Look to the houses/areas of your life where the earth signs are. The Full Moon in Taurus (ruled by Venus) forms a harmonious trine to Venus in Virgo. This opens our hearts and lives to receive whatever we require for a deeper connection to that within us that allows us to give and receive love. Learning to love, trust, and accept ourselves as we are (warts and all) allows us to discover inner fulfillment in the mindful present. We can catch a glimpse of this at this time as heaven and earth unite as one.
With the Full Moon in Taurus in opposition to the Sun in Scorpio the quest for balance allows us to unite body, mind, spirit, and soul as one in our daily lives. The depth of our longings rise up within us, and our desires become ever so much apparent than they have been in quite some time. We seek to create beauty and set our lives in order as we build beauty within and around us.
The Sun in Scorpio is ruled by Pluto (now in Capricorn, another earth sign). Through the transformative processes of our lives we bring our past into our present, and sift out whatever is no longer viable and fertile. We plant new seeds in the form of plans, projects, intentions, and affirmations that are seeded in our souls. Pluto's trine to the Full Moon heightens the power of transformation in our lives, and we already have begun to feel this strongly. Listen and pay attention to feelings that are rising up at this time, to situations that are coming to a head, and to whatever gaps and losses we have incurred--these are the areas of our lives that can benefit the most from absorbing the lessons of this Full Moon in Taurus opposite the Sun in Scorpio. We can use the energy available and filling our lives right now to bring dreams into reality, bring ideas into manifestation, and to direct our paths according to what truly nurtures and sustains us. Take time to tune into the natural rhythms of life and connect to the natural world as you drink in the sustenance you need for transforming desire into destiny.
Look to the house/part of your life where the Full Moon is transiting.
First House. The Taurus Full Moon energizes the presence you manifest, both in what you project into the world, and how others perceive and understand you. Now is the time to let others know what you really want, and to put intentions in place that you truly desire. Remember, getting what you ask for can be both a blessing and a curse. Be sure you seek clarity in areas you are willing to receive truth. You draw to you what you desire at this time. Your energy is being received, and you want to make sure that what you're sending off is what expresses your best and truest self. Watch how you express your passions and seek intimacy. Avoid possessing what you love. Learn how to use self containment to gather in your power and heal in areas that need healing. Avoid giving your power away. You may feel especially sensual right now, and so adorn and learn to dance the cosmic dance in alignment with your highest ideals for the good and best interests of all concerned. Be yourself and let yourself be natural and at peace with yourself. Find the gifts within.
Second House. This house is naturally ruled by Taurus and Venus. As the Full Moon transits Taurus in the second house, there is a sense of feeling at home and in harmony. Second house matters pertain how we come to value ourselves. We feel at home and at peace with ourselves when the Moon transits the second house. We know where we belong, and we know what we value most. We long to develop and have our gifts recognized and appreciated, and at this full moon it is vital that we first do this with ourselves. We have to find the source of love from within. The Full Moon through the second house calls us to become more self reliant and appreciative.Time also to release anything that is draining, toxic, or interfering with our sense of inner peace and our ability to honor and trust ourselves. The Moon may shine light on how we are blocking our own good.
This Full Moon in Taurus also calls upon us to identify our growing edges and determine how to turn our compulsions into gifts for our soul. Facing co-dependency patterns and aspects of our personality are key to breaking the ties that bind us in harmful and unhealthy relationships and perceptual patterns. Cultivate your gifts, talents, and identify your virtues, values, and resources. Drench yourself in whatever thoughts, beliefs, creative vision, and intuitive understandings that you can as you are filling the well of your own being at this time.
Third House. The third house rulers, Gemini and Mercury, are all about communication. Activities and social interaction increase and are favored when the Full Moon transits Taurus. Feeling more at ease with others, more is accomplished during this time. It is a time to build a strong and supportive network of relationships. What energy is invested in associations and connections leads to long-lasting relationships and partnerships. Communications are crucial at this time, and so whatever you send out in whatever form of communication you use, will be felt on a deep and lasting level.
Fourth House. The fourth house is ruled by Cancer and the Moon. Epiphanies are shared and synchronicity prevails at this time. The home and your sense of feeling at home becomes vitally important at this time. Whatever we value and whatever we use to measure our sense of feeling at home, is an area of our lives that will be important now. We may choose to renovate, remodel, relocate, or renew our homes in some way. Making ourselves feel more at home now, we dig in and bring about a renewal of life all around us. We seek a safe haven and a cozy shelter from all storms and intrusions. Home is where we find our sense of well being most comfortable. We also feel more at home with who we are and where we are now. We have a very real felt need to root ourselves and establish our home base once and for all. This Full Moon in Taurus is also a time of purification and commitment. Developing rituals and traditions is key to sealing our sense of intimacy, contentment, and fertility in all the most creative ways. Our imagination is fertile now, and our lives are full, rich, and animated in spirit. Fourth house transits feature celebrating and honoring the hearth and heart of our homes.
Fifth House. The fifth house rules Leo and the Sun. This house deals with pleasure, romance, children, imaginative play, creativity, and the arts. We long to express our feelings through art, music, sexuality, creativity, and fecundity. We love making gifts and dreaming up ways to bring pleasure into our lives and the lives of others. Time for celebrating and enjoying being together. You act out your passions and spontaneously invite joy into your life. A great transit for making good first impressions or for renewing a spark that may have dimmed. Time for revitalizing what bring joy into your relationships. Venus helps you attract that which you desire. Enjoy celebrating with your children and seeking out the enchantment that childhood offers. Have some fun, let your hair down, and dance on a table. Live life in gleeful abundance.
Sixth house. Ruled by Virgo, Mercury, and Chiron, the sixth house relates to your body and health as well as how you spend your daily lives. What kind of foundation does your life create in you? How is your health helped or hindered by the way you are living or avoiding life? How are you feeding your soul and directing your life and actions toward your life purpose? How is the life you live daily nurturing and sustaining you. Become aware of and attentive to your health, hygiene, and life style.
Time to make choices that lead to a healthier more harmonious life style. What is your stress showing you about what needs to change? How are you living out what you say you believe? How are you serving your own best interests?
Seventh House. Rulers Libra and Venus guide the area of our lives dealing with marriage and partnerships. How do you partnerships and marriage reflect what you value most? How have you provided a foundation for marriage and/or partnerships that influence your most intimate desires? What has attracted you to form commitments and to decipher love in partnership? How are your relationships allowing for you to both give and receive love? What we normally keep in a private space can now be brought out to discuss in a safe and secure space. The sacred bonds between partners can now help unite body, mind, spirit bring heaven on earth and ground heaven in the earthly routines and realities of daily life, home, and family. We can transform going beyond the separation and levels of distance that fear, anger, or anxiety can trap us in. We discover that trials can be tests to see how malleable and authentic we can be. We find we can bend without breaking and we can give without losing ourselves. We can receive love that triggers what we know to be true about ourselves. We learn to recognize the power we have to act from our inner core being in all relationships. We discover that honesty and authenticity when tempered with loving kindness and compassion, is the key to giving and receiving love. Anything less will not do.
Eighth House. Scorpio and Pluto rule the 8th house. This house of transformation allows us to dig deep beneath the surface. We recognize our place in the world and in the ancient lines of our ancestry. We recognize our worth in society, and we also recognize when we are not being appreciated or valued. We also recognize at this time how we are selling ourselves short. Where is the cost of doing what we have been doing too high? Where in our lives are we disconnected, ungrounded, or on shaky ground?
This Full Moon in Taurus asks that we seek deep inner transformation. We find ourselves in healing crises and shedding past lives and patterns. We are wrestling with the tremors that break ups and detoxifying our lives has caused. We are in between, and need this time to heal, expel the past from our systems, and renew our inner strength and vitality. This is a time of deep inner change around feelings and ideas about our own self-worth. Shedding skins and healing crises lead to feeling a detachment from old chains that bound us in roles, connections, paths, and behavior linked to our shadow sides. We discover now that facing our shadows is the only path to grow and transform.
Ninth House. The 9th house is ruled by Sagittarius and Jupiter. Jupiter now in Virgo and Saturn now in Sagittarius, bring home the message that we have to change the way we live in order to grow and prosper. To do this we need to go beyond the boundaries and restrictions that have limited our ability to see beyond a narrow radius of experience. What is beyond all knowing and being now attracts us to explore beyond limits that have kept us prisoner to belief, situations, and self-imposed boundaries. No room in our lives now for cognitive dissonance. Our beliefs, philosophy of life, and life style now need to be in alignment with one another. Travel and research, exploring and adventure are paths that lead us out of darkness and ignorance. Time to grow, learn, expand, and delve more deeply into that which calls us on a soul level. Time for an inner vision quest as you seek your true purpose and meaning for the rest of your life. You begin now to manifest on earth what your soul was called here to do.
Tenth House. Ruled by Capricorn and Saturn, this house is about what calls you to your life purpose. Saturn, the Great Teacher, shines its light on whatever other areas (look to see where Capricorn is in your chart) are being affected by the great transformation taking place in life. You may receive some special notoriety or exposure at this time. The light shines on you or shines on the path to show you what is required of you now. Your gifts are needed, and your energy levels may be overwhelmingly taxed. It's time to rest and pause to reflect on what is calling you to purpose and meaning.
A time to immerse yourself in the energy, sensuality, and grounding of this Taurus Full Moon. Good time to seek a higher purpose, to make connections, and to establish a path forward. Whatever is calling your to grow is now making itself known to you, and you are attracting attention from others as well. Take time to ponder and open yourself to dreams and visions that call your soul to grow.
Eleventh House. Ruled by Aquarius and Uranus, the 11th house rules friends and associations as well as institutions and organizations. This is a time for gatherings and for catching up with people who are part of your vast web of connections. Great ideas are discussed, innovation is being tossed into the ring, and new ways of knowing and learning are being considered. Your ideas may seem to be well received right now, and it's certainly no time for stodginess. Have fun and allow for ideas and imagination to coexist. A good time to collaborate and to discover new ways to engage, innovative break throughs, as well as mind-boggling shots out of the blue. Something of major significance and importance may be announced at this time. A collaborative venture may yield new fruit. Time to expand your circle of friends and to allow for a broader view of the world in general and your area of expertise in particular.
Twelfth House. Pisces and Neptune as well as Jupiter rule the 12th house. Whatever is buried within the subconscious now makes its way to the surface. Depth of soul and spirit kinds of movement now occurs in the 12th house--the house of mysteries, the unknown, the shadow, and that which is hidden from our conscious view. Whatever is stirring beneath the surface of our unconscious is demanding attention. We may need to be alone or logn for more time and quiet to reflect. Our psychic and emotional depths are stirring things up and emotions and insight are bubbling to the surface to be attended to. Time to take care of ourselves and to allow ourselves a time for retreat and inner sanctuary. We may be in the throes of an inner crisis of faith or consciousness or both. We feel extremely sensitive with this transit, and may feel like we're about to be knocked off our center of gravity. Taking care of ourselves, body, mind, and spirit, is crucial at this time. What is outside of you is within you. The Universal energy that transcends time and space dwells within you, and your intuition and intuitive senses are heightened at this time. Be gentle with yourself, and aware and alert to the signals, signs, and heightened awareness that may be activated now (extra sensory awareness).
