In the pre-dawn hours, the Taurus moon aligns with Venus, creating a sensual atmosphere. The moon and Venus are both extremely comfortable in this earthy domain. We can capitalize on our natural attractiveness, utilizing charm to get our way. However, we are genuinely more interested in giving back than receiving now. We know that the best relationships take time to grow and bloom. It is the quality, not the quantity, of the connections we’re investing in which matters most to us now! Taurean activities such as cooking, shopping, or gardening, can be used to build bonds with others.
Late in the morning, Mars squares off with retrograde Ceres. These two first squared off on November 22, 2022, when Mars was in retrograde motion. This influence can be upsetting! Tense events or interactions cause us to feel incompetent, something which know-it-all Gemini Mars and hypercritical Ceres in Virgo both really dislike! Beware of pushing advice on those who have not asked for it! At this time, we consider our intellect a badge of honor. On an unconscious level, we believe that anyone who doesn’t accept our guidance is calling our intelligence into question. This is probably not the case. Others simply have minds of their own and want to do things their way. While it will be tempting to assert our will inappropriately, meddling and pushiness will only create resentment. This is one of those days to quit while you’re ahead! Keep your eyes on your own paper and don’t stress about what others’ decisions say about you.
