Hi. Hi. How are you? Hope you are well and having a nice start to the week. I am here to talk about the full moon that we have in Taurus, which will take place just after midnight on Thursday morning. Uh, the sixth. Uh, that it's 12:19 AM Australian Eastern Daylight Savings time, and the full moon will be in Taurus. There's a lot that's happening in November, and I'm not gonna touch on all of it, but I might just. Outline some of the movers and shakers. Uh,'cause there's an, there's just a lot of beauty in terms of the weaving and the dancing that's going on this month. It's, it's a strong month of astrology. There's a lot of action. There's always a lot of action, right? It's not like the soul system ever stops. But what I mean is there's, um, there's some strong players at hand and I, I'd actually love to start this by bringing your, drawing your mind back to the beginning of the year when we began 2025 in this very, very, uh, potent Mars retrograde. Mars is related to. Our will. It's related to our instincts, uh, our wants, our needs, our desires, how we take action towards those things. How we make moves in the world. It's, it's related to our intentionality. It's like the engine in the car. It's, it's what gets things moving and also has a lot to do with the direction that we're moving. In, uh, and so we had this Mars retrograde, let me find you the exact dates. It, it retrograded from December the seventh in Leo until, and then went direct. On the 24th of February in cancer. So it started its retrograde December last year in Leo, and then it moved back, retrograded back into cancer. Then went directing cancer in February 24th, and then moved all the way back through Leo, uh, until June 18. So a long time, a really long time. Six months. It was in two signs. It usually spends two months in one sign, but it sent spent six months in two signs going retrograde and then forward. And that Mars retrograde was, it was such, um, a hallmark. Uh, a, a Codex marking of this year for several years right now, uh, for several years, right now. For several years, there has been an onus, in my opinion, on sharpening our instincts as individuals. Our primal body instincts not. Talking about the mind, but what am I drawn towards? What am I, what do I feel like I wanna move away from? Like the animal part of ourselves is important now and will continue to be important in the coming years. That's all I need to say about that. But with this Mars retrograde, it was going. Where am I putting my energy? And in cancer or in Leo, it's like, is this, does this feel authentic to me? Like where I'm putting my life force, does this feel genuine? Is this feeding my vitality the direction of my life, the action that I'm taking in particular areas? Is this feeding me? And then as it went through cancer, it's like, well, what am my, what's my emotion about, like, what, what's my intuition about this in, in my inner world? Does this feel true to me? Uh, the reason that I'm bringing that up is because for the last several weeks, a couple of weeks, we've had this Mars Lilith conjunction in Scorpio, and until Thursday last week, we also had mercury in that mix, and that's very, very potent Mars in Scorpio. Conjunct Lilith is not. Playing around is not dancing in a realm of shoulds. Mars Lilith together, uh, in the realm of the underground, the underworld, uh, the depths of the self, everything that's deeply hidden, often from ourselves as well. If, if we are, we're still operating in a realm of shoulds and superficial. Moves, then likely there's been a gurgling, uh, within our psyche would be one way of saying it. And there, there will have been some fire, some deep fire coming out. We've really seen over the last couple of weeks, uh, some incredible fire and savagery. Uh. Coming to coming to popular culture. Um, here I'm referencing the new Lilly Allen album, and while I'm not really a a pop lady myself, I was really interested to hear about. To listen to the album and then to hear about what it it was about and how it was about her marriage, how it was about all of these things that are usually very, very private, which is the domain of Scorpio. It is everything that's taboo, everything that's hidden for better and for worse. And that includes the hectic power plays that can go on between individuals behind closed doors and here like. Like a phoenix rising this, like, there's no way that an astrologer didn't help in the timing of this release. It came out the second day of Scorpio with this Mars Mercury Lilith conjunction in Scorpio. Um, like it is, it is genuinely that energy for somebody to eviscerate somebody so sharply. Uh. Uh, but also artfully, uh. Around things that we, we would never usually discuss in a public sphere is, uh, I just, I have high praise for it and I really think it's telling of the times that we're in, this is very much a Pluto and Aquarius thing, which is so much to do with power plays, hierarchy, baloney, and needing to have very public discourse about power. Um, if you want to. Know my take on that more than listen to my Pluto and Aquarius episode, because I talk about that a lot. It's something that really, really fascinates me and interests me a lot because this is so much of, in my opinion, this is so important in terms of the future. We don't want to be replicating the same abuses of power and power hierarchy and just handing. Having it being dispersed to another group, we wanna have collective conversations about what this stuff is. Why do certain individuals feel such a dark need to be in a place of control over their partners, for example. Anyway, I could talk about that forever. Uh, and I won't. So point being, there's a lot of this. Mars energy that's been lurking, and it's giving you access to a much deeper, uh, powerful, uh, navigation system that is your own, you know, and it, again, this is not a, this is not a surface dwelling. Uh. Arena that I'm talking about. These aren't players that, that dance on the surface. This is the deepest desires, like the real reasons, not shoulds. Uh, so that's around right. And so we are going to have this full moon in Taurus, which is highlighting this bridge of security with the sun in Scorpio and the Full Moon in Taurus. So we're illuminating the less mature expressions of Taurus, which is, and this is always a strong full moon in my opinion, because we're here, we're looking at our security. We're looking at like primal security. My belongings, the roof over my head, the acorns that I have or don't have in the bank. Um, so security is so pri primal. You know, obviously, uh, in developmental psychology, Taurus is the stage where the baby begins to identify things. Or the infant, um, toddler begins to identify the things that belong to it. So it might be it's dummy or pacifier and it's, it's when you hear, start to hear a child say, mine, that's mine. This is, this is to energy. At least this is like, again, a primal expression of, to energy. It will utilize the material world to regulate itself. So this is where we may notice if we are feeling out of sorts, if we're dancing on the edge of the unknown and feeling, um, unsafe. This is where we may reach for chocolate. This is where we may go on the internet and buy ourselves X, Y, Z, or. Uh, knock ourselves out with scrolling and like building a card of all the things that we're gonna buy. You know, again, it, it will utilize the material. Aspect of the world, like material goods, food to satiate itself and to to feel safe again. Um, which is like unbelievably fascinating and. I have 100% been an emotional eater in the past. Um, and like I really deeply resonate with this aspect. Also love to buy myself presents and as I've said here before, like I have Chiron in TAUs, so if I notice that there's a lot of presence being bought for oneself or, or I'm having that pull to do that, I am always checking in with myself, like, how can I find that? Uh, inner safety in a way that has nothing to do with material goods. Um, what do, what do I need to look at, which is the scorpion element, right? What do I need to turn around and look at rather than avoid and chase something that's outside of myself to satiate myself? So this is, this is part of the theme of this week, and. You know, full moons, new moons and Scorpio. I find, I find it in all of the water signs, uh, honestly, but I always, yeah, there, there's a lot of juju behind these full moons and, and the new moon here in Scorpio. So you'll, we'll really be, we'll, really. Depending on you, and you'll know if, if you feel this pre, during, or post a full moon, but this is one of those ones where you may notice it and feel it build up, you know, really for a Monday onwards. If it's very late Wednesday night, you know, midnight, uh, on the Thursday. So yeah. So that's happening. Uh, and so we're really able to see is there any, like, what are, what are my security blankets? How do I self-soothe? How do I satiate my desire energy to bring it back to Mars? Pleasure is a lot to do with Taurus, as you likely know by now, and we can really see where. Um, when that more sexual desire or desire to, um, whenever that desire energy is thwarted, it doesn't cease to exist. It may come out as, uh, gorging on other pleasures like gorging on food or again, whatever the thing is. So we want to notice. Yeah, how? How do we regulate ourselves? And it's not necessarily about doing somebody's program or whatever. I just mean tuning in with yourself. What do you do when you feel unsafe in your body? How do you regain a level of safety within yourself? Um, and, and if you're able to write that out and, and analyze it and observe it over the coming days, if it, if it comes to the foreground, what is a mature expression and what is an immature expression of that? You, you, you'll likely have both running simultaneously, you know? Um, and sometimes our security blankets can really. Our comfort zone can really have us in a choke hold. And we, we've kind of, we haven't even noticed. And then it gets to a point and it's like, Ugh, now I have these habits, or whatever the thing is. So this is a full moon to really bring that, that, uh, deep. In like congruent energy that, that energetic read of, am I all lining up here? Does this all stack up? You know, my values with my actions, uh. The way that I want to treat myself with the way that I am treating myself, you know, all of these things, congruent or not, do I have myself in a choke hold? Uh, because that sort of psychological x-ray vision of the sun in Scorpio, consciousness in Scorpio will be broadcasting through your emotional, uh. Realm, anything that the, the, to energy needs to show you? Uh, yeah, that's it. Uh, so what's interesting about this, yes, that's the other point that I had. So Mars has moved into SAG was just about to. And for this full moon Mercury, which is already in Sag and Mars will be conjunct each other. Now this is really interesting because either you'll have a lot to say or a lot to express. This is. In a fire sign, Sagittarius. So Mercury and Mars want it. It wants to be moved through the body or, or verbalized. Uh, and then because it's sag, SAG has a lot to do with what is meaningful within my life. So we'll, we'll be able to see, uh, is the action that I'm taking in my life. Meaningful. It's that, that's why I, I wanted to begin by looking at the start of the year for you because we're seeing this come up now. It's coming back into the foreground of our psyche. And this is gonna be interesting because come November 10, uh, and I'll speak more about this next week'cause this is a very interesting. Mercury retrograde in my opinion. Uh, on November 10, we're going to have the Mercury, mercury retrograde in Sagittarius. So we are going to, that Mercury is going to move back over the imprint that it was in for this full moon. Um, and then yeah, move back. Move back into Scorpio. And go back over Lilith again. I'll give you the dates and everything next week. Uh, and then eventually it will move forward again. It will move forward over the imprint of the lith energy and then over the imprint of where that Mars Mercury conjunction was as of the full Moon on Thursday. So just again, as, as ever, you don't really need to do any sort of. Um, sweaty work to, to crack the case of what this full moon is for you. Outside of having the space, clearing your field regularly, getting rid of the space junk, um, daily, having a level of energetic hygiene, having enough space within your day to be with yourself so that you can notice. You're in a world, and if you have that, then these things really play out. And the more familiar you get with astrology, the more you see these characters, these archetypes, uh, or, or these planets play out through the flavor of these signs. It's, it's unbelievable. Um, it doesn't cease to amaze me like 13 plus years into this. Um. So there's that. The other thing that I, I just wanted to touch on was on the 8th of November, Uranus will move back into Taurus. And that's really interesting timing too, right? Because for this full Moon, Uranus is still in Gemini, the liberator. Then just, what is it, three days after this full moon, the liberator moves back into Taurus for its final. I think it's like three month stint. So that's interesting. It's like we'll really be able to have this final observation of, okay, what are my habits? What are the rituals? How am I taking care of myself in a way that is genuinely taking care of myself? You know, this is, this is Taurus. This is Venus who's built her own throne and who, uh, practically shows herself her worth and value through how she tends to herself, through what she allows in and does not allow into her world in terms of her own boundaries and her own habits, as well as, um, the behaviors of other people, let's say. So, uh, so we'll get to see this, we'll get to have this reflection, all of us as individuals. Is there anything that I need to see here? And then three days later, as if on cue Uranus, the great liberator will move back into this tor energy and give us that, um, eagle eye, POV. Any sort of patterning that that sort of needs to come to the foreground or we'll just be able to liberate these, these things that felt like a choke hold. You know, to me, Uranus is always that sense of like the Paul Paul Bowles quote, um, which I'm gonna butcher. But you know, it's like if there's a cage, if you realize that your life in some way or a habit or whatever it is, has become a cage, then. The Uranian energy is like, Hey bud, there's, there's also this door here, and here's the key. Hey, you, you can step out of this. Like we have a, we have so much power as individuals, as, as the people that are tending to us. Um, as, as the person who is shepherding yourself. Um, yeah. So, uh, there's a lot happening. Uranus is gonna come into the mix again when we have the new moon later this month. So, yeah, in, in closing, full Moon, very late Wednesday night, first hours of Thursday morning here in Taurus. The x-ray elevated vision of Scorpio, the all seer. Is looking down at really at our, our relationship to our worth and value. And then on another level, our relationship to the material world. Um, how do we satiate ourselves? How do we take care of ourselves? How do we hold ourselves, um, as these venusian goddesses and legends atop the thrones of our own making? What do we need to see here? And again, this is the ability to hold space for anything that might feel shameful or heavy or dark. You know, how can you bring that into the light? Um, for me it's always like humor and it's always like sharing it, you know, doing the work with myself, riding it out. Even maybe verbalizing it aloud, but then it's, it's often bringing it, well, bringing it to Fiona, my therapist, or bringing it into conversation with friends. You know, it's like that obliterates the shame. Shame is, shame is this energy that keeps it hidden. Uh, but when you bring it out, when you use your voice or your hand to ride it out, there's, oh, it just does not have a choke hold. Um, then three days later, the liberator walks back into this fixed kind of concrete energy of Taurus and is like, Hey, what needs to, what needs to, what plates need spinning? What plates need smashing on the ground? Like, let's make some moves, you know? Let's do some stuff. Let's play. Um, what do you want it to be like here? You know, we, we can bring in these vast different POVs, like with just lightning bolt. Like, uh, you know, they, they just come, yeah, lightning bolt realizations. Um, and then. On the 10th again, I'm gonna get into this one. We will begin the final Mercury retrograde of the year, which starts, yeah, November 10th, uh, at six degrees of Sagittarius. It will end on the 30th of November at 20 degrees of Scorpio. And would you believe the New Moon in Scorpio will also be at 20 degrees? Uh, so yeah, more to tell about that puzzle, but as it unfolds, hope you all have a fab. You'll find I've, I've put up the final reading slots, one-to-one with me for this year. So if you do really want to deeply understand yourself through this lens, not just on this sort of piecing together level, um, or app level, but to have an astrology who, you know, my job is to. Bring context and to weave all these parts of you together. If you wanna have that experience, then I would have a look at the dates because they will go quickly. Uh, the wait list is open. It's been open for a while, but the wait list is open for astrology school. There's well over 300 people in that wait list, and I will cap the amount of students that I have in this round. At probably 40. I'm just sitting with that at the moment. Um, and that's gonna start early Feb. So if you're on the wait list, you'll get first dibs and there's always an early bird special that you can only access on the wait, wait list. Uh, you will not be bombarded. A huge series of emails, just artfully curated ones. Um, and what else? Oh, and on the sixth December the sixth, which is a Saturday in the morning, my time, uh, will be the astrology of 2026 class, and you can grab tickets to that. Below that's gonna be fab. I'm, I'm, you know, again, I'm an optimist and I'm, I'm really excited about some of the transits that are happening next year. They just feel so necessary and I can already see so much of it playing out, actually just in the last couple of weeks since I finished writing and researching it. And that could purely be bias confirmation, but part of what I'm gonna be talking to you about is authenticity. And no longer playing to the crowd, and I'll explain the astrology of that. If you want to then have the astrology of next year discussed with regards to your chart, then you'll find a link for that as well. There I, I'll release. Um, probably two series of 10 blocks of mini readings where you'll get a ticket to the workshop and, uh, I will do a mini reading for you where I'll look at how the astrology of next year and where the astrology of next year is playing out specific to your chart and they go like hotcakes. Um, so yeah. You have first dibs here on the podcast. I won't announce that till later this week. Hope you have a great one and we'll talk all things. Uh, mercury retrograde next week. Um, I'm already seeing this in a, in with my tech and a lot of the time I don't experiencing them through the tech. We are in the shadow stage, so I just wanted to mention that because I feel like tech internet may. Uh, be a thing. Okay. Goodbye. I.
