The Full Moon exacts at 2 degrees of Taurus at 12:12 am PDT on October 26th, illuminating our relationship with security, stability, comfort, and the things we've worked hard to build.
While the Libra New Moon asked us to examine the agreements we've made with our lives, the Taurus Full Moon asks what those agreements are costing us, and what is still worth protecting.
Are you holding on to something because it genuinely supports you or is it because you're afraid? That's the type of energy this Full Moon brings, asking us the deeper, tougher questions.
That's because on the same day as this Full Moon, the Sun squares Pluto, retrograde Venus opposes Chiron and retrograde Mercury squares Mars. PHEW. It's a day!
This is high-tension atmosphere, bringing deep emotional excavation and relational reckoning. The Pluto square forces an uncomfortable confrontation with control dynamics and/or our fears.
There is also a tender vulnerability coming up around love and worth and the wounds we've been holding on to for quite some time. There may be an edge to our words or a reopening of past arguments. Reactivity and defensiveness will be peaking at this time and unfolding over days after this Full Moon.
But there's a bit of relief because the following two weeks after this lunation bring a different kind of flow. From the Full Moon to the New Moon of November 9th, the sky will be quieter than previous weeks. The planets are less chatty with each other. This means there won't be a piling of up of events the way things have been recently. But the intensity is still dialled all the up. Mercury, Venus and Saturn retrogrades are still here. And the truth about what we've experienced, or what has come up, isn't going to go away.
