After days of tumultuous, amped-up Aries energy, we might all welcome the calm, steady pace of the Moon in Taurus. Starting Saturday evening, our feeling self sloooooooows down, ready to chill out. There's still plenty of Aries energy around, but this Taurus Moon gives us a chance to watch it flow without feeling we need to jump into action.

A soft sextile with Neptune offers more relaxation, opening the door to gentle dreams overnight. Sparks from Uranus and the Sun in Aries, arriving overnight, could spice up those dreams with unexpected images and pointed messages, so keep pen and paper handy. The overall feeling tone, though, should be calmer than the week just past.

Sunday itself offers steady energy to get things done. No need to rush, take things step by step, and you could be surprised at how much gets accomplished. The Moon is waxing now and everything naturally increases.

The Taurus Moon flows with Mars and Pluto, ready to build solid foundations. A flow of energy with Chiron connects us with healing and mentoring. Maybe some good advice comes our way.

The day ends with a conjunction with generous Jupiter, crowning our efforts with good fortune––and possibly good company and good food as well. A great evening to spend time with friends.

Monday reminds us that all waters are not calm, and then shows us a remedy. Very early, the Aries Sun makes an awkward connection with Mars in Virgo: A need to check details before rushing ahead. Then Mercury in dreamy Pisces makes a similar awkward connection with Saturn in Libra: Again, the idea of coming up against obstacles presents itself.

Yet Monday's only daytime aspect is the Moon's conjunction with Venus, together in Taurus, the sensuous and grounded sign that Venus rules. Self care, loving the Earth, relaxing into what feels good in a healthy way––the Moon and Venus love these choices.

Very early Tuesday, the Moon flows easily with Mercury, possibly bringing lovely dreams or perhaps simply a night of deep, restful sleep. This last classical aspect in Taurus begins the Moon's void of course time, pushing an awkward connection with Saturn into that void.

Tuesday we'll wake up bright and bushy-tailed with the Moon in Gemini, ready to connect, talk, explore, everything all at once. Before we get there, with the Taurus Moon, we relax and recharge, and also get stuff done. Good combination!
