The Moon enters Taurus at 1:16 PM PDT, and around 5 PM Pacific we see a quincunx to the Sun and a trine to Pluto, bringing an interesting emotional possibility: we may feel two pressures, both an internal need to adjust the Self, and an external requirement for some change, particularly to the emotional perceptions or interpretation, and these changes may center on the material (Taurus). Transformation of assets or artisanal skills and exploitation of these may be both easy and desirable; this contact can bring a point that pushes accomplishment in material realms forward nicely. How we feel about it, or process it internally, may be another matter–we may be ill at ease with the new course or may just feel things are moving too quickly, though grounding ourselves (through diet, movement, or meditation) will show us that the rate of ‘flow’ is exactly right for us, and allow us to relax and enjoy the change in scene. Look to the natal House with Taurus on the cusp for best forms of grounding (conversation on the 3rd, perhaps, a good meal on the 4th, group-keyed creativity on the 11th, or a wee bit of travel or learning something new on the 9th, for example).
3 AM PDT of the 26th brings the Moon’s opposition to randy Mars in Scorpio–but fresh off contact with Pluto, the Taurus Moon is ready. Though this may present as an adversarial situation, it can be fun and games for all if we keep some perspective, chiefly available through awareness of where either sweetness or scrappiness might lead (Moon trine North Node) and that what develops here might put down roots (Moon quincunx Saturn in Libra) so we’d better make something pleasant and perhaps partner or Arts-oriented.
By 9 AM of the 26th the Moon has moved on to oppose Venus, like her Arian counterpart also in feisty Scorpio. This is when we see whether our earlier choices were good ones–choose lovin’ not fghtin’ and it’ll work out well! For some this will bring forward issues of love or money that have been coming to a boil for some time; face them head on but don’t freak out or exaggerate the situation–either situation (relationships or finances) can be salvaged, or at least put on a positive track, if patience and a willingness to see things for what they are, and to do what’s needed, is adopted and followed through on–fairly easy to do with Moon in Taurus, even though the pace may be a little plodding, you get there eventually, one step at a time!
One other thing I’d like to note for this period: the Sun is coming up on its annual conjunction with Saturn, this time in Libra; what is it about the Fall, and this meeting, that says Marriage to me? There are some obvious connections, of course, but I think we’ll all be wedding something or someone at this point–make a good choice, ’cause this union may stick! (Saturn in Libra).

Julie Demboski's ASTROLOGY 
there seems to be a sensitivity, (anger) over what people are doing with money. We think ( libra/saturn/sun), and have the distinct feeling that you are stealing our stuff, (scorpio/venus/mars). They feel (pisces/jupiter/neptune) the ripples, political fall-out. Libra is stuck civilizing a rogue elephant (capricorn NN/pluto square libra sun/saturn) and becomes quite exhausted. The elephant sees where the money’s hidden and wants to make hay out of it, exposing, trumpiting stomping.
Quite possibly so, this anger over money, though I’m seeing the energy take a lot of forms.
“Libra is stuck civilizing a rogue elephant . . . and becomes quite exhausted.” Oh, how did you know so much about my marriage? lol Libra (me) and the rogue elephant (my Sag rising sign and Moon husband, with Sagittarius as ruler of large animals)–your phrase describes us to a ‘T’!

The wedding you are feeling may relate (!) to the Marriage of the Christ Consciousness and The Divine Feminine energies on 10-10-10. Thus a harmony is possible on planet earth and a balance that has not been possible up to this point. Truely a milestone in the birth of the New Earth.
There may be a coming together of these elements, but 10-10-10 is a human designation, not cosmic; though I’m a firm believer in all parts of creation vibrating in their spheres, and this having correspondences, I don’t think our numbering system for dates relates to those vibrations, simply because the designation for any particular day is essentially random–otherwise we wouldn’t find various calendars in existence–in the West we wouldn’t have changed from Julian to Gregorian–for which one is ‘right’? But, let’s hope I’m wrong about the arbitrariness of the designations, as that would indeed be a spectacular marriage (which I think is probably already in existence–how else would we be here, in human/ animal bodies, without the co-operation of both?) jd

conquering w/ famous libra charm, like a tiny brightly dressed handler …malaysian tsunami …elephants heard the distant vibrations of the earthquake, broke free the vestigial chains, (they agree to tethering in exchange for hay) and ran to highground. Apparently they collected the better dressed europeans on the way, tossing them on their backs. all 7min befor any indication of disaster. The elephants knew how to wait it out, on the hills, while below havoc was the rule. So you never know when that kind of energy will arrive to save the day
You are quite right–I must allow the elephant to rush in and save the day a little more often!

The 8-8-8, 9-9-9 and 10-10-10 and many other dates are certainly being used as numerological/astrological portals to bring new and changed energies onto the planet to elevate the entire vibration not only of the planet itself but the entire human race (who are willing to take the ride) . The dates allow for the portals to be best used, as another date must not by numerical and/or astrological determination be best suited to the event. Be also aware that we are at the coincidence of all calendars – 2012/13 and the book is to be rewritten anew. Be not uncertain that groups of beings, Archangels, Masters and multitudes of others are all working – some incarnate – to achieve the best possible result and the transformation and transfiguration of all.
Clearly, I disagree–and your pseudo-Biblical language suggests you feel you have superior knowledge–in which case, you’ve really got no need for what I do here. Go in Peace.
