Taurus Full Moon Nov 17: Sensuality and Values

To be sensual, I think, is to respect and rejoice in the force of life, of life itself, and to be present in all that one does, from the effort of loving to the making of bread.
James A. Baldwin, American Author (1924-87)


Plumeria Jewels by Joseph Mina
This month the November Full Moon shines its light in sensuous Taurus at 25°. 

Taurus is about beauty, values, sensuality and sexuality. Slow down. Get comfortable.  Stop and smell the roses. Enjoy the beauty of nature around you. 

What really turns you on?  This is a great question for Taurus Moon time! Venus, goddess of love and beauty is the ruler for Taurus. Her placement near powerful Pluto this lunation (see chart below) strongly suggests transformation in the structure of relationships and values. Their potent connection with Uranus in Aries further instigates new ways to express and assert (Aries) your individuated gifts in intimate partnership, especially around Taurus type values (possessions, money, self-esteem).

The Sun in Scorpio with Moon in Taurus November 17th highlights magic, mystery and
sensuality this 2nd half of the month. Tune into your body. Listen to your gut instincts. Mercury, now direct in Scorpio, makes its final pass over the North Node of the Moon on November 18th. Communicate with power, passion and with the depth of your feelings! Share below in the comment section how you are expressing yourself differently these days.

Here's the Full Moon Chart:



Mercury Direct: On November 10th, Mercury ended its current retrograde cycle. That doesn't mean the challenging effects of Mercury Retrograde are finished. It is possible some similar types of Mercury Retrograde events may reoccur while Mercury retraces its retrograde path through November 28th.

The lessons of this water Mercury Retrograde have been varied and somewhat intense. The Scorpio areas of trust, shared resources, intimacy and death and rebirth were activated during this cycle. Over the next 2 or so weeks, there are 3 significant dates in this Mercury unwinding phases: 18th (North Node conjunction), 20th (sextile Pluto) and 25th (3rd interaction with Saturn). North Node is a destiny point; Pluto, ruler of Scorpio, adds strong transformative fuel, and Saturn creates structure. Pay particular attention on those days to clues about how to effectively move your energy and possibly reposition yourself for the coming year 2014.

Supportive actions through the end of this month as the Mercury effect slowly eases up are: taking time for reflection, reconnection and spontaneity.


November Full Moon illuminates these questions for contemplation: 
- "What are your priorities?"
- "What do you really value?"
- "How do you create and express beauty in your world?"
- "How do you care for your body, especially in times of great transition?"

Conclusion:
We are emerging from a strong cycle of energy activated at last Equinox. Now, a new energy builds this month as Venus in Capricorn enters her retrograde shadow on November 15. Capricorn represents rules, structure, finance and politics.  These areas of life have been undergoing massive transformations since Pluto entered Capricorn in early 2008. The Venus' retrograde journey between December 21 and January 31, 2014 further amplifies a more feminine quality to these once very patriarchal realms of Capricorn in some radical new ways, perhaps considered "unthinkable" in the past.

  1. aloha j & k,,,,interesting soul searchin' questions you pose....i have been cleansing my body for the past 2 years, inside & out....most recently i let go of half my record collection, some memorabilia & many, many photos...although emotional it was clearing & i feel much lighter, this time as my filter i asked myself: "is this me?" if it still was i kept it, if it was no longer me i tossed it or gave it away or sold it...like that shirt i grew out of, it was my favourite when i was 14 but now it's too small, it's still a great shirt, but it's no longer me....one big attitude change i've been made aware of lately & one i'm letting go of is the tendency to be passive aggressive...WHO ME?...yes even me....i'm practicing being more assertive....the big clearing.....by the way it was just this monday that i let go of the memorabilia & photographs...mercury direct & in the first half moon ...new directions....ku'u welu j & k and all the gemini-awakening'ers out there too
