This cycle revolves around information, short trips, a greater involvement with neighbors, community, siblings and relatives. Communication is emphasized in all forms motivated by the wish to convey ideas and emotions to the largest audience possible. With the moon in Taurus, this might highlight a talent for writing or speaking, payment for services that provide knowledge, or training or study courses that offer the possibility for advancement.
However, your opinions and judgment are also subjective about what is factual or true, particularly in matters that affect your material security. Filtering information through a biased lens creates a challenge when you believe you’re objectively weighing the facts or when influenced by the persuasive delivery of an emotional argument that appears convincing.
But despite conviction, when your stance is founded on information or beliefs that lack real substance, conditions can trigger responses that create conflicts with coworkers and immediate superiors. Situations tend to prompt unexpected and emotional outbursts that cause trouble in friendships, group projects or organizations. With hurt feelings and emotions running high, it might signal a broken romantic attachment. Tension can also play out in family matters because of disagreements with a female child or close relatives who burden you with excessive demands. Interactions become too stimulating to the nervous system and tend to drain your physical energy creating the possibility for a temporary health setback. You should handle these situations carefully and try to avoid arguing.
Some of your frustration might also be stimulated by the sudden rise of problems related to electrical appliances, computers or vehicles. Alternatively, it may be threatening environmental or weather conditions that are of concern. If so, you’re advised to take the necessary measures and precautions to ensure safety for self and your possessions.
Although this moon’s transit carries an energy that ignites anger, chaos, and struggle, it can also be an indicator of strength and self control. Situations require restraint instead of physical or emotional violence. For some, this week signals the approach of a battle of wills or an impending lawsuit where an opposing force is creating a hindrance in reaching goals. However, if you agree with “no pain, no gain” as your modus operandi, you’ll accept that risk is usually a factor in getting ahead, and that to achieve the objective demands that you exert tremendous effort. What you desire can’t be accomplished with fear, hesitation, or apathy, and the message is to seize both the day and the opportunity to apply the greatest effort to reap rewards.
Oddly enough, this moon is also about love and harmonious relationships. This might highlight those who prize peace so dearly that they simply can’t tolerate hate and discord. This person could be gifted with a highly magnetic force and spiritual nature whose power and presence is felt and respected.
