On Saturday, October 31st, 2020 (7:49 AM PDT and 10:49 AM EDT) the Blue Moon glows in the aesthetically pleasing, secure, and peaceful sign of Taurus. We can see the Moon in its full brightness thanks to the Sun’s light that falls in Scorpio, the sign that thrives off intensity, lives in the depths, and is wired to penetrate to the core of all things. Taurus will ask you to slow down, to take your time, enjoy the moment, be still, and embrace the silence, while Scorpio will pull you deep into the moment so you know the truth about what is really happening. It’s certainly possible that this tension is highlighting some of the more practical issues in your life that are connected to your security and the things you most value. Since we’re also dealing with Scorpio territory be aware of how control, fear, and power want to creep in to the mix.

So what does this mean for this Full Moon? 

Let’s first address that Uranus, the planet known for its disruptions and unexpected shifts, is hanging out quite closely to this Full Moon. To be honest, these two planets couldn’t get too much closer if they tried. This means we’re likely to feel the Uranian energy shaking things up and pushing us to break free from the status quo, or maybe it’s opening us up to something new, or even pulling us away from following the crowd mentality so we can create our own path. Due to this alignment, there’s always the chance that we’ll encounter something that we didn’t see coming. Maybe there’s a loophole in a situation, or even something that surprises you to your core. Or maybe the thing that you thought was too impossible to change starts to come tumbling down. Or maybe you experience an incredible breakthrough. Of course these unexpected shifts could be something that makes you feel more alive and excited for life. Just be aware that some type of change is brewing, and you might not get too much notice before it occurs. 

The high expression of Uranus is to help us individuate. So do keep in mind that the disruptions and changes we experience now are really here to help us become more aligned with who we really are.This is so much easier said than done, because being the humans we are, we tend to like the things we’ve become attached to- such as our relationships, or situations, or the places that we reside. Yet what happens if these “things” no longer serve our evolution? Yep. Sometimes we need a little help to break free. So if you experience a shake up or a sudden change during this Full Moon, it might be exactly what you need. To know how this energy might impact you, we’d need to take a closer look at where this Full Moon falls in your chart.

Taurus likes life to be calm, steady, and secure, but the Uranian energy is pushing for some change. As I mentioned at the last New Moon, if we are caught in chaos, the calmest part of the storm is in the center. So this Taurus energy invites us to find our center, and it reminds us to tend to our body. Take a moment and consider: What grounds you? What helps you feel more centered? How can you slow down? How do you listen to silence? If you don’t know, try to listen to the sound a sunset makes as it breathes its last breath before dipping below the horizon. You’ll find your answer there.

So on this Full Moon and also the few weeks that follow, maybe it’s time for you to make a radical change in your life or to see how your comforts and the things that make you feel safe are actually costing you some of your freedom. Again, with this alignment don’t be surprised if what you’ve been standing on starts to feel like shifting sand. If it does, it’s also time for you to consider a new way to embrace what’s coming up for you. 

Lastly, the ruler of this Taurus Full Moon is Venus, and it’s currently in Libra, the sign that is ruled by Venus. This planet is known for beauty, peace, and love. While it’s not making any strong alignments to any of the other planetary bodies, it still carries a strong charge due to the rulership and it being in one of the signs it rules. So for this Full Moon, I’d suggest keeping it simple. Move towards what makes you feel at peace. Get out into nature. Take that nap. Sit in that hammock. Enjoy that juicy apple. Sit by the fire. Drink some tea and do the things that make you feel safe, balanced, and connected. If you stay honest and true about the simple things that you value most, there’s a good chance you’ll feel more prepared and ready for the changes that are moving through and around you. 

While we all might find ourselves caught between complexities and simplicities, and instability and security, 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.
