BRINGING THE LIGHT THE LAST 6 MONTHS
This Full Moon is related to a cycle that started 6 months ago with the Taurus New Moon on the 8-9th of May. If you can think back to what was going on around you and within you at that time, there will be big hints as to what you can expect with this Full Moon. As with any Full Moon it's energy can express a couple of days before it peaks, as well as continue for the days after. As this Moon will be aligned with Uranus (which we'll look at in a second) be prepared for an unexpected element in what manifests.
TAURUS TEACHES US ABOUT WORTHINESS
Taurus is an incredibly grounding energy that rules the realm of material goods, possessions and self-worth. This sign teaches you about what you value and how you value yourself through your relationship with money, with the things you own or want to acquire as well as where you search for validation in the eyes of another (instead of yourself). This is a Full Moon that is calling for you to realise that your worth is not based on material acquisition (which is the result of karma) but is rather something inherent in your being. As Venus (the ruler of this Moon) is sitting in Capricorn, and this Moon is sitting in a Decan ruled by Saturn this represents a karmic turning point in how you understand the material realm. A time to see that no amount of hard work, accolades, monetary reward or external accumulation of status will fill the 'god-sized' hole within. You can find that this Moon can bring with it a sense of restriction when focus on the external world as it's teaching you that value is not something that can be measured, or compared with another...it simply is - and in that there is freedom.
THE MATERIAL WORLD IS KARMIC
Taurus represents the Goddess Maha Maya (the great deluder) which is the illusion of the external material realm and if an ‘other’. It is through this illusion you experience separation from another - through the belief that someone has more or less than you because of the money, material goods or status they have accumulated. It's important to remember with this Moon that the material realm is entirely karmic, and has nothing to do with merit or desire in this life. In fact the material realm is the perfect set up for what you need to learn as a soul with money + possessions being the tools you need to ultimately understand yourself. The irony of this is that although we live in a society that worships wealth, those who have been arguably the richest (the gurus, rishis, avatars etc) have had no money to their names...and what they did have they gave away.
A MOON OF UNEXPECTED EVENTS
This Full Moon at 24'00 of Taurus will be aligned with Uranus as well as Magdalena, so you’re in for some unexpected events, and out-of-the-blue miracles that disrupt your relationship with the material realm and your sense of worth...allowing you to reassess and redefine what you value and how you value yourself. Firstly Uranus is the great disruptor and revolutionary, so as this Full Moon peaks it can feel like the ground is shaking (maybe even literally as he is associated with natural events like earthquakes and volcanos). It is through this shaking and rocking of your world, you're being invited to let go of what is no longer working for you, and step onto new land. You can find that at a collective level this sees the heart of his energy manifesting as the collapse of systems that no longer work and values that don't make sense and at an individual level the ways in which you have been valuing yourself being over turned. Just be ready to be flexible with this energy, and embrace the idea that the unexpected is working for your highest, long-term good.
…AND MIRACLES
The other force working with this Moon is the asteroid Magdalena (representative of Mary Magdalene) who is sitting with Uranus. She too brings unexpected energy but in the form of miracles and shifts in energy that live beyond the realm of 'possibility'. She can bring forth miraculous healing and the ability to remove internal obstacles to your growth (in truely magnificent ways). You can find that Uranus amplifies her energy and makes this Moon incredibly disruptive and unexpected - yet what is living within this shaking is something deeply needed for your soul's evolution on earth. Magdalene can ultimately help awaken within you the understanding that nothing is more or less than anything else on this earth - even if the illusion of the material realm suggests otherwise. (PS. We'll be working with Mary Magdalene in this Moon's Sacred Ritual. Details here). The key to her energy is faith, believing in what is bigger than you whether you call that love, the universe, goddess etc.
OUR FINAL SHIVA MOON
This Taurus Full Moon will be our final one influenced by the asteroid Shiva. As Shiva will sit with the Sun, illuminating the Moon you can find the subtle and not so subtle need to release, let go and purge. That can show up in the material realm as a time to clean your home or remove the clutter of possessions that no longer serve you and at a deeper level this can manifest as a time to let go of the ways in which you have been looking outside of yourself for justification of your worth. Shiva's ultimate goal is to lift the veil of ignorance (aka Maya) so that you can see the oneness that beats underneath it. As such this can be a deeply spiritual Moon where you can start to experience the truth of your being and it's equality with all.
IT FALLS IN KRITTIKA NAKSHATRA
In Vedic Astrology this Full Moon falls in Krittika Nakshatra, which is the place where you are called sharpen your mind and cut through the ignorance of the senses + stories that spin illusion. As this mansion is associated with the element Agni (fire) you can find that it's time to burn through and quickly transmute this ignorance into greater self-awareness. Just be careful as you do, for there is a choice in this energy - you can use this inner fire to burn others (by focusing it outside of yourself) or you can turn it within to remove the illusion of ever being unworthy or unequal to anyone else. This Moon can also bring forth deeply healing energy as well as the ability to confront your inner demons (aka thoughts + stories of separation).
