Taurus Moon Makes Us Realistic

Today’s sensible Taurus Moon helps us to keep our feet on the ground, while an enthusiastic trine between hyperactive Mars and overconfident Jupiter encourages us to fly. Spontaneous movement is indicated as both Mars and Jupiter are in air signs, yet it’s wise to consider the consequences of jumping off the edge of a cliff just because it sounds thrilling. For now, we must honor our desire for a little excitement without denying our need for safety.

Aries: A little bit of restraint will serve you well today, for you can only see the good news in whatever comes your way. Naturally, the power of positive thinking is on your side, but you can take this concept too far by ignoring the facts. It’s one thing to be an optimist; it’s quite another to be in denial.

Taurus: You are not likely to veer off course today, even if an alternate route looks better than the one you have already chosen. One of your strengths now is to be able to recognize that there are different ways to reach the same goal and that what works for someone else isn’t necessary your best choice. Graciously acknowledge the ideas that are presented to you and then get back to what you were doing.

Gemini: Active Mars is in your sign now and its harmonious trine with jolly Jupiter is enough to put you in a jovial mood. But don’t forget about your obligations; having a good time is not an excuse to get out of work. In fact, you can combine your serious responsibilities with a lighthearted attitude that enables you to be productive while still enjoying yourself. Just be careful that you don’t take on more than you can do.

Cancer: You have something to smile about today, but you might choose to keep it secret. Nevertheless, those closest to you can probably see right through your cautious facade. Don’t waste energy denying your happiness, even if there are other factors that require you to be more reserved. You are fully capable of feeling conflicting emotions and need not choose one over the other.

Leo: It’s a relief for you to let someone else take the lead today. Giving up control can actually be quite exhilarating on its own, but you are in luck now as your friends or co-workers probably have something fun in mind. Process whatever resistance is necessary to open up some playtime in your busy schedule. Your work will still be there when you return.

Virgo: You might attempt to retreat into a more private space, for too much social activity today makes you nervous. Unfortunately, you may have to incur a fair amount of interaction with others in order to do your job or to accomplish what is expected of you. If you withdraw, you’ll just feel the pressure build until you fulfill your commitments. Paradoxically, you could have a great time once you stop resisting the inevitable.

Libra: Today has all the makings of a wonderful day and you are up for whatever possibilities come your way. But as the day unfolds, it appears that you are more attached to a particular agenda than you previously thought. Someone may seem particularly stubborn and can become a thorn in your side until you realize that you are being inflexible, too. Relax into the changing circumstances and enjoy yourself while you can.

Scorpio: Something that recently bugged you seems less than bothersome now. Perhaps you learn additional information that you were previously missing. Or, maybe you have a change in your attitude. You may see the same person who was stubborn only yesterday as the source of steadfast support today. In any case, your openness to new experiences can attract exactly what you are seeking.

Sagittarius: You cannot escape the routine of your workday world now, but others can take you on a mini-adventure that brings you back relaxed and reinvigorated. Whether it is a fantastic discussion at a long lunch with friends or a peaceful nature walk with your sweetie, getting away for a bit today can be just what you need to clear your mind.

Capricorn: You are eager to get started on a new project, even if you don’t yet know where it will lead. Part of your willingness to make a commitment before you know all the details stems from your high level of self-confidence now. You are secure in knowing who you are and what you bring to the situation, freeing you up to say yes and ask the hard questions later on.

Aquarius: The possibilities for fun and games continue to grow, making it difficult for you to commit to any single path. But you must limit your activities because you cannot do everything. Still, you may try to take on more than you can handle, yet too much of a good thing can tire you out or cause indigestion. Practice moderation; a little self-restraint will allow you to have a better time in the long run.

Pisces: Your quiet emotional satisfaction may go unnoticed by most of those around you today. You can be very happy without the knowledge of your friends or co-workers. Meanwhile, an intimate partner or family member is able to see a different side of the story as your joy overflows and is easily expressed within a more private and personal venue.
