Taurus Horoscope for November 2020
Thank you. Will it be a blue moon all around the world? You can read more about it here. I also love the fact that on Halloween there will be a blue moon.
I enjoyed reading all the above. I feel the most connected to it. It makes my soul come more alive I absorb all of the energy I can. Then two of my three children were born on full moon nights. I have talked with many mother's and many of them said that their babies were born on full moon nights. Maybe there is some science behind what I believe. The moon controls the ties of the oceans, highs and lows twice a day days a year.
We also know that many animals and birds the moon helps or even controls them, like the bats. I don't know if any one has ever done a study on full moon and women and even animals giving birth during this time, but I feel many people would enjoy reading about it. Just thinking! Hi Tim, yes, many studies have been done.
I DO notice how the Full Moon, affects behavior.
Thanks, Gretchen, so glad you enjoyed. I find it amazing too. And since working here for FA I have become quite the astronomy buff, pointing out things to people in passing!
Metal Ox Year - Susan Levitt
Halloween and a blue moon. The full Moon of December 30, in your opposite sign of Cancer — should help you shed the outworn old year. Holiday season notwithstanding, get busy! Meanwhile you are promised plenty of social action — or at least, support — from chums and siblings, thanks to Mars, back up to speed in Aries, and the Sun in Sagittarius, fire signs compatible with the air of Aquarius.
The arrival of Venus in Sagittarius on December 15 through to January 8, blows a bit of fairy dust in your direction. Best expect a bit of push and shove in your professional world as you head through eclipse season. The new position of ruler Jupiter from the midwinter solstice suggests as much, but first, before Jupiter moves on, comes a flurry of possible deals when you may have to act quickly to finalise agreements and your instincts need to be trusted.
Having been half asleep for much of autumn, your ruling planet Mars is now in a hurry for the concluding weeks of , and the first week of , a period when you can achieve more than you perhaps suspect. The key thing is to keep the pressure mostly on, to grapple with issues that have been dogging or overwhelming you this last six or nine months and to bring them to some kind of resolution. As Jupiter and Saturn head for a new home in Aquarius, completion is the name of the game. While issues of property, status and survival are the most likely, December may also see you shrugging off a stalled relationship… or revivifying it.
You have, in short, plenty to prove, if only to yourself. The season of Sagittarius, a fellow fire sign, is grist to your mill, with Mars lined up to the new Moon of December The midwinter solstice is often a tricky way station for Aries, with the Sun cresting your solar chart and demands on your duty and time cranking up over the following month.
This year is different. The waxing Moon in your skies on December 22 and 23 aligns with those Aquarian planets to announce a new team. This could be the start of something big! Transformation approaches and with it the need to hold the good ship Taurus on a steady course. Not that your horoscope holds too many immediate storms, but is shaping up as a test of your fabled equilibrium.
Just now, the transformation looks smooth, albeit in a busy month. The Sun and Mercury take over as a more emollient force from the 21st, giving you continuity into the electric climes of early You also get the comfort of a waxing Moon in your skies over Christmas itself; the cue for a Taurean feast indulge, you? Better check no-one has stolen away the bullion you keep in the cellar, but also consider different solutions to your income and cash flow and how fiscal burdens are shared out.
Moon Phases
June 14 birthdays are most in the firing line of that solar eclipse but given there are more eclipses across the same axis in , many Geminis will be considering a change of scene or sidekick. If you are on the lookout for a playmate, then the arrival of Venus in opposition from December 15 should brigs some suggestions over the festive season. The fresh planetary action in Aquarius certainly signals fresh scenery. But Saturn moves gradually, and with the Sun and ruler Mercury moving into Capricorn at the solstice, you may have to see out January before things pick up.
Try to tie off problems and projects before then. Jupiter and Saturn in Aquarius heighten financial issues and the way money ties you together with significant others or is a barrier to you getting along with them. On the basis that Saturn restricts while Jupiter expands, could be a contradictory year. Helping you flit gaily through the autumn leaves is Venus, in watery Scorpio until the 15th and keen on your creativity, pleasures and romantic passions with Scorpio involved, likely to be dramatic and possibly secretive.

More provocative is the other relationship planet, Mars, coming at you from Aries, suggesting you engage warily with pushy types across the ever-emotional festive season. The annual Cancer full Moon arrives on December 30 to grant you warm, perhaps excessive new year celebrations. December and its festivities invite us to look both backwards and forwards but do your best to stay in the here and now. Your horoscope burns with a fierce but helpful energy across the month.
With that configuration you can create, conspire, woo, and generally be the star of any socially distanced party you can find; likely your own. Since has Saturn in opposition throughout — from December 21 — funds may be restrictive, though Jupiter insists otherwise. That looks like quite a balancing act.
Magnanimity, which comes easily to Leo, is a strength you can play to. The picture is one of short-term challenge within a long-term framework, the latter supplied by the total solar eclipse at the new Moon of the 14th. December may hand you clues about where you are heading on both counts. Business as usual for many Virgos.
