THE MOON IS IN TAURUS TODAY! Keywords: money, practical, stability, music, possessions, self-worth, morals, values, romance, slow to decide

he Moon in Taurus is opposing your 7th house of contractual relationships. This house also rules unions, lawsuits, contracts, partnerships, marriages, agreements, and open enemies with the public. This can be partnerships in business, marriage or a committed relationship that is a live-in arrangement. It also includes long-term associations, the animus (underlying passion or force), the relationship between soul and personality.

This Taurus Moon naturally rules "self-worth," which means how much you value yourself. This isn't about how much someone else values you, it's the other way around. You could easily come across as extremely hard-headed during this Taurus Moon because you are also a fixed sign like Taurus, which is also your opposing sign. Keep in mind that Taurus is naturally ruled by Venus (Love), which means you can easily turn this energy around and turn it into romance. You really need to stop stewing over the past because it will not serve you in a Good light. If you are still angry about something in a relationship, then you might be the one who has chosen to paralyze your progress by hanging on to the past. Rehashing what has already been hashed may prove futile right now. Enough is enough! It is this lunar influence that may give you a strong indication of where you are stuck, firmly planted and where you just refuse to budge.

Since we will experience a New Moon in Taurus on Monday, May 18, 2015 at 12:13 AM EDT at 26 degrees 56 minutes (okay, let's call it 27 degrees), I want to set you up with an understanding of Taurus energy. The Moon just entered Taurus this morning at 3:02 AM EDT, so you see, by Monday morning at 12:13 AM EDT, it will have reached 26 degrees 56 minutes (27 degrees). We are in this Taurus energy all weekend long setting ourselves for that moment in time. The New Moon in Taurus is when we want to begin a new campaign with ourselves having to do with our own self-worth, which translates into our checkbook. Self-worth has everything to do with our morals and values (what we value), which dictates what we accept or settle for as a salary, earned income, personal money and personal possessions. Interesting huh? This also dictates how we feel about sex. That's right folks, this is our personal feeling about sex (self-worth) and what is really in our head because the foundation is morals and values. I will have more information on the New Moon in Taurus in your Weekly Horoscope.

So here is the set-up. This Taurus Moon kinda gets a bad rap. Taurus is often called, "stubborn" when all they really are is "fixed" and are usually clear about what they want. The fact that Taurus is represented by the placid firmly planted bull I think contributes to the misnomer. But it is also represented by the melodious cow who also seems to stand in the same place for long periods of time. It's tough to move a bull (unless you piss it off by poking it with a stick) and it's tough to move a cow (unless your startle it and cause the entire herd to stampede). With respect to the house listed above in paragraph two for all Scorpio's on the planet and the house ruled by Taurus in your personal natal chart, you might want to ask yourself where do I need to be poked with a stick or startled in order to get me to mooooooooove? Why does it have to come to that?

In addition to the Moon above impacting you, the aspects and energies below are also occurring and impacting you today.

Venus trine Neptune at exactly 2:49 PM EDT this is a major aspect, as opposed to the lunar (Moon) aspects, which are minor aspects. Information on this trine is also offered in your Weekly Horoscope along with how it impacts your Sun Sign and the house involved.

Moon sextile Neptune at exactly 7:06 PM EDT

Moon sextile Venus at exactly 7:25 PM EDT

As we begin to encounter these 'exact aspects' they are in applying degrees, which means you should be feeling the 'prodrome' or early symptom of what is coming. It's your intuition. See how much of this energy you feel and if you can feel it, then you can handle it better, take advantage of the opportunity it presents or deflect it so that it does not impact you at all. After the 'exact aspect' the degrees will begin to pull apart, which is called separating degrees, which it will then leave you feeling either relieved or refreshed. So in addition to the Moon impacting the house mentioned above in the 2nd paragraph for your Sun Sign, we also experience these aspects. Do you have any of these aspects in your personal natal chart?
