The Moon is in Taurus at the outset of Friday and there is a need to touch and feel and get back to nature that resonates with us all during this transit. This is a sign of making and building, of growing and cultivating and Taurus is known for the patience required to see anything through until the harvest when the fruits of your labour and hard work can be accrued. We will have tolerance for at least part of this day. 

The Moon is in calm and composed Taurus today and we will be happy to see everything as it is and we have known it to be. This is a sign that loves things to stay the same, it moves at it's own pace, unhurried, slowly, securely and in a measured way. The Moon in Taurus loves a bit of comfort and luxury too and it will work hard to achieve these aims, and we will do our bit to make sure that these needs are met. There is a good work ethic here today, and a sense that it's good to get back to basics, and to what we know. 

The Moon starts today in the sign of Aries therefore we have drive, ambition, impatience and enthusiasm. We may be a little brusque, and the potential for us to act first and think later will be ever present. Our emotions will be very direct and we will go for exactly what we want, without thinking of the needs of other. Yes we can be just a little bit selfish in our attitudes this morning. 

Seeking a thrill

The Moon starts of it's journey today in the final degrees of Pisces and before it ends this particular cycle and begins a new one around the wheel, it has one last aspect to make and that is a trine to Mars in Scorpio. This is watery energy and yet with Mars involved there is force and speed. This is like the rapids of the river, swirling, churning with dangerous rocks underneath the surface that we cannot see. This trine brings much emotion to succeed and we will do in our power to be pre-eminent while trying to avoid the pitfalls in our way.
