This is a powerful month for you, Taurus, and one in which the tug of war between self and other continues. You will encounter further lessons in intimacy as the month unfolds, and perhaps also find that your most significant intimate partner is actually yourself. As you allow yourself to move forward into a more idealized future, unencumbered by any dissenting opinions other than your own, you are fighting an important battle for freedom from doubt and for enjoying the benefits of connection without the drawbacks. Rather than externals, this has far more to do with internal matters; that is where the action is. As you strive for renewed understanding of your true situation you will also perhaps discover a door to further progress that you didn't even know existed, until now.
As the month begins, you are feeling an enormous shift in your energy, almost like a weight coming off. You have been wrestling with some important issues lately and these perhaps have come to a head with the recent Full Moon eclipse from the last week of the previous month, when Uranus and Pluto were emphasized. The collision of these power-house planet energies has to do with discarding old ways of being, that have perhaps been long overdue, of conceiving of and being in the world. The adjustment can be a strain until new approaches can be discovered and accepted, and that encapsulates the process that you find yourself in the midst of right now.
Your arc of development could be described as one of taking strong spiritual stand that you feel yourself uniquely equipped for, a way of partnering up with the universe, leading to more directly compassionate and committed partnership with others around you. In some ways this is but a small step, a gesture, but it is a vital realignment, and potentially one that you need to make at this particular time of the year and in this particular stage of your spiritual development.
Your relationship dynamic has been the subject of your thoughts lately, since Mercury has been hitting that sector of your solar chart several times over the last few weeks. As your meditations on this important area of your life continue, you are finding support, and perhaps a form of spiritual mentorship, in adding the perspectives of others to your own.
All through this powerful end-of-year time, you are exploring your possibilities in a new way and finding in your depths the necessary ingredients for you to begin to tackle your next phase with a relative degree of equanimity. Along the way you will greatly gain in confidence and in a more optimistic assessment of your situation as you face your issues squarely and, as gracefully as you can muster, align yourself with the world around you.
