The Moon tonight
Half lit and high at dusk. Plans made at the new moon meet their first resistance. Push a little.
The Moon in Taurus wants a proper dinner, a blanket and nobody rushing anybody. Slow is the right speed tonight.
Next full Moon: 21 Feb, 4:51 am IST. Next new Moon: 8 Mar, 3:02 pm IST.
