These are global energies of the Black moon in Taurus or in the 2nd House which must be nuanced according to your birth chart, see the article Black Moon in birth chart; see also the article on the general interpretation of the Black moon.
It represents an important karmic factor, at the same time a seed of incarnation (see the Triangle of incarnation), a source of attractions, compulsions, and also of fears, introversions.
The black moon is one of the attributes of the Anima in the chart, and as such it can indicate a Projection of the latter…
As the black moon remains 273 days per sign, its position in the houses is more telling for the personality, the archetypal color of the sign modulates according to it. Consequently, focus on the house impacted in the interpretation, the analysis of the sign must be subordinated to it.
Interpersonal and affective overcompensation
The black moon in the 7th house or in Libra is complicated on an “interpersonal” level, as it may involve attraction just as much as repulsion when it comes to relationships with others, including affective relationships, which may harbor both fears and more directly and obviously a karmic aspect (the need to settle things in these domains over the course of this incarnation; this favors having one or more important karmic encounters).
This is an angular position for this karmic factor, so it is inevitably more sensitive; here in the house of projections, it is bound to be relevant in various ways in interpersonal relationships, both social and affective, which may translate here into various social fears, mistrust in relationships with others, and “complicated” and/or “violent” relationships (these relationships may be intense or destructive, but the ultimate purpose is always to allow for evolution in certain ways).
The ambiguity here is that on the one hand, people with this positioning may feel a deep need for “others,” but on the other hand they flee anything that appears to be too great of an attachment, because they anticipate both the power and the violence that could come out of such an interaction.
Inevitably, this black moon tends to increase the likelihood that there are one or more significant karmic connections, in particular in an affective context, so it is important for these people to pay particular attention to the various unions and associations that they may form and, if possible, determine the nature of the energetic exchanges at play in each relationship (for example by carrying out a synthesis with synastry).
We also find some energies of Pluto in the 7th house or in Libra here, for example through encounters with violence, fatality, or notions of loss, domination, manipulation, power struggles, or betrayal, and through powerful relationships that lead to evolution but which also very often tend to emphasize the imbalances of these people’s own personalities, revealing these imbalances and often working to change patterns (personal or even family-inherited patterns).
Of course, the planet Venus’s influences should be analyzed in particular, as it is the ruler of this sector, since it tends to have an impact and be karmically connected, depending on whether it is in a position of tension or nicely dignified, and also depending on whether there are Anima/Animus conflicts that are looking to be expressed; these are points that should be analyzed more finely and which risk also having repercussions in terms of necessary sublimations.
It is not rare, for that matter, to find certain symmetries or “mirror images” in couples’ birth charts, potentially with a conjunction of the black moons, with these people’s partner’s black moon in the 1st house or marked by Mars, etc. etc. etc.
It is also important to watch out for aspects formed with Pluto and Saturn, which may specify details about the “dark” way in which the black moon will express itself, that is, the type of shadow that it may activate (in terms of domination, power-based relationships, limitations, constraints, etc.).
What may be very difficult with this position is that despite everything we need certain keys that others have; there is some level of dependence that is established and that also opens up the path to fragility, dependency, and the fact that some people will hit you where it hurts.
This type of energy always, invariably takes time (Saturn) to be truly sublimated, and it is not rare for a more mature age to be much more favorable for this black moon. There will have been time to deal with a good number of teething problems beforehand with difficult relationships, and wisdom will help us to better understand our own expectations and other people’s problems.
The planet Neptune may also be something to analyze; as it is Venus’s upper octave, it may clarify the nature of how devotion and sacrifice may be relevant, for example whether or not a “victim/nurse” pattern will tend to be established, with a need to help and care for others, and with sensitivity that responds quite directly to other people’s distress and which represents a sort of “karmic flaw” (people with this positioning may assign themselves a duty to “pay a debt” to someone else in this way, and they may have the feeling that they have an “interpersonal debt,” which is often affective in nature).
The other difficulty with this sort of positioning is that social/interpersonal failures are likely to be taken very personally and really taken to heart, with these people considering themselves to be very much responsible for things, as though they are at the root of every problem, while at the same time tending to free others of guilt, considering that these other people are potentially better! And of course these people will need to find the right balance here.

This is bound to be highly detrimental to self-confidence and initiative, but it any case this also greatly accentuates the need to “surround yourself with the right people,” to carefully select the people you collaborate with, associate with, and marry, because a huge number of things will happen that depend directly on these other people! (sometimes without you yourself having a say in the matter)
The aphorisms of traditional astrology tend to associate many different “affective fatalities” with this positioning, but I believe, as I do for any positioning for that matter, that humanistic astrology indicates that when we consciously work with and express an evolutive process, we can actually avoid many “potential issues” that pertain to this positioning.
