Knock Knock….who’s there? The Full Moon in Taurus at 10 degrees on November 2nd, 2009 happens on the heels of some big astrological shifts. Saturn just entered Libra and begins its square to Pluto in Capricorn. Chiron in Aquarius just shifted into forward motion. And in conjunction with the Full Moon, Neptune in Aquarius at 23 degrees is now shifting into Forward motion too. Talk about activity and sensitivity. It is on an all time high. This may be felt as early as this weekend October 31st and onward to November 4th.
Building Blocks of Stagnation or Movement?
Full moon’s represent that which has been hidden is revealed. Whatever tendency or issue you were not aware of comes up for to notice. The Sun in Scorpio and Moon in Taurus are in opposite positions looking to harmonize with one another. So you can say that your conscious and subconscious is looking to harmonize with one another instead of being at odds with each other.
The Full Moon in Taurus brings our awareness to be within the body, or a full-bodied experience with whatever is arising. You may notice the stagnation sitting in the body somewhere. And the Sun in Scorpio brings focus towards intense emotions or feelings; how does it feel in the body? Do you value the body’s wisdom? How can you let go of something or someone you are attached to that no longer is for your highest good? Release the control. Surrender it, let it go so there is movement. Let new energy flow in. Feel it infusing the body with healing and restoration of peace. During this space emotions may feel highly sensitized or you may even feel a bit foggy during this full moon. If you feel agitated, take deep conscious breaths and let it out. Simply feel the body helping you to let go and ease into a state of feeling and relaxation. It is best to wait and contemplate rather than make decisions that have lasting implications. The mist lifts over the next week by second week of November.
Words Could Be Sharp as Tacs – Think before you speak.
If resentment from past issues has been simmering or boiling beneath the surface, it may erupt now. Forgive and surrender will be helpful keys right now. During the Full Moon in Taurus, Mercury and Mars adds a big dose to the entire energy and tone. Tensions and frustrations may be on an all time high. Mercury in Scorpio creates a tense friction aspect to Mars in Leo, watch the tongue because words may pierce the heart if they are not tempered with compassion. Use this combination to help you slow down and speak from the heart in an authentic way. Take this opportunity to learn not to bottle things up to such a degree that when you do communicate it slashes instead of conveys. Be sure you choose empowering and loving in your communications or actions during this time. Trust may be a factor that comes up. Trusting yourself to make a choice that is loving and of value to you that helps you grow and heal.
Give yourself plenty of breathing room, venting room and safe space to let out the bottled up frustrations, emotions and thoughts. It is best not to unload on someone but rather find another healthy outlet. Everyone will be sensitive to some degree especially that Neptune is in Direct motion today so do take care to be gentle and compassionate. If you have Flower Essences, they will help with the emotional state during this phase.
