This Taurus Full Moon, Hunter’s Moon, Supermoon (phew) is magnificent in its beauty and light, but also in its affect on the earth. Always, when the Moon is closest to the earth, we feel the lunar energies and our emotions more deeply. Taurus is ruled by the Planet Venus and enhances and inspires our creative abilities as well as our desires for love and intimacy. Taurus is the earthy, sensual expression of the Goddess of Love, delighting in the hedonistic pleasures of the body and material world. Taurus, the first of the earthsigns, is involved in our basic needs — survival, food, shelter, money, comfort and security.
This Full Moon could bring to light any areas of excess in these survival energies, where we might be holding on too tightly to what we have. It may be time to reassess and let go of those things that keep you entrapped and bogged down with responsibility. Taurus and Scorpio are polar opposites. Taurus is “Hold on” and Scorpio is “Let go”. Finding a balance between the two is the objective. So, the Sun in Scorpio is a good time to release the old parts of ourselves and transform our world into something more powerful and useful.
Venus in Libra is in a close opposition to Uranus in Aries. This energy can help us let go of any relationships that are not healthy. The energy of this shake-up/break-up lunar cycle started with the October 19th, 2017 Uranian New Moon and all the themes of disruption, revolution, and liberation culminate at this Taurus Full Moon. Uranus speeds up our awareness into a higher consciousness. And the core of Taurus’s impulse is to awaken and find value and love, which includes love of self. This Full Moon shows us our underlying issues of worthiness and receptivity that may keep us closed off to our higher purpose. There is no worthiness measuring stick. It exists only in the structures you have created in your own mind. So this is that perfect opportunity to release all feelings of unworthiness and everything that restricts your progress, and to move forward with confidence in your innate goodness, into your heart-space, abundant creativity, and your goals and dreams.
Taurus easily connects with Earth energy and all of nature, so get outdoors and take a meditative walk and open to communing with the elementals. Breathe deeply and enjoy the colors and smells of this beautiful Autumn time. Gratitude and nature are the perfect combination to receive the inspiration you desire to propel you forward.

A Full Moon symbolizes the fulfillment of the seeds planted at a previous New Moon or some earlier cycle. Each Full Moon reminds us of the seeds that may be coming to maturity, to their fullness, to fruition, to the place where the fruits or gifts are received. It may seem that fulfillment of our goals takes a long time. Some intentions may manifest within the two week phase prior to the next New or Full Moon. Some however, depending on their complexity, may take a much longer time. Just remember that our thoughts and emotions set Universal Action in motion and much work takes place behind the scenes as everything is orchestrated for fulfillment. Keep visualizing your goals as though you have already attained them and they will eventually manifest. Do not concern yourself with current conditions or worry about controlling it. The universe takes care of those details. Just keep seeing what you want, and move in that direction with your actions, and give no energy to what you don’t want. Patience is required.
