Hi. We have a great full moon coming up later this week. If you're in Australia, it will be exact on Saturday morning at around about eight 30, which will be, if you're in Europe, Friday evening, if you're in America, Friday, Arvo ish. With a full moon is the kind of thing that you really feel the approach of, or the vast majority of people that I speak to, and certainly for myself, feel the approach of a full moon. I also know some people who really feel it take place during the full moon period. After it's been exact, but a lot of the time it's the approach of the thing where it's this buildup of tension or the storyline plays out that perfectly resonates with the archetypal energies at play. At least that's always been the case for me. And I'm not sure if that's because I'm an astrologer and my job is essentially to translate these things to my community. So I have the experience first and then I see how it's playing out around me and I translate it and communicate it to all of you. This is an interesting one because Uranus The ruler of Aquarius will also be conjunct the moon. So the moon is at 24 degrees of Taurus. The sun will be exactly opposite at 24 degrees of Scorpio. And then Uranus will be here at 25 degrees of Taurus. So that's a conjunction. They're aligned, the moon and Uranus in the sky. That's very, very strong. And I really like that because we're in Scorpio season, which is this psychological, energetic, x ray vision. We bring analysis to the emotional landscape. We're able to see patterns, behavioral patterns, what's in our shadow, unconscious aspects of the self. Such fertile energy. And then Taurus. With the moon here, in an Earth sign, there is a level of groundedness. And with Uranus here, to me that feels very clay cognizant. Well, it is claircognizance, meaning this is a time period where you may receive a lot of, like, flashes of insight versus them being necessarily very emotional experiences. Again, it really depends on how you receive your intel, which is really based off of your own chart. You know, what are you intuitively dominant in? However, this feels like a very claircognizant moon. It's what's heightened. Uranus. Aquarius are like the eagles that are flying above the terrain. So their viewpoint is a topographical one, meaning it's taking in a lot more of the landscape than you are when you're right in the ground, right in the experience of this very moment. When you're flying above it, it's very easy to see patterns in your own maps. In your own storylines, you're able to see the storyline a lot more than you are when you are living it in the here and now in your physical body. So this is something that I personally will be utilizing and calling on as we approach this full moon, because for me, I have Chiron living in Taurus, and this full moon The moon and Uranus will be within 10 degrees of my Chiron. So part of what it will bring to the foreground is anything that I need to see here in terms of how I still may be working with or utilizing or expressing my Chiron in a way that is unconscious or limiting me. And for some of you, Taurus will be a strong archetype, and this may be a strong moon. For others, it may pass you by. What makes it a strong archetype is if you have a lot of Scorpio, so this is the opposing force, Taurus, or if you have planets here in Taurus, or it's on one of the angles, especially the IC down the bottom of the chart, or on your ascendant. The moon, the full moon. is bringing the spotlight of consciousness again, which is here in Scorpio and directing it precisely onto the unconscious elements of Taurus, which is many things. Developmentally, Taurus is the period where A child first begins to own their things, you know, it's when we start to hear kids say, that's mine, mine, mine, mine, you know, it's like my dummy, my mummy, my toy, whatever it might be. There's a sense of possession. And there's a sense of security that comes from ownership of things outside of the self. Fast forward decades and you could see how this could play out in a very unconscious way, which looks like hoarding. We could say emotional eating. You know, when Taurus feels like it is in unfamiliar territory, and it doesn't feel safe, like body safe, this is an energy which can reach for food. This is an energy which can reach for buying lots of presents for yourself. It will utilize the material world, physical things, to anchor and ground itself. Not the best use of the energy, but you can see how, I mean, I feel like we all do that, I certainly do that. I have Chiron here, so this is how I know when my Chiron's activated. If I start eating my feelings a lot, and there's a lot to eat, or I'm buying myself a lot of presents, Then it's the first indication for me that I need to check in. What's going on here? What's been activated? How can I bring a sense of safety to myself in my inner world? Versus reaching outside of myself into the material. This is also the realm where we see possession taking place in relationship and also the comfort zone. We get to see the boundaries of Of our own comfort zone. Which may become apparent during this full moon, or as we approach it. These are some of the things that you can keep an eye on. To me, this is something that plays out a lot, or I see a lot, and I've certainly experienced where you know when a personal relationship has reached a use by date. And It's familiar and it's known and there's a level of safety in that so even if you may not be Getting everything that you want from the experience or whatever it is You stay in it way past its use by date because of its familiarity because it's seems medicinal versus leaping into the great expanse of the unknown. And I think that there's what this bridge or this axis, this opposition between Scorpio and Taurus offers us, especially from the standpoint of a Taurus moon, is we're building the resiliency of our own self worth and value applied to scenarios, meaning I'm sure you've all had experiences where you've walked through a metaphorical fire and you've come out the other end of it, stronger, as a result. I'm sure we've all had a breakup. That's always a very good example. It feels so uncomfortable. We may get obsessive in our mind. ruminating on everything or wanting or needing them back, whatever it is. And then at a certain point we have to move forward into the unknown and we're shepherding ourselves through that experience. These are these incredible personal initiations that show us who we are and this opposition as well, you know, if Taurus is the hoarder. Then the higher expression of Scorpio is saying to that hoarder, go and get everything that you've just bought to get this short term sense of security that lives outside of yourself and take it out into your backyard, make a bonfire out of it, throw flames on it, and then I want you to walk through it so that you know all you need is this strength, the personal power, uh, The resiliency, the fortitude of yourself, which isn't to say that that's my prescription to you. I don't want you to walk through any literal fires, definitely not, but I deeply hope that you've all walked through metaphorical ones. Jung speaks a lot about individuation, this process of really a personal initiations where you become whole. Or, you enact more of your wholeness, and that requires, yeah, strong personal initiations. Bungee jumping way over the edge of your own comfort zone. And at first you may not know that there's a bungee jump attached to your feet. You're just free falling. And then you come back up. Or you make new grounds. You expand the width, the breadth, the heights. Of what lives within your comfort zone. And the comfort zone is a very important thing. It's where there is safety. It's where our body is able to relax because our nervous system is able to relax. If you lived all of the time out of your comfort zone, you would be in extended states of fight or flight, and it would be terrible. It would lead to things like burnout. The comfort zone is there for a reason. What I'm suggesting is. One way to utilize this full moon is to map the terrain of what is in that zone. And is there anything in your life that you're holding on to so tightly and all of your focus is on this thing that you're holding on to so tightly that you have missed the expanse of life and the terrain that lives outside of this thing that you're holding on to. And I'm sure we've all had those experiences. I certainly have. Scorpio here brings with it a level of Well, its magnetism comes from its fierceness, its fearlessness. But it's a fearlessness that is earned. It's not cocksure. It's true. It's the fearlessness that And the resiliency that comes from walking through personal initiations. It's not a conceptual thing. You know, you can't reach individuation. You can't really know yourself if you've just read about it in a book. And again, like this is an earth moon. It's very much related to our material and financial. security. It's very much related to, I would say security in relationship or security that comes through things outside of the self, which really there's never full security in those things, right? The scorpionic energy is like, yes, it exists within. I would look at, is there anything out there, especially as we begin to cast our eyes Towards this next year, what do I want to bring in to my life? What feeling states do I want to bring in? What adventures do I want to bring in? It might be love, it might be travel, whatever it is. Looking at, okay, what's, what is my terrain and how can I expand this? Taurus is also where we experience this sense of scarcity or abundance. Scarcity being this sense of there are limited resources, I must be in possession of these things, I must hold on to them. Abundance being more of a limitless perspective. Again, I think both of these things, the limitless, the abundance, comes from healthy, strong initiatory experiences from your own life. You know, showing yourself what you're capable of. Taurus has a lot to do with our relationship with our self worth and our self value, but not in any kind of conceptual intellectual reign. This is earth energy. It's show me that you value me. Show me how you value me. Show me how you have. My own back, you know, it's it's practical. It's practical application So yeah, it's a juicy moon. Again, I'd ask for the insights. That's what I'll be doing, especially again, because my Chiron is there. What do I need to see? Show me the insights. Something that I see a visual of a lot is, it's like, where, are there glass domes? self created. Or yeah, sure, conditioned or societal domes that are above me. Um, yeah. I want to see all of those things so I can obliterate all of them. That's one of the things that I just, I think about and I see a lot. So for me, it's like, okay, show me, send me the insights, show me the experiences this week that give me a real awareness of what requires my focus and my attention so that I can alchemize more of this beautiful Taurean archetype into its most conscious form, which is the earth version of Venus. And she is this story of Aphrodite, who, after a very weird conception story, came from the ocean fully formed, no conditioning, no childhood, no mother, and I guess more of a concept of father, but fully formed in adulthood from the get go, only ever emitting her own frequency. That's this gorgeous, obstacle course that we're all navigating to get back to a sense of that wholeness, that fullness of self. I had a post a while ago on something that I think about when I'm at a crossroads. It's like, well, what would Venus do here? What would be her recommendation? Cause I don't think she puts up with any silly business and she holds herself to a wonderful standard very naturally. a lot of us. are growing into what that standard looks and feels like with ourselves. And then the work is having to hold ourselves there. And if you're holding on so tightly to things that you're missing the experience, the fullness of your life, then I wish you the psychological fearlessness and strength to Bungee jump off the edge and see what you find in the mysteries in the expanse in the unknown of what your life can be and can look like. In other news, I'll be holding my annual astrology forecast for the year ahead. So we'll be looking at this incredible astrology of 2025. unbelievable astrology.
