Full Moon in Taurus - Claim Your Power Back

It’s been quite an intense couple of weeks since the new moon which ushered in the Mercury retrograde. The energy of this retrograde has been as promised, transformative and challenging (two sides of the same coin). The full moon in Taurus today is not as much a respite from these challenges as it is a glimpse into the potential of what could happen when we allow ourselves to unravel into those very contractions within our being that are making us ‘feel all the feelings’..all those feelings that we would rather not experience.

This full moon has some beautiful supportive and harmonious aspects. The moon (our emotional body) is trining Saturn (restriction, karma, constrictions). Saturn is also being aspected harmoniously by the Sun and Mercury. These aspects point us in the direction of how to navigate the intensity of the energies we are experiencing, and that is by leaning into them without resisting. Under this moon, the question you have to answer is ‘who are you when things get tough?’ The planetary alignments that are influencing us, are pushing us towards finally releasing some deep seated patterns that were buried somewhere within us, patterns that are now coming to the surface to be looked at and worked through.

The moon in Taurus is actually exalted which means that the moon loves to be in this sign. In addition the moon is making harmonious contacts to both Neptune and Pluto, which means that if we want clues on how to navigate the waters of our emotions, we must be willing to trust our intuition and have an openness to the transcendental dimension. The good news is, when we surrender ourselves to this higher dimension (which isn’t outside of us, but rather somewhere within); we suddenly find the courage to make space inside which enables us to watch how the whole cocoon metamorphosis process happens. Through this metamorphosis we discover where we have lost our power. Being that this is still Scorpio season and the full moon in Taurus opposes the Sun in Scorpio, our intimate relationships are still the playing ground for our transformation. So that ex who shows up out of nowhere, that old relationship pattern that shows up in your new relationship, that love addiction you thought you were over, that anger you thought you resolved towards your parents.. may all be triggers that come back with full force, so much so that you are caught off guard and maybe feel like you are taking a step back in your journey (retrograding?!?). However, these are just clues of where you have lost some of your vital essence, in some indigenous cultures it is called ‘soul loss’. And now you have the opportunity to claim back your soul.

So use this full moon to meditate on where you feel your energy contracting. Being that the moon is in Taurus, any physical activity that allows you to be present mindfully is a great tool at this time. Practices such as
Yoga, Bodywork, Tai Chi will enable you to connect to where your body is holding tension and feel into what the message of the tensions are. Our bodies are a perfect reflection of what we are holding in our consciousness, so allow yourself to use the intelligence of your body to guide you into expansion.

The deeper you get into your body, the more present you are, so if you are experiencing anxiety, anger, or any other kind of contractive emotions; feel into how they translate into the make up of your body. And see what happens when you follow these patterns and allow them to be rather than fighting or resisting them. What you might discover is a pathway to claiming your power back, a pathway to more soul, more you. And that right there is the butterfly that emerges from the cocoon.
