Full Moon in Taurus November 3/4, 2017

Taurus Full Moon arrives at 1:23 am on November 4th, one day before we turn the clocks back here in the northeast. The animals prepare for the cold season, and we experience even less daylight beginning this weekend. As the animals gather and prepare their homes, we too prepare our homes for both the celebrations and stormy weather winter may bring.

Taurus is the sign of prosperity and abundance, finances, comfort and stability. The most sensual of the earth signs, this Taurus Moon is  influenced by Neptune while Venus, planet of love is a potent force across from Uranus at the time of Full Moon. Experiences of romance, imagination, creativity and beauty are accentuated. Neptune also relates to spirituality and ability to believe what you cannot see. Metaphysical experiences could increase this week and through the weekend. It's a powerful time for meditation or renewing any practice that takes your focus from the external world, chaos and pressure.

Taurus Moon and Scorpio Sun oppose in the most stubborn, persevering, and relentless of signs. What goes on will be huge, passionate, and extensive. Changes made will take strong hold and show long term promise and results.  Knowing this, take your own word and actions very seriously. It'll be difficult to reverse your position or alter the course later on.

Venus opposite Uranus means surprise developments in relationships and perhaps in matters of justice, law, and judgement.  Venus is harmonious, reflecting and highlighting Libra qualities and values. Uranus is volatile, out of bounds and original.  You may find it hard to believe or process the changes or decisions some people make a bout their relationships and partnership life.  Saturn and Venus also align and point to freedom and responsibilities of being in partnerships. Some of this will need to be renegotiated during Full Moon time.

Aries: Abundance and partnership
Taurus: Individuality and routines
Gemini: Inner focus and Health. Changes among friends.
Cancer: Allies and Romance. Career/Home activity.
Leo: Career, Recognition, and Learning/Communicating
Virgo: Travel and Education, Philosophies of Life & Spirituality
Libra: Marriage and Commitments, Health and Routines
Scorpio: Marriage and Commitments, Broadening Perspective
Sagittarius: Routines and Health, Love and Friendship, also attention to pets
Capricorn: Love and Creativity, Home and Career
Aquarius: Family, Recognition and Honors, Friends and Love life
Pisces: Money, Windfalls or Expenses, and Communication including sibling relationships

Essential Oils I suggest for this Full Moon include Frankincense which is so aligned to the sign Taurus. Sensual and a luxury, Frankincense has many benefits and qualities you can benefit from and it's wondrous to take in aromatically or on your skin. I also like Rosemary or any of the woodsy oils like Fir or Spruce for this earth sign Moon.

Stay grounded and enjoy the senses during Taurus Moon. Notice in which ways you are resourceful, abundant and loved.

Peace & Prosperity!
Robin

As this week begins, Mars shifts to Libra and the Sun to Scorpio.

Sunday: Mars to Libra at 2:29 pm EDT. Libra is harmony and justice, Mars is forceful energetically. Efforts toward peace must be measured. Mediate, work through or with an independent party like an attorney rather than confront volatile personal or business situations head on. These are weeks to avoid the tipping point where dominance and power override logic and sensibility.  Sagittarius Moon in harmony with Mars. Red is today's color.

Monday: Sun shifts to Scorpio at 1:27 am EDT. Sag Moon in harmony with Venus in Libra and square to Neptune. Trust your intuition if you think someone is misrepresenting or holding back secrets or important information.  An adventure is appealing, but avoid escapism of the long term nature. Indigo Blue today.

Tuesday: Sag Moon meets Saturn in the morning. Use wisdom, make a decision or agree to terms. Void Moon 12:44 to 8:12 pm EDT. Rapid developments. Mercury and Neptune align for fiction writers and creative projects. Capricorn Moon 8:12 pm EDT until Friday. Light Blue is today's color.

Wednesday: Capricorn Moon lines up favorably with the Sun, Jupiter and Neptune. Look for ease even in challenging situations. Make agreements and follow through on plans. Abundance and productivity. Green is today's color. 

Thursday: Capricorn Moon meets Pluto, Sun and Jupiter meet in Scorpio. A mixed day where focusing on the positive is necessary. Don't allow your confidence to be shaken. Show your best side and celebrate results.  Gray is today's color. 

Friday: An overnight Moon square Uranus can be rough and involve power plays, competition or throw a wrench in well made plans.  Venus and Mercury both interact with Pluto. Nothing will be taken lightly. Deep emotions evoked.  Void Moon 1:22 to 8:59 am EDT. Aquarius Moon through most of Sunday. Purple is today's color.

Saturday: Aquarius Moon harmony with Venus, square to Mercury. Strong statements. Connect with your tribe.  Venus adds joy and beauty to events today or tonight. Wear Turquoise.

New Moon in Libra, October 19th, 2017

New Moon in Libra on October 19th is opposite Uranus, the rebellious, inspirational, sometimes destructive planetary influence. Uranus tears down in order to re-create in a new, original way. Relationships and independence vs. joining forces are themes of this New Moon.

Sabian symbol for this New Moon, 'An Eagle and large white dove turning into each other'. This image of blending energies acknowledges two different qualities or ways or being. Polarities of Peace versus Force and The Hunter versus the Herbivore represent. Is cooperation a possibility even when the other party thinks and acts much differently from you? Can duality or opposing energies co-exist or even meld to form something stronger that each on it's own? The polarities are obvious and strong and continue the impacts of Jupiter opposing Uranus in early October just before leaving for Scorpio.
The Wow effect, breaking free of restrictions or oppression and acting on out of the ordinary ideas and inspirations are some effects. Now with New Moon, it may be time to seek the next level, perhaps with a complementary energy, a supportive person or entity who thinks unlike you or comes from a different background, perspective, or strength.
