The Moon in steady Taurus trips over

[GoldfishLord]

A cosmic tug-of-war is taking place between resting in place and rocking the boat. The Moon in steady Taurus trips over the Sagittarius Sun, so we might be tempted to live out loud while also wanting to take things easy. We can really go against the grain when the Moon conjuncts rebel Uranus at 12:38 pm EST, showing us a different way of doing things, but a final lunar square to Saturn may force us to put in major effort to see results.

What's the meaning of "The Moon in steady Taurus trips over"?

 

[Tarheel]

You're the one reading horoscopes. What makes you think that has any relationship to reality?

 

[GoldfishLord]

I don't know much about horoscopes.
I'm just reading the article to improve my English.

Okay, @GoldfishLord, here's my opinion: the entire passage you quoted from the Chicago Tribune is gibberish, pure meaningless drivel. As @Tarheel was trying to indicate, that is true of all horoscopes

a final lunar square to Saturn may force us to put in major effort to see results.

Does "to see results" go with "major effort"?

 

[Tarheel]

It means you might have to work really hard to get anything accomplished.

It isn't 'gibberish', it's quite normal, understandable language if you're familiar with astrology. You need to understand some basic concepts first.

the moon is in Taurus

This means that the moon's current position lies inside the celestial range of the zodiac sign Taurus.

 

[GoldfishLord]

The basic meaning of "trip over" is roughly "fall or almost fall". I wonder how "The Moon in steady Taurus trips over the Sagittarius Sun" makes sense.

Read something else, GoldfishLord. This is too advanced for you, and won't help you much.

It isn't anymore. I've moved it.

The moon is in Taurus. The sun is in Sagittarius. The two cross paths.

When I worked at a trashy newspaper of the Daily Mirror/National Enquirer type I was tasked with writing the astrology column. The paper had been publishing since the 1930s so we had an extensive archive, and being lazy as I am I chose to recycle old columns rather than write anew. Thus it came to pass that the stars made exactly the same predictions for Taurus in November of 1976 as they had for Virgo in April of 1948.

Now things make a bit more sense! With all respect, I couldn't think of a worse man for the job!
