By The Astrologer, Kelli Fox The Moon opposes Mercury and Jupiter today. It's important to prepare for an important presentation. Gathering facts and figures will take time, so plan accordingly. The best way to win over an audience is to demonstrate an intimate knowledge of a subject. Faking it is not an option. Under this influence, people are able to able to spot deception from a mile away. It may be necessary to cancel travel plans at the last minute. Try not to dwell on disappointment. Attending to a family matter is more important than going on a trip. There will be plenty of other chances to take a trip. Looking ahead, the nurturing Taurus Moon forms supportive angles to both Neptune and Pluto. It's a great time to lavish affection on loved ones. Don't withhold affection; let it flow freely. If you're celebrating your birthday today, the year ahead invites you to take greater control of your emotions. Although feelings are important, they shouldn't be the guiding force in your life. Before making important decisions, consider the options. Weigh the pros and cons. Make informed choices. Anger, sadness and fear can be conquered through rational thought.
