiduously apply the appropriate checks and balances to everything you read in the papers, listen to on TV or are told in secret. In short: it's all looking very good, providing you don't score any own-goals!
The second week in September Sun/Saturn energies suggest that this is an appropriate time to adopt the role of a “Teacher” in some way. However, having said that, I would not discount the possibility that you might - perhaps a little reluctantly - become active in local politics; start to work on the land in some way; become involved in a building project, or start your own business as a sole-trader.
Furthermore, frustration may lead you to adopt an autocratic and unsympathetic attitude to others in your immediate environment. You might begin to exhibit an uncharacteristically hard, rigid, attitude. Or, impose a blind adherence to traditional attitudes and beliefs upon individuals financially dependent or subordinate to yourself.
Other readers may suffer from lowered vitality, fatigue and an uncharacteristic sense of apprehension. Additionally, your current inhibitions compromise opportunities for fun and excitement. Regrettably, it may lead to feelings of resentment and blame for imagined wrong being projected onto individuals where it is manifestly unwarranted.
Mercury and Uranus offer intellectual insights and veritable quantum leaps of understanding to those readers who's Natal Horoscope resonates well with the current planetary alignments. However, this isn't the week to listen uncritically to gossip, because the planet Neptune might encourage you to believe an untruth with potentially disadvantageous results. Yes, tread carefully and be prepared to implement your changes with consideration and tact. Most of all, subject all those conspiracy theories you read on social media to a little reality-testing. Yes, a minority of them might be true: but not all of them.
It is interesting to note that the desire to transform some old and restrictive routines might result in you making a clean break with the past and opening a new chapter in your life. Additionally, I suspect many love-struck readers will receive numerous intriguing invitations that require a thoughtful response as these may lead to some major transformations in some intimate areas of your life.
Turning my attention to the third week in September: don't worry if you feel a little bored at first because it won't last long. I say this because the Sun makes a favourable aspect to lively and innovative Uranus and this suggests to me that things are about to get exciting again. Indeed, your situation might change in an instant. I'll keep my fingers crossed for you.
Making plans to outwit somebody you see as a competitor or an opponent is uppermost in your mind this week. However, let me stress that you have been extremely patient and slow to anger with this person. You have given them every opportunity possible to amend their ways or turn over a new leaf, so to speak.
I want to emphasise that you are not motivated by malice, but simply want them to end some potentially self-destructive behaviour or way of thinking. Not only that, but you can see where it possibly leads, and you are simply trying to avert future problems. However, you might just as well talk to a brick wall for all the good it is doing. You are almost at your wit's end and seek only what is best for everybody in the long run.
Are you getting any thanks for it? Not a chance!
The Moon trine both the Lesser and Greater Benefics suggests that your home might become a temporary retreat for someone looking for comfort and reassurance. The fact they have chosen you to turn to is a real compliment. In fact, I'd go as far as to say it's just another example of how you are looked up to and respected by your family and friends alike. Your love and kindness really matter to many people. In addition, your home emits a tangible, welcoming ambience. Mutual caring and sharing are fundamental principles to your family life. They are your lodestone and guiding light.
Harmonious Venus and Jupiter energies lead me to suspect that many of my older readers will agree when I say that your Grandchildren are the centre and circumference of your life, and their happy faces warm your heart. You have every reason to feel proud of the contribution you have made to your expanding family circle.
Returning to additional convivial and optimistic astrological aspects: a harmonious Mercury and Mars contact strongly suggests you might feel embolden enough to question the assertions and motivations of one individual to whom you usually quietly differ. You become able to verbally defend yourself and consequently speak your truth with enthusiasm and force. On many subsequent occasions the dynamic expression of your ideas and opinions are likely to meet with the approval of the majority of your peers. Consequently, this is a potentially good time for debates and intellectual contests of skill.
Indeed, the combined Mercury and Mars energies usually manifest as important communications and an increasing number of short trips. They may also correlate to the study of extremely complex subjects. In the near future you might be called upon to read publications and tutorials, or engage with others in seemingly challenging intellectual pursuits. Do you play chess I wonder?
Furthermore, the aforementioned Moon Venus aspect also suggests to me that your home might become a temporary retreat for a child, adolescent or new parent looking for comfort and reassurance. The fact they have chosen you to turn to is yet another example of how you are looked up to and respected. Your judgement and words of wisdom really matter to numerous individuals. They value you; but you seem to undervalue yourself for some reason. And that is a tragedy.
Now we reach the final week in September. Neptune, Uranus and Pluto energies harmoniously combine in such a manner as to prompt me to ask the following questions: Did your parents, grandparents or great-grandparents strongly adhere to a particular faith group? Did their faith mean a lot to them? Perhaps their lives will inspire you to “up your game” and bring a bit of heaven down here to earth. Not only for yourself, but also for those you love and protect.
In short: I suspect that you have innate Spiritual needs that are crying out to be acknowledged, and this is an appropriate week to not only think about your forebears' spiritual affiliations, but to turn your own good intentions into good deeds. Indeed, it's time to change; adapt; strive to be your best self; hone your gifts and exploit your talents.
My old Dad used to say to me when I was a child “God gives everyone a gift or talent: but the hard part is finding them!” I guess the implication for you is this: if you haven’t found your unique talent or gift yet; just keep on trying until you do!!
I believe that many people are beginning to respond to a higher vibration. They are becoming aware that the Universe is speaking to them. Urging them to answer a higher calling. In short: they now realise their lives might remain incomplete without some kind of Holy Grail to pursue. Additionally, they want to play their part in making the world a better place in which to live. And – to do this – they must add a spiritual dimension to their lives. Just paying the bills is no longer enough for them: they require a “cause” to expound!
Do you feel unequal to such a task?
Then don’t!
Please remember things are happening out of sight and out of mind, but (fingers crossed) good fortune is about to boost your accomplishments in some way.
Spiritually rich readers will find comfort in the secluded and private practice of their religion. Away from prying eyes and mocking tongues, you too can find consolation, reassurance, and solace. Your fears will evaporate, and your vitality will be renewed. Your “Tomorrows” will be filled with promise and your “Yesterdays” will be reviewed with a new clarity of vision which puts everything into a new perspective. You will come to see that the cross you carried in obedient silence was indeed worth the sacrifice. Every part of the jigsaw will fall into its appropriate place. “All's well that ends well”. You will start to feel at peace with your situation.
Looking to the future: I hope that your internet buddies, fellow students, colleagues, friends and extended family introduce comfort, jollity and meaning into your life. Moreover, I hope you get an opportunity to give the lead in some way or demonstrate your special gifts to an appreciative audience.
Remember each one of you reading this letter is a totally unique individual. Consequently, the above paragraphs will manifest in your life in a finely attuned — finely nuanced — way tailored to meet your specific needs for Soul-growth. Remember too, that we are all Pilgrims put here on this planet to learn a lesson and in some — perhaps obscure way — you will make significant progress towards your ultimate goal. So just relax, Love yourself and show compassion and kindness to those who need it. Most important: try your best to live a good life.
One final observation: this week is a time ripe for making transformations and news starts. The intrepid explorer in you will find fresh ways to make its mark and manifest itself in your life. At long last your plans begin to manifest into actuality, and many of my readers will finally slam the door firmly closed on grief and heartache. Things are slowly beginning to change for you. At long last you are going to get what you really deserve: the best of the very best!!
Well folks that's me all written out for this letter. So until I write again, “God Bless and Protect”. Bye bye.
Your sincerely,
Guy Doleman: Astrologer
