Jenny MilamThe planetary activity from this morning has us feeling a bit restless and edgy, dredging up the past and stewing over old squabbles and wounds. Thank goddess that the Taurus moon is here, ready to dose us with love, patience, and sensual delights. It’ll be a welcome turn for the day.
The Moon is Square Pluto at 12:54 AM
While we were sleeping, the moon in fiery Aries formed a square with Pluto in grounded Capricorn. This transit causes our impulsiveness to butt up against a bit of introspection, and that can cause some discomfort. It might lead to some compulsive or destructive behavior, and some long-buried wounds or traumas could be pulled to the surface.
It’s quite possible that some of these wounds have to do with family history. Be on the lookout for emotional power struggles with family members or partners, or reliving past events to feed the grudge monster.
This isn’t fun by any means, but it’s very important not to bury things even further. You need to find a way for that energy to move through you. Talk to a friend, get your thoughts down on paper, or seek out the counsel of a professional. And keep in mind that this is only a temporary transit.
The Moon is Square Saturn at 11:49 AM
Later this morning, the moon forms a square aspect with Saturn in earthy Capricorn. Squares between the moon and Saturn can cause serious bouts of moodiness and moments of depression, and you may find yourself dredging up past grief and other unresolved matters.
It’s quite possible that you’ll have woken up in a funk this morning, but any dreams you had might offer some insight into what you need to work through. Write them down if you can remember, and hold onto them to delve into later. Then, take some time to write down some things you’re grateful for to bolster your mood a bit.
This transit might leave you with a slightly restless feeling. A bout of low self esteem could keep you from openly sharing your emotions, and you might be feeling more isolated and distant from your loved ones than you have been lately. It might be a good time to spend a little time alone today.
The Moon Moves into Taurus at 1:32 PM
This afternoon, the moon moves into the earthy, grounded sign of Taurus. Generally the moon in Taurus offers us a peaceful, easy feeling. This is welcome after so much fiery Aries energy the last couple of days, and it’s definitely something we’ll need after our morning of edginess and irritability.
Taurus blesses us with an extra dose of patience, and generally puts us in the mood to delve into life’s earthly pleasures. Think a cozy morning sipping coffee on your porch, or an evening snuggled up with your favorite person to watch a movie.
We’re feeling romantic and sensual, and looking to up the hedonism a little. Pleasure-seeking is the name of the game.
Because Taurus is a fixed sign, you should be able to commit to a project fully over the next couple of days. It’ll be easy for you to get into the zone and focus on details, and you’ll take genuine pleasure in the progress you make through hard work.
Cooking, gardening, crafting, building, singing, and dancing could all be good activities during this time.
All aspects mentioned here are calculated in Eastern Standard Time. For greater accuracy, please adjust for your time zone.
