Penumbral lunar eclipse in Taurus: astrology meaning
A lunar eclipse is a supercharged Full Moon. Astrologers read it as a culmination or release around money, possessions and comfort (Taurus), with the Sun opposite in Scorpio. It falls near the North Node, traditionally the side of the axis linked to growth and new direction. The Taurus–Scorpio axis matters most if you have planets or angles within a few degrees of 16°37′ Taurus or Scorpio.
