The full moon in Taurus has some tension that could create eruptions both internally and externally, with a Scorpianic tinge to the moon we walk a fine line between freedom and control within our relationship with ourselves as well as others.

Venus is retrograde in Scorpio in the Libra moon she showed up with the imbalance, in Taurus, she shows up with where it is we are stuck and holding on.

With the Moon, the Sun opposing each other at 1° it makes for some very deep reflections as the sun shows us the outer world and the moon the inner.

By nature Taurus is peaceful, grounded and generally has a happy go lucky nature that can be the outward face of someone who's chewing over something deep; the essence of this sign and Libra is that they are both ruled by Venus, whilst she is retrograde in Scorpio and closer to the earth she highlights excesses and out of control issues within relationships.

Both Taurus and Libra like to keep the peace yet Taurus when roused to anger, well remember the old saying 'like a bull in a china shop' beware nothing much may be salvaged of the delicate china if the bull goes on the rampage!

Add to the heat of this the Sun, Moon, Venus and Uranus square the moon's nodes, both are which at the finishing degree's of Leo/Aquarius in preparation of moving into their new homes come November.

As I have mentioned before the early and late degrees of planets in signs hold huge masses of energy thus this is a tension-filled moon of yes, yet more transformation if you dare.

Taurus is sensual and loves the good things in life the downside is that it is a fixed sign, so whilst it helps us to earth ourselves it can also show us the stuck side of ourselves, with around 7 planets in fixed signs and so much closer planetary action you can see where the action and tension will arise.

Venus in Scorpio whilst she is retrograde is showing us yet more wounding of the feminine, issues around abuse, sexual issues, trauma etc will show up, in Taurus, they appear in the physical of the realm of our bodies as Taurus is an earthy sign and reflects in the form of matter.

Taurus also rules the throat, neck and vocal chords so our voice and how we feel heard or unheard may show up, the neck is related to rigidity, fear and judgement, so much of that comes from lack and fear that if we transmute these lesser energies we can again open up to some healthy communication. Mercury, by the way, will be residing in Scorpio at the time of this moon cycle.

Watch you need to control events, people and situations the fixed signs and Sun in Scorpio can muddy the fine line between control and freedom, again so often we are controlled through lack and fear so ask yourself what you are choosing and from it is you're choosing.

The mind, Mercury, is a very tricky beast that can also keep us fixated with patterns and programs that might look like free will on the outside yet when you delve deeper you will see they are actually holding patterns of old.

Watch the stubbornness too, digging your heels in won't necessarily create the change, it may also be a way of expressing something that you actually need to voice rather than remain stuck/fixated with.

The game changer is Uranus who is almost at 0° of Taurus preparing to enter Aries once again, with so much tension and the degree he is in watch out for yet more earth movement in the form of seismic activity. Remember, he's a maverick that always has a surprise as his calling card in Taurus it relates to all things material and earth, in Aries it will be back to some fire energy.

Uranus wants freedom and the Moon is close to Uranus creating some restless energy within us, the Moon rules our emotions and with it being so full we may need to burn off the excess energy in the form of movement or some creative expression that can help ease the uncertainty inside and out.

There is some relief at Mercury our messenger will trine Neptune a harmonious link that allows us to tap into some messages from deep within that can help reveal the heart of the matter that is creating the frustration. Mercury is also very close to Jupiter at the time of the full moon watching this as Jupiter expands everything so where you out your mind can blow up the whole thing, especially with Jupiter in Scorpio at its last degrees creating more tension ripe for some liberation.

There are lessons from the past that need to be embodied in this present time for us to move into our new way, daily we are seeing something in the media that is either waking us up or, dumbing us down, which do you choose?

The path to freedom has always been sought from the outside so many wars yet still we are bound, ever wondered why that is?

Deep within me, I see something that is coming to the surface time and time again, these are no ordinary times with so many planets aligning in such amazing ways our evolution has started and there is no stopping it be you a President, Prime Minister or the Pope.

The social movement that is people power is gaining momentum yet even here we must take a step back and address that which lies deep within us, things such as:

disempowerment
poverty consciousness
trauma
abused or abuser
control freak
sexual excesses/abuses
addictions
power struggles

These are but a few that can interweave and show up in many forms with many labels. As we navigate as a collective so too must we navigate as individuals only then will we really understand the relationship within vs our larger world and of course our planet, which by the way is shifting and will continue to do so until mother earth has birthed her new transformation.

We can continue to point fingers and blame or we can rise up and find the balance to regain our humanity and humbleness.

This Taurus moon will squeeze yet more out of us that is done and dusted and is no longer helping us to grow, come November we have yet more huge shifts occurring there are some sighs of relief yet I feel the Scorpio new moon in early November will be tailgating these moon cycles right now.

So use the next two weeks to shed the skins that are no longer fitting, personally, I've just had a massive detox on a physical level by being knocked out with some sort of virus, whilst in the lucid state I was able to release some stagnant energies that have literally created space in my lungs and throat, all of it was unexpected.

Every step of the way I've been challenged and have had to ask myself am I choosing out of love or fear and each step of the way I challenged my limiting beliefs that it has to be love, I can no longer continue creating out of fear.

The freedom I always sought was external, Chiron in Pisces, had me in some deep beliefs that I was the victim of circumstances when I waded, and still wade, through my minds belief systems I see where the victim was created.

Why do I share this?

I hope it helps you to realise that in doing this work it might often seem challenging and never-ending yet the rewards are limitless and depthless, even those of us who might stand in the light of facilitator must walk through the fires of transformation, in my book more so than others if we are to stand in integrity and not on old outdated modes of belief or ownership, as I learn daily what I know is a drop in the ocean and what I own is nothing.

Blessings for this moon take some time in nature, even just watching the trees and birds can be not only soothing, but it can also be deeply insightful.

I'll be back with more of Novembers transforming energies as October leads us through closure and setting new intentions November will charge us with yet more self-mastery so prepare yourselves

Namaste,
