Moon in Taurus
Your Moon sign describes your emotional and instinctual energies. Another key component in the makeup of the basic ego/personality, your Moon sign reveals those things you do instinctively, how you are likely to react emotionally, how you give and receive nurturing, as well as the genetic or cellular memories carried within the unconscious mind. It describes your emotional, instinctual, genetic and intuitive makeup.
When the Moon is in the sign of Taurus she is particularly strong, owing to her special connection with the sign of Taurus. Astrologers say that the Moon is exalted here, meaning that she is able to display her qualities of fecundity, nurturing, sustenance and fertility best in the earthy and creative sign of Taurus. Thus, those born with the Moon in Taurus often have a strong connection both to their own emotional needs and wants, as well as the needs and wants of others. Emotional security is experienced through material possessions, and through having a strong sense of self-worth. The Moon here lends the ability to draw to oneself the resources and experiences needed to make one feel comfortable and happy. Comfort is a key issue, and with the Moon here, you are likely to need to feel a great deal of comfort and security around you in order to be emotionally stable. You are likely to be instinctually connected to possessions (or their lack) and this will reflect greatly on how you view your self worth. For you, security and possessions often go hand in hand, and you do best to nurture yourself by making sure that these things are provided for in your life.
On an emotional level, you are likely to be warm, generous and giving. How demonstrative you are will depend on other factors in the chart, but as a bottom line, you are probably extremely generous and dependable, loyal and devoted to your friends, and very giving to your partners. This is a sign of great stability, patience and perseverance. You need to experience the warmth and security of loving relationships that can feed your need to share and enjoy life, and which nurture you in turn. There may be a tendency toward stubbornness and fixed emotional patterns, though this would only be likely if other factors added to the famed Taurean inclination for fixity. On the whole, you are probably very easy-going, generous and gentle, concerned with peace, harmony and beauty, and able to attract the same in return through your cooperative and harmonious nature. If at times you do display the more negative emotional qualities of jealousy and possessiveness also attached to this sign, it is usually because you have been pushed to that point by others, or other factors within the chart heighten such tendencies. (eg. Moon in the 8th house, Sun in Scorpio) All in all, this position is one of the nicest there is, and generally brings abundance, creativity and sensual comfort to the life experience, in order to be simply cherished and enjoyed. A word of warning might be said here though, about the tendency (in fact, the emotional need) toward indulgence and comfort. Overindulgence is a real possibility with this position, especially if the Moon links up with Jupiter, and you should be very careful to avoid excess in food, drink or just lazing around. Your love of comfort and abundance can turn to excess weight and blocked arteries very easily at a later stage in life.
