November 15th, 2024: Full Moon in Taurus
Today’s Full Moon in Taurus is the culmination of a six month cycle that began with the New Moon in Taurus on May 7th. To understand the deeper impact of this full moon, it’s helpful to think back to what was initiated in your life during that time. Were there specific intentions or goals you set around May? It doesn’t have to be an intentional ritual, but try to think back to what was happening around this time, and any plans you may have made.
Seeds planted during that New Moon likely revolved around Taurus themes: stability, value, security, and personal worth. Now these themes are reaching a point of culmination, where we can finally see the full picture of what’s been building, and gain clarity on what needs to be released to move forward.
In May, this cycle opened under the influence of a Taurus stellium, including the following planets: Venus, Sun, Moon, Uranus, and Jupiter. This configuration likely sparked a desire for innovation and change, especially in areas tied to relationships, finances, personal values, and the learning or skills that support our sense of self-worth. Taurus is deeply connected to security and material foundations, and during the New Moon, it was challenged to break free from old ways of relating to these themes. This was likely a time of creativity and upheaval, laying the foundation to create a structure that allows for greater freedom, authenticity, and resilience.
As we approach this full moon, now it’s time to release and let go of beliefs or attachments that no longer serve our growth. With Taurus themes of self-worth, finances, and security in focus, this full moon challenges us to assess how well we’ve built a sense of stability in our relationships, career, and self-perception. This is an opportunity for self-examination. Have we learned to ground ourselves in self-worth, or are we still relying on external validation?
The full moons conjunction with Uranus is still amplifying this transformative energy from May. Uranus disrupts and shakes up what’s been stagnant, and pushes us to shed anything that restricts our growth and individuality. This might bring unexpected realizations, or the courage to break free from limiting beliefs around our own value. Uranus here isn’t about upheaval for its own sake; it’s about freeing us from constructs that have kept us feeling small, undervalued, or overly dependent on what others think.
We also have supportive aspects formed this time around. With a trine to Pluto in the last degree of Capricorn, and a sextile to Neptune in Pisces. Pluto provides a channel for constructive release and encourages us to confront the fears, insecurities, or control issues that have been obstacles to our growth. Neptune encourages softness, empathy, and forgiveness. It reminds us that healing and self-acceptance are part of transformation. This could look like releasing guilt or shame around financial decisions or letting go of self-judgment tied to past relationship patterns.
To understand where this full moon may be showing up most strongly in your life, take a look at which house Taurus occupies in your chart. This will point to the area of life that has been shifting and evolving over the past six months. For example, if Taurus rules your 2nd house, themes of finances, values, and self-worth have likely been in focus. If it rules your 7th house, these changes may be more relational, impacting how you approach partnerships and the balance of giving and receiving.
Those with personal planets or angles (Rising, Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus, or Mars) in Taurus, Leo, Scorpio, or Aquarius, and especially between 18 and 25 degrees, are likely to feel this influence the most. These individuals may experience heightened emotions, revelations, or a strong pull to resolve long-standing issues, particularly around security, control, and self-worth.
