Moon in Taurus: This is the Moons exaltation.

For this reason, the cosmic soul sees

more visibly the natives domestic affairs and personal life. The Moon here creates
a need for finacial and material security. In most cases these natives do well
financially. If the lot of fortune is also here, or is the place of the aquisition,
then great wealth can be had, since this place already has a tendency to attract
the finer things of life. There is usually a streak of conservatism in these
individuals. Since the Moon represents the physical body, this also often indicates
the slowing and concentrating of metabolism. As a result there may be problems with
weight gain.

In a diurnal chart, the emotions are more contained with clear boundaries set, and
the personal life is less visible in public. The diurnal heat counteracts some of
the built in complacency and allows for individuals to more easily accept change.
The fire of the day also burns off impurities that create chaotic situations that
the Moons nature here might otherwise create. As a result they do not feel as
easily threatened by insecurities. These individuals have an easier time keeping
active and their weight under control than their nocturnal counterparts. President
Clinton has this situation and also has this place as the aquisition. This may be
the reason why this country has prospered so over the past 7 years, as it is often
said the fortunes of a nation can be read from the chart of the leader.

In a nocturnal chart, the Moon has free reign with the expression and sensation of
emotions because the cool and moist of night allow for things of like and unlike
nature to co-exist. This person is usually very intuitive and some may have psychic
gifts. While these natives tend to enjoy greater wealth than their diurnal
counterparts, they also tend to have more problems with slow metabolism. There can
be problems with feeling insecure since the nature of the "Other" is overpowering,
creating contrariety and variety. This is what creates a lack of clear boundaries
between self and other in social situations. The earthy/dry nature of this place
keeps this situation from going too far. Martin Luther (founder of Lutheranism
during the church reformation) had the Moon in Taurus 9th at night.
