Full Moon Eclipse in Taurus Horoscopes

Nov 17, 2021

The Full Moon Partial Lunar Eclipse in Taurus is exact on Nov 19, 2021 at 3:02 AM CT. This is the first eclipse taking place on the Scorpio-Taurus axis and is the beginning of a story that will unfold from now through October 28, 2023.

The last time eclipses occurred on this axis was between November 13, 2012 and October 23, 2014. Look back at what changed and transformed in your life during this time. What did you have to let go of? What opened up for you as a result of letting go?

The patterns that emerge on the Scorpio-Taurus axis are often deep, ancestral conditioning. We are a family that does this. We are people that believe this. We are the people who.

But what happens when we are not the people who? What happens when deep down we are not the people who behave this way, believe this way, exist this way?

So often we hide the truth because what is true makes us unworthy to receive acceptance, security, redemption and more. For so long we have hid away what can’t be accepted rather than be vulnerable about our desires. It makes sense, because to survive is to seek safety. Who do we seek safety with? How is pursuing our desires seen in these communities? How is pursuing our desires seen in aligning with these families?

Since the New Moon in Scorpio on November 4, we have begun to step down into the well towards our hidden longing. There is something forbidden there that we desire.

What will they think? As much as we understand Taurus’s longing for security through material abundance and wealth, we seem to forget that Taurus is also a sign ruled by Venus. We seem to forget that we have been conditioned too long for these things, we have been conditioned to live by these values, because it provides safety through relationships. By staying only with what is understood and tangible we stay in the safety of acceptance and connection.

As much as we understand Scorpio’s intensity and passion, we seem to forget that Scorpio is a sign ruled by Mars. We seem to forget that as much as we believe that we pursue pleasure and seek highs, so many have been forced to remove all that is pleasurable from their lives. I think it’s a perspective that queer people understand more than most, because most queer people were taught at some point in time that what they desire is dangerous.

Whether you are queer or not, with Mars in Scorpio opposite to Uranus in Taurus, there is a strong invitation to break away and go in an entirely different direction at this Full Moon. There is a sense of clarity that the way we have done things is not the way we will do things any longer.

On eclipses we are invited to move with the chaos, to dance with what arrives and move the energy along on the continuum. But on the first eclipse in a cycle we are invited to recognize that this work of releasing is not done overnight. This is the longest eclipse that has occurred in almost 600 years, and as we witness the Moon transform shape and color, we are reminded that deep work happens in stages that occur now and ripple out over timelines that expand beyond our comprehension.

We are here to witness the shifting of work done over years. We are here to witness the shifting of work done over lifetimes. And here we are beginning again. Here we are to witness.

The last time a lunar eclipse of this length occurred was 1440 and we will not see it again until 2669.

What can you forgive at this Full Moon in Taurus? What can you release?

I’ll start.

I forgive you for making a choice that felt safe.

I forgive you for putting your faith in people you thought would keep you safe.

I forgive you for attaching to places you thought would keep you safe.

I am proud of you for prioritizing your safety.

And I will help you feel safe as we push towards new places that scare us. People that might not accept us. Ways of being that feel unknown. I will keep you safe. But we will go.

Eclipses have represented shifts in power between the people and the ruling classes throughout history, and on this axis we might see shifts in power dynamics around money, religion and the environment.

Jupiter in Aquarius is square to this Moon, expanding our horizons. This feels like moving across an ocean with a strong wind at our back. The waves are still choppy. We don’t know if we will arrive on the other side. But we must keep moving forward because there is something more for us. What, we don’t know. Hopefully more freedom. Hopefully more security. We hope the effort will be worth it.

Mars in Scorpio is also exiting a square to Saturn, so while the expansiveness of Jupiter feels exciting the fear around the pressure to make this move lingers. We might have lost something just as quickly as it came to us but it feels like there is a certainty that it isn’t over. There is a pressure to commit while remaining open to the possibilities of what will come.

This is only the beginning of the story that will unfold for the next two years. The next two events to watch for are the North Node’s entrance into Taurus on January 18, 2022 and the second eclipse on the Scorpio-Taurus axis, which occurs on the New Moon in Taurus on April 30, 2022. But this is not a lunation for manifesting or attempting to control the outcome of things. Whatever will be will be. Trust that you will arrive exactly where you need to.

Aries

Your work and financial commitments will experience transformation over the next couple of years. Right now you might be relying on someone else (or a group of people) more than you feel comfortable with. It threatens your independence and self-worth if you aren’t doing it all on your own. Maybe it’s time to examine where that belief comes from. Who told you that you have to earn your worth this way? Who told you that you have to prove your worth this way? At this eclipse it feels like something absolutely must change, but receiving help doesn’t have to mean someone has power over you. Maybe they want to be there for you in that way. Maybe the way you see yourself as an authority figure in the world, in your life, needs a little makeover. I know you believe in communal care Aries. Receive it.
