MOON ENTERS TAURUS - Dec 1 2006, Dec 29 2006, Jan 25 2007, Feb 21 2007, Mar 21 2007
The Moon in Taurus is in its exaltation which normally indicates that there is a graciousness and honor of some sort. When the Moon is in Taurus, there tends to be a focus on finances, and often money comes through on these days. This is the Moon of tradition, concerned with matters of the family and gatherings. It is usually “food first” for Taurus Moons. Bonding is more apparent with loved ones. There is a need to get more grounded and find some peace and quiet. You may be carting about people or supplies. Before automated vehicles, the bull pulled carts of supplies and people.) Taurus Moons can be lazier and more indulgent than usual. This can be a slow-moving couple of days with no rushing and lower blood pressure. The bull is more sensitive than they appear being also stubborn and not easily pulled off track. If there is a sense of being pressured this could incite rage especially if plans change without consulting the bull and then securing his/her approval. Don’t push, suggest. Find a way to make your pitch, sale or emotional plea politically palatable, practical and profitable to please and capture your benefactors’ attention. Remain sensitive and patient while watching the object of your attention become interested in your product. Making a pitch or sale with the Moon in Taurus can be tedious but you are often speaking to someone who has the means to fund your project or buy your products. If your can remember they don’t want to be pushed, they want to be seduced you will have much better luck. If you seem to be interested only in money you will loose their respect. When the Moon is in Taurus people like to buy things that are sensual to the touch. Fabrics need to be comfortable and relaxed but of high quality. Flannels, cottons and very soft wools are sought. Lots of food items, cooking and indoor/outdoor gardening are high on the activity list. This is a time to be nurtured and be nurturing. If the Taurus Moon occurs on an otherwise good day your powers of manipulation are strong. Your ability to move to the head of the line or the top of the list is greater today. Apply for a loan or mortgage. It is an excellent time for planting flowers and beautiful bushes. If you are a Taurus, matters tend to go your way.

Tuesday
SATURN STATIONARY - Dec 5 2006
There are no greater times in a year when Saturn brings us fatherly lessons as when Saturn is turning retrograde or direct in motion. On Tuesday December 5^th Saturn turns retrograde for the next four and a half months. This is normally a serious event. Saturn represents the law of manifestation. It is with the help of Saturn that things are actualized. Like building or buying house. Saturn manifests the structure and provides the framework within which we can build a solid base for living the life we choose for ourselves. Included are obligations that define related responsibilities, debts and boundaries associated with taking on the house.
As we and our projects develop there is a time to reassess our liabilities and assets. These times present a period when we must resist further expansion and work toward completion of our existing endeavors. Often this time is accompanied by a Saturn retrograde station when everything seems to come to a halt. Matters developing at this time hold serious indications. When engaging in the routine of heavy work matters move more slowly and are labor intensive. The slowed results can create a period of frustration as when waiting in the long lines of a bureaucratic desk. The time is filled with Saturn issues such as father, family obligations. His is not a lenient time for those handing down the law. Matters of real estate and career are at the top of the agenda as we approach the yearly Saturn retrograde station. Structural matters at the core of your life become the most important. This is a time when the preverbal faucet is tightened to a slow drip. Resources are often earmarked for necessities only, and those who lend and give financial support are scrutinizing and less generous. Entering into financial arrangements now may not be open for negotiation later. This is the time to pace your finances throughout the winter months until Saturn turns direct in the spring. It is best to pull back until you see the money in your account before taking on new projects or major purchases. Think of your intentions in this frame; “does this purchase or new endeavor create greater security and add to existing structures?” By creating reserves this adds to your sense of security. Security insures peace of mind. The entire insurance industry banks on your fear of a lack of security which motivates you to buy insurance–a fear of being without. This is a Saturn retrograde principal.
Saturn is not void of a sense of humor. You many find a comedy that accompanies the more serious matters that Saturn represents. The heaviness of this period brings thoughts of eliminating Saturn. But we would miss our chairs, floors and all those things we take for granted that hold our dear planet together and keep chaos at bay.
Retrograde Saturn in Leo may cause leaders to withdraw or hold back the frontline in battle. Problem may emerge with the health of those in charge. The decision to sell a company or business could increase during the change period from direct to retrograde. Real estate matters hold steady or decline.

Wednesday
MOON ENTERING CANCER - 1:00 a.m. Dec 6 2006.

The Cancer Moon is a nesting time and the desire to retreat and protect one's vulnerable underbelly is greater. The baby side of people surfaces and emotions are highly visible if you are at all able to get close enough as very often people are "crabby". This is a time to nurture and find a way to nurture yourself. People stick to their clans and cliques being less likely to socialize with outsiders and seem to be comfortable with close family members. Matters of saving and providing for necessities are concerns. Food preparation and shared meals are more important. Matters of cash as related to security, real estate and patriotism are Cancer matters. Issues involving dependency or defensiveness are likely to arise with the Moon here. What people need to survive also takes precedence. Headlines are more dramatic than usual. This is a great Moon for planting vegetables and the most fertile sign of the zodiac. The best time to plant fruits and vegetables and general planting. If you are a Cancer, matters tend to go your way. Enjoy family dinners and nestle in with a loved one.

MOON ENTERING LEO - 6:52 a.m. Dec 8 2006
Confidence is found when the Moon transits the sign of Leo. A Leo Moon can bring sunny and playful moods, but this is a demanding couple of days for business and personal matters. The increase in confidence allows your assertive and executive side to emerge. This is a time for "the show" or a presentation. Issues in various areas of life can be showy in nature and then the spot light is waiting for the "show off". At times overconfidence develops into arrogance with a stubborn streak. On a positive note it can be a time when your confidence is up and you are able to stay on track with a goal in mind and risk taking increases. Speculation and gambling are associated with the sign of Leo. A healthy dose of these things can enhance your chances for a prize. Too much of a good thing is obviously a scenario for a problem.
The Leo pride may be an asset or liability. These couple of days work best if your express your love and appreciation for those around you, remembering to offer praise. Your generosity can be contagious as enthusiasm inspires an air of good will. It is a time when your actions are closely scrutinized as if on stage. Making every effort to be well informed and prepared in all of your activities even if today is not show time, as the Leo energy strives for perfection. This is a good time for quality time with children. Also investing time in your creative projects or anything you might consider your "baby". The children in your life are a source of joy but and need your undivided attention. Maintain a balance for love given and received. If you love it, then show it. This is a good time to tidy your garden for show but this Moon sign is considered barren and will not produce if you plant during this time. This is a great time to buy flowers for yourself or someone you love. If you are a Leo, matters tend to go your way.
