Moon in Taurus
Your feelings rest in the body: food, touch, sleep, a house that feels safe. The Moon is honoured above all in Taurus, and change that comes fast is the one thing you cannot bear.
When everyone else is panicking you are buttering toast, and somehow the toast helps more than anything anyone says.
The old astrologers gave the Moon its place of highest honour in Taurus. Of all twelve signs, this is where it rests most easily, and people near you can feel it: they breathe out.
The body first
A feeling arrives in you as hunger, or tiredness, or an ache in the shoulders, and it passes when the body has been looked after. A warm bath, a slow breakfast, a long walk, a full night’s sleep: you tend the body first, because your feelings live there. You cook when you are anxious and eat when you are sad, and you know which is which. Touch settles you faster than talk, and a long hug does more than any conversation. Your host is Venus, so beauty matters to you more than you let on, and a jar of cheap flowers on a Monday fixes more than it should.
Change that comes fast
A move, a new manager, a plan that changes the night before: your first answer is no, and your body answers before you do, with a bad night or a lost appetite. It takes you a season to reach yes, and after that you settle into the new thing as if you had always lived there. A cold, ugly house drains you in a way nobody else seems to notice. You still own something you were given at six, and could put your hand on it in the dark.
The spare room
Yours is the spare room and the full fridge, and nobody who stays with you feels they are imposing. Friends come to you after the worst week of their year, and you ask no questions at first. You feed them, turn the heating up, and let the house do the talking. Home is the first thing you build anywhere: the lamp you brought, the mug that travels with you, the one good pan.
When a change frightens you, carry one familiar thing into it: the same breakfast, the same song, the same walk after dinner. Your body settles first, and the rest of you follows.
