The Moon in earth also needs to feel useful.

Would you believe - I was going to make a thread about different Moon signs and basic needs.. and I was going to say that it's a strong need for me to feel useful.(My Moon is Cappy)
I almost feel like I shouldn't be alive, if I wasn't useful.
But it's not a general thing. There are particular areas of work & life where I want to be useful.

Ants are busy carrying bits of food to their hill, bees are busy dipping into flowers, aphids are busy feeding off leaves, birds are busy digging up worms. Even in their winter dormancy, plants carry on a secret life of their own. All this movement serves the perpetuation of the universal life of the world, and the Moon in earth is naturally attuned to such rhythms.

This is so sweet and so true. I love seeing ants and bees going about their business.. and yes - even worms lol
It makes me feel like ALL is good in the world lol

My Venus is earth to (Taurus). I love nature, animals, insects - I like feeling a part of everything and in constant motion.

so often the response is, "Oh, yes, but .. " , because there is a complete undervaluing of these needs. Other, more meaningful pursuits must take priority.

This is soooooooooooooooooooooo true. Wow!

But lately I have really tried to focus on my physical self. My NN is Taurus to (conj Venus) - I think it's a learning curve.

Everything in nature is constantly moving, albeit sometimes very slowly, and if you sit around watching the insects and snails in your garden or the wildlife in the woods, you will see that there is never a moment when purposeful activity is not taking place. Ants are busy carrying bits of food to their hill, bees are busy dipping into flowers, aphids are busy feeding off leaves, birds are busy digging up worms. Even in their winter dormancy, plants carry on a secret life of their own. All this movement serves the perpetuation of the universal life of the world, and the Moon in earth is naturally attuned to such rhythms. Even the Moon in Taurus, the most fixed and serene of signs, is constantly in motion, albeit at its own leisurely pace.

What an awesome analogy! When I'm at work I always need to be doing SOMETHING, even if its just reading a book when there's nothing useful to be done. I definitely hate feeling idle...unless I'm at home. That's where I feel free to laze out.

And the sensousness I always attributed to my Taurean Jupiter, didn't know it was possible for Virgo Moon to be tacttile too. But its true, I am picky an very controlled about what or who I touch.

I've changed residences ALOT in my lifetime too, but not by my own free choice. Although the one time I would love to move, I can't. *headdesk*

HAHA. My favorite animal when I was a girl was ants. Yes, ants. Not ponies. Not puppies... ants.

I have Virgo Venus, Capricorn Moon. Oh dear, why does that make sense?

All that was said is true for me... I have Pluto square my Moon from Scorpio, and I was obsessive compulsive as a kid. Things had to be in the RIGHT order... and I had to structure everything I did, making lists of my activities, knowing way beforehand if the family was to go somewhere, etc. or I'd freak out. So the extreme (Pluto) of what this describes. Though also being Pluto, I overcame that.

I am with Dynamitee and BenedictMoon about always feeling like I need to have a PRACTICAL value... otherwise I'm pretty lost. Even menial physical labor is fine by me and actually soothing. Though isn't this sort of thing cultural, too? Who doesn't feel like this?
