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 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 6°48′ Taurus or Scorpio.
It is the Full Moon of October 2031.
