Full Moon in Taurus

Sunday, October 25th @ 22:11 (MTN)

Happy Full Moon!

And happy Scorpio season. It’s the Hunter’s Full Moon, illuminating what action needs to be taken to feel at home in our bodies. Full Moons are times of release and closure. It’s times of saying good bye to what is no longer serving us, so that we can make space for what does. Full Moons shine light and understanding on the shadows of our minds, giving us strength to say good bye to what is familiar in order to welcome in the unknown.

This full moon is in grounded Taurus. Taurus is the sign of luxury. Bulls love to delight all the senses and move through life slowly, taking it all in. An earth sign, Taurus is practical and loyal, willing to play the long game towards their goals (and also can be very stubborn). Ruled by Venus, the planet of love and money, Taurus is deeply tied to these values. And Venus is currently in retrograde, asking us to check in where we can pour more love into ourselves. This full moon is asking us to re-evaluate our own beliefs surrounding our worth, beliefs about money (which is always tied to love), and anything that we are clutching onto too tight. What are we so scared of that it is hard to let go of? Check your own stubbornness. Think about the reason why we hang onto things that do not serve us.

This full moon is asking us to dive deep into our self worth. What is the scarcity energy that is surrounding us? What old story is living inside of us that can be released? A lot of our life is lived in repetition. When we feed old stories that live within us over and over again, feeding those same patterns, we don’t challenge it to be released. We are worthy of creating new stories to live inside us, to create new patterns, to create incredible self worth inside of us.

Consider how you can move about your life with more abundance. When we move through life without rush and are able to appreciate what surrounds us, we call in abundance. Channel the Taurus energy of delighting the senses and challenge yourself to slow down just a little bit. Marvel at how different your day feels when you do that.

The more we slow down, the more we connect with ourselves. The more that we can connect with our senses, the more that we can be present and be in the here and now. Being present helps us call in abundant and magnetic energy. And remember: energy feeds energy.

This full moon, shed what energy doesn’t serve you. If we are constantly living in the energy of stress, of scarcity, of wounds and triggers, we aren’t living in the new timeline that we can create. And we have the ability and power to create our present and our future.

Retrogrades might seem scary. A planet is in retrograde when it appears to be moving backwards. Mercury and Venus are both in retrograde, asking us to see where we can learn from. Listen to yourself. Learn from your past and don’t tie yourself to old patterns and versions. Welcome yourself in as you are now. Decide to meet yourself as who you are, right now.

ALIGNED ACTION

Spend a day where you delight in the senses. Wear clothes that are so comfortable and soft that you can’t stop touching them. Make sure your socks are comfortable. Wear a scent that you love, light a candle, or take the time to smell your coffee before you drink it. Eat a meal and truly marvel at all the tastes you are able to pick out. Chew slowly and deliciously. Marvel at the sound that surrounds us in our day to day. Hear the birds chirping, the leaves rustling, the sound of laughter from strangers, even cries from a child. Use it to marvel at the complexity and magic of life. Move through your day as if you had never seen anything before. Look in awe at your home. Appreciate the art that you see, the clothes you own, the way that the branch hangs by your window. Stare in wonder as you drive to work, notice people’s outfits and colors, pay attention to the way the sky changes throughout the day. And at the end of the day, notice how different you felt as you moved through the day a little slower, appreciating what is around you. Feel grateful for your ability to do this.

JOURNAL QUESTIONS

Out of all the senses, what is a sense I pay the least attention to?

Do I notice myself moving through life with scarcity or abundance?

What old pattern that lives inside of me am I ready to release?

as always, thank you for being here - and thank you to the Moon for always guiding us.

all the love,
