Full Moons are a cycle of culmination, release and completion, and form at the peak of the Sun / Moon cycle. So, if you have any personal planets (Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus and/or Mars) or angles (particularly the ‘cross of matter’ – ASC/DSC (1/7 house cusps) and IC/MC (4/10 house cusps) between around 0 – 6 degrees of the Fixed signs (Taurus, Leo, Scorpio, Aquarius) you may feel this full moon more intensely than others.
The sign of Taurus, the Bull:
Taurus has a Fixed quality (along with Leo, Scorpio and Aquarius). The Fixed modality signifies the middle of the seasons. The Fixed energy sustains and preserves that which is initiated in the Cardinal phase. Taurus is one of the signs (along with Virgo and Capricorn) which are also associated with the Earth element concerning stability, predictability, groundedness and practicality.
Some keywords for Taurus include: patience, steadfastness, reliability, sensuality, self-indulgence. Taureans personally may be resilient, even stubborn and inflexible, cautious, methodical, deliberate and enjoy the sensual comforts of life (like good food and fine wine).
The sign of Scorpio, the Scorpion:
Scorpio also has a Fixed quality or mode. Fixed energy is also steadfast; these signs are routine, regular and have a sense of pattern. With Scorpio, imagine unabiding emotional depth and loyalty. Scorpio is one of the signs (along with Cancer and Pisces) which is associated with the Water Element concerning feelings and emotions, instinct and sensitivity. Some keywords for Scorpio include: passion, resourcefulness and power.
Scorpions personally can be determined, having staying power and strength of will, however they may wish for complete transformation, which can occur through crisis. Scorpions may also be secretive, jealous and possessive, be unforgiving and seek revenge – having a “sting in the tail.”
Ruling planet Venus:
Taurus is ruled by the planet Venus. Venus is associated with love, partnerships, beauty, sensuality, money, values and pleasure. Strong Venusian types, or people with Venus dominant in their chart could highlight these tendencies (eg Venus in Taurus (or Libra) (in Domicile). Venus is currently in her Domicile or Chariot of Libra (balance), and Retrograde. We are continuing to review issues around partnerships, love, money and values. Venus is also separating from her recent Cazimi (conjunction) with the Sun, and remains invisible, and in the “underworld” in the Inanna myth. She will however emerge, renewed.
Full Moon square Pluto:
The Full Moon is applying to Pluto in Aquarius at 03°05′, therefore Pluto is at the apex of the Full Moon. This creates a tense T-Square aspect. Pluto is considered the “Lord of the Underworld” and maintains pressure until what has outlived its purpose in your life, finally transforms and goes away forever. Dig down deep and uncover what needs to die. As difficult as it is, we are being reminded and encouraged to let go of what no longer serves us, and to retain any nuggets of gold that matter in finding fulfilment. Be mindful of themes around intense emotional manipulation and control.
