Caring for our Taurus Moon children
Children are born lunar creatures.
Think about it, pregnancy is measured by “moon cycles.” When babies are born they are in a very lunar season of life. A lot of times they are even nocturnal! This is a whole other branch of astrology and the topic I will be exploring in this new series.
The Taurus Moon Child
The moon is exalted (or in a privileged position) in sensory seeking earth sign Taurus. The moon is ruled by the planet of luxury and beauty, Venus. A child with a Taurus moon will likely lean towards the finer things in life and enjoy good food. This is the kid that seeks out a comfort meal after a rough day. They will stay loyal and may even be stubborn about things they are passionate about.
Taurus moon natives process the world through all five senses. They tend to be “mouthy” infants and may learn about the world by putting everything in their mouths. They are very tactile by nature. This will express as strong opinions about textures, smells or flavors.
They may require a certain amount of rest or downtime after long days. They will appreciate being held and comforted and may ask to spend a day in bed watching movies if they are feeling run down. These children benefit from a rest day to be factored into long family vacations. They can really dig their heels in and become frustrated if they feel rushed or forced to do something they don’t want to do.
These children are always taking in what they are able to smell, feel, see, touch, and hear. Because of this they may become overwhelmed and resist change.
Enriching the life of a
Taurus Moon Child
To enrich the life of a Taurus moon child expose them to different flavors, textures and other sensory experiences. Create a safe space and encourage them to experience the world through all five senses.
Sing with them. Help them discover a homemade comfort meal and teach them how to make it themselves. Prioritize spending time in nature. Allow them to get messy and dirty. Make sure they feel safe when trying something new. Encourage them to branch out but respect their firm boundaries; try to learn when to push and when to allow for rest.
Things To Remember
When looking at our children’s charts, it’s important to leave room for them to explore themselves before prescribing who they are. I wrote about that in this article called, Astro-Parenting: How Astrology Can Help Strengthen Your Relationship With Your Child.
