Aspects of the Moon in Taurus

 

Taurus Moons are down-to-Earth, and have a mellow attitude no matter what the Sun Sign.
The Moon is traditionally known to be “exalted” in Taurus. Taurus is an earth sign, and that’s feminine, and thus receptive. And the Moon is the receiver of the Sun’s light, so Taurus is a synchronous home for all the Moon represents — responding, instincts, feelings, the comfort zone.

Taurus Moons are more responsive than active, and that’s why they often seem passive, immovable. They want to feel sure of the steps forward, and can be ultra conservative about change.

Taurus generally is a sign that likes the familiar, the cozy and stable. The Moon shows what makes us feel secure, so for Moon Taurus, it’s all about building a solid life, with solid people.

Taurus is fixed energy, and that’s the current of settling in, and fleshing things out. Once Taurus Moon fixates on something — or someone — that goal becomes the stabilizing focus.

It can be hard to budge a Taurus Moon from his or her course, because there’s so much determination there.

Yes, they’re stubborn, and bull-headed, especially you’re trying to get them to welcome a change.
And yet, Taurus Moons are pleasure-seekers, and so, a pleasure to be around. Because they value relaxation, they make it a priority, and fully relish it. That has a jovial effect on the mood of the moment, and many good memories can shared.

To warm up to a Taurus Moon, invite them to a sensual feast of any kind — something that leaves the senses buzzing long afterwards.

Life is Good
The Moon in Taurus knows how to savor the good things in life, but also excels at taking care of business. They’re blessed with an emotional stability that gives them focus when all others are lost in confusion.

They have a take-charge nature, but everything is done with a deliberate style so that each step is on solid ground.

You might sense a confidence in money matters that makes them sought out for financial advice, and all kinds of practical wisdom. The Taurus Moon has an instinct for how to make the best use of the resources at hand. There might be long pauses as they weigh all the facts, and then blow everyone away with their thoughtful conclusion.

They know that “tending your own garden,” is how to build security, and don’t look to others to show them the way. In the cozy patch where they call home, they’ll likely have many intimate dinner parties that are a feast for the senses. A relaxed gathering suits their basically mellow nature over more frenetic and crowded situations.

They’re trustworthy, and will expect the same from their tight-knit circle of friends. The Taurus Moon is there to help with the favors that matter day to day, like fixing the car, helping you paint or lending you a little cash ‘til payday. But don’t make it a habit or take advantage of their willingness to help, or you’ll surely lose their respect.

The Moon in Taurus wants an affectionate mate that can dwell in that world of “sensing things.” It means not necessarily having to talk to communicate. For them, much begins in the kitchen, preparing and eating sumptuous meals, all the while staying connected to their lover through touch. You’ll discover this slow sensuality translates to a lingering and very romantic atmosphere in the bedroom.
