Daily aspects
This square can cause you to feel very lazy. You may just want to lie on the couch all day eating chips and ice cream, and drinking soda after soda. It's not a good time to invest money in any sort of real estate, or home décor, or renovations. It's also not a good time for any sort of risk taking or gambling, as your emotions will get too involved. If you are female, you may experience pain in the womb, hips and lower back while having your period.
This transit can cause a dreamy disposition, passive attitude, tendency to self-deception, imbalance, hypersensitivity, weakened instinctual life, and nervous disorders. You could also get lost in wishful thinking. Try not watch horror movies during this time, as it may disturb you, and could lead to vivid nightmares.
During this time, you have a wild nature, and can be very contentious. You may also be complacent and drawn to gambling. You may take sides for particular groups; there is only black or white. Due to your impulsiveness, your instinct suffers. Sometimes you are too sexually aggressive, and could be involved in suspicious behaviors. You should take good care of your health, because overexertion can affect your heart. You can hardly keep your self-control, love fighting and tend to overwork. In the love area, you have to learn to compromise.
extile Pluto (Gemini) This transit between the Moon and Pluto awakens your sentimental nature. You enjoy adventures and extreme actions. Your emotional life is very distinctive. The desire to travel awakens within you. You may go through a positive transformation of the mind. Dealings with taxes and joint finances will have a positive outcome.
The Taurus Moon helps us to preserve and increase money and material possessions. Security, compatibility, holding on to family are essential to us. These days we are very focused on our family and our home. And enjoyment in all areas is paramount.
