Full Moon in Taurus - November 12, 2019
On Tuesday, November 12th, 2019 (5:34 AM PST and 8:34 AM EST) the Full Moon glows in the aesthetically pleasing and peaceful sign of Taurus. The sign that loves to delight in her senses and finds fulfillment in life’s simple pleasures. She’s the type of girl that knows the magic of a sunset and the beauty that lives in the stillness of a forest, or even the pause that falls between the beats in a song. You can trust that when she’s by the ocean she feels the crashing waves pulse through her body, but she doesn’t need to use a single word to describe it. She’ll make sure to appreciate the ambiance of a place just as much as the taste of her food. If you haven’t figured it out, she’s earthy, but this isn’t to say she doesn’t like her comforts found in the material world. In fact, they might even be what fill her with a lot of warmth and security. Of course her shadow might appear if she starts to believe that these things are the only source to her joy. In other words, she’s trapped herself; because, what she once possessed now possesses her, and maybe even defines her.
So what does this mean for this Full Moon?
As you know, The Full Moon occurs when the earth sits directly between the Moon and the Sun. Right now the Sun falls in Scorpio, the sign that breathes intensity, lives in the depths, and is wired to penetrate to the core of all things. Scorpio is asking for you to look at the raw honest truth behind a matter and to feel those uncomfortable emotions that are hidden below.While theMoon is grounded in Taurus energy and is asking you to slow down, listen to your body, take in your environment, and live in the ease of the moment.I also need to add to the mix that Mercury (currently retrograde), the planet that’s connected to our thoughts, our thinking patterns, and our perception is linked to the Sun right now and is identifying quite strongly with the intense nature of Scorpio. It’s possible that this tension is highlighting some of the more practical issues in your life connected to your security and the things you most value.Since we’re dealing with Scorpio territory be aware of how control, fear, and power want to creep in to the mix.
This might be a good time to consider indulging in the things that bring you comfort especially if life feels like “too much” right now. Do your best to let your senses guide you. Trust that your body has a deep and infinite wisdom that can hold all of life’s mysteries inside it.The good news is it doesn’t need for you to do or say anything more about it.
If we look to the ruler of Taurus we find Venus and since she’s currently in Sagittarius we know that she’s on a quest to follow her heart. Her key word is freedom. Maybe you feel more optimistic about your relationships right now, but I do need to address that dreamy Neptune is making a challenging alignment with Venus. So don’t be surprised if you find yourself caught up in a fantasy about a particular someone or something that isn’t as real as you would like it to be.If this is the case, you could feel disappointed when your feet come back down from the clouds. There’s also the possibility with this configuration that you feel a desire to escape from the harsh realities of your world. Trust me, I get it. Distractions are tempting, especially when our emotions are running high. Instead of getting lost inside your imagination see if you can use it to fuel your creativity and connect to some higher purpose – some might even call this the “divine.” Keep in mind that with Mars and Pluto working at cross purposes with one another you might feel an intense sparring over who has the power and control in a particular situation, experience, or event.
It seems that with all these strong complex energies swirling around Taurus is asking us to be still. She is asking us to find the things that ground us and bring us back into our body and back into the moment.While life is certainly complex (says Scorpio) there is a simplicity (says Taurus) that needs nothing more than our presence. If we can lean into this Full Moon, maybe we can feel the stabilizing energy of Taurus reminding us to ground ourselves in a moment so that we face any of the more deep, complex, and unsettling emotions linked to our past.
While we all might find ourselves caught between complexities and simplicities, we will each experience this lunar energy differently depending on where Taurus is located in your chart or if you have a natal planet associated with it. If you would like a more personalized reading, to learn about who you are and what you’ve come here to do, I’d love to set up a session with you.
