You'll be in a stealthy and methodical headspace, dearest Taurus, with a desire to make moves while no one is looking. As the Aries Moon aspects Saturn and Pluto, quietly build toward higher levels of success. Working in solitude sharpens your focus, making it easier to break through obstacles others have hyped up. Confidence grows as you realize how much you've underestimated yourself. Your thoughts expand once Luna squares Jupiter, but it's important to keep a healthy perspective. Write down ideas or goals as they arise, but do your research before deciding which path to take.
