Full Moon in Taurus, November 15, 2024, 21: 28

The Full Moon in Taurus is less intense and complex than the previous New Moon, but that does not mean everything is hunky-dory. A tight conjunction between the Moon and Uranus will deliver plenty of excitement. Listen closely to your body signals. Sudden outbreaks or vehement reactions may seem irrational. Investigate their source. Sometimes, cracks appear suddenly, revealing structural weaknesses. On the world stage, sudden changes may create a highly volatile atmosphere, sending jitters through the markets.

These aspects mark a shift in the collective consciousness – a cultural reset. We are figuring out how to tackle our current issues and re-envision what it means to be human at this pivotal time. Globally, plutonic forces are raising their ugly heads, and AI technology is transforming the world as we know it.

These generational aspects will become exact next year. They are currently building up momentum. The Full Moon conjunct Uranus pushes them into the spotlight. A revolution is underway, the dimensions of which we cannot yet fathom. The forces at work transform society, our values, and our way of life. Over the next couple of years, things will become clearer as the new era gradually reveals itself through art, philosophy, science and culture. It is important to remember that we are not just spectators in this cosmic show, but the movers and shakers who will build this new world. 

Venus in Capricorn quincunx Mars in Leo

Venus in Capricorn is strategic, methodical and ambitious, while Mars in Leo is headstrong, self-centred and proud. The quincunx places these two at odds with little common ground between them. Yet, a solution must be found.

Mars in Leo semi-square Jupiter in Gemini

The semi-square between Mars and Jupiter is an image of grandiose overconfidence. Impulsivity does not always yield the desired results but may alienate people, sparking clashes and disagreements. The heat of the moment may pass quickly, but the damage cannot easily be undone.

Mercury in Sagittarius is not shy and rarely at a loss for words. But squaring Saturn, it may feel tongue-tied, or blurt out the wrong thing at the wrong time.

Jupiter and Saturn have maintained their square for quite some time, testing the viability of things set into motion during the conjunction at the end of 2020. Are those visions bearing fruit?

It’s time to prune any twigs and branches that bear no fruit or get in the way. Make whatever readjustments are necessary to align with the current situation, but don’t throw the baby out with the bathwater. Keep your big, long-term goals in mind and use your core values as your guide. Saturn is turning direct on this Full Moon. It is now time to take action. Jupiter is still retrograde until February 2025, moving into a tighter orb with Saturn. Use this opportunity to work on your mindset and plot out a strategy to pave the way to the future you envision.

The opposition between Mercury and Jupiter can feel overwhelming. Too many options or interesting ideas make it hard to choose and focus on what really matters. Use your values as your inner compass.

These Chiron aspects offer an opportunity to clear the air. Open communication paves the way for insight and healing.

Sun in Scorpio trine Neptune in Pisces
Moon, Uranus in Taurus sextile Neptune in Pisces

The trine between the Sun and Neptune, and the corresponding sextile between Moon/Uranus and Neptune, prompt us to grasp things with the inner eye through reflection, contemplation, and meditation to gain insight and wisdom.

These aspects show the transformative potential of this Full Moon. But there can be no redemption without facing the shadow and being open and willing to accept change.

Venus in Capricorn square North Node in Aries
Mars in Leo trine North Node

Mars and Venus aspecting the nodal axis challenge us to push beyond the limitations of the comfort zone and urge us to use creativity to align our actions and behaviours with the axis of our destiny. But, it is the blockage, which generates the pressure and energy needed to follow your path.

Some minor aspects

These hard aspects to Pluto describe the challenges and pain that propel deep transformation. Stumbling blocks test our determination and resourcefulness. Where there is a will, there is a way, but we have to fight for it.
