Lunar Taurus woke up on the wrong side of the bed this morning and decided to make it everybody’s problem. Our afternoon starts off with the moon forming a conjunction with Uranus, causing us to be restrained yet resolute. Later the moon will form an opposition with Venus, cranking our emotions up to eleven!
The Moon Is Conjunct Uranus at 1:05 PM
Around lunchtime, the moon in stubborn Taurus forms an acrimonious conjunction with Uranus, also in Taurus. With this conjunction, we are struggling to find our inner balance. We also may find ourselves falling back into bad habits. With two celestial bodies in Taurus, it may feel like these bulls are butting heads.
Taurus’ uncompromising nature may make it difficult for others to reason or rationalize with us. We are obstinate and immovable. Once we have made up our mind about something, there is very little that someone could say to make us change it. Under this placement, we may be very unresponsive to constructive criticism.
It can be really hard to take advice sometimes especially when it is unwarranted. But heeding the advice of others may help us see our situation in a new light. If you cannot handle advice or differing opinions at the moment, it is alright to say something along the lines of, “I’m not in a place to accept criticism right now.”
On a lighter note, romantic affairs may pop up at this time. Though our tenacity may make us feel closed off, it is important that we keep our hearts open.
The Moon Is Opposite Venus at 4:19 PM
A few hours later, the moon in Taurus forms an opposition with Venus in aggressive Scorpio. Under this opposition, our emotions are intense, but we are having trouble communicating them.
The moon rules our emotions, and when the moon is in Taurus we can feel dedicated and patient. But we can also lack the ability to compromise. Venus rules our affection and self-gratification. When Venus is in Scorpio, we gain satisfaction through our passion and adventurous spirit. But during this transit, our suspicious and confrontational nature can hinder us from taking pleasure in anything.
When these signs face off, we may have passionate urges, but we feel stubborn and unable to act on them. This tenacity can lead to dissatisfaction which then may lead to disputes with our loved ones.
Though it may be difficult, open communication is the key to combating this discontent. Our friends and partners cannot help us feel safe and secure, if we do not open up to them about how we feel. Talk it out, but don’t forget to listen as well.
