A super full moon in Taurus

It is just shy of midnight here in Oz.  I got at settled for sleep but there was energy moving and spiraling around me.  Usually I get to bed at 10ish but I have noticed the past few nights how active my mind and heart has been.  Poetry has been flowing thick and fast (far more than I have posted here) and the depths of sadness seem to have been scoured which is very much Scorpio, Pluto territory which collectively we inhabit and journey into at this time of year.

When the full moon shines it is reflecting the solar light or energy from that domain, we have old ghosts close to us, apparently this includes the ancestors or ancestral imprints we may carry.   Old issues in the collective that we may be working through or working out.  And with Moon in the sign of the body, self value and deep instictual nature its a great time to draw towards nature in quiet contemplation to hear what deeper truths and messages are whispering to us from within, stirring in deep in our souls.

For myself I feel poised on a threshold of change, lately.  Over the past few years so many deep emotions have been processed.  I’ve got a good look into self doubt patterns as well as my tendency to self criticise at times and judge myself too harshly, now the Moon is saying go easy, value yourself, value your growth, appreciate all the gifts that are being revealed from the hard work of seeds planted over the past year of therapy with the person who can most deeply reflect and hold up a true mirror to my real self.  Stay in touch with the reality that lives deep within your body and soul.  Be true to that body and self and instincts and being, to the deepest essence of you.  Stay in touch with your true nature.

A year ago I made a tough decision to leave a therapist who didn’t suit me, we had a major conflict around this time.  I am in a far stronger place now having made that decision.  This is where trust and self value comes from (Venus/Taurus issues), coming to trust and know our own instincts and needs, seeing the terrible price of sacrificing them, all this leads us on to self empowerment.  And I am seeing that empowerment in the posts of many bloggers, those seeking to bring attention to the way others and they suffer in a world that does not show empathy or deeper insight into their struggles, ways in which they are finding strength through navigating their vulnerable places.

I feel this full moon bodes well. The moon is appearing larger on our horizons, is this a metaphor for the power of our feelings gaining strenght for good and ill?   In the end Scorpio’s ruler Pluto shows we need to take an underworld journey to heal. We are challenged to enter the depths and do the inner cleansing of old hurts and injuries and programming that hold us back and dull our spirits, but we are also challenged to let go of old pain and see where resentment can keep us stuck.  Venus rules the Moon at this lunation which shows that when we shine the light of self value and self acceptance on ourselves facing this territory can be less painful and we have the choice to either amplify the negative and fester in disempowerment or see and acknowledge the courage and strength it took for us to be vulnerable and face the truth, painful as it is.  We cannot fool Pluto.    Our hard lessons were in some way either the making or undoing of us.

Phew feeling tired now the full moon is nearly exact, here.  Full moon blessings to everyone, may Venus the sacred feminine energy within and around you surround you with love and fill your hearts and souls with a strong sense of value, nurture and comfort.
