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

The Moon in Taurus is moving through your 12th house of the hidden realm, subconscious, past, pain, karma, jails, institutions, hospitals, finances of friends, secret sorrows, fears, self-destruction, large animals, skeletons in closet, self-undoing and self-injury. It is about your hidden strengths, weaknesses and what you don't want others to see or know about you, unredeemed karma and selfless service to humanity. Refrain from letting this house frighten you because it is necessary that you look at your own self-undoing in order to keep yourself on the straight path.

Over the past several days I have written a handful on the current Grand Cross/Square and threw in some info on the current Grand Trines in the Water Signs and Grand Trines in the Earth Signs. I think it's always worth it to click back a couple of days to reinforce any new information that I have introduced to you, especially if you consider yourself a student of astrology. The Grand Cross/Square you see on today's Daily Astrology Chart will only be present until Wednesday, August 28, 2013. I described in detail this Grand Cross/Square in Saturday's Daily Horoscope.

As challenging as a Grand Cross/Square can be, I mentioned yesterday how we are always given a way of escape and then talked about the Grand Trines in the Water and Earth Signs. You see folks, it really depends on what you want to focus on. Remember in all of my charts, the challenging lines are in red and green and the easy and effortless lines are in blue. So when you download the Daily Astrology Chart for today it really depends on if you will focus on and think inside the box or if you will focus on what is outside of the box and think outside of the box. Outside of this box are multiple Grand Trines in the Water and Earth Signs. Go ahead, click the link and test yourself to see what your eyes focus on . . the blues or the red lines. Do you see all of those sextile lines (blue dashed lines) connecting the trines? One more sextile line (between maybe Jupiter and the Moon or Mercury) and that would have been a full blown complete Star of David. I did however include in the Daily Astrology Chart for today another wheel at 7:00 AM EDT that shows that one needed sextile to create a Star of David where Jupiter sextiles the Ascendant/Rising Sign in Virgo. A few minutes after that the Star of David is no longer present with that last sextile but at least you can see that it was present for a brief period of time. All the same, the trines and sextiles present provide plenty of easy and effortless energy to make our way out of the box. All I'm saying is that if you think outside of the box (the Grand Cross/Square) you will see all of this easy and effortless energy to help you. How you think and what you see makes all the difference in the world.

The Moon is still in Taurus today, which has a fixed and unmoveable nature. It is one thing to be firm, it another to be stubborn. Taurus energy serves us very well because it is cautious and steady, which is just what we need before making a big decision. Remember, the lunar cycle begins with rambunctious and impulsive Aries and then settles into the placid bull Taurus for a reason. This energy is supposed to steady us and help us get grounded before we progress forward. You want to be able to regain your composure before the lunar (Moon) energy heads off into Gemini, then Cancer, then Leo, etc. Taurus is practical and it is cautious. Taurus does not like the rug pulled out from underneath them and typically need a head's up first. For instance, it's best to give a Taurus notice such as, "We are leaving in 30 minutes." Then a follow-up, "We are leaving in 15 minutes." Then another follow-up, "Okay, we are leaving in 5 minutes." Then you can say; "It's time to go. We are leaving now." By the time the Moon rolls into Gemini, the energy is really going to be ready to go and won't need any notice. The mere suggestion of going anywhere will cause Gemini to be sitting in the car waiting excitedly on you, long before you even grab your keys.

For all Gemini's on the planet, this Taurus Moon affects your 12th house of the hidden realm and what is occurring behind the scenes. This is the time of the month where you may feel more like being alone than spending time with anyone. It's a great time for contemplation and solitude. Make certain that you do not over-think anything and put yourself into a funk (pouting and sulking mood). Quiet time is great for Gemini because now you can think clearly. Use your hidden strengths and make a plan for what you will do with them. This is a time to repair your own self-undoing and then use what you have learned to bump yourself up to the next level of your Life. This is a very exciting time when you allow yourself to think through it all. Also I have updated your Monthly Gemini Horoscope with your Sun and Mercury Opportunity. The Sun and Mercury moved into Virgo.
