At 6:53 PM PT, the Moon settles into steady Taurus, shifting our focus from Aries' rapid-fire energy to something more grounded and sensuous. This transition often feels like a collective exhale, after days of action and assertion, Taurus Moon invites us to slow down, appreciate beauty, and tend to our physical needs. This lunar energy emphasizes stability, comfort, and the simple pleasures that nourish our souls. You might find yourself craving good food, comfortable surroundings, or time in nature.

Today is perfect for a birth chart reading focused on your Venus placement and second house, which govern how you experience pleasure, security, and self-worth. Understanding your Taurus/Venus connections can illuminate your relationship with money, comfort, and what truly makes you feel valued and secure in the world.

There's something almost magical about feeling a lunar transition in real time, like watching weather change from inside your own body. The restless need to do, do, do was gradually being replaced by a deeper need to simply be.

Taurus Moon energy doesn't rush; it savors.

Thee past few days had been about discovering what I wanted and going after it; but today Is all about appreciating what I already have. There's wisdom in both movements, the reaching forward and the settling in.

I've been thinking about how our culture celebrates the Aries energy – the go-getters, the disruptors, the ones who make things happen. But we're less comfortable with Taurus energy, the slow deliberation, the insistence on comfort, the refusal to be rushed.

We call it lazy or indulgent, when really it's just a different kind of intelligence. The intelligence that knows when enough is enough, when faster isn't better, when the point isn't to arrive but to enjoy the journey.

As I walked home after breakfast, taking my time, noticing the way the evening light hit the buildings, feeling grateful for everything that surrounds me, I realized something important: Aries Moon had helped me claim my fire, and now Taurus Moon was teaching me how to tend it sustainably.

Both energies are necessary. Both are sacred. And both are reminding me that self-care isn't selfish, it's how we maintain the energy to show up fully for our lives.
