Cosmic Musings

So here's a story that hit different this morning. I ran out of my fancy coffee beans - you know, the expensive ones I'd convinced myself were essential to my existence. Cue internal meltdown. (Yes, really.)

There I was, staring at my empty coffee cabinet, feeling weirdly destabilized over something so small, when my neighbor knocked with her regular grocery store coffee, offering to share. My initial thought? "But it's not my brand." Yet there we were, sharing regular coffee and having the most genuine conversation we'd had in months.

It got me thinking about how often we grip onto external things, the right coffee, the perfect routine, the ideal circumstances: thinking they're keeping us stable. Meanwhile, the Moon sliding into Taurus is basically telling us that true stability isn't about having everything exactly as we want it.

Truth is, I've been doing this in bigger ways too. Holding onto comfortable but stagnant relationships. Avoiding tough conversations about my mom's health because change is scary. But here's what I'm learning: real security isn't about controlling everything around us - it's about being okay when we can't.

Maybe that's what this Taurus Moon energy is trying to teach us. That true stability comes from within, from knowing we're enough, even when things aren't exactly as planned. That sometimes the best form of self-respect is letting go of our death grip on external validation.

P.S. As I write this, I'm sipping on my neighbor's grocery store coffee. And you know what? It's actually pretty good.
