Cosmic Daily

Rub the sleep out of your eyes upon awakening and avoid starting your workweek with a sense of confusion or frustration. Last night's Venus-Pluto adversarial dust-up may be still weighing upon you and wreaking some havoc on the love front. In addition, a Mercury-Neptune 45-degree contact (3:31AM EST) doesn't exactly make you want to sing a happen tune in the morning hours. However, you may be able to tweak that energy-field and utilize the positive vibes of Taurus Moon to reinforce your self-confidence as a business entrepreneur, artist, musician or hobbyist.

Gardening and Mother Nature draw you like a magnet today and tomorrow as the lunar orb graces the first earth sign of the zodiac. Keep an eye out for one of the faults of excessive Taurus - obstinacy. Refusing to accept the truth and holding on to the past can jeopardize your forward progress. This is especially important as Venus forms an awkward, 150-degree link to Saturn (8:51PM EST) just as the Sun connects to Ceres in a frictional 45-degree aspect (8:52PM EST).

These two alignments striking virtually simultaneously can knock you off course. Making crucial proposals to a loved one is not advised. Patience is very much a cardinal virtue for the time being concerning romantic bonds. Strive to remain productive in your main areas of expertise. Don't be surprised if you turn to science, mathematics and philosophy for answers in the latter part of the evening since the Moon approaches a supportive, 60-degree tie to innovative Uranus (5:56AM EST tomorrow) and nears a harmonious trine to expansive Jupiter (6:49AM EST tomorrow).
