The Moon in Taurus conjunct Mars in Taurus at exactly 12:06 PM EDT. Lunar aspects have an 'orb of influence' of 12 to 14 hours 'before' and 'after' their exactness.

Today is lightweight day on aspects, yet it is a heavy day because Taurus holds a lot of weight, meaning groundedness. Taurus energy is firmly rooted, planted and set. In other words, cow-tipping is bullsh!t. Pun intended.

There was actually research done on cow-tipping and it revealed that cow-tipping "has no leg to stand." It was found that it would take five (5) people to gather enough strength to push over a cow. The researchers surmised that the standing cow was holding completely still. Cows, bulls, Taurus's are like that . . . they hold their ground.

Needless to say, but I'll say it anyway, Taurus's are not a 'pushover'. Further, cows DO NOT sleep standing up, like horses do. Research it!

This is the part where you stop reading and think to yourself, "Self, where is Taurus in my chart?" So then your 'self' stops reading, gets out your chart and checks the chart. And if your 'self' cannot yet make out the symbols, then your 'self' would go to 'The Houses' section to read which house is ruled by Taurus. BAM! And if you do 'not' have a house ruled by Taurus, then it must be an interception, meaning it is in-between two (2) houses and fell through the cracks. And if I wrote your Natal Chart or Solar Return then there is a section called, 'Interceptions' that explains how to pull the Taurus energy out of your chart, which would mean you go to the planet that is ruled by Taurus, which is 'Venus' and focus on pulling out 'that' energy. Cool huh?

So the Moon is in Taurus today conjunct Mars in Taurus. When you see Mars in this position, you might be thinking, "Isn't Mars energy the opposite of Venus energy?" Well yes it is my dear Astrotator! Remember the book, 'Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus.' They are opposite energies - feminine vs. masculine, estrogen vs. testosterone, yin vs. yang, female vs. male, in vs. out, soft vs. hard. I could go on and on.

So here we have the opposite energy of Taurus (Mars) influencing its actions today. Keep in mind that when a planet is in its opposite sign, it is in its detriment. While Mars is the natural ruling sign of Aries, it is also the ancient-ruling sign of Scorpio. This is why Mars is in its detriment in the sign of Libra and Taurus, since Libra is Aries opposite sign and Taurus is Scorpio's opposite sign. Check out the chart for 'Dignity and Debility Here!' Folks, this chart has been on this website for YEARS! Maybe at least fifteen (15) years. You might explore the site deeper using the navigation column to your left when any Astrology page is open.

The Moon conjunct Mars is intensified, which makes this energy impulsive, over-emotional, assertive and overly aggressive, all under the guise and name of Taurus. Well Taurus rules our self-worth and our net-worth, meaning our personal finances and earned income. This energy can cause you to spend aggressively or assertively without thinking of the consequences. Make your purchase matter and make certain that it has value. Taurus wants quality and value.

This energy can get 'in your face' and show up negatively as a bully or as one who leads others down a dark and dangerous path. This aspect can easily lead to emotional outbursts and violent reactions. We are already living in the 'Summer from Hell' so this just adds fuel to the fire. And remember folks, where there is smoke, there is fire, whether that is emotional, chemical or blazing flames, of which we are seeing in this 'Summer from Hell' on many different levels. Keep yourself cool takes on a whole new meaning.

This aspect can be jealous, cruel, angry and abusive, and it will make enemies out of friends or it will make enemies more than friends. This aspect 'can be' helped from a Saturn or Mercury influence, but since Saturn is in Aquarius, then it will square Taurus tomorrow. And since Mercury is in Leo, it squared Taurus yesterday. So Mercury and Saturn are of no help to us today.

This means you will need to be conscious, aware, mindful, chill and back-away from the conversation at first indication of angst. This aspect is on a crusade and there will be NO COW-TIPPING going on because cows and bulls are going to hold their ground. They are NOT going to move. YOU MOVE! This aspect indicates an individual on a crusade or there will be picketing and fist pumping in the air.
