☽ FULL MOON IN TAURUS – 17 NOVEMBER 2013 ☾ November 17th sees a Full Moon in Taurus. Taurus is an earth sign, concerned with our physical body and Nature, and prefers to keep drama to a minimum. It is a sign connected to what we value and how we value ourselves. Taurus ruler Venus loves beauty and pleasure in appropriate amounts, generates self-worth when we develop our talents, and helps us decide what will make us happy so that we can ask for what we really want. This Full Moon reflects upon growing in life, and where we are ‘stuck in the mud.’ This is a time of appreciating your blessings, and acknowledging the seeds and ideas that have shriveled up and died. Taurus encourages us to connect with what matters. As the Retrograde period has now passed, reflect back. What did you learn about yourself during the retrograde? Were you able to retrieve a part of your Shadow that wants to live again? Did you let go of personal wounds that need to die? If you left behind your old story concerning your secret sorrows, now is the time to stop and rest before you begin your new story. There is plenty of time to get to work on it. It is a time to rest and celebrate the fact that we made it through another year. It is a time to let go of the worries and frustrations and let yourself sink into your body so you can refresh your soul. In the depths of outer darkness, a Taurus Full Moon can remind us of the pleasures of life. Taurus welcomes in the blossoms of the new life of Spring. Celebrate with good food and drink in a comfortable environment. After the tensions of the eclipse season, we could use some down time, relaxing with friends and family. The Moon enjoys her stay in sensual, down to earth Taurus and with no major aspects to the luminaries to disturb matters you may as well enjoy yourself and indulge. However, be aware that for some, Venus conjoining Pluto may stir up control issues and jealousy. Venus is now in the sign of Capricorn. This is a time during which we discover if our social system is taking care of our heart needs. On a personal level, it connects us to how well our inner rules are serving our lives. Capricorn already leans towards being controlling in relationships, and with Uranus in Aries squaring the Venus-Pluto conjunction, arguments may erupt seemingly out of nowhere over who is the boss. These disagreements are likely due to resentment that has built up behind the scenes for quite some time. These may now come to the forefront, especially since the recent Solar Eclipse in Scorpio stirred up some mud in regards to deep and underlying emotions. A waxing trine between Saturn in Scorpio and Jupiter in Cancer connects to Mars in Virgo to create a mini-triangle in earth and water. This is a fortuitous pattern that combines work ethic, inspiration and plenty of tenacity. It is perfect for works in progress, and affirms the need to go with clear strategies based firmly in reality. Success will come from sustained effort and a pragmatic approach. For those who are still in the planning stages, this is a wonderful time for choosing a direction. Your dreams, both while sleeping and when awake, may provide the keys needed to make the best possible choice. Intuition and gut feelings are an important factor here. The Sabian symbol for the Moon at Taurus is: ‘A Spanish gallant serenades his Beloved.’ This symbol triggers the concept of the Muse, the beauty who inspires the singer to sing, the writer to write, the artist to paint. This Moon image suggests that its time to pay attention to the Heart. For a man, a woman symbolizes his soul. For a woman, a man symbolizes her protection and self-actualization. It is time to sing to your soul and ask for Love. It is time to rest on your harvest and tune in within. What is incubating inside you? What do you want? What is your hearts desire? Who or what inspires you to be more than you are? Who or what makes you tumble with ideas? Who or what makes you sing and dance? Tune into that feeling. This is not about money and power, but rather life and hope. This is a great time to work on your new life story.
