The Moon enters sensible and sensual Taurus at 7:46 am EST, encouraging us to express only our most basic needs. The Taurus Moon is concerned with simple acts and simple pleasures. But things may not be all that simple today, for the Sun forms an irritating aspect with restrictive Saturn. It's difficult for us to find that place of balance between being ourselves and respecting authority. In addition, Mercury-the-Communicator is stirring up some trouble. We'll question authority first and negotiate later.

ARIES (Mar 20–Apr 19): Early morning feistiness settles into mid-afternoon acceptance. It's not that you give up on what you want. Rather, it's that you become more realistic about what you can get. You begin to feel like you'd rather be assured of a partial success than risk it all. But even as you strike the deal, an inner voice is warning you not to accept less than what you need. If you do, you'll be plotting your escape soon enough.
TAURUS (Apr 20–May 20): Your high anxiety continues to work through its fears as the day progresses. You have set rather lofty goals for yourself, and now you might be realizing that you're not going to get quite as far as you anticipated. Instead of pushing harder, you could begin to relax. If you're not going all the way to the Moon, why even leave the comfort of Earth?
GEMINI (May 21–Jun 20): Try as hard as you'd like, but you won't be able to settle in and enjoy what's now being offered to you. Even if it is right within reach, as you grasp for it your arms shorten and you cannot quite touch the object of your desire. This, needless to say, is frustrating but there's not much you can do about it. Your attitude can change for the better once you accept the possibility that most things will not be easy now.
CANCER (Jun 21–Jul 22): Although you might have to stand up for what you need, it's difficult to know whether it's really worth making a fuss over it. You can get stubborn about something that may not be that important. But once you put up your defensive walls, it's nearly impossible for anyone to get through them unless they are willing to compromise. Even if you do get your way, you'll probably just find something else to worry about.
LEO (Jul 23–Aug 22): You may know what you need to do, but somehow it's more difficult than it should be. You could do one thing but feel like you should be doing something else. Even if you look for signals from your environment, you still might feel lost. Red lights and green lights will be giving you mixed messages. It will be hard for you to know where you stand. If possible, put off important decisions for a couple of day.
VIRGO (Aug 23–Sep 22): After a few days of feeling like you must take action--whether you were ready or not--now a more sensible wave washes through your life. You have a vision of where you are going, but no longer feel the necessity to make it happen immediately. Impulsive expressions give way to determination. You'll get to where you are heading because you know that time is on your side.
LIBRA (Sep 23–Oct 22): You might want to take the day off so that you can devote your time to expressing your creativity. You may just want to enjoy yourself. But previous commitments have your time all tied up. You find it difficult to make room for your artistic or visionary endeavors. And, even if you are in love, those pleasures also seem just out of reach. None of this is cause for worry. Things will turn around later in the day or by tomorrow.
SCORPIO (Oct 23–Nov 22): You are being tempted by the nicer things of life, but temptation may not get the best of you yet. Your responsibilities are keeping you on a short leash and even if you have a loving playmate to toss your favorite ball, you don't have the running room you need to enjoy yourself the way you'd like to. This creates a low-level frustration that can keep you on edge. If you didn't have others to worry about, you'd be able to play all you'd like. Instead, you need to postpone your pleasures.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22–Dec 21): If you could close your eyes and spend the day lost in dreamland, you would. This isn't normally the way you act, but you are falling under the pleasurable beams of Venus, as she lures you into the comfort of your own inner worlds. The bad news is that you do not have the luxury of dreaming your day away. The good news is that your attention to details--something you often avoid--will be the key now to your success.
CAPRICORN (Dec 22–Jan 19): Most of the time you know when to stop. You have a good sense of limits and you usually respect them in a way that works well for you. But now your boundaries are a bit more slippery than other times. It's hard to stop in time. If you are enjoying yourself, you could develop enough momentum so it's difficult to slow down. Your mental faculties are working on overtime as they try to justify your actions. You could talk yourself into or out of almost anything. Be careful. It will help if you can keep yourself anchored to someone that you trust.
AQUARIUS (Jan 20–Feb 18): You have some emotional business to take care of. It may be relationship related. It could be chores you need to do at home. It might even be about taking care of a family member. Whatever it is, it feels like it's getting in the way of something else in your life. You'll probably make the best of it and do what's required, but you could do a little kicking and screaming along the way. Be careful what you say today because words can come rushing out of your mouth before you've even thought about the consequences.
PISCES (Feb 19–Mar 19): You are looking at others in your life through rose-colored glasses. You don't necessarily see what everyone else is seeing, for you are being strongly influenced by your dreams and your hopes. Nice things look even nicer than they are. This can make you act without thinking clearly, for you are drawn toward expressions of love and beauty. Sweet pleasures may await you, but the reality may not be as sweet or as pleasurable as the fantasy.
