This month’s Full Moon occurs at Six degrees of Taurus with its planetary ruler—Venus in a stressful opposition aspect to Uranus—the outer planet that signifies hurricanes. This Full Moon is also making an opposition aspect to Saturn at the MC point of the Full Moon horoscope which indicates government officials—most specifically presidents. Additionally, Mercury is currently in its shadow period before turning retrograde on November 7. Astrologically, these powerful aspects are pointing to unexpected Uranian and Mecurial disruptions that have the potential to affect the outcome and duration of the upcoming presidential election.
Individually, Full Moons illuminate the subconscious realms of the human psyche and highlight the areas symbolized by the zodiac signs and planetary aspects. Taurus represents the material and spiritual realms. From a material perspective it is the sign that correlates security with survival – what brings us security, or allows us to feel secure, will promote our survival. When the Moon is in Taurus, we can find ourselves wanting to enjoy and relax within the sensual and material realms that we have created. Spiritually, Taurus represents the divine and sacred mysteries. Taurus is ruled by the inner side of Venus marking this an auspicious time to turn inward and focus on one’s connection with self and the divine spark within.
As mentioned above—Venus is the ruling planet of Taurus and especially important for this month’s Full Moon because it is in an opposition point to the planet Uranus until November 21. Take this opportunity to question your intimate relationship dynamics. What do you truly value and how do you love others based on your values? Expect this period to bring about inner revelations about how you love yourself and love others. And, most importantly, focus on creating self-love and inner security, as the remainder of this year is sure to prove a potent test for those who believe that their security comes from external sources.
Lastly, Taurus is a feminine sign, and the Mayan elders tell us that during this final period of time during 2012 we must “Shift” our way of being from our minds to our hearts and cultivate loving relationships with the feminine, our inner self, one another and to our mother – GAIA. It is through love that the healing of ourselves, one another and our planet can occur.
The most terrifying thing is to accept oneself completely. –Carl Jung
