Old loyalties surface; honesty and closeness can coexist, Taurus.
Underneath the day, an old loyalty is asking to be re-pledged or formally retired, Taurus, and the Aries Moon in your 12th house surfaces it in flashes instead of paragraphs. Venus brushed by Mars makes you protective of something that may have already grown out of needing protection. A parent or chosen-family figure shows up in a thought before lunch, uninvited, instructive. Sit with the discomfort for ten minutes before reaching for a distraction. The relational insight is that staying close to someone and staying honest with them are not in competition, and the moment you stop choosing one over the other, both finally start to grow at the same rate.
