This has been a month (really a year) filled with challenges and changes and this eclipse season sticks with the program. Astrologically full moons are times of culmination and release, an eclipse packs 10 times the power of a regular full moon and this lunation has a strong tie with Uranus, a planet that wakes up and shakes up the points he touches.
With this Taurus Full Moon, we should consider where we are comfortable; what makes us feel secure; what we value; and where we are held accountable. Is there a change occurring in any of these areas? What is no longer necessary here that we can release? By letting go of outdated ideas or thought patterns, we open ourselves to new possibilities and fresh opportunities. This Full Moon occurs conjunct the fixed star Algol, also known as Medusa’s head or the demon star. This star is often associated with emotionally intense experiences and cautions us to work through the changes occurring in our lives without ‘losing our head’.
Be prepared for relationships to shift around this time as well. The chart for the Eclipse has Venus in a trine to Uranus, which could bring us unexpected connections or benefits. Pay attention to who you meet round this day, especially if they are unusual or unique in some way. Mars is in opposition to Uranus in this chart and may inspire impulsive actions or rash decisions, try not to rush into anything though because there is a possibility it could blow up or break down in some way.
Work with the energy of this eclipse and be proactive in the change you bring into your life. If you can pay off debit at this time, or give items you no longer need to charity, find forgiveness in your heart and release painful memories, you may find this is a powerful time to clean the slate and start fresh.
The Taurus Full Moon occurs at 3:57 am EST on November 19th and is a partial lunar eclipse (although 97% of the moon will be covered in shadow so it will look close to complete) and visible weather permitting across North America on the night of November 18th into 19th beginning at 2:19 am through 5:47 am with the greatest portion of the moon in shadow at 4:03 am (all times EST) according to earthsky.org.
