How can Taurus moons find the peace and harmony they are looking for? Let’s have a look at behaviour, work and relationships!
Remember accurate astrology requires a look at the whole chart – the moon is only one part of it, albeit one of the most important! The house the moon is in and its aspects will also strongly affect its expression.

Personality
Moon in Taurus people are often creatures of habit, this can be a blessing or a curse depending on how you use it! Being a fixed earth sign ruled by Venus there is a great draw towards beauty, pleasure, music, nature, food and touch.
But stresses can cause a Taurus moon to gravitate to old habits, addictions and other pleasure distractions. Rather than relieving your stresses and discomfort with unhealthy foods or addictions; have a massage, get yourself in nature (even a local park!) and find some ‘go to’ recipes that nourish your being or just relax on your favourite couch with an aromatic tea. You might find it difficult to get new things started – recognise that once you have established positive habits they will be easier to maintain than for some other moon signs. This takes time but patience and persistence are your super-power.
Be careful with a tendency to hold on to emotions, although emotional outbursts are less likely with a Taurus moon, not having a way to express or process them may aggravate a sense of melancholy. It might lead to an emotional “bloating”, which can be relieved for example through art – putting your emotions to work in painting or music, going for an art related therapy form to release accumulated emotional clutter.
You tend to get too stuck in your ways, recognise that there are likely other aspects of yourself that need to be integrated too. Once you have established a strong base of security you can let go a bit more, get out of your comfort zone and welcome the spontaneous and often surprising experiences that life can provide. Remember you are in possession of your emotions, but letting go of some of them will make room for better, richer ones.
At Work
Taurus moons have a need for financial stability and security. They can make an excellent member of a team as they are reliable and dependable. Generally less ambitious, if basic needs are met there may be a contentment which is beneficial so long as it isn’t stifling further growth and development. They can be very dedicated at what they do but there is a risk of staying stuck in things that don’t bring fulfilment. If you aren’t happy in your job it may take a while before being able to break away and move on. We’ll come to some examples of things to consider shortly.
Generally, there may be issues with procrastination. Finding ways to motivate yourself will help to keep you on track. Think about the kinds of rewards or treats you can give yourself to encourage getting into a good rhythm.
Taurus moons’ stability can mean they are a good support for others and so they can shine in caring professions. Their love of the natural world can make them great farmers, gardeners or herbalists. Their patience and love of beauty can help them to maintain the necessary practice to be a musician, painter or potter. Singing is strongly associated with Taurus moons as Taurus also rules the neck. Working in design, finance or even feeding people can all be professions that utilise Taurus moon’s assets in a positive way.
In Romance
In romantic relationships, you Taurus moons benefit greatly from the emotional stability it can bring. You enjoy the mutual care-giving that a relationship can offer. This can however be diminished in relationships that don’t give a sense of continuity, long-term commitments. If the other person is too unpredictable then this may also cause upset. Taurus, you would like a partner that offers you calmness, stability and permanence in the relationship; who nurtures you with their amazing cooking skills, participates in peaceful “adventures” like going for a walk in the forest, gets you that warm, supersoft winter scarf for some added comfort. A Taurus moon appreciates the simple things, sharing meals, massages, exchanging gifts and other material expressions of love.
You yourself are a soft, gentle, warm hearted, nurturing partner, one that offers a stable and permanent relationship. You have a reassuring capability of appreciating others. You love to provide for your partner and show love through sharing life’s pleasures with them.
The more difficult side of you – you can be quite rigid and inflexible emotionally. You might be perceived as one who avoids facing relationship issues, being inactive and somewhat intolerant and for some even critical of their ways of being. Putting an emotional wall up for protection doesn’t make the problems go away. When there are issues in a relationship you are perhaps prone to hold on to them rather than express them directly which allows for the accumulation of problems that result in the relationship inevitably breaking down later. Consider the practicality and benefit of proactively engaging with issues as they arise, using the steady-handed, level-headed grace that you inherently have.
A partner might perceive a lack of depth that they are looking for, if their chart indicates it. It’s good to remember that a tree’s roots stabilise it more the deeper they go, so opening oneself a bit more to exploring the depths through therapies or self-exploring practices can bring greater balance.
Watch out for the potential for staying in relationships long after they have gone past the point of saving. Although it is highly encouraged to make an effort to work through issues rather than quit, Taurus moons might have the tendency to stay trying or just accept the status quo in suffering, even when it is clear the other person isn’t willing to reciprocate in solving issues and making it work.
We hope this has given you a clearer picture of the Moon in Taurus. Stay grounded, stay happy and see you soon!
