Welcome to the Full Moon in Taurus. An earthy, sensual and divine position for this Venus ruled moon. Compared to the previous new moon in Scorpio and this one is far less aspected so it will feel a lot less challenging. Taurus is an earth sign, ruled by Venus and it is said to be exalted in this sign. It speaks of fertility, nourishment and all to do with that grounded type of Venusian energy, so take the opportunity to rest, slow down and indulge gently in the senses somehow.
We do however, have in Mercury Retrograde motion and also just about to conjoin the Sun which is know as a Cazimi. The blending of the Sun and Mercury’s energies so we have a very good opportunity to really let the sun infuse its power toward our projects or whatever we may be working on. Any planet whose centre is within 17 minutes of the arc of the centre of the Sun is referred to as Cazimi. It’s one of the highest forms of good luck. Retrograde motion still reminds us to double check all the details and be patient with sudden changes of plans etc, but I would really prefer to focus on the positive of the current energies surrounding this full moon. A Cazimi is an elevated or improved state. It could indicate a a slow but clarifying situation, after a time of uncertainty. This is at 18 degrees of Scorpio. You should start to see solutions to previously tricky situations. Be flexible and it’s always important to follow your intuition of course.
Mercury is also now closer to the earth so certain situations are brought to our attention. We can start to get back on track now after the early part of Mercury Retrograde and the usual setbacks. This full moon is sill a very grounded energy being in the earth sign of Taurus. Take time to chill out, catch up on some of your favourite TV or Netflix show or movies. Bask in that delicious feeling Taurus delivers to us.
Mars is also in a nice sextile aspect to Sagittarius, giving us the courage to move forward with stuff we’ve been perhaps putting off and needing to complete. Don’t let doubts creep in as Mars will give us the impetus to get things done. It’s not a time for hesitation. You may notice an inner change of heart about some things and feel a sense of confidence, and a burst of energy to help you scoop up the prize! This is a really healthy and helpful aspect between Mars and Jupiter. Also this full moon ruler is Venus (rules Libra and Taurus) and she is now in the sign of Sagittarius which points to adventure, travel or at least some element of daring fun so go for it. Venus does however have a square (challenging) aspect to watery Neptune. This may mean you can feel like there is a bit of fog descending over you as well. It is only temporary but something to be aware of. It can also be used constructively particularly around creativity. Your sensitivity will be heightened. Give yourselves room to dream and down tools when you can over these few days. Nourish your body and soul.
The Full Moon in Taurus is at its most sensual so really embrace this energy – light some aromatic candles or incense, cook a delicious meal, play your favourite music, book yourself a relaxing massage. Slow down, rest, get plenty of sleep. It’s really important to be ‘in your body’ so when you feel a little anxious or restless, in your head too much, adopt some strategies to feel more grounded. Walk near nature, take time out to just ‘breathe!’
Enjoy and try to soak up the blessings from this most sensual and beautiful of Full Moon’s.
