Folklore #010 Moon in the signs

Moon in Taurus is the comfort placement. Good food, good sheets, absolutely no sudden changes of plan.

Taurus is fixed earth, and the Moon is said to be exalted here, traditionally its happiest sign. The reading is steadiness and physical pleasure: cooking, gardening, sitting somewhere warm. The shadow side, tradition says, is refusing to move on something you should have moved on weeks ago.
