Full Moon Partial Lunar Eclipse in Taurus - November 19, 2021

Changes are brewing as we near the end of Scorpio season with a Full Moon Partial Lunar Eclipse in Taurus. Eclipses are cyclical, compelling lunar events that activate the nodes of the Moon. Starting with this eclipse on the 19th, a new series of eclipses along the Taurus/Scorpio axis begins, accelerating changes over the next 6 months that will affect our sense of stability and security around resources and relationships. 

Taurus is Earth energy, solid, physical and rooted. Taurus is of the body and living through the senses. Comfort and consistency soothe Taurus energy. Seeking peace within and in the outer world, Taurus needs stable relationships, security in skills, healthy sensuality and connection with nature.

This extra powerful Full Moon opposition creates a tense awareness of necessary balance between the Sun in Scorpio’s need for depth, healing and transformation with the Moon in Taurus’s need for simplicity, silence and serenity.

Venus now in Capricorn is the ruler of this Moon. This planet of love and connection shines a beautiful light that radiates responsibility and integrity in our relationships and all that we value. Providing gracious cosmic assistance, Venus reminds us to always bring love to the table.

Mercury in Scorpio close to the Sun requires profound honesty in sometimes difficult conversations; with ourselves, with partners or other close relationships. Mars in Scorpio, close enough to Mercury to be felt, adds that edge of courage that can be relentless in pushing beyond boundaries into hidden feelings and issues.

This energy can become harsh, going deeper than this Taurus Moon is comfortable with, creating the potential for emotional shut down and silence. So be aware, especially during intense interactions with significant others.

The two main aspects to this Full Moon are a square to Jupiter in Aquarius and a trine to Pluto in Capricorn. Jupiter’s expansive nature and desire for a more unique future compels the Moon to release stubborn resistance to change and make worthy choices for greater authenticity and growth. 

Pluto’s powerful presence supports an honest assessment of where you are stuck in old patterns and choices that need release and what necessary changes will keep you focused and aligned with your personal mission or “great work

In the planetary background is Saturn in Aquarius in a loose square with both Mars in Scorpio opposite Uranus in Taurus. This exact opposition creates a tense dynamic with the passion and drive of Mars needing to dive deep and bring up hidden layers of truth, with Uranus’s action of changing our collective and personal ideas of stability, and support.

With emotional honesty that gets to the heart of the matter, needed breakthroughs in what has become monotonous and sluggish, whether in relationships, resources or other areas of life, creates the space for healthy adjustments or significant changes.

Saturn is again a point of challenge where desires may feel limited and sudden breakdowns can occur. However, Saturn can also be a point of growth and new possibilities in the midst of significant transitions through continued commitment and effort for a more authentic life.

This Lunar Eclipse will bring emotions to the surface, compelling us to release and clear away old energy patterns that have become stagnant and help us to access our higher purpose. As our heart grows in awareness, this energetic movement shifts our reality, providing the cosmic push that moves us to the next level of soul growth.
