I seem to only attract earth moons in my personal relationships, and more often than not they are Taurus. It's like I am so attracted to their comforting, sensual nature only to have a wake up call at some point. My Dad is even a Taurus moon.

I think the biggest thing I'm struggling with and am starting to see is how inherently selfish and cheap they can be. I know this is an exalted position but I think this is only to the benefit of the individual, not to others around them. To them they have a very balanced emotional nature and are very interested in self-preservation (making sure their own needs are met) but to others they can come across as cold, self-serving and well...cheap.

What prompted my "ah ha" moment is today, my coworker was reliving the tale of her divorce to her husband of 23 years because she eventually couldn't take him spending thousands a year on his golfing and golf club membership (even taking out a secret loan to do so) but then putting up a fight whenever it came time to spend money on a car for their daughter or her education, for instance. She said it was like if it meant it would affect his ability to afford to golf then he wanted nothing to do with it. He was very much about maintaining the status quo and didn't want to do anything that would disrupt his way of life (including furthering his career).

That's a brief synopsis and of course there are two sides to every story but I was DYING to check his chart afterwards and lo and behold...Taurus moon.

I know this is a gross generalization and there are positives to this position, but I am starting to see a trend, to the point where I would almost even avoid getting involved with one again after what I've heard/experienced.

My Aunt is also a Taurus Moon, but she's not bad like this. She's very nice and caring, but I don't know much about her when it comes to material possessions.

Taurus is all about the experience of the senses and the entire world for that matter. Taurus isn't a useless consuming pig, but Taurus needs to let life pass through, penetrate in order to grow and learn. We can get caught up and attached. We fear loss, and become possessive and act selfishly.

I liked this. It reminds me of my issue with Sagittarius moons, which I probably attract because I'm so resistant to change.

Yes. I am very selfish. Of course my selfishness is not all that defines me, but it's there. Maybe it has something to do with the Moon itself, and when I think of the sign the Moon rules, I can think of the Moon in any sign being vulnerable, possessive, or protective of the things of that sign.

I don't do it all the time, because I can't afford to but I LOVE spending money. I think I have the best taste in the world and when I give it's an opportunity for me to show off. See that? I just took selfish aims to new heights.

Margy, though Taurus and Scorp can do well together, I think the nature of the Moon in each sign can possibly put them in a weird kind of self-protective standoff. Both need security. I think with Moon-Moon opposition both might end up eternally waiting on the other to prove their trustworthiness, while with a Sun-Moon opposition it's easier for either planet in either sign to see the opportunity to safely take the first step in trust and be rewarded for it.

But then again, I'm all air so that's probably why haha.

I feel like there's two types of Taurus - the ones that are too in love with indulging and will spend too much money on themselves and others (usually when they reach a certain level of comfort), and then the stingy ones that become too possessive of their money (usually when their security has been threatened in some way), like you described. I'm sure some will flip flop between the two.

Plus im not a fan of people being so attached to the material world.
