Taurus

Your week is about order in everyday life: your schedule, your health, your working routine. What you put right now will carry you through the whole of October without effort. The middle of the week will call for patience, as small glitches turn up and test your composure. By Friday it will be obvious how much calmer life feels when everything is in its place.

In your relationship it is shared daily life that counts now, not conversations: a dinner you cooked, an evening together, the familiar rituals. Your partner feels how dependable you are and answers in kind, as long as you are not demanding proof. Closer to Wednesday a moment of mild irritation over something trivial is possible, so do not blow it up. The weekend will give you back the quiet togetherness you have been missing all September.

This is a good week for putting your accounts in order: subscriptions, recurring payments, small leaks. A single unnecessary payment cancelled now will save you a noticeable sum by the end of the year. From Thursday, with the start of October, write the budget out again, and the picture will look better than you expect. Larger purchases are better left for the middle of the month.

The routine part of your work flows easily, and that is your chance to clear the backlog. Do not start anything new until you have closed the loose ends, because there are fewer of them than it seems. On Wednesday you may be asked to stay late or to help with someone else's project, so agree only on clear terms. By Friday you will be in better shape than most of your colleagues.

Your body responds gratefully to routine, and this week gives you the chance to lock it in. Regular meals and going to bed at the same hour will do more for you than any supplement. Keep an eye on your neck and shoulders if you spend long hours at the computer. Add walks towards the weekend, as they will close the week with a steady sense of wellbeing.
