Full Moon in Taurus: Embracing Comfort and Emotional Stability (11/15)
Full moons represent a culmination point—a moment when we reach a peak, whether positive or challenging. With this full moon in Taurus, many of us are likely experiencing a long-awaited, perhaps sudden, realization of our internal need for comfort, stability, and grounding in our physical senses.
This full moon brings a lot of cosmic energy. It’s trine to Pluto, conjunct Uranus, and its ruler, Venus, is in Capricorn. Additionally, Saturn is stationing direct on the same day. Let’s break down what all this might mean.
Venus in Capricorn: Motivation to Build Stability
This full moon’s ruler, Venus in Capricorn, is influencing us to get serious about creating comfort and stability. Internally, we may feel the drive to work hard, prioritize our needs, and structure our lives realistically. This energy pushes us to focus on what truly matters, cutting back on what doesn’t serve us, and motivating us to build a solid foundation.
Moon Conjunct Uranus: A Sudden Call for Change
With the moon conjunct Uranus, this need for change may come abruptly. You might feel it as a sudden jolt, like a lightning bolt in your body, a meaningful interaction, or thoughts that keep you up at night. In some way, you’ll likely come to a deep realization that something needs to shift for your emotional—and possibly physical—well-being.
Moon Trine Pluto: Moving Towards Healing
The moon’s trine to Pluto marks a significant phase in our healing journey. Pluto’s recent return to Capricorn on September 1st resurfaced old wounds, fears, and traumas that we thought were behind us. The intense Pluto-Mars opposition on November 3rd amplified these feelings, bringing forth protective instincts from a place we may have tried to ignore.
During this full moon on November 15th, Pluto will make its last contact with a planet before it permanently moves out of Capricorn on November 19th. This signifies a gradual but powerful release from past wounds, allowing us to finally heal. We’re reconnecting with what nourishes us emotionally, and learning how to self-soothe in ways that align with who we are now.
Saturn Direct: Moving Forward with Purpose
With Saturn going direct, we’re ready to advance toward our goals. The recent retrograde from June 29th to November 15th offered us a chance to reassess our work ethic, consider where we’ve been overextending ourselves, and decide what truly deserves our time and energy. Now, we can take these lessons forward, streamlining our focus to achieve what matters most.
Embracing the Full Moon’s Energy
This full moon is packed with transformative energy. It encourages us to get to work and build supportive, safe spaces in various areas of our lives. One of the best ways to honor this Taurus full moon is to connect with your senses. Treat yourself to comforting food, cozy up with a warm blanket, and spend time with loved ones—whether they’re human, feline, or canine. Take time to nurture yourself, paying attention to what you need.
If you have big goals, the full moon is a powerful time to set intentions and manifest your desires. Embrace this night with purpose, and in the morning, begin moving forward toward what you want to create. Just remember to align your actions with your own physical and mental well-being.
