Moon in Taurus in the Eleventh House

The Moon is at its best in Taurus (in astrological terminology, the Moon is exalted in this sign). The stable sign of Taurus steadies and strengthens the Moon’s otherwise changeable, erratic influence. Having your Moon in Taurus gives you great powers of concentration. You live your life the way you tackle a job: systematically and getting it done right. Whereas others complicate their lives, with your Moon in Taurus, when you’re confronted with a problem you look for the most effective way to deal with it, and even if it’s personally painful for you, you get it handled.

The sign of Taurus also brings out the quiet, reflective qualities of the Moon: you carefully ponder the sense impressions you receive from the world around you before you reach a conclusion. With your Moon in Taurus you do not form opinions quickly and are quite the opposite of impressionable. It takes a while for you to come to a decision – you must be sure of all the facts – but when you do there is no way to make you change your mind. One can’t change a Moon-Arien’s mind either, but the difference here is that Aries Moon quickly reaches its decision. With your Moon in Taurus you take your time assimilating information. Once you have done that, you will purposefully, relentlessly, and unchangeably follow your course.

Taurus is the astrological sign of earthly possessions, and a Moon in Taurus indicates a person who is resourceful, someone who gathers material things. As a Moon in Taurus person, you are also blessed in that you seem to have the least emotional problems of any Moon sign. This may be because Taurus is practical and positive in its outlook, as well as methodical, patient, and responsible.

The sign of Taurus is ruled by Venus, planet of romance and the arts, and a Moon in this beauty-loving sign endows you with a keen artistic sense. Having your Moon in Taurus, you are romantic, have elegant manners, and usually display a distinctive style of dressing. The Moon is a sensual influence and in Taurus indicates a great love of creature comforts. With your Moon in Taurus, you enjoy serene surroundings, the pleasures of a luxurious home, and the joys of good dining. Although socially adept, you dislike big parties and large, noisy groups. With your Moon in Taurus, your idea of a wonderful evening is a small, candlelit dinner party at home with four close friends.

In love, individuals with their Moon in Taurus are the one-man/one-woman type, and are happiest in a close, committed union. Sometimes it may seem otherwise (especially if the Sun is in a flirtatious or highly sexed sign), but at heart Moon in Taurus individuals want the comfort of a committed relationship. With a Moon in Taurus, your security is heightened by sharing your home and pleasures with the person you love and who, in turn, is devoted to you. You look for a true soul-mate, and when you find him or her you happily and faithfully settle down.

The other side of the coin is that a Moon in Taurus individual has a tendency to stay too long in an unhappy love affair or marriage. Because of your need for security and resistance to change, you shut yourself off from new experiences and settle for what you have.

The sign position of the Moon describes how we habitually respond to other people and to the circumstances of our lives, as well as how we experience our emotions and seek emotional fulfillment. Its house position corresponds to the area of life in which we operate most unconsciously, according to past patterns and instinctive responses.

Moon in the 11th House:

The Moon in the 11th House placement affords you a social avenue through which you can constructively channel your emotional needs and drives. It also suggests that you are likely to be a warm, caring person (conditioned, of course by your Moon sign), at home in a group situation and committed to social justice. Having your Moon in the 11th House, you may find yourself in the role of “group mother” (or “father”), providing the care-giving energy that keeps a group cohesive and committed to each other.  Your own identification with a group is likely to be high, especially if your connection to the group is based on family, ethnic or historical ties.

With your Moon in the 11th House, if you become active in social causes, you are likely to pour emotional energy into your efforts and feel personally committed to the cause. The primary danger of such intense and emotional group involvement is that you may not have the emotional energy left to share with your own family or to provide yourself with emotional “down time.”

Insecurities

Having your Moon in the 11th House, if you are inwardly insecure, you will be so bonded and attached to your identification with your group, that you lose your own sense of personal identity. In essence, you merge your identity into the group identity so that the group consciousness becomes your own subconscious, in a sense. With your Moon in the 11th House, your attachment to the group results in your own attitudes and behavior being conditioned by the group.

As an individual with your Moon in the 11th House, your behavior is very vulnerable to domination by peer pressure, for you cannot see yourself going against the group or leaving it. The group has become your family. You will do anything to remain a part of the group and retain the group’s approval.

Focus of Emotional Development

With your Moon in the 11th House, your emotional development is likely to have been nurtured by group and peer influences during your early years. Having your Moon in the 11th House, your interaction with peer groups and group members, the dynamics of your emotional attachment to the group, and your reaction to the attitudes and actions that the group takes toward you are often the vehicles through which you further develop your emotional capabilities and patterns. At a later stage in life, it is not uncommon for your emotional involvement and attachments to be bound up with your relations and attitudes toward the larger society in which you live. You may also experience emotional development in connection with thinking about or planning for the future.
