My 'friends' were talking in a group chat, on how about they were being depressed and sad for some reason. As I read through these messages, I didn't feel bad at all, but instead I like they were being overly dramatic. So I spoke my opinion on the chat and said,
"Guys if you're gonna be over dramatic you guys should do it somewhere else, it's making people cry and it's not the best feeling knowing that your friends are crying behind their screens"
Then, another person on the chat said, "Do you think this is a fu**ing joke?"
After that, it goes on and on, until they just nitpick everything that I've done and expected me to feel sorry for my opinion. Most of the people involved in that incident has an air or a water Moon, while I'm the only one with an Earth Moon. Kinda got me thinking a bit, do earth Moons tend to be insensitive or to be more specific Taurus Moons?

we had an energy exchange and you adopted my outlook and i adopted yours, about 1 week ago

you're energy is quite both ethereal (spiritual, ghost world) and somewhat cold, leafy, like the taurus moon.

my energy is seeing others intentions, seeing why they say what they say

Taurus moons are generally a caring people and can be sentimental, but it rarely shows in Oprah hugs, and they don't like pointless whining when it's not helping. Your reaction strikes me as a stereotypical Taurus moon reaction, but it's not that Taurus moons don't care, but rather they'd prefer to pick people up rather than whine with them, and don't like seeing people mope, and it's difficult for them to understand how people "drown" in emotion.

Okay, let me look this up...yep, here:
http://exemplore.com/astrology/Taurus-Moon-Trust-Tranquil-Tangible

quote:
who will you call? It's your friend with the Taurus Moon Sign who will help you calm down, put this day back into perspective, remind you what strengths you possess, and maybe even get you smiling about it in a little while. This is the friend you can always count on to take the drama out of a situation, tell you to stop obsessing about the worst possible scenario, and suggest alternatives to be sure whatever mess you made does not happen again

At the same time, water moons have to process their emotions a lot more, so I can see how your saying that sounded like "Stop being melodramatic emos." To them it sounds dismissive of their feelings, and thus dismissive of who they are, so that from their perspective you are insensitive, but they'd be wrong to think you're uncaring. At least, that's pretty much how astrology would explain how that turned out.

pixie while you are here what do you think of the frequency alien stations altering human consciousness, not sure if it is happening


apparently 10,000 years former, humans suddenly became almost hairless, smaller bones, basically because p*ssies

who knows, coulda just been the energy on the planet changing

if it is

then it's not right

for example let's say my father at his house is asleep, and i go over to his room, and set out these frequency to make him behave how i want to be, he was fine, but lets say i make him small and weak, so now when he is around me as i visit, he listens to what i say and he is intimidated, so if i say please get me the milk he'd get it now


------

what if the aliens took advantage of the mayan end date calendar, to trick people as a time to alter consciousness, so everyone would have known something was wrong, but since it's the "end of the calendar" they say oh its ok. it's just something unknown

we used to feel alive. we'd go run out in the world and get into all kinds of messes just because we did the first thing that came to our head.

now with calming frequency, making us peaceful, there's just no point to existence.

the natural universe is the only thing that can form pure, good, amazing, life, and the more it is tampered with, the more it is pointlessly destroyed

Do you agree?

if it has been happening the past years, we need to stop it

@Soren

I thought i was the only one who thought of such things

Moon in Taurus doesn't like looking at deep things or subjects that are strongly emotional ime. This is actually where most Taurus Moons and I tend to disconnect.

Most i know tend towards conservative opinions. Perhaps even doing that to mantain the inner status quo? They don't like to be shook up emotionally or consider deep,dark subjects.

Virgo/Cap don't have the same outlook. I can go with Virgo to subjects like poltergeist, other realms of existence etc. Thats unless Scorpio is strong in the Taurus Moon chart.

Insensitive? When it comes to protecting their emotional status quo. Absolutely. They can be self -concerned

I wouldn't say they're unemotional or insensitive..

They're just emotionally "dry" in my opinion, if that makes sense. Meaning, they don't go to extremes like myself, they're opposite sign.

Example:

Taurus enters the pool slowly and uses the steps..(They HAVE to test it PHYSICALLY)
Scorpio dives right in. (Scorpio had already been watching from afar.. in this case, maybe did some research on the weather for that day, avg pool temperature, etc).

Taurus might even exit the pool initially, if the water is too cold.

Scorpio had no time for judgement because they dived right in.

Scorpio will just adapt.
Taurus will adapt TOO BUT only after seeing if it's even worth it. & even then, that excitement (adrenaline rush) you get with the Scorpio stunt, you simply won't get it with Taurus because there's no element of surprise when you've tested it out first.

Apply this to emotions.

My immediate family are all Taurus Moons with two being double Taurus Sun and Moon. They can be very set in their ways emotionally speaking, very rigid to the point that attempting to change their mind can be a fruitless task. They are only unkind when they see something that doesn’t sit well with them, as they will call a person out and won’t bat an eye at all if they see something morally unjustified in their view. However, my parents and sister are some of the most emotionally strong people I know. They went through some tough times in their lives, but they’re always able to cope with the adversity and able to pick themselves up without losing their cool. I highly respect them for that because not many people are able to do what they have done in the past and stay level-headed.

What you said sounds exactly like how my parents and sister would react. I'm a Pisces Moon and would have been the person acting all dramatic for sure haha. They call me out on my watery theatrics all the time.

My Taurus Sun/Moon dad can be the same way, but he's admitted that he has his own times when he's crying/yelling at the universe (over mum, mainly).

I think if people need to vent, let them vent. Gemini Moon here. Squared by Pisces Mars. People usually talk about it, and then move onto other things when they feel better.

Aprox 1 or 2 days after this 'mess', I told my closest friend in the group that i was leaving for many reasons. I was kinda bored, so i was looking at my curent transits and i realized that i was in my saturn return. I think that this transit might be cause of this.

Oh and thanks for all the replies, it really helped me with my understanding of the moons

To be honest, Taurus Moons aren't known for being too emotional.

@XzaultaX: you were being really insensitive and rude, I don't think it's an Earth Moon or Taurus moon thing per se.

My closest friends have always been Capricorn moons and they've all been emotionally sensitive and supportive. I have Scorpio moon and I love/fuccs with Cap moons.

Other than your Saturn Return, do you have negative aspects to your moon, mercury or Mars? What about transits? There could be the reasons for you acting out? Are you normally like this?

BTW I somewhat agree with PixieJane

I agree with @PixieJane

Moon is exalted in Taurus for a reason - Taurus stabilizes emotions. Pity parties are a natural reaction to emotional difficulties. The same way crying is when you get hurt physically. Taurus is "above" those things because it has thick skin and doesn't "wound" that easily.

The goal for Taurus Moons is not to force themselves to become sensitive but to be more aware and mindful. To understand that you can't immediately pull someone out of emotional trauma with reason the same way you can't make a person with a broken leg just get up and walk it off.

I think with my dad, it's that he can't always fix it, and it sets off his own fears (at times). He didn't want kids, before mum gave birth to me. He only went along with it, because mum wanted children (and then once I was born, he adored me). I got sick, was screaming, they didn't know what was wrong - rushed me to the hospital, and dad freaked out, saying, "This is why I didn't want kids!!!"

Moon square Neptune (exact)
Sun (scorpio) conjunct Mercury (3 orb)
Mercury (scorpio) square Uranus (3 orb)
Venus (scorpio) conjunct Mars (9 orb)
Mars (libra) trine Saturn (6 orb)
Mars trine Uranus (4 orb)

For the transits on the day it happened, Transit Mercury was conjuncting my Moon and transit Venus opposite natal Mars. I thought i should include the venus/mars because all of the people in that chat are female.

Actually no I don't think im normally like this, but specifically whenever they talk about how depressed they are they describe their feelings somewhat like this: i feel like i was pushed into a howling abyss with no one to pull me out. To be honest it kinda just disgust me.

@XzaultaX:

Before I begin, are you guy/male? I automatically assumed you are a female and just want to confirm.

IF you are a male, then this explains a lot in your response to your friends who are all girls. A lot of males are socially conditioned by society to ignore feelings and emotions and to stuff it down and try to solve it.

It sounds like talking about emotions makes you feel weak, helpless and weighed down.

Random but why did you attack your friends? Why didn't you just sign out of the chat? Also why did you put quotation marks around the word 'friends'? Do you not consider them friends?

Why does it disgust you?

First off, im a guy

I wouldn't say attacked, every time they talk about how depressed they are, which is weekly, i stay silent and keep my opinion to myself. I actually thought it would ok to voice my opinion just this one time and like always i get backlash for my opinions.

No, I do not always consider them friends, only a select few in there i consider friends for the same reason as the previous sentence.

Hmm, why does it disgust me? I don't know

I'm not sure I'd put that down to the Taurus Moon, myself. Taurus can be very nurturing sign given the right conditions.. it's said that the symbol itself of Taurus has the symbolism of the moon in it.

If anything I feel like it could be your Scorpio Mercury.

Scorpio is all about cutting through the crap and getting to the core of a situation.. sometimes this can relate to how an emotional situation can be perceived as well. You probably just saw certain things in the core of the situation and once you exposed that people got upset.

Scorpio pierces. It rids any of which is considered to be excessive. It goes right to the core or root of energy and tries to pull it through in a way that the others also can realize what is going on.

I'm not saying this placement makes you always right.. but reading it made me think back to a situation I experienced where I feel like Pluto was really showing itself in my interaction with someone else.

Taurus moons may have the capability of being blunt.. but Taurus is also one of the nurturing, somewhat maternal signs. They aren't going to say something they think is going to hurt someone unless they themselves were first hurt pretty deeply. They may hold their place in regards to their own feelings or their own thoughts, but not in a intentionally offensive stance. Rather one that aims to defend.

Uranus also came to mind a bit as well but I don't know what your chart looks like.

I'm not saying any of this as fact, as it may read like that. But.. those are some of my thoughts on the situation.

I feel like Taurus Moon is a placement that can definitely be blunt or like.. stern. But I feel like it's usually in a somewhat maternal, protective way. Or, once again, in cases where they feel threatened into making changes in their stance that they are not comfortable with.


Also.. as jovial as Jupiter/Sag can be.. that also kinda came to mind..? i feel like Jupiter can get frustrated with pity parties of feeling like people are being too cynical. It thrives with optimism, and to me seems like it could be a planet/sign to get a little irked when other people aren't able to try and find at least a little optimism in themselves..? I'm not sure what Jupiter/Sag is doing in your chart though..? The right type of afflictions could kinda give the vibe of "stop moping" but I'm not exactly sure that's the totality of what happened.

What house is your Moon in? That could help give us a bit of an idea as well. I'd guess it would be somewhere in the 5-7 area..?

My thoughts are still mostly on Pluto/Scorpio (specifically Scorpio Mercury.. especially if Pluto is conjunct it.) Although I'd be curious to know what your Jupiter, Mercury, and Uranus are doing in your chart as well.

Is there a Moon-Mercury opposition?

Or maybe your Mercury isn't in Scorpio..? If not, then that could go back to the point I made about Sagittarius if your Mercury is there instead.

@XzaultaX: ok that explains a lot (the guy) part

Well you're 3rd House is Aquarius, so maybe it's that. You also got Uranus and Neptune there. You detached/logical (Aquarius), rebellious (Uranus) and a bit delusional (Neptune) in terms of your communication style.

Yea in my Water moon opinion Imma be blunt that was an attack on your "friends". You seem very annoyed with your "friends" IF that's the case why do you bother listening to them? Why didn't you just sign out? or excuse yourself from the convo?. Why are they even your "friends"? Clearly this isn't the first time you felt this way about them.

Random but I had a Cancer moon friend one that used to bitcch/complain to me all the time about stupid shite. Though I love her and still do, I had to drop her because it was getting too much.

Btw there's a reason why it disgusts you. Subconsciously or not, you know why.

That aside I think this situation you were insensitive but I don't know if I can just isolate it to your moon. I'm sure it plays a part in it. Earth placements don't like whiny-BS especially if it's a thing that is logical can be "fixed".

Random but was it the specific subject that made you irritated? what were they exactly talking about?

@ReadingTheStars95: I don't know if it's just the Scorpio Mercury/Moon Taurus thing alone.

I got a Scorpio mercury friend with an Earth Moon and though she's like you describe, she would never say or do that to me.

Speaking as a Taurus moon here, I wouldn't say we are cold or insensitive. It could be all the Cancer in my chart but I find myself to be very sensitive. The only time I would say I am being insensitive is when I sense people are being fake or just looking for attention. If I sense someone is being sincere with their emotions, then I am extremely sensitive and caring and warm towards them. However, if I sense that someone is just looking for attention or being insincere, then I really don't have time for that and I politely remove myself from their presence.
