All About The Full Moon In Taurus

We arrive at the center of the storm: quietly, but not lightly. This is the Full Moon in Taurus at 13°, a lunation that asks a single but seismic question: What is truly enough? The 13th degree of any sign carries a karmic resonance. Numerologically, one plus three equals four, the number of foundation, order, and manifestation. But in esoteric degree theory, thirteen is also the number of metamorphosis.

It signals transformation through stabilization, death through embodiment, and power reclaimed through deliberate peace. In Taurus, this degree sits in the middle decan, a zone ruled by the Moon itself. It represents material comfort, consistency, and the slow grace of earned beauty. Yet at the 13th degree, Taurus begins to question its own attachments. This is the degree of tether and release: the realization that abundance cannot be hoarded and safety cannot be negotiated with fear.

The Full Moon opposes Uranus and orbits near Mercury, so what’s been contained breaks surface. Sudden truths spill out. The body feels what the mind tried to postpone. For some, that means physical exhaustion, tears that appear without context, or impulses to reorder their lives down to the furniture. For others, it manifests as clarity so sharp it feels like liberation disguised as disruption.

The 13th degree of Taurus illuminates your energetic budget. What drains you, and what replenishes you? What feels expensive only because you keep paying for it in attention? This lunation wants you to stop rehearsing your power and actually use it, to realign your body, money, relationships, and rituals with what genuinely sustains your nervous system.

The Ritual for the Taurus Full Moon:

- Prepare your space. Clean one surface. Light one white candle for clarity and one green candle for sufficiency. Place a bowl with warm water and a pinch of sea salt in front of you. Add two drops of lemon oil if you have it. Set a small plate with a piece of bread or a few nuts, and a cup of water or tea. Taurus honors the body before it makes a vow.

- Ground your body. Sit with both feet on the floor. Place your hands over your lower belly. Inhale for a count of four, pause for two, exhale for six. Do this seven times. Name out loud three sensations you feel in the moment. Calm the body first. Decisions land better in a settled system.

- Name the cost. On paper, write three current expenditures of energy or money that no longer match what you value. They can be subscriptions, habits, emotional labor, or a pattern of rescuing. Under each item, write the hidden price you pay, such as depleted attention, delayed creativity, or resentment.

- Name the return. Next to each cost, write what you would gain back if you stopped paying it. Be precise. Minutes reclaimed. Dollars freed. A steadier mood. Better sleep. Stronger boundaries. Taurus asks for numbers and outcomes, not slogans.

- Choose one change. Circle the single shift you will make for the next twenty-eight days. Make it measurable. For example, cancel one subscription and redirect that exact dollar amount into savings, or end one weekly obligation and dedicate that hour to a project that feeds you. Speak it out loud once. Whisper it again.

- Seal with the body. Dip your fingers into the salt water and touch your throat. Taurus rules the throat, so let your voice become the contract. Say, “I choose what sustains me. I keep what keeps me.” Take a small bite of bread or nuts and a sip of water or tea. Let the body receive the vow so the mind does not carry it alone.

- Close with gratitude. Extinguish the candles. Place the paper somewhere you see daily. Revisit your single change each night for five nights while the Full Moon’s charge slowly drains. Five days is enough to move from spike to steadiness.

By Thursday, Mars in Sagittarius sextiles Pluto in Aquarius at 2°, shifting the narrative from emotional exposure to decisive empowerment. Mars in Sagittarius wants truth that leads to freedom. Pluto in early Aquarius wants systems that free the collective without losing individual integrity. Together, they bring strategic heat, the ability to act from true alignment rather than reactivity.

This sextile grounds what the Full Moon illuminated. It transforms emotional electricity into usable ambition. If Tuesday’s Mars-Uranus opposition ripped off a lid, this transit builds the container back, but better. The guidance here: Don’t rush to rebuild the old structure. Build the one that matches who you are now.

The Taurus Moon’s revelations start to take tangible form under this aspect. It’s when you finally follow through, cancel the subscription, send the email, make the phone call, or state the boundary you rehearsed in your journal.

That same day, Venus enters Scorpio. Where Taurus stabilizes, Scorpio intensifies. Where Taurus gathers, Scorpio penetrates. The emotional tone deepens, but it also sharpens. Love, loyalty, and financial partnerships move from surface exchange to psychological honesty. You will feel what people mean more than you’ll hear what they say.

This is a week for emotional truth serum. Venus in Scorpio isn’t gentle, but she’s honest. She teaches that attraction without transparency is just performance. Real desire requires emotional exposure, and real abundance requires energetic intimacy with what you own.

Then comes Friday, November 7th, and with it, a challenge. Venus squares Pluto, testing every connection, promise, and transaction made under the heat of the Full Moon. Power dynamics surface. If you’ve been holding resentment quietly, it won’t stay silent. If you’ve been performing, it will crack. The square clarifies what’s symbiotic and what’s parasitic.

Also on November 7th, Uranus retrograde re-enters Taurus, where it will remain until April 25th, 2026, completing its seven-year revolution through the sign of the Earth and the body. This is the last chapter in an era that began in 2018, when Uranus first entered Taurus and began shaking the foundations of stability, our economies, food systems, currencies, and our sense of physical safety.

When Uranus finally leaves Taurus for Gemini in April 2026, it will not return in your lifetime. Its next visit to Taurus will be April 2102. That means the changes you anchor now are final in your personal story. They represent the values you will live by for decades to come.

So, when you ask yourself what this Full Moon and this Uranus return mean, think long-term: What values can survive the next 80 years of evolution? What does “security” mean when freedom becomes the real currency? Taurus and Uranus have spent seven years teaching that the body is the bank. If your nervous system isn’t safe, no wealth is real.

On Sunday, November 9th, Mercury stations retrograde at 7° Sagittarius, beginning its backward journey until November 29th, when it will station direct at 21° Scorpio. This retrograde is far more consequential than a few tech glitches. It’s philosophical.

Mercury in Sagittarius deals with perspective, storytelling, belief, and the meaning you assign to chaos. As it retraces its steps back into Scorpio, it pulls you inward, into the archives of your psyche, asking: “Does the story I tell myself about my life match the emotional truth I feel underneath it?”

From November 9th through 29th, the mind will review what the soul already knows. You’ll revisit old conversations, beliefs, and contracts, literal and energetic. There may be opportunities to correct agreements, rewrite patterns of honesty, or reclaim the authority to define your own narrative.

Mercury Retrograde through these signs asks for silence between reactions, reflection before response, and deep honesty about your mental tone. If Sagittarius expands everything it touches, Scorpio purifies it. Together, they ask for the courage to speak only what you intend to sustain, and mean it.

This week is an initiation in embodiment and evolution. The Full Moon in Taurus reveals where you’ve been living beyond your energetic means. Mars sextile Pluto gives you the power to redirect that energy wisely. Venus in Scorpio makes it intimate, personal, undeniable. And Uranus’s return to Taurus finalizes a seven-year restructuring of what it means to be safe in your own skin.

By the time Mercury turns retrograde on Sunday, the conversation turns inward. You’ll be asked to edit the story, but only after living it. The next twenty-eight days will teach you that the life you want doesn’t come from controlling the narrative. It comes from listening to what the body, the timing, and the truth have already said.

The Universe, for once, isn’t whispering. It’s speaking through the earth itself. And it’s saying: Keep what keeps you happy.

Mantras:

I release what I outgrew, even if it once kept me safe.

Truth spoken is power in motion, always and in all ways.

I build a life that my body can believe in.
