Stability Amid The Shadows - Full Moon in Taurus

Welcome to this blog edition, and with it Full Moon blessings and much opportunity.

The word that keeps being given to me in different guises for this week's energies is STABLE. Although there's much to challenge this notion on the face of it, stability is the golden thread that runs throughout all of it. Subtle enough to miss perhaps, yet up for embodiment with our conscious action.

Amidst the intensity of the remaining throes of Scorpio Season, we are being gifted the stability and security of a fixed Earth sign Taurus Full Moon this week.

Amidst our transformation, we can access solid ground.

Amidst the birthing pains of this rebirth process, we can soothe with deep nourishment.

Amidst integrating our shadow aspects, we can bring our renewal into tangible form.

Being the energy and form of that which we wish to create is here for us. 

It might take baby steps, if, like me, you've been wading through some life challenge's to develop from lately. But they are steps nonetheless and change is happening for us, personally and collectively.

This Moon is conjunct Uranus, also in Taurus. The conjunction is a close relationship between the planets that bring a strong influence of each other's characteristics, and create a synergy from their own combination.

Uranus is the revolutionary, calling for change and innovation. The Moon is our subconscious, our emotional body, and our intuition. These two planets in partnership, deep within the Earthy tangibility of Taurus and all things material, gives us both the stability and the practicality to bring changes forward into our lives and reality, that have been processing in the recesses in recent weeks.

My Son pointed out an apt quote he noticed on my phone this morning, 'To achieve what you've never had, you must evolve into someone you've never been'. It couldn't be more synchronous or timely for these energies. 

We aren't going to be necessarily given a step-by-step guide on our personal or spiritual development, and even if we are, it will likely require us getting stuck in and taking action to find our way forward. Incorporating kinder, more loving decisions to ourselves and each other is indeed a practice.

Embodying and BEING the changes we wish to see in the world is a start, and an empowering start because any baby step we take on our wellness and kindness to self, ripples out to the collective. In this sense we are also role-modelling.

It can take time. Like the calm Bull, it is slow and steady energy that wins the long race. The shadow aspects of the Taurus Moon illuminated by the Scorpio Sun also remind us not to be too inflexible, stubborn, rigid, or indeed to charge into anger! Again, STABILITY is the key here.

This doesn't mean not taking action, it is about taking stable actions, coming from a place of love, and doing our best even if actions feel messy or challenging. 

Here are some wellness tips for riding these transformative energies with the most value and ease:

Get into nature. Immerse in this grounding energy both physically and in your awareness.

Ensuring deep nourishment of the body. Taurus teaches us how to feed the body, do this wisely with consistent, nutritious meals. It sounds basic but navigating energies and any life stuff requires energy and our system needs the correct fuel to support this.

Amp up the self-care. This is a time for loving on oneself deeply! The salt baths with candles and rose petals, cooking a favourite meal, plenty of sleep, exercise and water - all great ways to feed the physical, mental, emotional and energetic bodies.

Gather your support team. Knowing that we are never alone is one part of this incredible spiritual collective and journey, but physically mustering the people and environments that support our mental and emotional health at this time is CRUCIAL. Plus, being this support for others in your life may be crucial for them too (I've no doubt we are ALL working our way through some kind of stuff right now). We are in it together, even if our circumstances differ.

Do not be afraid to reach out to someone if you’re struggling.

Journalling on any shadow aspects that Scorpio Season still may lend itself to the transformation and rebirth processes available to us. Amazing opportunity of this time to do shadow work consciously.
