Taurus Horoscope for November 2014

This is an interesting month for you, Taurus, especially with regard to of the key relationships in your life and your desire for better connection. You are coming at life from the inside out. You might feel within yourself a tendency now to leave yourself behind for the sake of others, although this is an illusion. You are being asked by cosmic powers to go beyond previous limitations in whatever way you can. This refers to ideas or beliefs that could be holding you back from a fuller experience of life that is all around you, awaiting your readiness to participate. What you are after is in essence deeply lodged within you. Your gains could be enormous in terms of partnership trust and recognition, plus your own understanding of yourself at profound levels.

As the month begins, you are in the midst of a monthly cycle still immersed in the deep waters of Scorpio, as kicked off by the late October New Moon eclipse there, from about nine days ago. This energy is flowing into your relationship realm in ways that might seem difficult at first, and that yet could yield deep and lasting satisfaction if the lessons for you there become well integrated. This configuration is incredibly poignant for you. Your ruling planet, beautiful and loving Venus, was perched right on the same degree of this recent intense New Moon. You may be feeling nearly swept away by the depth and magnitude of the shift occurring for you around partnership, or your general approach to the arena of relating. Then, too, with the recent retrograde you have been rethinking in a big way the issues involved with partnership in your life, both in terms of compromise and for the gifts that it brings; this continues into the present month. No final conclusions are to be expected, although with sincere effort on your part, definite progress is a given.

As the very foundational philosophies of your life have been transforming in recent months, so now you could well have profound new beliefs emerging, and these new attitudes may involve relationships. Issues in this area are likely somehow tied to your family of origin, or the experiences of your formative years, as you developed and underwent various traumas, creating coping mechanisms for yourself that at the time were useful, but have in your adult years turned into outdated patterns. It may be helpful to imagine this as a protective skin that has become too tight, and now must be shed in order that you might grow and expand. These patterns could show up in the reflection that relationship provides, and may become for you the most helpful way of identifying such patterns, in order to heal and break free of them.

With Neptune also highlighted in this month's configurations, you have a beautiful idealism that is present for you now relating to the area of future plans. There is a fine line between idealism and illusion, so be prepared to introduce a dose of caution into the mix as well. This might come to you from the sage advice of partners who provide a useful foil, that can at times seem like criticism. In this regard, it is vital to be strong in yourself and yet, also, to be able to bend as necessary

You may as well find through dreams or perhaps synchronistic outer events that the material of your subconscious is more available this month than usual. It is likely that you could experience epiphany — that sudden flash of insight — into how your unconscious patterns have been operating all this time in your life. While a good portion of your attention is focused here, in this interpersonal realm, your worldly goals and endeavors are still high priority for you, and as your spiritual and philosophical beliefs continue to shift and evolve, so too will your goals and dreams. There could be a lag in that area, as manifested reality slowly comes up to speed with the growth spurt of your soul. You benefit by prioritizing the value of your inner world, trusting the universe to make itself known to you as it will, peacefully intending that everything will blossom in a material way in good time.
