Full Moon in Taurus - October 29th

It's definitely an advantage to live our lives with the knowledge that we are made up of energy and that everything around us is also made of energy.....and we need to remember that our emotions are also just energy!

E-motions (energy in motion) come and go and they can also be affected by what is going on around us energetically.

The full moon is one of those things that can greatly affect our energy/emotions as the fuller the moon, the greater the pull on the water in our body (just like the moon pulls the tides) and guess where our energy vibrations are most active? Within the water in our bodies!

We are made up of around 60% water so there can be a lot of emotional shifts going on during the lunar phases which are of course heightened when the moon is at it's fullest. Just ask teachers, nurses and doctors how their shifts go around the full moon!

And depending on what time of the year it is and where the moon is in the sky, it can have an extra layer of specific energy that we can harness and use for our benefit.

You don't have to be a Taurean to make use of this full moon energy as it affects all star signs, although those born under the Taurus sign may feel this energy a little more than others.

So what's happening energetically for us this full moon?

This month's full moon occurs in Taurus on October 29th here in Australia at 6.24am AEST. This is will be our last eclipse for the year and it's a partial eclipse.

Full moons are always a time of powerful manifesting, achieving our goals and releasing energy that we no longer want or need to carry over to the next month. And just as the full moon marks a completion or an ending to something....it is also the start of something new as the cycle begins again.

This full moon in Taurus energy:

is a time to focus on your emotional well-being and the security of your life. Be aware of your need for stability and seek ways to create a sense of safety and comfort in your daily routines. So even if you crave change, don't be surprised if you feel like sticking with what you know at the moment and staying within your comfort zone.
You may feel pulled to seek our sensual pleasures! Take this opportunity to indulge in the sensual and pleasurable aspects of life. Enjoy good food, engage in self-care, and pamper yourself. It's a time to appreciate and savour the simple, beautiful things that bring you joy. Bring it on I say!
Use this time to work steadily toward your long-term goals. Recognize that meaningful progress often takes time, and staying persistent in your efforts can lead to lasting success. Avoid rushing into decisions or impulsive actions and trust in your ability to persistently work towards your goals. A good mantra for this time is remembering 'It's a marathon, not a sprint'
Be aware of any tendencies toward stubbornness or inflexibility in your interactions with others. Now is the time to be more flexible and open to communication in your relationships. It's okay to have strong opinions, but finding common ground and compromise can strengthen your connections which will always serve you better than sticking rigidly to your point of view
This full moon may ignite your creative side. Take advantage of this energy by having fun with your artistic side...Whether it's painting, dancing, writing, music or even just dressing with a bit more flair than usual, use your creative expression to help release and express your emotions.

Appreciate your senses at the moment: Get out and engage with the beauty of nature, enjoy soothing scents by using your favourite mists or oils, practice mindful eating as you slowly eat something you love and just treat yourself to any sensory experiences that brings you joy. Heightened sensory awareness can enhance your overall well-being and we all need that at the moment!
This is also a great time to set some practical and achievable goals for the coming weeks and months. Taurus's energy encourages you to plan for a stable and secure future so by setting some realistic goals before the end of the year and jotting them down, you won't feel overwhelmed by what you have to get done as they can be out of your head and on paper to slowly chip away at and cross off when you achieve them!

Support for Kids

You might find it a good time to stick to known routines and known places at the moment as our kids will feel pulled towards their comfort zones right now. Not a great time for trying new things or going new places so honour their feelings of wanting things to feel familiar and comfy.

Get kids doing the sensory stuff! For younger kids, think sand play, water play, play-dough or anything they can squish and use their hands with. For older kids, get them out in nature to enjoy the sights and sounds of the beach or the forest, or make them their favourite food!

Encourage any artistic expression as this will definitely help with emotional wellbeing at the moment so suggest painting, drawing, journal writing, playing of musical instruments or dancing like nobody's watching around the house.

Any stubbornness in our kids may feel extra 'stubborny' right now so set them the example of being flexible and open minded to their suggestions or point of view! Rather than taking on any unnecessary battles at the moment, show them how to compromise...monkey see, monkey do!
