Satisfying Both the Moon and Me

The Moon's currently in Taurus.

For me, when the Moon's in Taurus, it's gliding through my 12th house (except for the last 8 hours or so, when it's gliding through my 1st).

I don't know about you, but when the Moon is in my 12th house, I often find it challenging to occupy myself in emotionally satisfying ways.

Granted, I do realize that doing something related to spirituality... and activities conducted in seclusion .. and altruism can all be great uses of 12th-house time.

Sometimes, though, I just don't feel emotionally / physically / mentally up to acting altruistically ... or doing something all that "spiritual" ... and yet I don't necessarily want to seclude myself either ... while the Moon's in my 12th house.

So this weekend, I decided to take the 12th-house lunar bull by the horns.

I started creating a set of worksheets to help me (and others) come up with good things to do when the Moon is in each of the signs...

... things that are attuned to the spirit of each sign...

... and after working on the sheets for Moon in Taurus and Moon in Gemini...

... I managed to come up with something novel to do, related to my Moon being in Taurus and my 12th house.

Specifically, I tried using the wireless on my laptop out in the yard, for the first time.

(I moved into my house a year ago, but my old laptop was basically on life support, in a coma ... so I couldn't use the wireless. Recently, I pulled the plug on that laptop, so to speak; and I bought a new one.)

As I write this, I'm nestled near a tree and some bushes, enjoying the fresh, cool air as the Sun climbs higher in the sky, behind me...

... and, thanks to the wireless, I'm listening to songs by the cast of "Glee" (and others) on  a radio station that I created on Pandora.

By doing this, I'm accomplishing (count 'em) four things related to the Moon being in Taurus.

1. I'm doing something related to NATURE. I'm outside in the yard, surrounded by trees and bushes, a big blue sky, and birds. 
2. I'm doing something SENSUAL. I'm listening to music, looking at the greenery, and feeling the air moving on my skin. That leaves two other "natural" senses that I might satisfy... and you never know when I might catch a whiff of something on the breeze .... or go grab a mid-morning snack. :-)
3. Except for my fingers moving on the keyboard ... and stretching my legs now and then, I'm sitting STILL.
4. I'm even doing something PRACTICAL insofar as I'm sharing all of this with you on this blog, which relates to my vocation as an astrologer.

Yes, I'm still semi-secluded. I'm alone (at least at the moment)..

... but I'm a happier camper than I'd be if I were cooped up alone, say, in my bedroom.

And that satisfies both the Moon and me.
