The Moon moves into Taurus today. The sign of the practical and pragmatic, Taurus prioritizes security as well as sensual pleasures. These should be strong themes of the day especially as the Sun and Jupiter are also in this earthy sign. Just watch being overly attached to your routines and rituals.

While they can help provide order, if you’re too reliant on them, any disruption or change can cause undue stress. Try to maintain some flexibility. Those with planets in Taurus or the other earth signs-Virgo and Capricorn-may flow best when the Moon is placed here.

The Sun is at 28 degrees Taurus, the Moon is in Taurus,  Mercury is in Taurus, Venus is in Gemini and Mars is in Virgo. With this combination of planetary energies try to: Consider whether you would like to be an organ donor. Try not to: Tell your sweetheart they could stand to lose a few pounds.

Today’s exact aspects and their keywords are:

• Moon Sextile Neptune: Subtle and Sweet.
• Moon Trine Pluto: Inner Vision.
• Moon Trine Mars: Fireworks.
• Venus, Saturn, Pluto are retrograde.

And finally happy birthday to Tina Fey, Toyah Wilcox and Chow Yun-Fat.
