One day, in retrospect, the years of struggle will strike you as the most beautiful.-Sigmund Freud
After the heavy immersion of Scorpio energies of recent days, we’re all in dire need of some grounding, Mother-Earth goodness. Enter … the full Moon in Taurus on November 6. With so much obsessive energy and emotional pressure to let go, the sweet and embodied polarity of trustworthy Taurus is just the thing to bring us back to our senses. We're still coming off of the potent Scorpio eclipse energy of October, and our bodies could be purging, detoxifying and struggling in their own unique ways as we struggle to embody that which nourishes and sustains us rather than tears us down or apart. We are purging the poisons and completing the finale of Saturn in Scorpio's lessons for 2014.
This Full Moon is screaming at us to slow down and listen. What’s the rush? Save your adrenals! Have we been neglecting our bodies? Failing to nourish our most basic needs because we are caught in an emotional whirlwind? This full Moon is working nicely with Mars and Pluto in Capricorn to help us reconnect with the long-term plans and get back into building mode. The current Mars-Pluto conjunction is definitely creating a pressure cooker energy and depending on where these two planets are hitting our natal charts, we may feel on the edge of our own war, dramatic ending or personal reconstruction project. We’ve been tearing down enough outworn structures and relationships in our lives over the past several months, so this is just like a heightened version of the energy we've all had to get accustomed to. The question now is how to balance the destruction with creative energies.
The seeds we planted last spring are reaching their peak expression and growth now. We’re seeing the fruits of our hard and sustained labor. We’re thinking about our value and what makes our lives more beautiful. We’re thinking about money and how to have more of it. We’re a bit obsessed with pleasure and our creature comforts now. Taurus is one of the most sensual signs in the zodiac, so use this time to get back into your body and linger in the perfection of a moment you adore getting stuck in.
Taurus will also reveal to us our habits and our ruts. Taurus does not want anything to change. It’s one of the most dependable and loyal signs in the zodiac. If the Scorpio energies have destroyed many aspects of your life, for better or worse, Taurus gives you the patience and the fortitude to rebuild. Taurus is ready to grow new gardens. Taurus never gives up on the quest to create more beauty in the world and in ourselves -- and neither should you.
