virgo sun/taurus moon: tangible progress & self-care

today the Sun continues in exacting Virgo, and the Moon moves into sensual stubborn Taurus (as of 7.40 am ET).

as we shift away from the Pisces Full Moon, and enter our first full week in Mercury Retrograde, the Taurus Moon assists us with a sense of calm and ease. we are in no mood to be rushed or prodded while the Moon is in Taurus. in fact, we may feel quite introverted, preferring to process our observations and experiences in total solitude, tucked away in our homes or in a favorite hiding spot.

the Taurus Moon squares Mercury Rx in copacetic Libra (at 8 degrees); making it hard for us to play nice and sound diplomatic with others when all we want is to be left alone.  there’s a tension between socializing and wanting to nurture ourselves in private.  our words may be interpreted as excessively cantankerous.

we want to be far from the madding crowd, just for now.

a Venus-Pluto sesquiquadrate aspect heads our way (exact early tomorrow, but we can feel the effects already): we may be suspicious of loved ones, doubting our worth and expecting others to “make it up” to us.  

Knowing that we can stay silent is helpful today; if someone is pushing you, avoid them entirely if you’d like to keep the peace.  the next day or so is ideal for quiet meditation, working on your to-do list in private, and personal replenishment.  You can safely avoid the bold moves and concentrate on self-care and incremental progress toward your goals.
