December 2020 Taurus Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends

December 2020

The Sun this Month: Central Focus, Consciousness

Until December 11th:

The Sun continues to put a spotlight on your solar seventh house--your partnership sector. This can be a time of much learning through the mirror of close relationships. It's not the time to push your agenda or personal plans forward; rather, it's a cycle in which you are at your best when you recognize the need to form alliances, to give back to a special someone, and to compromise in order to find some balance in your life.

It's a strong period for putting yourself into another person's shoes and to better understand him/her. You may be meeting with someone strong and assertive by nature now, or a partner is more assertive and needy of attention. There may be some competitive feelings between you and a significant other now. Focus is on reconciliation, forming or cementing bonds, diplomacy, consultation, one-on-one interactions, and negotiations. You may feel a little drained physically now, temporarily.

From December 12th forward:

The Sun energizes your sector of transformation, change, sexuality, personal growth, regeneration, others' money and resources, addictions, and taxes. As a result, this is not the most gregarious of months for you. You take a step back, focus on intimacy with a partner, or simply retreat a little from the hectic pace of life. This is an excellent time to create a budget or financial plan, or to rid yourself of bad habits that undermine your sense of personal power and self-mastery.

All that is deeply personal comes into focus now. Intimate matters are especially important to you during this cycle. Just how well you are handling your life comes up for inspection. Your self-mastery skills and psychological predisposition matter to you more than usual. This is the time of year when you are most desirous of change on a deep level. Clearing out psychic "junk" or ridding yourself of bad habits may be part of the picture now. You are more willing than usual to explore life's secrets.

This cycle brings greater in-depth understanding and an inclination to delve beneath the surface of matters to get to the bottom of them. Research uncovers new material that allows you to develop a better overall picture of the year's events. This is an especially introspective cycle during which you have the chance to truly uncover your personal strengths and talents. On a more practical level, you may be dealing with joint finances and shared resources now more than usual.

Eclipse

A Solar Eclipse Occurs on December 14th: A general rule of thumb regarding eclipses is to avoid major decision-making in the week before and after an eclipse. This is because new information that could change our perspective often is revealed in the week after the eclipse. There is absolutely no need to suspend projects already in progress. Essentially, it's better to take in right now--to observe and get in touch with feelings. The Solar Eclipse marks a new beginning for you. Letting go of the past is necessary in order to move forward. This eclipse occurs in your solar eighth house, suggesting a new approach to the way you share money and resources or get along with a close partner on an intimate level. New intimate liaisons or arrangements surrounding support from others (loans, joint finances, alimony, and so forth) may be formed in the coming months, as well as a sense of renewal and reinvigoration with regards to your ability to employ self-mastery skills. This is a phase when you will be especially busy initiating new projects or activities that increase your resources. You may experience increased awareness of others—what makes them tick—as well as your own internal motivations during this period. It is a time when intimacy and deep levels of sharing are heightened. It is also a favorable time to start a financial plan, savings plan, take out a loan or consolidate, and do work in accounting.

Venus this Month: Love, Romance, Social Life, Comfort

Until December 6th: 

Venus continues to move through your solar sixth house now. This is a time when beautifying and/or bringing harmony to your working environment is a priority to you. You might find more opportunities to socialize with co-workers, perhaps even meeting a new friend through your work or health routines. You are likely to bring more tact and diplomacy to your relations with the people you work with now. You may not be as productive as usual during this period, as the focus is more on social relationships and pleasure than on getting the job done. Improving health and vitality through pleasurable activities such as massage might be in focus now.

From December 7-31: 

Venus graces your solar seventh house during this period. This is a time for extra attention to a partner or significant other, as well as from that person! You are more inclined to flatter and charm others during this cycle. One-to-one relating appeals to you more than group activities or more casual connections. Smoothing out your close personal relationships is what makes you happy during this cycle. If single, you are more willing than normal to enter into a committed relationship. In general, you are adaptable when it comes to your affections--very willing to compromise, negotiate, and make peace.

Mercury this Month: Communications, Learning, Connections, Transportation

Until the 14th:

Mercury continues to transit your solar seventh house. You can be especially aware of your "audience" in your communications now, which tend to be diplomatic and respectful during this cycle. You may be encountering an especially chatty or communicative partner, or meeting youthful, talkative people.

At this time, you love to hear others' opinions and perspectives, and it's an excellent time to do so. Others can spur on your own thinking and decision making processes now, simply by offering another perspective. You are thinking a lot about others, a partner, and relating in general, and in some cases perhaps worrying over these things.

From the 14th forward:

Mercury transits your solar eighth house. You are more intuitive now than usual, picking up all of the hidden cues from people around you and reading between the lines. This is an excellent cycle in which to do some financial planning and strategizing.

Research is also highly favored. It's easier for you to approach sensitive, intimate, and personal matters with rationality and logic. As such, this is a great time to open up conversations about topics that normally might cause waves, such as those revolving around the sharing of power, intimacy, and finances.

Mars this Month: Energy, Drive, Courage

Until the 11th:

Mars continues to activate your solar eleventh house. You take a more direct approach to realizing your dreams now, rather than simply hoping and wishing.

You might find that you have more energy and enthusiasm for spending time with others, but arguments now may be with or on behalf of friends. You can be especially effective at encouraging others now, as well as at leading or organizing a group.

From the 12th forward: With Mars moving through your solar twelfth house, this is the time to research and reflect upon your goals. It can be a time when past actions catch up with you--and this is not necessarily a bad thing! It could also be a time when much of your energy is channeled into private matters, or when you prefer that others not observe what you are doing. This is natural--you may just as well do your best work alone for now. Unconscious behavior patterns could influence the way you assert yourself. Some may experience insomnia during this phase, especially if they are not allowing themselves the chance to recoup and if they are not letting their intuition serve them. Others may enjoy a more active dreaming life (this includes day-dreaming), and, if allowed to run free, the imagination can serve them very well, especially with regards to goals and new concepts.

Overview Horoscope:

December 2020 Monthly Horoscope Overview for Taurus:

December is a strong month for reflection and strategy, dear Taurus. It's a good time for smoothing over problem areas, counseling, and harmonizing. You may be doing more observing than participating with the Sun and Mercury in your solar eighth house until the 20-21. A lot is going on under the hood, and for some of you, in a close relationship. As the month advances, you're ready to pursue your goals. December holds a Solar Eclipse and some significant and notable sign changes that set up new trends and areas of focus for the year ahead.

Venus divides its time between your partnership (until the 15th) and intimacy (after the 15th) sectors. You’re in a powerful position for managing your emotions and personal life--your emotional life is animated and energizing. You seem to have the power to put problems behind you. A rational, light approach to heavier topics can help you make sense of things and reach agreements with others. A relationship might get a boost from confidential or intimate talks and clarifications.

You're feeling ready and willing to take charge of a matter that seems long overdue. In recent months, you've battled procrastination or a feeling that you were "on the fence," and something happens now that clears your head about moving forward or taking a bold step towards your goals or desires. Mind you, Mars is still transiting your privacy sector until January, suggesting you're in a hatching phase for projects and plans. It's a time of self-discovery or making a meaningful connection with someone special, and being bold in your emotional life pays off.

Aiming to observe and process instead of charge ahead can keep you feeling on top of things in the first few weeks of December. Financial new beginnings may be in store after the Solar Eclipse on the 14th, and circumstances could very well require that you rethink your financial strategies. This eclipse might open doors to you for following a passion. It can empower you to make lifestyle or psychological changes.

Debts and loans, yours or a partner’s income, or financial backing can figure strongly with eclipses falling along the second (the Lunar Eclipse on November 30th) and eighth house (the Solar Eclipse on December 14th) axis of your solar chart. It’s a persuasive prompt to develop strategies to cut out unhealthy dependencies and habits that prevent you from growing and thriving. This can be a time for taking charge of your finances, particularly money shared with others or coming from other sources than your income.

On another level, this eclipse season can be about boosting your intimate world, whether it's a relationship with someone or with yourself as you discover your passions and your deeper desires. Going "all in" with a special project or pursuit can be a satisfying focus now.

Saturn heads to the top of your solar chart on the 17th, and Jupiter follows two days later. These two planets meet on the 21st, forming what's called a Great Conjunction.

These events mark the beginning of a long-term trend in which your career and broader life goals become a high priority or area of focus. Circumstances conspire to remind you of the importance of structure, responsibility, credibility, and reputation in the coming few years. Many of you will be making changes so that your career path better reflects the principles closest to your heart.

The Saturn cycle that lasts until 2023 is a cycle for really putting in the work. Jupiter here will be with you for much of 2021, helping you acclimate to the change. You may feel driven to prove or achieve something substantial during this period. Your performance becomes public or everyone’s business somehow. You may be called to task, and rewards come from hard work, solid effort, sincerity, and respect or humbleness. It’s not a time for getting too caught up in your own press. Aim to learn what you can do and embrace reality if unrealistic goals have been slowing your progress. However, since you’re entering a period of harder work and increased scrutiny, make your downtime truly count. Take care of your body and mind by simplifying and decluttering.

You're likely to take more interest and pride in your accomplishments, motivating you to shoot a little higher. You might find yourself in a position to manage others, or there could be a promotion or more enjoyable work and goals during this pivotal Jupiter transit.

You may get the chance to clinch a project or job. There can be a career peak of sorts happening now. It's a fine time to show the world what you can do. Successes can be realized, and an important project can culminate. It's a time of achievement, accomplishment, harvest, recognition, and the taking on of new responsibilities. If you’ve cut corners, this can be a time of dealing with those consequences and making things right.

You crave more interactivity from the 20-21 forward when Mercury and the Sun head into your spirit sector. These transits ease self-expression and smooth out communications. It feels great to be understood! Energy is likely to be higher, and stress levels lower. You may feel inspired by an idea or learn something that excites you and positively impacts future projects. Your aspirations and ideals are driving forces in your life.

The Full Moon on the 29th can bring a learning or transportation matter to a turning point. It can be a busy final week of the year, but also a warm, celebratory one.
