Jenny MilamThe Moon moves into patient and steady Taurus this morning, setting up a day of relaxation, loving encounters, and reveling in earthly pleasures. That is until this afternoon when the Sun and Pluto introduce some serious “let’s get things done” energy. It’s time to get your house in order. Something’s been holding you back.
The Moon Moves into Taurus at 7:01 AM
This morning, 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 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.
The Moon Is Sextile Mercury at 8:36 AM
A bit later, the moon in grounded Taurus forms a sextile aspect with Mercury in emotional Pisces. This is a favorable transit, and these signs complement each other well. Mercury rules communication, and the moon rules emotions, so expect some heady, revealing conversations with your nearest and dearest.
You’re in tune with your own emotions as well as those of the people around you right now, so those conversations will flow freely and easily.
Communication is the theme of the day. It’s very likely that you’ll receive more attention from friends and family than usual. Remember to check in on them as well. Your support and advice might be sorely needed. You could be a shoulder to cry on for a friend in need.
Your memory is razor sharp, which could bring about some nostalgia or wistfulness. You might be reminded of an old friend, or maybe even hear from one. That clear head also means that routine mental work will feel easier than usual right now.
The Sun Is Sextile Pluto at 12:47 PM
This afternoon, the sun in dreamy Pisces forms a sextile angle with Pluto in pragmatic Capricorn. You’re feeling an extra burst of drive and ambition under this transit. The sun is illuminating all the areas in our lives that need tending to.
Pluto is a master of transformation—and sometimes destruction—so your focus will be on clearing away the things that are no longer serving you so you can make room for things that will.
This transit can also lend you a great deal of influence over others, and can even make people find you more attractive. Just be careful to use this newfound power for the good of others, not just your own personal gain.
The Moon Is Conjunct Uranus at 11:44 PM
The moon in earthy Taurus goes conjunct of Uranus—also in Taurus—a bit before midnight. This can bring about sudden flashes of insight as our psychic abilities are stimulated. We’re feeling impatient and impulsive, and have an urge to act on gut instinct.
The moon in Taurus offers emotional awareness, and Uranus in Taurus brings creativity and invention to the table. This could be a great time to try out some off-the-wall ideas. Don’t think too hard about it. Just do.
