Super, Super Full Moon in Taurus, Mon 14th November, 2016

The Super Full Moon on Monday 14th November, 2016 is comfortable in Taurus. It is a Super, Super Full Moon, the closest it's been to the Earth since 1948 and the next Super Full Moon like this won't be until 2034. Although emotions and sensitivity can be heightened in the days leading up to a Full Moon, the energy of this Full Moon at 23 degrees Taurus should feel quite peaceful, more grounded and stable than usual Full Moons. Any revelations or insights are more likely to be about earthy Taurus related concerns like practicality, materialism, security, comfort and the simple things in life. As Taurus is a sensual, aesthetic sign people may feel more inclined to do things that involve food, creativity or anything that indulges the five senses. A walk in the crunchy, autumnal leaves followed by a hearty roast, buying soft furnishings for the home, baking, buying plants, luxuriating in a scented bath are just a few examples. Taurus, like Libra, is ruled by Venus the planet of love. The Rose is an associated flower with Taurus. So take time to stop and smell the roses during this powerful Full Moon in Taurus. Pluto in positive angle to this Full Moon could help us to understand our feelings more deeply and to strengthen bonds or revive relationships. Full Moons often bring closure and help us see things more clearly. So any lucidity gained can only be a good thing. According to astrology Susan Miller “This full Moon on 14th November will speak directly to you if your birthday falls on May 13th, plus or minus four days, or if you have your natal Moon in Taurus or a natal planet in Taurus, Virgo, Cancer, Scorpio or Pisces within five degree of 23 degrees in your birth chart.”

Full Moon in Scorpio Sun/3rd Mon 4th May in T- Square to Jupiter

Monday 4th May 4.42 am (UK time) the Moon is full in Scorpio. Whenever there is a full moon it means the moon is opposite the sun. As the Sun is in Taurus and the Moon is in Scorpio issues regarding material security versus emotional security, form versus transformation and what is tangible versus what is mystical may be relevant. Embrace the intensity of this Scorpio Moon and you could find passions rise. It is a sexy full Moon which can delve deep psychologically. The Full Moon like the New Moon can be a good time to look at 'intentions.' Rather than setting new ones as during the New Moon, the Full Moon can be good for letting go of anything that no longer serves you well or to release anything, IF you need to. Breakthroughs or revelations sometimes surface through dreams (or the unconscious) and as Pluto (Scorpio's ruler) is Retrograde releasing anything emotionally or psychologically should be even more cathartic.General restlessness, stronger emotions or heightened sensitivity or intuitive ability is likely with this Full Moon in water Scorpio. I read that Buddha was said to have been born during a Taurus Sun, Full Moon - this is known as the Wesak Moon when legend says Buddha's spirit returns to Earth once a year at the Wesak Valley of the Himalayas. Some people believe it is easier to tune into him or channel his energy at this time. This Full Moon is in a T-square to Jupiter in Leo so excess, over doing things or being over judgemental is possible. Be realistic when it comes to how you allot your time and to budgeting finances. Be aware this Scorpio Moon is in opposition to Mars on 4th May so heated arguments or angry outbursts are more likely. Later this week on Thurs 7th Venus enters Cancer until June 7th which should be felt as a more caring, sensitive, protective influence than Venus's recent time in Gemini that has been more sociable, restless, fickle, flirtatious and in the mood for variety.
