The full moon is exact at 5:19 AM Pacific time. There are multiple active aspects during this lunation. The grand water trine is bringing up more and more nostalgic and oft challenging emotions. The full moon in Taurus asks us to ground into our bodies, no matter how hard it feels. With Mars newly minted in Sagittarius and Mercury slowing down in this mutable fire sign, there is a balance to be struck between yin and yang activities. Venus is finishing up in Libra (entering Scorpio @ 2:40 PM November 6th), bringing an air of refinement to our development. Things are coming together, and may want to take off before they have been inspected. Uranus (currently in Gemini) will makes its final foray in Taurus starting in just over 48 hours (November 7th) and lasting through April 25th. A combination of the past and the future all want to come together at once. This represents a stalemate somewhere, as something must go to make space for the new. Ideally we don’t throw things away, but have a ceremonial goodbye to the old parts of our structures and self.
Our role is deciding how we will negotiate this tension. Let’s dive a little deeper…
The full moon in Taurus is a time to get in touch with our senses. How is the body doing? Have you set any sort of goals, restrictions or requirements for your body and its maintenance? This is a great time to check in to see how that is going. Maybe you need a break, to just let yourself indulge. Or perhaps you need to find some discipline where you have been letting yourself go. The influence of Mars indicates that something is out of balance. While the full moon in Taurus opposing the powerful Sun in Scorpio says “You have the power to create what you need.”
Peace is precious and should be valued as such. Every transit comes with some upgrades, this full moon is no different. In order to receive it, we must speak the language.
This means s-l-o-w-i-n-g d-o-w-n.
Take time to sit… in silence… and FEEL your body. Take yourself to a spa. Sit down when you eat. Eat something warm and home cooked. Enjoy the time it takes to do things of value.
Value is built over time. The highest expression of this full moon in Taurus is to enjoy the little things, the every thing. Beauty lies in the eye of the beholder… yes? When we train our eyes to see more beauty… behold, there is more beauty. Little steps towards appreciating yourself, your friends, your pets, your home and your possessions. Eat with gratitude in order to enjoy every bite. When you are doing something, make it the only thing that you do.
Taurus is all about presence.
One challenge of Taurus energy is just how present we can become with something.
It is a lot. Who wants to feel everything?
Use your focus and intention. We cannot change how deeply we feel and sense things, but we can decide what to focus on. The breath, the body, the environment. If we feel awash in the random chaos of the world, we can always come back to these things. What a gift it is to have a central nervous system that can register the world and offer us feedback. Attune your sensors to the things you want to dive into.
Receive loving touch and company. Is it a friend, your partner, a masseuse, or even a blanket. Maybe you have some fuzzy socks you like to wear. Make yourself feel cozy and loved. It is in these relaxed and comfortable places that we can feel through our unprocessed energies, thus freeing ourselves to be lighter.
Taurus as the ‘Bull’dozer
Why is Taurus energy seen as stubborn or dense? Taurus energy is focused. The focused energy allows for concentration. There is a magnetic pull. This can feel heavy, but it is really just an attractive force. In our world, knowing what you want and not negotiating needs can be seen as stubborn. The structures of our world benefit when people ‘do as they are told’ or ‘follow the herd’. Taurus must think for themselves, for they know the truth in their bones. I would prefer someone be hard to convince of something. That shows me they are considering the variables and also have deep loyalty. Maybe we all could be a little more ‘stubborn’ as to our own needs.
So use this energy as a bulldozer. Concentrate on something that you wish to change. For this particular lunation, you could choose to clean out a closet, express yourself to a close friend/lover, or perhaps move past an old wound in prayer and meditation.
Many people are becoming lighter and lighter these days. The elevated energetic field has us vibrating like hummingbirds. This has us feeling free as we work through and break the chains of old karma. This is lovely, but also can have us out of balance. Perhaps we left the root unattended and our patterns are still nipping at our heels. The full moon in Taurus can help us land safely, take stock of our environment, and move the deepest and most dense pieces.
Till the soil, turn it over and help it compost. The old pieces of you aren’t bad or nasty, they are just no longer useful. The longer that they were with us, the longer they take to fully return to source.
Just go for a Ride
I speak in possibilities here, but in reality, who knows how it will look. Between the grand water trine, Mars in Sagittarius Uranus about to leave Gemini, things may not look very Taurus.
Consider the Taurus energy riding in the backseat, almost like a safety mechanism for an adventure. While you may be moving fast, the backseat driver is reminding you of the dangers.
You don’t have to listen to them, but it would probably be wise to take a little bit of caution. The full moon is just being overshadowed by dynamic energies. The body will always keep the score, but also, the body is capable of amazing things. Even if you are tired, there is something left in the tank. Push if you must, cause if you do, you’ll have a good time.
Take in what you want to take in. Do what you want to do. Just be careful and don’t hurt anybody else.
More than anything, Stay out of people’s way. Don’t try to teach them anything or fight over some inane BS online. This will make you depressed and self loathing, it will also hurt them.
The full moon is a time of expression and growth.
