The Full Moon in Taurus is exact (10 deg 28 mins) at 10.03pm ADST on Tuesday, 8 November 2022. However, the energy of the Full Moon can be called upon in the lead up to, and following the exact moment of the Full Moon for any rituals you wish to perform.
Now, when the Moon is 'Full' it means that the Sun and Moon are opposite each other in the sky. Astrologically, this means that while the Moon is in Taurus, the Sun is in Scorpio.
When things are in opposition, there is a level of tension; a kind of push-pull between two extremes.
So, with this full Moon, it is the opposing energies of keeping things more superficially the same/maintaining the staus quo (the Fixed Earth energy of Taurus) versus our need to dive deep into our most secret selves for release and renewal (the Fixed Water energy of Scorpio).
The Moon in Taurus is Exalted. This means that the Moon is very 'happy' in this sign - a bit like a delighted guest staying at their favourite holiday resort.
From this perspective, the Moon shines happily and kindly upon us, but we also have a Full Lunar Eclipse that can bring a sudden storm of energy to somewhat dampen and stir up its glowing, 'happy' energy.
The Full Lunar Eclipse will be visible in both Australia and New Zealand, and brings a catalytic type of energy that imposes life-altering and sudden change. This is not necessarily a bad thing depending on your outlook.
So, what does that mean for us?
Continuing from the deep reflection on what we needed to release and the setting of new intentions that started at the last New Moon in Scorpio, we come to this Full Moon in Taurus Lunar Eclipse.
This is where we have the opportunity to now take action around what we know and feel we need to release, and what steps we now need to take to start manifesting the intentions we set at the New Moon.
The energy of this Lunar Eclipse will be in effect for the next six months, so with the fixed energy of these opposing signs, it is about staying steady as you move forward maintaining those changes.
Yes, big changes may be imposed upon you unexpectedly, if you have not prepared or are aware of the implications of this full Lunar Eclipse, and therefore, it could well and truly throw you off balance.
But remember, the intense emotional energy of the Sun in Scorpio with the Full Moon energy, is still bringing in the need to dive deep and release long held memories and emotions, as Scorpio has a tendency to hold on and brood.
The opposition of the Sun in Taurus may give the sense that it is all too hard to make these changes and to happily maintain the seemingly happy status quo. Again, we have the push-pull energy of opposition.
Just a reminder that any Full Moon is a point of culmination - where things reach a peak. It is a time when the Moon is fully 'enlightened' as it completely reflects the light of the Sun, so the Moon's energy is also generally at its peak where emotions and awareness can more easily come to the surface, and with the Lunar Eclipse, it is even more powerful.
Generally, this Full Moon in Taurus is a time to review your finances and look at where you might want to release any negative spending habits that are especially activated by making emotional purchases to simply feel good. It will also help you to prepare for any unexpected outgoings, bills or financial issues that the Eclipse may bring.
It is also a good time to re-assess the personal values of your life, as well as your priorities.
Questions to ask yourself for this Full Moon in Taurus may include:
What are the big issues I need to address that I have been hiding from?
