Full Moon in Taurus - October 31, 2020


When the Wound Becomes the Healing


And Venus did it again!
Love is pouring over Humanity once more. Venus was the ruler of the New Moon in Libra, and she is the ruler of this Full Moon as well. This makes love the star of the month, if you understand tough love, of course. 

Venus and Anchises (1889 or 1890) by William Blake Richmond

The Moon is at 8º of Taurus and the Sun at 8º Scorpio. Full Moons put us in front of a mirror. There could be another person, an event, situation, or the general circumstances, but whatever the case, it reflects an aspect of ourselves. Keeping that in mind, by watching ourselves in the looking glass, we are made aware of something important by the reflected Sunlight on the Moon face.

This particular Full Moon taps its power in the December 25th, 2019 Solar Eclipse, in a waxing trine. I invite you to visit my blog post, which, unsuspectingly, I then titled “Turn the last page of your old life”. That eclipse was at 4º of Capricorn, conjunct Jupiter, square to Chiron and trine Uranus! Little did we know at that time, the significance and scope of what that energy would bring to the world. As it did bring profound changes to the structures of our reality (Capricorn), spread widely throughout the world (Jupiter), wounding the very core of our human identity and capacity for survival (Chiron in Aries), with a surprising strike (Uranus). Venus was in Aquarius foreshadowing the social separation and the alternative virtual connection that we are now experiencing.

The current Full Moon conjunct Uranus makes a loud call. Uranus’ lightning bolt shines a striking light and surprise us with a realization. That Eureka moment most likely will show us a reality that, either we didn’t know, or we ignored. Because the 8th degree of Taurus belongs to the Taurus decanate and Virgo Dwadashamsha (subdivisions of the Sign)0, this revelation is certainly related to the healing and purification of the Earth body, of our body, but also the radical transformation of our values. The Virgo sub ‘flavor’ of it, adds a factor of discernment, for the ability to separate what is useful from what should be discarded (the wheat from the chaff). 

Uranus, Greek God of the Heavens

Uranus in Taurus correlates to breaks in the ecological food chain, breaks in the food distribution system, disruptions and transformations in the economic system, and the availability of resources, unexpected or abnormal financial developments. Uranus in Taurus is an earth shaker, then natural catastrophes are not discarded, even earthquakes. However, with Uranus, no one can predict, because no matter what you expect, something entirely different may happen. The main symbolisms to remember are that Uranus is electricity and sudden shocks, and Taurus is the material aspects of life.

The Moon is applying to a quintile (71º angle) with out-of-bounds Ceres. Ceres at the critical 29th degree of Aquarius opposes Haumea and sextiles Black Moon Lilith in Taurus. Ceres in Aquarius represents the yin (feminine) attributes of nurturance in the community context. Being out-of-bounds, makes Ceres manifestation extreme. People are creating innovative ways to assist the victims of natural or man made catastrophes. We will probably see a surge in the nurturing urgency for communities in dire need for survival, like people coming in aid to extended family members, the creation of childcare coops, mothers’ support groups, people asking and receiving aid from friends, and humanitarian charity groups.1

All that not without a pressing reason. On the one hand this Full Moon is also the culmination of the cycle started with the New Moon in Taurus in April this year. I invite you to recall what was that cycle about by watching my video titled "Are We Eating Tomorrow". On the other, Ceres opposite Vesta makes us aware of the needs of others, and invites us to learn to balance our needs with the moral responsibility we have towards nurturing others.2

In addition, Ceres trines Haumea, the TNP associated with the regeneration and fertility of Nature and the Earth. Mercury by Haumea’s side is sending her critical message, stating that Nature is in Labor and she needs support and care, safety, peace and gentleness so she is able to keep giving freely of her ‘fruit’. Another messenger is Black Moon Lilith in Taurus, asking ‘do we have enough to feel safe? Is there enough food to survive? She unveils the shadows of security in our fear of scarcity.3 There is urgency on this call, we should listen, understand and care. 

Haumea, Goddess of Fecundity

The Sun, beaming his Kingly light from the sign of the shadows and the underworld, reigns over the Moon and Uranus. We are certain to be shown significant ‘decayed’ material extra clearly. The Sun in the 8th degree of Scorpio is in the Pisces Dwadashamsha, and the Scorpio decanate. These added sub influences to the original meaning, talk about a global or widespread regeneration of sorts. Scorpio is the sign of death and rebirth, so the Sun points to something dying to be reborn, something destroyed to be rebuilt, or decomposed to give birth to something new. Considering that both, the traditional and modern Scorpio rulers, Mars and Pluto are still square, reveals an enormous destructive tension between the signs of Aries and Capricorn, radiating indirectly to Libra and Cancer. With the accumulation of planets in those signs, there is an increase of the potential for change (Cardinal energy).

Let’s come back to Venus, ruler of both, the New and Full Moons. Although she has now regained dignity now traveling her own home sign of Libra, she quincunx this Full Moon. This means that her longing for harmony and peaceful social activity and relationships is at odds with the situation or events the Full Moon causes. Moreover, Venus opposes Chiron and squares that December 25, 2019 Solar Eclipse, reactivating the reason to ‘turn the last page of your old life’.

Venus and Chiron mirroring each other challenge us to love and embrace the wound as the instrument of the healing process. Chiron reminds us the we are all now wounded healers, and that the healing method is the wound. Instead of rejecting and projecting the wound onto others, we are to recognize that loving and accepting those who or that what have wounded us, paves the way to our own healing and renewal. This way, covid19 is our wounding healer, and Humanity is under homeopathic therapy. Thus, let us see ourselves in the mirror of our beloved. Chiron in Aries is all about ‘I am not good enough’. Venus on the opposite side in Libra as the ‘I love you’ symbol, seeks balance and reconciliation with ourselves.

This reconciliation can only be achieved by the purifying healing and rebirth that this Full Moon offers.
May all beings be well and safe! Sat Nam.
