On Friday, November 15, 2024 at 1:28 PM PST & 4:28 PM EST, the moon glows in the sturdy, grounded, peaceful, and earthy sign of Taurus. It’s the final Supermoon of the year which will amplify our emotions, especially around Taurus themes such as: security, values, material resources, relationships, and finances. Since Scorpio is on the other end of this moon, we are likely to feel some intensity around these issues. We’ll need to determine what truly matters to us and what needs us to let go.

It's possible that some of your insecurities around worth will begin to surface. This could show up in your financial situation, your relationships, or with how you see and value yourself. This lunation is providing you an opportunity to face these fears and address what has been out of balance. Where are you struggling to feel safe? Where do you need to create more security? What would make you feel more rooted? What personal values have you been ignoring? What do you need to release to create more balance?

This Full Moon comes with some shaky energy. Taurus likes things to be predictable and stable, but Uranus, the planet of shake ups, changes, and breakthroughs, is cozying up real close to this Full Moon. The place where you’ve felt secure - whether in a partner, your work, your home life, or your resources is undergoing some massive changes. You might find that there’s some tension, particularly in your relationships. If your connection has been on rocky ground, you’ll likely find it’s starting to unravel. On the other hand, if your relationship feels strong or committed, you’ll probably need a little more extra time to yourself. This time away can be rejuvenating and refreshing. It might even help you see your relationship from an entirely new perspective.

Just to add to some of the challenging relationship energy present during this lunation, we find Mercury, the planet of communication and perception, making a tricky alignment to Saturn, the realistic planet of restrictions. It’s likely that conversations will take on a more serious and sobering tone. It would be helpful to speak your truth about any needs that aren’t being met. However, be careful about falling into worry, anxiety, or negative thinking about the situation. This will only bring out more frustration, disappointment, and anger. However, with Saturn turning direct it ends the retrograde journey it began earlier this year on June 29th. With Saturn turning direct today, we can implement and create the boundaries we need for our relationships we most value. Ultimately Saturn will be a stable force in this lunation and counter some of Uranus’s unsettling and unpredictable nature.

The good news is that Neptune, the mystical planet, is in a helpful alignment to this full moon. This supportive energy can help us remain flexible and adapt to the unexpected changes or unpredictable energy that comes across our path. Neptune’s presence will also help us drop into our more compassionate, empathic, and understanding self.

We are also still under the powerful influence of the Mars and Pluto opposition which will continue until mid 2025. During this lunation, it has weakened a little bit since Mars moved into Leo, but this just might mean we are feeling some slight irritation instead of the intense, edgy anger we felt a few weeks ago. We might still feel and know that something is off, but we can’t quite decipher what’s actually getting under our skin. Since Mars is in Leo, make sure you are finding ways to channel this irritation through some type of physical or creative activity.

We must also keep in mind that on November 25th Mercury retrograde begins and lasts until December 15th and on December 6th Mars Retrograde begins until February 23rd, 2025. Retrogrades are common, so there’s nothing to fear. With mercury Retrograde just take the usual precautions of reviewing important documents, slow down and pay attention to your words, back up any of your data, and give yourself more time with your travel plans in case there’s some delays. These three weeks of Mercury retrograde will allow us to reflect on our values, beliefs, and our philosophies about life. Be careful if you find yourself wanting to dig your heels in about what you think is right and wrong. It will be important to consider perspectives that differ from your own. With Mars Retrograde you might want to start considering how have you been holding in your emotions? Where have you not been expressing yourself? I’ll discuss more about Mars retrograde in future write ups.

Use this Full Moon energy to reflect on what feels unresolved from your past and pay attention to what’s been weighing on your heart more recently. If you start to feel unsteady with the changes that are taking place, find what grounds you and get honest with yourself about what you really need. You might also want to take time to really focus on what fills your heart and soul with joy.

While we all might find ourselves reflecting on these Taurus themes, we will each experience this lunar energy differently depending on where Taurus is located in your chart, or if you have a natal planet associated with it.
