3rd Quarter Moon in Taurus

August 18, 2022 | 9:35 pm (PST) | Keyword: Ingenuity

The Moon is languorously inching her way through the sign of Taurus as you work toward manifesting desires to fruition. This may be in the form of artistic and musical creativity or a propensity for combining business instincts with sensitivity in the fields of art, luxury items, or spirituality. An artistic flair may be incorporated into such careers as those who work as designers, architects, engineers, and carpenters. The energy is also supportive of those involved in politics or working for municipal government agencies.

Right now you’re extremely resourceful and determined to diligently work toward your goals or to enter a creative pursuit. An emotional need to establish material security above all else coupled with strong imagination and creative talents can help you bring ideals into reality. The events that take place at this time will center primarily on individuals with strong Taurus in the natal chart (sun, moon, or rising).

There’s a pronounced focus on making plans that bring financial stability and a review of any arrangements that keep you financially dependent or undermine your self worth. Fluctuations in personal income may trigger concerns about whether your current salary can provide the economic security you need. Perhaps it’s difficult to expect a steady flow of funds if you’re self-employed, working on commission, part-time, or as needed. Additionally, problematic situations surrounding children and money or resistance to changing conditions underscores the need to avoid extravagant purchases. However, personal income has the potential to either increase or decrease depending on the level of motivation to make more money. While you tend to enjoy the luxuries of life, you can vacillate between being careless and thrifty with money. As a result, you’re now forced to more carefully scrutinize spending practices and saving habits. Alternatively, the goal may be to put a plan in place for a rainy day or save for a major expenditure such as the purchase of a home. If so, the emphasis on money is not purely for materialism, but rather a need for surety in the investment toward financial solidity.

Negatively, this moon is bound with the urgency of Mars at critical degree which may cause you to feel nervous, agitated, and eager for argument. This also marks the end of a monetary cycle where you can either file bankruptcy, finally pull out of debt, or close a cycle involving real estate. Although some sort of debt is indicated, a new financial cycle is on the immediate horizon. While the process is underway, impulsive energy compels you to do something, yet you lack the necessary patience for projects to develop. In the interim, use this restless energy to tackle heavy housework, cleaning, or repairs. Do take caution of accidents and the careful handling of tools and instruments. Beware of possible infections or inflammations that affect the throat, including the neck, thyroid gland, and vocal tract.

This moon’s conjunction with Algol also implies that some of the situations of this cycle will carry a measure of intensity, melancholy, sadness, or loss. You may feel keenly aware of being plagued by personal tragedy, whether your own or that of others. This period is characterized by anger at injustice as people become more perceptive and sensitive to difficult social issues. This will motivate some to serve as critic or commentator on social ills or to address the imbalances in the world.

Fortunately, the moon’s placement triggers the eclipse of November 2021 signifying good news, a joyful peak experience, or a benefit. At some point, you may receive assistance through a parent, boss, or an authority figure with sound business sense, organization, and planning ability upon which you can rely. It may be success in seeking a favor, a raise, or job from a superior. An increase in earnings is also possible through the recognition of past efforts, additional responsibilities, and the payment of money owed from the past.

The keyword for this cycle is ingenuity and those who are gifted with inventive ability and mind have the strong potential to produce work that will benefit humanity or materialize ideas others only dream of. The emphasis is on thought and mind, particularly as the energy of the Universe manifests in the intellect of each person. The energy expresses as the successful solution of an intellectual problem or the necessity of applying intelligence to a current dilemma in a manner that is noble rather than cunning.
