Partial solar eclipse in Taurus: astrology meaning
A solar eclipse is a supercharged New Moon. Astrologers read it as a sudden opening or fresh start around money, possessions and comfort (Taurus). It falls near the South Node, traditionally the side of the axis linked to letting go and endings. The Taurus–Scorpio axis matters most if you have planets or angles within a few degrees of 8°51′ Taurus or Scorpio.
