Awaken – October Full Moon in Taurus
The energy of this weeks Full moon serves as a catalyst to awaken our true life passions and urge us to walk authentically in the direction of our life purpose.
As October nears the last and final week of the month we have the Taurus full moon, just a day after entering Scorpio season. This means the sun has just recently moved into the sign of Scorpio and the Moon is its fullest in the opposite sign of Taurus. The key words for the sign of Taurus is “I Have” while the keywords for Scorpio is “I Create”, and this is exactly the meeting point that the full moon this month has us focusing on – the midpoint between us having what we desire the most and the process of creating that reality we wish to embody.
The moon’s placement in Taurus is strong, this is where the moon feels the most safe, secure, and most taken care of. The only problem with “safe”, “stable” and “comfortable” is that these energies could have the possibility to lead us to a state of complacency and stagnation. Grant it, being a Taurus moon, I am well aware of the tendency to linger too long in a state I like to consider my “wellness retreat mode”. And while I’ll never say that taking time to smell the roses is a waste of time (Taurus moon!) the polar energy of Scorpio is here to remind us that there is still more to examine and more to “create” especially if we have dreams that are waiting to made into reality.
And Then Insert Uranus
Who does the moon find at its side but Uranus – the planet of sudden epiphanies and rude awakenings, who helps to awaken and shake up this very otherwise “stable” energy of Taurus. Uranus is the “Great Awakener” often coming in like a bat out of hell to herald in some grand idea or theory of a new way of doing things that years ago we might of thought was wonkers. He is innovative, the Minister of change and reformation, Rebel of the status quo, and comes in with a very liberating and life changing energy that would save us all from stagnation and help us experience the next level – he is the planet that propels the evolution of humanity.
Uranus coupled with the moon this month is going to give us the courage to do things differently, believe in ourselves and our dreams regardless of what the worlds “status quo” or “work 9-5, retire at 65” plan they brainwash us into believing. This is soul changing, empowering energy, emotional freedom to be and believe is what Uranus and the Moon this month want to implant in our hearts.
Tipping the Scale
Full moons are like a two sides of a scale, giving us two energies in which to contemplate on. Opposite of the empowering Uranus/Moon energy is Venus Retrograde and the Sun in Scorpio. The Sun in Scorpio will have us look deeper at our shadow sides and compel us to face our fears and insecurities and help us find integration between the two in order to come out transformed revitalized spiritual beings. This energy is coupled with Venus retrograde which is still having us evaluate and revisit areas of love, money and finances.
Guiding us to our True North
All of this energy is in hard aspect with the North node in Leo which is urging us to become our best selves, and not just love ourselves but believe we are deserving of love and admiration from others. Being in hard aspect means we will feel pressure to move towards our destiny and life purpose during this time.
To sum things up – this Taurus Full Moon is saying its time to shake things up internally – move out of your comfort zone and release any fears that may be surrounding your identity and who you choose to be, let go of fears surrounding the goals and ambitions that light your soul on fire. Life is too short to worry about what others think or believe if you yourself are not happy and truly satisfied. After a while “safe” and “comfortable” feels more like “stagnation” and ignoring your passion can feel like prison walls built around your soul. Most often what people deem the most “safe”, “stable”, “normal” or “traditional” will also lack the excitement that we all internally crave and daring to be different will be the elixir that will light up your eyes and set your soul a lit. This full moon is a reminder to us to stop and affirm to yourself that you can create the life you dream of, and your dreams are possible.
