Daily Horoscope: Moon Transiting Aries to Taurus

July 20, 2022

Moon transiting Aries to Taurus, Wednesday, July 20th, undermines self-control and good behavior by intensifying the urge to act on your desire, as the moon forms a T-square aspect pattern with Pluto retrograde in Capricorn, and the sun in Cancer conjunct Mercury in Leo, with nearby Mars in Taurus also squaring the sun and Mercury. Saying no to something you want, even if you must bend or break rules to get it, is not easy, while saying no to the demands or expectations of others is easier than usual, as Uranus in Taurus forms a trine aspect to Pluto, while also squaring Saturn retrograde in Aquarius. You may enjoy some bad behavior today, or you may suspect someone particularly challenging is deriving pleasure from their own bad attitude or behavior. The moon in Aries to Taurus, Jupiter in Aries, Neptune in Pisces, and Saturn in Aquarius, all exchange a mix of easy and difficult aspects with Venus in Cancer, which can make the idea of complicated love with a “bad boy/bad girl” type of partner appealing. While the sun and Mercury are trine to Jupiter and Neptune, you would be better off satisfying an urge for drama, tears, heartbreak, and forbidden or unrequited love, by immersing yourself in a movie, book, or music that romanticizes those things, rather than inviting them into your life — and if you are about to break any rules today, be prepared to apologize or make adequate restitution. “I couldn’t help myself” might be an accepted excuse now while we are all under the same transits, but there still could be a price to be paid.
