Mercury Moves Into Taurus At 6:27 AM
Right before sunrise, Mercury moves into practical Taurus. Under this transit, our minds may move a bit slowly. But that can be a positive thing. Remember the old adage, “slow and steady wins the race.” Taurus has us thinking deliberately and methodically. We may not be focusing very much on our spiritual or emotional needs right now. Instead, we are focusing on the physical world. We are thinking practically and turning our attention to the more concrete matters at hand. Planning for the future is at the forefront of our minds.
At this time, we are more likely to form lasting judgements about certain things. Extend your practicality to your critical thinking. Make sure to get all the information needed before forming your opinion.
The Moon Is Trine Neptune At 10:52 AM
This morning, the moon in sensitive Cancer forms a trine with creative Pisces. With both of these celestial bodies at home in their respective signs, our imaginations are reawakening. These watery signs are nourishing our spirits. Under the lunar Cancer, we are overwhelmed with empathy for our fellow humans as well as ourselves. Meanwhile, dreamy Pisces is filling us with an intense need to consume and create art. Our heightened empathy and artistic desires are driving us to create something that can help inspire others.
The Sun Moves Into Taurus At 4:30 PM
Later in the afternoon, the sun moves into patient and dependable Taurus. Our lives have thawed out under the fiery glow of Aries, but now it is Taurus season, and our ambitions are in full bloom.
Taurus is dedicated and goal-oriented. We have spent the last few months making plans and setting our intentions, and now it is time to set those plans in motion. We are approaching our objectives in a stable and level-headed manner. “Anything worth doing, is worth doing right,” is our mantra during this time.
Under Taurus, we can be entertaining and friendly, but we can also be controlling and stubborn. It is important that we remain level-headed — and the best way to maintain that sensibility is to know when to lead and when to listen.
The Moon Is Opposite Pluto At 7:58 PM
In the evening, the moon in emotional Cancer is in opposition with Pluto in hedonistic Capricorn. We may feel hypersensitive under this transit. Cancer has us feeling dejected and may create within us a tendency to self-deprecate. While Capricorn is filling us with an intense need to numb our sadness with self-indulgence.
Sometimes when we feel sad or depressed, it helps to distract ourselves with little pleasures. But we must remind ourselves not to over indulge or we may end up putting our health at risk.
