Taurus

The lunar events falling across the week ahead, and what each means for you.

Sat 12 Sep

New Moon in Virgo

Aspect to Taurus Trine

Same element. The smoothest combination in the zodiac — mutual understanding without translation, at the risk of never being challenged.

Fri 18 Sep

First Quarter in Sagittarius

Aspect to Taurus Quincunx

Nothing in common: different element, different modality, different polarity. Requires deliberate effort to even understand each other.

Why this is a list rather than a story

The dates above are astronomy — they are the same for everyone and were fixed long before anyone asked. What is added is the geometry between each lunar position and your sign. Anything beyond that would be invention, and inventing it is what makes most long-range horoscopes worthless.

Computed for the week ahead

The moon changes sign 3 times in this period

Angles and focus below are computed against Taurus, so this table differs for every sign. How it is worked out →

0 harmonious angles to Taurus — trines and sextiles, where the moon's sign and yours share an element or a temperament.
3 tense ones — squares, oppositions and quincunxes, where the two signs have no easy way to translate between them.
Demanding is how the week ahead tilts for Taurus specifically. The dates below are the same for everyone; the angles are not.

Sun 13 Sep · moon enters Libra · Quincunx

Balance, fairness and acute awareness of other people. The moon is quincunx your sign — an awkward angle with nothing in common to work from — and for Taurus that meets confuses immovability with principle, and resists change long after it has stopped being optional.

Counting from Taurus, that sign occupies the 6th house — routine, the body and daily obligations.

Tue 15 Sep · moon enters Scorpio · Opposition

Intensity, privacy and refusal to accept surfaces. The moon stands opposite you, which puts your own traits in someone else's hands — and for Taurus that meets confuses immovability with principle, and resists change long after it has stopped being optional.

Counting from Taurus, that sign occupies the 7th house — partners, close others and negotiation.

Thu 17 Sep · moon enters Sagittarius · Quincunx

Expansion, honesty and appetite for the unfamiliar. The moon is quincunx your sign — an awkward angle with nothing in common to work from — and for Taurus that meets confuses immovability with principle, and resists change long after it has stopped being optional.

Counting from Taurus, that sign occupies the 8th house — intimacy, debts, and what is not being said.
