Full Moon in Taurus
Resourcefulness through the Body
The Full Moon occurred on Friday, November 15 at 1:28 pm PT in the Taurus-Scorpio axis. For the past 3 weeks, we have been exploring the deepness of Scorpio, a time for revelations and confrontations with the collective shadows.
One of the main associations of Scorpio's association is with death. Metaphorically speaking, just as the autumn leaves are changing colors in the Northern Hemisphere, this is the season when parts of ourselves are meant to die. This process begins with awareness, and our ability to see the parts of ourselves that were hidden for too long and keeping us stuck in old unhealthy patterns.
It can feel overwhelming to traverse the dark waters...AND the universe has its intelligence and way of balancing itself with the grounding energy of the Full Moon in Taurus. This Full Moon in Taurus appears at a time where we could all use some earth energy to hold and nourish us as we embrace change...the Taurian vessel that contains Scorpio's alchemical process.
The energy of Scorpio teaches us to trust in the unknown and makes us see that we never really have control over our healing path, but Taurus shows us the tangible steps that we can take to allow the unfolding to happen. Taurus reminds us that even though we are spiritual beings in this incarnation, we also have a physical body that carries immense wisdom and the ability to heal. Taurus brings us back to the insight that lives in our subtle body sensations.
With Taurus, we are reminded that it is up to us to create a safe container within ourselves...when the world outside of us feels chaotic and uncertain, we can always turn towards our bodies and the safety that we can create for ourselves by radically loving and appreciating our vessel.
One of the most significant signatures of this Full Moon is the conjunction of the Moon with Uranus, the planet of awakening and unconventional change. This combination can bring unexpected shifts, emotional intensity, and heightened intuition. Uranian energy can feel jolting to the system, however, if we're able to be present with how the body is moving through these electric charges, we can learn how incredibly resourceful we naturally are, and how new possibilities are unfolding for all of us.
