Taurus Full Moon — Finding Ground in the Astro Waves
We are amid planetary tides, swept by waves of change. On November 6, Venus enters Scorpio. The next day, November 7, Uranus returns to Taurus to work through its final lessons before moving into Gemini next April. On November 9, Mercury stations retrograde in Sagittarius, followed by Jupiter stationing retrograde in Cancer on the 11th. And on the 4th—just before the full moon—a sharp aspect between Mars and Uranus stirs swift action, unpredictable reactions, and a surge of intense conversations and big media.
In the midst of all this cosmic movement, the full moon lands on November 5 in Taurus, one of the most grounded and practical signs of the zodiac.
This full moon invites stability. Where do we go to find our center? What happens when we put practicality first? How do we look when we lean into patience? How do things improve when we take a methodical approach? These are the guiding questions of every Taurus full moon.
This year, the condition of Venus—Taurus’ ruling planet—adds complexity. Venus is in dialogue with Neptune, Uranus, and Pluto, but none seem to understand her. Neptune feels lost, yearning for humanity; Uranus craves fresh innovation; Pluto demands transformation, insisting that old thoughts must die for the new to emerge. To Neptune, Venus seems shallow; to Uranus, she’s too eager to please; to Pluto, she appears resistant to change. Yet the Taurus moon lends Venus a gift: the grounding power of practicality.
If you’ve ever stepped on the scale with your eyes closed, knowing you might not like the number—and then confirmed your suspicion—or checked your bank account only to realize an unprocessed check made your balance less rosy than it appeared, you know the feeling. Blech. But there’s freedom in facing reality: “Okay, this is where I am. Now I know what I need to do.” That’s the gift of this full moon: clarity. Something may surface that shifts your understanding. Reality asserts itself. The question becomes—what do you do with it?
This full moon also lands midway through the Libra lunar cycle, a time focused on relationships and relating. So, how do we show up when reality hits? Do we get snippy or demanding? Are we being realistic about others—or expecting too much or too little? The Taurus full moon can expose insecurities. Where do we feel “less than”? How do we mask that feeling? Are we numbing ourselves through overindulgence, or getting stuck and stubborn out of fear?
Remember: Uranus and Pluto push for change and evolution, while Neptune dissolves reality and pushes dreams. As these forces swirl, the Taurus moon reminds us to recognize what is working. Find the good. Find gratitude. From that stable foundation, we can build more of it.
When I was a kid at the ocean, I loved standing in the surf, watching waves break and retreat. As the water rushed past, it felt like I was moving—but I wasn’t. The motion was an illusion. Instead, the sand gathered around my feet, then my ankles, then my legs, anchoring me more against the pull of the tide.
That’s the image this Taurus full moon brings: gather the sands of good. Find your inner security. From that grounded place, you won’t be swept out to sea.
