Full Moon in Taurus: Values and Balance

On November 5th, we welcome a powerful Full Moon in Taurus, opposite the Sun in Scorpio. The moon is exalted in the sign of Taurus. This super moon will particularly affect those with planets at 10-16 degrees of the fixed signs: Taurus, Leo, Scorpio, and Aquarius. This super moon completes the cycle that began with April’s New Moon in Taurus. Reflect on what was happening in your life back then, particularly regarding security, stability, and finances– how have your priorities shifted?

Super Moons affect all bodies of water, especially the ebb and flow of the ocean’s tides. Indeed, we are also profoundly impacted by full moons as our bodies are comprised of 50-60% water.

Venus in Libra, ruling this Full Moon, emphasizes the theme of evaluating what and who we truly value. She seeks balance and reciprocity in our relationships. 

Healing and Transformation

Saturn and Neptune’s return to Pisces brings wisdom and invites us to revisit emotional or spiritual matters before embarking on new cycles. Plus, their collaboration with Jupiter in Cancer opens the door for deep healing and the release of past wounds. In addition, Jupiter’s upcoming retrograde on November 11th, coupled with its ongoing square to Chiron in Aries, emphasizes the potential for profound healing of past traumas and emotional wounds before embarking on new cycles.

Breaking Free and Speaking Up

Mars entered Sagittarius on November 4th, opposing Uranus in Gemini and potentially bringing surprises or sudden revelations. This revolutionary energy urges us to break free from societal norms and speak up in support of fairness and equality for the marginalized in society and indeed around the globe.

Mercury Retrograde and Communication Caution

Mercury goes retrograde on November 9th at 6 degrees Sagittarius, emphasizing freedom of speech. However, as Mercury is also out of bounds, communication may be unpredictable. Those with planets in early Sagittarius or Gemini should be cautious to avoid verbal conflicts and impulsive, opinionated social media posts.

Seeking Truth and Connection

On November 20th, Mercury and the Sun are conjunct at 28 degrees Scorpio, encouraging us to seek truth and form deeper connections with others as it becomes increasingly important for us to connect with our tribe of like-minded individuals. And, mark your calendars for Mercury stationing direct on November 29th when communication woes abate.

Remember, what truly matters are the connections with our loved ones. Let this Taurus Full Moon guide you to what’s genuinely valuable in your life.
