In the morning, the Taurus moon sextiles Saturn in Pisces, offering patience. Under this influence, slow and steady wins the race. Emotional satisfaction is achieved by taking care of business or attending to responsibilities. Completing work or helping someone in need shores up our sense of security and causes us to feel successful. We might be given some sort of professional recognition for our work ethic or follow-through on a project. This isn’t the most social influence. We may not be interested in mixing or mingling unless there is pertinent information to communicate. However, we won’t be averse to exchanges, it’s simply that small talk isn’t in the pipeline!
The cosmic weather is then exceedingly quiet until after nightfall, when the moon trines Mercury in Virgo, harmonizing logic and intuition. With both planets involved transiting earth signs, we adopt a grounded, no-nonsense approach to communication. We expect our conversations to be mature, respectful, and reasonable. This is an ideal time to get to the bottom of an issue because we aren’t interested in jumping to conclusions. It’s more important to us that we make a sensible judgment call. We want our decisions to move the needle forward.In this respect, we’re more concerned with being accurate than being “right.” But this doesn’t mean that every chat must be “heavy.” We will probably exit interactions feeling like we’ve made headway, learned an important new bit of information, built a bond, or found common ground.
