The Taurus moon aspects Jupiter retrograde, Neptune retrograde, and Pluto retrograde before entering Gemini in the evening. The cosmic energy will make us all feel a little fuzzy and warm. Your heart will expand, giving you the incentive to step up your romantic game and express your feelings tenderly.

If you don’t feel like revealing your emotions to others, you can always do a few acts of kindness for the people you care about. These could include such things as cooking them dinner or drawing them a bath. The fact that you put the effort into doing something nice for them will touch them and help them appreciate you all the more. If they don’t, then it’s safe to say that they don’t deserve your attention and affection.

You can expect the same from others, and it’s important to show your appreciation and not take others for granted. You don’t want to hurt their feelings. Instead, make sure they know you noticed the goodness that they brought your way and added to your overall energy of the day.

The Moon is also void-of-course in stubborn Taurus for much of the day today, from 6:09 AM PDT, until 5:36 PM PDT. Entrenched opinions and unrealistic expectations don’t relent easily until the Moon’s entrance in Gemini this evening. New information creates a more comfortable environment, making room for adjustments and compromise. Mars trines Saturn, which may help us to set aside some of the more entrenched attitudes and approaches that are stalling our growth. Our attempts to convince others are more likely to bring us to the place where we question our own beliefs.

DAILY ORACLE

Deer Spirit is bringing you a gentle warning that now is not the time to engage in an argument, no matter how volatile others are being. Do not match their intensity with your own. If you are dealing with an overly assertive person, step back and disengage, lest you agree to something out of alignment with your intentions.

Don’t let anyone bully you into anything you’re uncomfortable with. You have solid footing if you stand your ground with grace; those who disagree will begin to find their own gentleness and willingness to compromise.

Deer Spirit also brings the message that it might be easy to offend someone today, or take offense because someone lacks diplomacy. Let all of that pass. You are not meant to take this world personally. While it’s a beautiful gift to be sensitive, today you need a tougher hide so that any compromises you make allow you to maintain your integrity.

In traditional Numerology, the 18 is usually reduced to the root number 9 by simply adding up its individual digits: 1 + 8 = 9.

This means that the primary energy that influences someone who is aligned with the energy of number 18 comes from the number 9 that lies at its root.

The number 9, you may recall, is a profoundly spiritual number which is associated with The Hermit in the Tarot, who goes off into the wilderness in search of spiritual fulfillment.

The number 18, however, is also strongly influenced by the numbers 1 and 8, which are highly materialistic numbers.

The 1 is the number of originality and leadership, brimming with confidence and charisma.

The number 8 is known as a power number which imparts the ability to accomplish great things, to build and manage vast organizations.

When these two numbers combine with the universal spiritual energy of number 9, it can lead to the establishment of a humanitarian organization, the use of wealth or connections for philanthropic purposes and the self-sufficiency and determination to produce profound outcomes for the betterment of humanity.
