On Oct. 31st at 10:49am EDT<\/strong>,\u00a0the\u00a0Full Moon in 8.5 degrees of\u00a0Taurus<\/strong><\/em> becomes exact. If you are a Member of my online community, feel free to watch my video on the subject.<\/a><\/p>\nAll Full Moons<\/em>\u00a0offer opportunities for us to see things in a new light \u2014 and they guide us away from polarization and division, toward\u00a0balance and integration. Full Moons also illuminate the truth and consequences of our choices.<\/p>\n The\u00a0Sun is in\u00a0Scorpio<\/strong>\u00a0and the Moon is in\u00a0Taurus<\/strong>;\u00a0not only that,\u00a0we are also dealing here with a\u00a0Moon\/Uranus alignment in\u00a0Taurus<\/strong><\/em> —\u00a0and with two exalted Retrograde planets<\/em>, that are slowing down to end their various Retrograde phases: Mercury in Libra<\/strong> and Mars in Aries<\/strong>. Their energy feels stronger inside of us\u00a0— and because of the Retrograde component, this is an inner experience, an intuitive process.<\/p>\n You may recall that I talked a little about the Mercury Retrograde component<\/em> in the last New Moon video and in my\u00a0“Mercury Retrograde in Scorpio-Libra<\/strong><\/em>\u201d webinar\u00a0(which is still available for purchase until Nov. 3rd<\/strong>, for those of you who are not yet Star Members).<\/p>\n We will also address the exalted Mars component<\/em> in our next Forecasting Forum on Nov. 8th<\/strong>. Feel free to join us<\/a>, if you would<\/strong> like to know how Mars’ inward journey since Sept. 9th will impact what comes next for you.<\/strong><\/p>\n There is currently an Early Bird Special<\/strong><\/a> that is available until Nov. 5th!<\/strong> So feel free to take advantage of that<\/a>, unless you are already a Star Member<\/em> — you guys are automatically registered and will receive an email to join us live, the day before the live event, and the mp4-video recording within 24 hours of the live event.<\/p>\n That’s it for announcements and logistics, back to the Full Moon…<\/p>\n Let’s take a look at\u00a0the\u00a0Scorpio\/Taurus\u00a0polarity:<\/strong>\u00a0This Full Moon has both a Taurus<\/strong> and a Scorpio<\/strong> spotlight \u2014 one spotlights our relationship to our physical body, what we value on the physical plane, and the planet we live on (Taurus<\/strong>) \u2014 while the other highlights our relationship to emotional authenticity, intimacy\/sexuality, empowerment\/disempowerment, death\/rebirth, endings\/beginnings (Scorpio<\/strong>) \u2014 it is asking us to recognize our deepest desires and truest motivations.<\/p>\n You can\u00a0ask yourself\u00a0with this Full Moon:<\/strong> What do I truly value? What\u00a0deserves my attention, appreciation, and care?\u00a0Which of my values stem from social conditioning? Which need to change?<\/p>\n At its best,\u00a0Scorpio<\/strong> is associated with…<\/p>\n ***<\/p>\n ALREADY A MEMBER? <\/strong>Scroll down & keep reading (make sure you are logged into your Member’s account<\/a>)!<\/p>\n GET IT ALL!<\/strong> Get the whole Forecast with all the Full Moon questions — as well as other awesome and exclusive content — become a site member<\/a> (still, for the price of a cappuccino!) \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n *** At its best,\u00a0Scorpio<\/strong> is associated with transformation, and our capacity to shed what may have served us in the past, but now hinders our growth. We are indeed being asked to shed something in our life — a false belief, perhaps, or a “fake” identity or “way of being” — but it could also be a relationship, job, or something else more concrete.<\/p>\n The Sun\u2019s passage through\u00a0Scorpio<\/strong>\u00a0is a time of transition, a time to go within to honor the realities of death and rebirth, the cycle of life, the most natural thing there is.\u00a0The Sun started its passage through Scorpio<\/strong> on Oct. 22nd.<\/p>\n Ask yourself:<\/strong>\u00a0How far have I come in regards to investigating or understanding my deepest desires? How am I doing with owning previously denied or rejected parts of myself? What parts of myself still operate on survival strategies? Where am I still left feeling disempowered in my life?<\/p>\n Scorpio<\/strong>\u00a0ultimately teaches us that every ending is also a beginning — but the denser vibrations of Scorpio<\/strong> tend to bring up trust issues, black-and-white thinking, addiction to drama and darkness (or substances) — and anything we want to prevent. We could find ourselves coming from an instinctual, self-protective place, from survival rather than intuition and love-based spaciousness.<\/p>\n Ask yourself\u00a0here<\/strong>: What am I invited to shed? Is there a cycle in my life that is ending? What might a new beginning look like?<\/p>\n The other pole in this balancing act is\u00a0Taurus<\/strong>, which\u00a0seeks a healthy relationship with the physical world; the\u00a0Moon in Taurus<\/strong> calls us back to our senses.\u00a0Taurus<\/strong> is often associated with money, but the sign is ultimately about our values, of which money is a subset.<\/p>\n We are invited to\u00a0remember that we are blessed with a miraculous birthday suit, and a beautiful, precious planet — if\u00a0we feel unworthy or empty inside, material objects or accumulations can only serve as a substitute or distraction from the emptiness that comes from forgetting those facts.<\/p>\n Ask yourself:<\/strong>\u00a0What do I spend my time, energy, and money on?\u00a0If this reflected my relationship with myself, what might that mirror show me? Do I feel worthy? Do I value myself? How do I show my value?<\/p>\n Do I seem to struggle with money (accumulating it, keeping it, making the most of it, etc.)? Does money fill an emotional void in my life? Do material objects do that? Or is money simply a tool or an energy exchange for me? How might a shift in perspective help resolve my relationship to money \u2014 and ultimately towards myself?<\/p>\n Taurus<\/strong>\u00a0teaches us about the power of beauty, and about things that make us happy on a physical level — we are also called to develop our talents and sense of self-worth — and are helped to discover and manifest what we truly value and enjoy.<\/p>\n If we are to experience the highest vibration of\u00a0Taurus<\/strong>, a healthy sense of self-worth is critical, so\u00a0ask yourself:<\/strong>\u00a0What matters most to me? What makes me happy, deep down?\u00a0What is in the way of me honoring the physical plane? Of honoring my body? The planet? Physical beauty?<\/p>\n What is between me and feeling valued in the world? What if I was the only one of\u00a0me\u00a0there will ever be? What might my value be then?<\/p>\n In\u00a0Taurus<\/strong>, we discover what we most require, in\u00a0Scorpio<\/strong>, we explore what we most desire… and fear.<\/p>\n The Moon\/Uranus alignment in\u00a0Taurus<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0brings a heightened focus towards our collective understanding of what is valuable, but also to our individual journey of how other people play a part in our ability to value ourselves.<\/p>\n We are invited to connect with like-minded people and learn something new about our unique talents or value to this planet. We are better able to connect to anything that involves beauty, nature, food, creativity, our talents and resources, and practical new applications of those things. As best as you can, be open to receiving feedback from others over the next two weeks.<\/p>\n Ask yourself<\/strong>:\u00a0What revolutionary practices or inventions could I implement in my life that might support my finances, resources, values and make life tangibly more enjoyable for myself and others alike? How might a brainstorming session with like-minded people support my search for greater beauty and enjoyment in my life?<\/p>\n If you experience fear or uncertainty, focus on something you could really get excited about and get behind in a realistic, grounded way — something that could make a difference, something meaningful. We could also be caught off-guard somehow, so stay open-minded and flexible.<\/p>\n Venus (<\/em>the traditional ruler of Taurus) is currently in\u00a0Libra<\/strong>.<\/em> This suggests that the key to loving and valuing ourselves currently lies in the realization that other people in our lives mirror back to us any parts of ourselves we have a hard time loving and valuing.<\/p>\n Ask yourself:<\/strong> What if I saw every one-on-one relationship in my life as an opportunity to learn something about myself? What I like, what I dislike about myself; what I hate, what I love about myself, etc.<\/p>\n Venus in Libra<\/strong> opposes Chiron in\u00a0Aries<\/strong><\/em> at the time of this Full Moon. This asks us to create a balance between the inner healing process of our masculine energies (aggression, assertion, etc), what we identify with, or as, and our ability to relate to another.<\/p>\n Ask yourself:<\/strong> How do my triggers around anger relate to issues in my past? What about my insecurities around assertion? What role does “shame” play in all of this? When does shame show up? Could I give myself permission to feel ashamed, rather than push it aside?<\/p>\n Might my conscious embracing of uncomfortable feelings (like shame) be the most direct road to healing issues around “not being good enough the way I am”? Or the sense that “there is something wrong with me”… How could other people contribute to my healing process at this time?<\/p>\n What if taking a compassionate approach towards myself and what I identify with (or as) actually made for more fulfilling connections with others? How might a humble approach serve my connections and collaborations?<\/p>\n Pluto <\/em>(the modern ruler of\u00a0Scorpio) is currently in\u00a0Capricorn<\/strong>,\u00a0aligns with Saturn and Jupiter.<\/em> This sobering combo is focused on self-responsibility and self-mastery — especially responsibility around social, governmental and economic issues, and self-mastery around our collective limitations and struggles or obstacles.<\/p>\n Ask yourself<\/strong>: Where would I set clear and healthy boundaries, if I were aiming to establish empowering, long-term, business relationships?<\/p>\n The long-term alignment of these slower-moving, planetary bodies has been going on for most of this year, and will come to an end in<\/strong> December<\/strong>, when Jupiter and Saturn will leave Capricorn<\/strong> for good and enter Aquarius<\/strong>.\u00a0This starts a new Jupiter-Saturn cycle<\/em> that will last for the next 20 years.<\/p>\n The new cycle might have a bit of a bumpy start, since Uranus <\/em>(the ruler of Aquarius) will be squaring Jupiter <\/em>and Saturn at the beginning of 2021.<\/em> But ultimately an economic cycle in Aquarius<\/strong> brings lots of new inventions and innovations for the greater good! We will also talk in more detail about this new 20-year cycle on Dec. 6th<\/strong> (our last Forecasting Forum of the year)<\/p>\n I have several videos<\/strong> that you can watch and articles<\/strong> about the Saturn-Pluto-Jupiter alignment in Capricorn<\/strong><\/em>: Mars <\/em>(the traditional ruler of Scorpio) is currently in\u00a0Aries<\/strong><\/em>, exalted <\/em>and still retrograde<\/em> at the time of this Full Moon. This suggests that we are urged to pay attention to how our connection to ourselves, and the things we identify with, will impact the next steps in our lives (especially after Nov. 13th,<\/strong> when Mars ends its 9-week Retrograde phase).<\/p>\n Ask yourself:<\/strong> What has come up for me since July 25th around self-identity or personal passions? What, if anything, have I already revised, reprocessed, or redone since Mars went retrograde back on Sept. 9th?<\/p>\n Again, we will address\u00a0Mars’ shift in direction, which ends its 9-week Retrograde phase<\/em>,\u00a0in more detail in our next Forecasting Forum<\/strong> (live on Nov. 8th)\u2026 and if you’d like to find out how this planet’s transit\u00a0might impact you personally,\u00a0join us!<\/a><\/p>\n If you are a\u00a0Universal<\/strong> Member<\/strong>, you can purchase a\u00a0registration for this month only,<\/a> (again, there is currently an Early Bird Special<\/strong> that is available until Nov. 5th!<\/strong>) or<\/em>\u00a0take the plunge and\u00a0upgrade to Star Membership<\/a>, so you can\u00a0join us every month at no extra charge!<\/p>\n Now, Mars in Aries<\/strong> squares Jupiter in Capricorn<\/strong><\/em> at the time of this Full Moon, asking\u00a0us to take a look at the longer game for society and at our limited beliefs around worldly achievements — it would be wise to understand our long-term strategies before we make a move.<\/p>\n Ask yourself:<\/strong> What if there were a way to honor my desire for a passionate, exciting new beginning on a personal level, while also expanding my perspectives around the longer game for society? What if this could also be combined with honoring my quest for a socially responsible way of life? And what if that way of life could feel exciting and sustainable for all?<\/p>\n With this combo, we feel an inner restlessness which demands freedom and “space” but doesn’t necessarily return the favor. We may have a tendency to overdo or over-exert — and our expectations of ourselves and others might be way too high.<\/p>\n Ask yourself:<\/strong> What might open up if I expected 5% less of myself, just for today? What if I applied that to others too? Might my physical and mental energy levels help me be realistic about how much I can expect of myself right now?<\/p>\n
