Full Moon in Taurus Musings

If there is one universal truth we can all agree on, is that nothing lasts for ever.

Everything in the cosmos is ephemeral & impermanent.

We are created as part of beginnings & destroyed as part of endings. And in between, we cycle through infinite spirals of life, death & transformation. Such is the natural order of things.

Knowing that the only thing we have on our hands is time, two questions come into focus: how attached we are to the physical & emotional planes, and what do we do with the limited time that is given to us.

Taurus & Scorpio are fixed signs, meaning they have difficulty letting go & welcoming change. Taurus holds on to the past through physical objects & bodily sensations that bring back memories lost to time. Scorpio grasps onto emotions & energetic traces left on their psyche by intense experiences. Both are reluctant to let go, because that would mean accepting death & impermanence, not only of the experience, but also of the part of themselves that's attached to the experience, and which has become part of their current identity.

On this full moon, Uranus & Mars oppose each other at 0° of Gemini & Sagittarius respectively. The zero degree is new territory, new beginnings, a clean slate. This aspect screams for an urgent need for change & freedom from the fixed influence of Taurus & Scorpio, especially when it comes to the past, which has grown roots so thick & deep it feels more like an asphyxiating cage than a vehicle for transformation.

Mars opposite Uranus gives us the courage, ambition & strength to go our own way, gain independence from something/someone, and prioritise ourselves & our mission. There's an explosive urge to break free from old attachments, repeating patterns & outdated dynamics. There's also a desperate need for answers, deeper meaning, concrete guidance & "signier" signs, as regards the bigger questions & the next steps of our journey. Keep your eyes & ears open to receive messages, which might come in the most unexpected ways.

So, what are you still holding onto that's preventing you from moving forward? What has had you trapped for so long, you know you must break free? What are you still unwilling to sacrifice, even though you know you must in order to embark on the next stage of your journey?

The time has come to bury our dead, release attachment & plant seeds for new life.

And if this full moon feels overwhelming, we can always count on the Earth for grounding & stability. Walking barefoot, spending time in nature, hugging trees, talking about our troubles out loud to the earth, are some ideas fit for today.

Wishing you a blessed full moon.

With love,
