I'm struggling a little bit to write this blog today and may be one of the few to not be feeling the very good vibes of this full moon. To be quite honest, I'm just really tired. I've been very busy the last few weeks and not had a whole lot of time to myself or time to study the sky. I was unable to write last week because I was sick, but honestly, I didn't stress much about it because there really wasn't much going on in the cosmos. Now i have this powerful full moon taking place in my Taurus 12th house, my house of hidden emotions, rest and seclusion, dreams and creativity....and boy, today I need to do those things... I have the opportunity to do those things and yet, I feel pressure (put on by myself only) to write this blog and to stay regular with this thing. That's very Taurus, though, if I think about it, the whipcrack of my own conscience to keep going with things and to build something of substance. This week, there is a bunch going on, but I am just not fully with it so you are forewarned that this will likely not be my most magical writing.
Taurus Full Moon
This lovely full moon happens to be exalted, which means it's exceptionally happy in this sign, and takes place on Tuesday, November 12th at 19° Taurus. In the zodiac, Taurus is our standard raiser and teaches us that we deserve good things. It is not a snob, though it can be mistaken for one, but that's because it wants us to hold ourselves high and not sink beneath our worth. Taurus energy teaches us to understand abundance, our value in this life, and to want more for ourselves. It does so by simply being kind to us, by giving, and asking nothing in return. Taurus is loyal, gentle, good, steady, and unconditionally loving. This is because Taurus is our body, our human-ness, and is therefore forgiving of imperfections. Anytime there is prominent Taurus energy, I see it as the cosmic hug, the unexpected gift from nowhere, and an opportunity to level up in some way, to raise our standard, and be better than we have given ourselves credit before. I adore Taurus energy for the fact that it reminds me of my own high standards and keeps me accountable. It reminds me to keep steady at the things I care about and want to be better at, even just a little bit of effort per day makes a tangible difference. Wherever Taurus is in your chart is an area of steady growth and opportunity for you, but also forgiveness and understanding in this life.
Look back to the Taurus new moon in May, what did you begin? Taurus is a rich and fertile energy, feminine and of the earth. What seeds are planted under a Taurus moon, if tended, must grow and flourish. If you've been working away at something, this moon offers great reward for you and/or culmination of your efforts.
The last thing I will say about this moon is that it is most certainly a gateway, as it follows the 11/11 portal and is in trine to Saturn and Pluto in Capricorn. These are big help energies and if help is what you need, it will be yours. Ask and you shall receive, that's this Taurus moon. The trick is receiving, but that's a subject for another blog.
Tips for a Taurus Full Moon:
Meditate on your worth
Ruminate on something beautiful

Count your blessings
Give generously
Make time for leisure
Spend time in nature
Enjoy a decadent meal
Get in touch with your body and senses
-Taste your food
