Taurus Full Moon

Our Full Moon this month is in Taurus, the sign of treasures and treasuries, of architecture and Australia. Always be mindful to review the exact placement of the Full Moon and its aspects in your personal charts to gain further understanding as to how these planetary energies will manifest on an individual level. The Full Moon is at 21 degrees of Taurus.

First, we have a t-square aspect; the Sun in Scorpio and the Moon in Taurus with Neptune in Aquarius. Fixed, t-square aspects create much rigidity and with the inclusion of Neptune, there could very well be a feeling of confusion, even disorientation, in the coming weeks. The public could perhaps feel it has been mislead in the recent election; we may hear news of something that may have gone awry during the course of the election. Rambunctious Mars is also in this equation being conjunct the Sun, opposite the Moon and also squaring Neptune. This could indicate, yet another sex scandal, political or otherwise, in the headlines, especially with Mars is in the very sexual sign of Scorpio. This configuration may also bring some very unsettled weather, we could hear news of sever flooding, another Tsunami, or the coming to pass of an oil spill in one of our Oceans.

Until September of 2009 we have the Saturn / Uranus opposition to contend with. Factored into this configuration we have the Moon forming a sextile to Uranus and a trine to Saturn, Jupiter forms a sextile to Uranus, a trine to the Moon and a trine to Saturn. These four points create a “kite” aspect; one with the potential of opportunity with ease. One of the many potentials the Saturn / Uranus aspects is to bring new awareness as to how we can structure our economy in a manner that is more stable; this Full Moon will bring to the surface new opportunities to do so. The Venus / Pluto conjunction at 29 degrees of Sagittarius, which was exact on November 12 at 12:52 AM, EST, brings a transition to relationships as well as to those material items we adorn. If our adulation of those items has been excessive, we may be strongly urged by the Universe to re-think our misplaced need for such embellishments.

The Full Moon formed an opposition to President-elect Obama’s mid-heaven, bringing fruition to that which he has endeavored towards during the past 18-months. My strongest advice as he begins his taunting task of commander-in-chief is for him to keep the highest level of honestly in all that he endeavors.

In the chart of the United States, transiting Jupiter in Capricorn and the Full Moon create a grand, Earth-trine with the U.S. natal Neptune in Virgo. This harmonious aspect indicates the ease we here in the United States have felt with the decline of fuel cost will certainly continue and in the coming weeks we will notice a further decline in the cost at the fuel pump.

Namaste.
