Full Moon in Taurus: Doing Away With Old Structures and Creating New Ones



Tomorrow (November 3rd 2017 at 10:23 PM PDT) we are having a Full Moon in Taurus. This is an intense Full Moon that packs a punch. Change and transformation are in the air! 

As I usually mention, Full Moons are a time of harvest, culmination and letting go. What is coming to a head at this time? What are we letting go? Well let's take a look at some of the themes. 

This Full Moon is comprised of the Moon in Taurus and the Sun in Scorpio. This means there is a tug of war between structure/stability (Taurus) and total transformation (Scorpio). Of course we have to try to find a happy balance between these things ideally. The Scorpio energy though, rules our deep desires and we are wanting those now. Especially since Jupiter entered Scorpio. Being in touch with our deepest desires is even a theme for the year. At this time we have to let go of structures that we are holding on to that feel secure, so that we can indeed fulfill our desires. 

While we are being urged ( and let's be honest, most of us probably don't actually need urging right now) to let go of certain things and go after our desires, we want to try not to act too rashly. The Moon is exalted in Taurus, so hopefully this good Moon energy will help us be grounded and stable enough in our emotions. 

Now this energy can play out in any area of our lives and it is best to look at our charts at 11 degrees Scorpio and Taurus to see how this will personally affect us. For some there could be some things that come up around romantic relationships. Scorpio rules intimacy and sexuality, so stuff could come up around that. Scorpio is also the sign associated with jealousy and Taurus with possessiveness and in past Full Moons in Taurus, these are issues that have been prevalent. I'm bringing that up now, cause jealousy and possessiveness could backfire with an aspect that is going on during the Full Moon, which is Venus opposite Uranus. 

Venus opposing Uranus has even more significance because Venus rules Taurus, the sign the Full Moon is in. This aspect means that the drive to break free and be an individual is at odds with the  desire to have compromise and harmony. As you can see, possessiveness won't work right now because it allows neither freedom nor compromise. Of course compromise is ideal right now, we just need to find a balance with our own individuality. 

Uranus's involvement in this Full Moon just further shows that we are in for some change. It was involved in our last New Moon too, so we have been on this path of change for a little while. 

Neptune is involved in the Full Moon making a positive and exact aspect. With this aspect there is definitely a dreamy vibe in the air. A lot of people may feel spacey and tired in the midst of all this crazy change. This is a good time though for spiritual insights and to be in touch with our intuition. 

The last aspect I want to mention that is going on at the time of the Full Moon is Saturn square Chiron. This may bring some wounds to the surface and feelings of victimhood. There also may be some wounds around what you believe. As in beliefs you may have about yourself or the world around you. Also there may be a feeling of disconnection. 

~Overall, this is a high energy Full Moon! We are changing and transforming that's for sure. It's similar to The Tower card pictured above. Structures in our lives that aren't in alignment with our deepest desires are falling apart, so that we can create new ones that will serve us better. Try to find balance in the chaos and healing by getting in touch with spirituality. Find compromise even within your desire to be free~
