Episode Details

The Full Moon in Taurus peaks at 24°on November 15, 2024, at 9:28 PM Universal Time. Normally experienced as a grounded, stable moment emphasising themes of endurance, patience, and preservation. This Full Moon is bound to Saturnian energy, just as Saturn stations direct in Pisces, with Saturn having dual rulership of the decan of Taurus III, creating an opportunity for discipline and resilience to shine brightly. The Sun, positioned opposite Uranus retrograde at 25°, amplifies revelations and disruptions that resonate with the themes seeded during the Taurus New Moon on May 7, 2024 and re-awakening those areas where we are called to create space or freedom in our lives.

This is a time to re-evaluate what we’ve set in motion, embrace the slower process of growth, and prepare for the transformative, yet stable, guidance that Saturn offers before it resumes forward momentum.

This Full Moon in Taurus reminds us that true strength lies in patience, preparedness and the willingness to surrender to greater forces. Taurus’s steady approach combined with Saturn’s eternal wisdom of the ages invites us to stay rooted in our vision and persevere, no matter the challenges or obstacles, for these are temporary.

The conjunction with Uranus is likely to bring unexpected changes, but with a well-prepared foundation, we can face these shifts with resilience. It may also offer new insights to where we have become stuck, Taurus’ fixed nature is resistant to change and we sometimes need help to shake up these areas in our lives. If we allow plodding persistence, respect for time, flow with the twists and turns, and have gratitude for the journey, we hopefully find that what happens slowly, indeed, happens well here.

Full Moons represent the peak of the lunar cycle, a time of culmination, revelation, and heightened emotion. When the Moon reaches its fullness, it directly opposes the Sun, creating a polarity that brings matters to light, often with sudden clarity or completion. Emotions can be more intense during a Full Moon, the process may feel unsettling or uncomfortable, this is a time of reaping what has been sown since the New Moon phase two weeks prior.

Under the influence of the Taurus Full Moon, we’re invited to reflect on our foundations—particularly those related to security, values, and what brings us stability. As the Moon reaches its peak in Taurus, we may see tangible results of our efforts or gain new insights that help us evaluate and strengthen our goals.
