Moon-light
In this section, I spend more time diving into the cosmic tonality of this rare moon and what it might manifest on your way across the next two to four weeks.
November 19th will see the first lunar eclipse of a two-and-a-half-year eclipse series in the Taurus-Scorpio axis.
A new chapter of our collective and individual lives is about to begin and with this full moon in Taurus we will likely get a first taste of what is about to start in January 2022 when the lunar node shifts in Taurus. I will cover this topic more extensively towards the end of the year but since we have sun and moon in both signs, a quick starter won’t hurt anybody.
Taurus is about love, beauty, reproduction, sensual enjoyment, comfort, money, values, earth and simple pleasures…
Scorpio on the other side is about deep and complex emotions, intensity, compulsions, transformation, sexual sophistication and fusion, spiritual awakening, death and rebirth…
Both have to do with our sense of security, control, abundance, wealth and power.
After several lunations aspected by Mars and Uranus, most of us will have likely had to contend with an incredibly busy life, ongoing frustrations and a few extremely irritating unexpected twists and turns… For some the tension will have already built up to an unbearable level and exploded, for others the energy is still strong and difficult to manage on a daily basis.
November 17 will see Mars and Uranus facing each other and rather tightly square Saturn all in Fixed signs (Scorpio, Taurus and Aquarius)… this is EARTHQUAKE AND VOLCAN ERUPTION MATERIAL, LITERALLY AND FIGURATIVELY…
Not sure you read what happened in that prison in Ecuador when Mercury triggered the very same position Mars will be in but think for yourself, this was just chatty Mercury! Also note that this slaughter occurred just one month after a similar one during the Eris-Pluto square activated by the same Mercury… but it very much summarizes the period.
My advice: DO NOT ENGAGE and look for shelters!
Even if the next two weeks will see this situation improving, the days surrounding this full moon might well bring us one last real trial in 2021.
Yes, the Moon in Taurus will grant us the long-expected grounding moment we thought would never come again since we resumed our routines in August.
But even this oasis of relative peace will not be devoid of seemingly innocent traps.
Sun, Mercury and Mars are still in intense and emotional Scorpio, still frustrated and framed by Uranus, Jupiter and Saturn on both sides… quite the trigger-happy season, especially for those with planets or ascendant in fixed signs (Taurus, Leo, Scorpio and Aquarius).
The Moon is also trine Pluto, so even though some might benefit from the grounding effect of the Moon in Taurus and Venus in Capricorn, most should experience a very sensitive and extreme full moon enhancing our obsessions for material comfort, sensorial pleasures and material success.
The full moon in Taurus, against all odds, invites us to LOOK BEYOND OUR FIVE SENSES FOR A FEELING OF COMPLETION AND ABUNDANCE, BUT ALSO, AND MORE IMPORTANTLY, TO RESIST A CERTAIN NUMBER OF TEMPTATIONS.
With Venus in Capricorn focused on worldly achievements and a stronger sense of security, this might not be exactly easy.
Resist the temptation to burst. No matter how high your level of irritation and frustration is, try and avoid lashing out. Your opponent could be much stronger than you ever expected and you might find yourself alone on the path of impulsivity and violence.
Resist the temptation to run into excess. Once the pressure goes down, we may well try and compensate for this intense period with all sorts of pleasures. Moderation will be key as any excess might have much greater consequences than initially envisaged.
Resist the temptation to try greener pastures. If our urge to try and experience new things will not subside, the conditions will now be gathered for those to happen. Remember that the emotional intensity is still very strong, we will all start to relax, be charming and bath in a rather exceptional-for-the-year feel good moment. All the conditions will be gathered for affairs to flourish. Fantastic if you are single, but fearsome if you are already committed.
Resist the temptation to maintain the status quo. We live a time of profound and lasting changes and trying to keep things the way they once were is simply doomed to fail. As we approach the last Saturn-Uranus square of December 25 , we’ll still be under the influence of the Pluto-Eris squares and have little choice but to fold and adjust to the changing circumstances. Ignoring either your own needs or the needs of others will only yield further crises. Maintaining the illusion that everything is normal might well be a very costly illusion come February.
As you weather this last test, and transition to a more serene and enjoyable period, remember that other challenges are still to come, but that your behaviors today may well limit their number if you are clear on your values, stand by them, seek fulfilment, abundance and wealth beyond the material, are able to show gratefulness for what you already have and forgiveness to those who have hurt you.
If you struggle with obsessive or compulsive behaviors over the period, you still have time to acknowledge, heal and integrate your darker sides now. There might not be a higher priority than to deal with this prior to 2022. Listen to the universe in stillness. Meditate. Journal. Make your mental health a main priority with new, healthy solutions.
The next two years will bring a considerable cyclical transformation of our relationship with money, work, tangible goods, agriculture, food, shared resources, intimacy, sexuality, pleasure, comfort and sense of stability. A lot of which has been conditioned early and is now subconsciously defined.
Whatever happens, remember to MARK A PAUSE BETWEEN THE EMOTIONS that will be triggered AND THE REACTION or, better, the response you will opt for.
Your future might well depend on it.
May the light of wisdom and awakenings shine on your path to evolution
With compassion
