Taurus Full Moon
Taurus Full Moon
All full moons occur when the sun and the moon sit opposing each other in the sky in polar opposite zodiac signs. In this case, the moon will be in Taurus the zodiac sign that symbolizes fertility and growth while the sun sits in Scorpio, the zodiac sign that represents death and transformation. Symbolically, the Taurus full moon brings closure to the projects, goals, and situations that were initiated in early spring, at the Taurus new moon. Now at the full moon, it’s time to close out the things you started 6 months ago. In the northern hemisphere, the earth is beginning to lose life force energy, grow cold, and vegetation dies. Like the earth, we are preparing for winter transformation.
The moon in Taurus brings a strong focus to practical matters, creating stability, meaningful relationships, and career. The moon in Taurus is likened to Mother Nature; it is concerned with the manifestation and growth in the material world. The moon in Taurus is very powerful and will definitely be felt in our emotions, our cravings for beauty and pleasure, and in the longing for greater attainment such as leveling-up, deepening bonds, and clarifying any gray-areas. Taurus energy is direct and strong; therefore, anything that isn’t growing or supporting advancement won’t make the cut and will be axed during the full moon.
Every zodiac sign will feel the impact of the full moon; however, it will be especially potent for Taurus and Scorpio sun, moon, rising, and Venus people, as well as Libra sun and rising folks who’ll get residual energy from Venus. Taurus and Scorpio are polar opposite signs they sit across each other on the zodiac wheel and share many of the same qualities and goals just expressed differently. The shared agenda of these zodiac signs is to create stability in order to provide for family and loved ones through their skill and handwork. Taurus accomplishes this through the grounding, tactile element of earth, while Scorpio uses the sensing, emotional quality of water. Taurus is more connected with money because it is the currency used to acquire the things needed (home, food, healthcare, clothes, education); Scorpio is more concerned with connections and relationships to build the support systems that money can’t buy. Money and relationship are important to both signs because they represent value, measurable and immeasurable.
The Full Moon Players
Uranus has been moving backwards through Taurus since the summer and has ended-up sitting hand-in hand with the Moon. This closeness is called a conjunction and basically means the two planets are operating in unison, it’s impossible to separate their energies. If you forgot, the moon rules emotional expression, subconscious needs, and they type of emotional comfort we seek to feel safe and secure. Uranus’ energy bring unexpected events, revelations, and rebels against the status-quo in favor of novelty and personal freedom. The moon in Taurus craves consistency, stability, and dependability and sitting with Uranus you may find yourself suddenly or unexpectedly making changes or taking action to liberate yourself from fruitless situations in order to get more of what you want. Uranus can bring some pretty big upsets but thankfully the planet is in retrograde; this turns a lot of its energy inward so we feel compelled to make changes or leave people and situations that restrict freedom or in the case with Taurus energy anything that counteracts the creation of stability and consistency when it comes to finances, relationships, and resources.
Venus is retrograde in Scorpio forming a conjunction (energy share) with the Sun. Venus in retrograde slows down the speed and quality of the love, money, and relationships we manifest. Venus’ energy share with the sun boosts Scorpio energy expression of passion, sexuality, building close bonds, and creating security. Under this influence expect to exude more passion, to take an assertive, yet subtle approach to getting your needs met, and to be more in tune with the feeling and emotions of other people.
Venus presence in the full moon strengthens the focus on relationships and value. The planet Venus rules the zodiac sign Taurus; consequently, Taurus inherits Venus’ qualities of beauty, fertility, and sensuality. Similar to Taurus, Scorpio craves consistency and dependability. Scorpio energy is willing to take care of anything and anyone it cares for but it does expect reciprocation in return; during retrograde relationships are up for review as well as how our actions and mindsets related to relationships (and money) are counterproductive and need to heal or evolve. Venus in Scorpio’s lesson is to quality over quantity.
These are the two halves that make up the full moon.
The moon and Uranus in Taurus sit across from the sun and Venus in Scorpio. These two pairs are having a strenuous yet productive meeting. The topic, if you haven’t figured out by now, is to determine what is important when it comes to home, career, money, and relationships and then getting rid or walking away from the things that won’t produce or can’t be stabilized. This is a time of release so do expect casualties, especially related to love and money. Don’t sweat it though, remember the moon in Taurus is super fertile so think of any losses as weeds being pulled to allow what’s important to grow and thrive.
Ensuring that the deliberations between the sun and moon are balanced and productive is the planet Saturn. Saturn is that no-nonsense disciplinarian that makes sure we learn the rules and play by them. Saturn is sitting in Capricorn (an earth sign like Taurus) making positive connections to both the sun and the moon. Saturn is letting the two sides hash it out but ensures that the actions taken are mature, thought-out, and are practical especially related to the future and long-term success. Saturn restricts the flow of energy, so there may not be any big emotional displays or dramatic out-pours of feelings or tears, similarly actions maybe quick and unexpected but not reactionary or careless.
Opportunity and Release
Remember Taurus and Scorpio energy is very similar so this isn’t a true battle its more about finding common ground and understanding within yourself and how in outward expression. We know Venus retrograde is helping us take a long hard look at all kinds of relationships but especially romantic ones. Uranus energy will bring realizations that help us discern the truth, such as if a relationship is toxic, if your partner isn’t playing fair in love, or if the reason you can’t find love is because you expectations are over the top. Whatever it is, Uranus will bring it to light and then help you move away from whatever isn’t working whether it be something within you or a person/situation.
When it comes to money and career, it’s time to check in on your efforts thus far. Taurus energy is the epitome of consistency “if it isn’t broke, don’t fit it” mentality. The downside is that everything needs to change or upgrade from time to time not just when it’s broken. Uranus is also going to shake us out of our emotional comfort zone and possibly provide a swift quick in the butt as a wake-up call to start making changes and taking actions that break-us out of the status quo. The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting a new result. If your financial or career goals aren’t being met but you are working hard then it’s time to take a look at your efforts, the situation, and any outside influences impacting the situation. Definitely do all of the traditional things such as create a budget, calling your creditors for a repayment play, and set up a savings and spending plan. It’s better to take initiative to bring things to closure because under Saturn’s influence anyone you owe money or have made a promise and haven’t delivered will come calling to collect. Also, this is a good time to reach out to someone for a loan or for additional support if you needed it, but don’t wait until the last minute. Scorpio governs the sharing of resources, so family, friends, banks, and even creditors will be more willing to work with you but because Venus is retrograde the process or approval may take some time so submit your ask now.
When it comes to money flow and job opportunity there is a chance of termination and unexpected situations that bleed your bank account but also upgrades and unexpected opportunities that help create more stability or bring more income (thanks to all that Taurus fertility). If you find yourself struggling to make a decision when it comes to an opportunity Saturn will be there helping you walk through the pros and cons to make the best decision`; spoiler alert – if it’s a new opportunity or something you didn’t think you would be doing but it leads to reward, don’t be stubborn, just do it!
Full Moons are a time of release, however the release comes at the climax of peak fertility. Taurus is one of the most fertile signs of the zodiac (remember Mother Nature vibes) so definitely use the Taurus full moon for manifestation rituals and magic. The day of the full moon (Wednesday) and Friday, skip Thursday when the moon connects with Pluto.

Healing and Evolving
All full moons carry potential for healing. Healing is a form of release and it makes us whole mentally, emotionally, and physically so that we can create abundantly happy lives. If I didn’t mention before, let me remind you now – Scorpio loves to heal but not the kiss your boo-boo and make it better healing. Nope, Scorpio likes to go deep, into the shadows, and touch the core of pain, trauma, and abuse. When you heal at this level, the release allows you to evolve as person. The Taurus full moon brings opportunity to heal deep-seated pain, betrayal, and even family wounding related to relationships, self-worth, and even your relationship with money. It’s best to work on healing now, during the season of death and transformation so that you are free and more whole when the season of growth comes in the spring.
