Something you learn or come across can excite your curiosity now. Exploring a new idea or interest can figure strongly. You tend to spread yourself a little thin today, but this approach may work well for you at this time in the lunar month. You’re resourceful and quickly get to the point. You seem to achieve the most independently today, even though you’re also in a friendly mood. A bit of healthy competition can motivate you. With your action-oriented frame of mind, you can be especially interested in starting something new or building upon an idea.Taurus
The Moon moves out of your sign and into your solar second house, dear Taurus.
