Tonight's Taurus Moon Wants You to Up the Hedonism a Little

After a slightly edgy early afternoon, things start to calm down and brighten up a bit this evening with the sun forming a favorable sextile with the moon. And later tonight, the moon moves into the hedonistic pleasure-seeking sign of Taurus. After a few days of go-go-go Aries energy, this change of pace should be a welcome one. Indulge yourself a little.

The Moon Is Square Pluto at 1:29 PM

This afternoon, the moon in Aries forms a square with Pluto in grounded Capricorn. This transit causes our impulsiveness to butt up against a bit of introspection, and that can lead to some discomfort. It might also lead to some compulsive or destructive behavior, so don’t be shocked if long-buried wounds or traumas are 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.

You might wake up in a funk after some uncomfortable dreams. 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 Sun Is Sextile the Moon at 7:19 PM

This evening, the sun in Aquarius forms a sextile angle with the moon in Aries. This gives us a positive boost of emotional energy that brings harmony to our relationships with friends and family. The conscious and subconscious parts of our brains fall into balance, and the energy is chill and worry-free.

This afternoon would be a good time to have a calm, collected conversation about a possibly contentious issue with a significant other. This balance and self-confidence also make it an opportune time to promote yourself and take initiative in a work situation.

The Moon Moves into Taurus at 10:15 PM

Tonight, the moon moves into the earthy, grounded sign of Taurus. Generally, the moon in Taurus offers us a peaceful, easy feeling. We’re blessed with an extra dose of patience, and are generally 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.
