Friends, fans, and followers, thank you for visiting Nooz Buffet! We have a new lunar cycle beginning today, and this evening at approximately 5:45 PM, the Moon will be on the 3^rd degree of Taurus in the Eighth House.

Taurus is the natural ruler of the Second House, which is widely accepted as the house of money, but personal possessions and resources can be found there as well. The Bull, however, is not home. A small portion of Taurus is occupying the Seventh House, and approximately 27 degrees is in the Eighth House, which is where the Moon, Venus, and Uranus will be at 5:45 PM.

As the sun begins to set and the sky darkens, a cool night breeze blows in the unmistakable vibes of spring love. Many of us may feel warm and affectionate at this time. That, of course, is the manifestation of lunar energy through the sign of Taurus, but that’s the higher vibration (light side) of lunar energies through Taurus. The Moon’s energies can manifest as some of the darker qualities of Taurus as well, so if you’re not feeling warm, affectionate, or in a loving mood, then perhaps you should listen to reason.

Taurus is a fixed sign, and The Bull is known to be quite “bull-headed.” Some of us can be extremely stubborn, but we’re not talking about stubbornness in a good way-like persistence when trying to achieve something. We’re talking about being obstinate.

For example, a little while ago, you decided to do something, and this could literally be anything (including a plan to even the score or get revenge on someone). After several weeks, or possibly even a month or two, you began to realize that maybe your original plan wasn’t such a good one. Afterall, you were highly emotional, not thinking clearly, or maybe even drunk or high at the time.

At what point do you say to yourself, “Okay, enough is enough. This isn’t working, this isn’t going to work, and nothing good can come of this?”

If that point has come already, and you’re still going despite the warnings, despite what you know, and despite what the outcome will be, then stop being obstinate. Use Taurus as a guide through this time. Taurus is an earth sign, and the earth element relates to the senses and sensuality. If all else fails, and you still refuse to change course, then ask yourself, “Does what I’m doing make sense?”

If it doesn’t make sense, then you have your answer.

We see situations like this coming up every time there’s an earth sign involved, but especially with Taurus because Taurus is the fixed one. The issue is that we can often be led astray when pursuing things that appeal to our senses, and truthfully, love makes people do crazy things, but the dichotomy between good and bad can be really tricky.

Just because something is good, that doesn’t mean it’s good for us. The most beautiful woman or the most handsome man in the room could be a terrible match for us despite how he or she appears physically. Foods that taste great are often the worst for us. 

I think you know what I’m getting at here.

The Moon’s position in the Eighth House does indicate that something could be coming to an end, so as much as you refuse to let go of an idea or refuse to change course on a plan of action, the Universe might step in on your behalf.

Over the next five or six days, your dependability will be under scrutiny. There’s a lot going on, and people want to know if you’re going to show up.  People want to know if they can trust you. 

I suggest that you be honest with anyone you’re dealing with at this time, especially when it comes to love and business. If your heart isn’t in it, then that’s okay. Don’t lead anyone on, don’t toy with anyone, and don’t manipulate (even if you have the power to do so).

At 5:45 PM, Libra will be the rising sign, which means that Venus rules the chart. This is important because Venus also rules Taurus, and with Taurus in the Eight House, it’s out with the old and in with the new right now. It’s a really good time to purchase new clothes and freshen up your look. It’s also a good time to purchase new furniture or small things that can restore harmony and beauty to your home.

Alright everyone, thank you for reading, and thank you for visiting Nooz Buffet!
