Full Moon in Reliable Taurus

  Welcome to today's Full Moon, culminating at 12:45pm; we could be in for a bumpy ride! It's an interesting time, with the Sun in Scorpio, conjunct retrograde Venus and the Moon in Taurus conjunct Uranus. There's a strong Venusian theme underlying this month (see sidebar) and now the Full Moon is highlighting  financial themes, with an opposition to Scorpio. Undercurrents... power... where are  the shake-ups occurring?!

   Why is this even more volatile than a normal Moon conjunct Uranus? Because the Sun in Scorpio, Moon and Uranus in Taurus, are exactly squaring the Nodes of the Moon in the other two Fixed signs, Leo and Aquarius!! That's a kind of destiny point that we'll be talking about for some time. The Moon rules the ebb and flow of emotions and a Full Moon in earthy Taurus shows the tide rising and falling with regard to our resources and financial picture. 

   This would be a good time to tighten our belts and avoid taking on more debt. Being realistic and adopting a wait-and-see attitude toward any new investments is crucial now. Expecting shake-ups in the world markets, as well as our personal finances would be wise. This is the theme of the last week in October and the first week of November. Remember, Jupiter is still in Scopio, until November 8th, making a Big Deal out of stored intense energy and hidden matters.

   With responsible Saturn making positive aspects to the Sun, Moon and Uranus, we have the opportunity... no, the necessity... to use our discipline and concentrate on what we need to focus on, without fear and without worry. Saturn has to do with limitation, which is the first step toward manifestation. If you want something on the material plane, you'd better be patient and willing to work for it. That's where we're at.

    Another aspect to consider in this Full Moon chart is the alignment of communicative Mercury with expansive Jupiter. Putting on your thinking caps and getting information for yourselves, instead of relying on the talking heads, is very important. Trust your gut, look into things affecting you and then use logic and reasoning, not emotion... to discern the best course of action for yourself.

   In the meantime, do what you can to make someone else feel better, because that'll make you feel better. And keep your head in the stars and your feet on the ground~
