Taurus-Scorpio Full Moon

Taurus-Scorpio Full Moon - Awakening

"But, instead of what our imagination makes us suppose and which we worthless try to discover, life gives us something that we could hardly imagine."

— Marcel Proust

This week is dominated by the powerful Taurus-Scorpio Full Moon on Wednesday morning (9:45 PM PDT 1° Taurus/Scorpio) with the Moon closely conjunct Uranus — which has been sometimes termed the 'cosmic alarm clock'. The Sun's entrance into Scorpio and subsequent inferior conjunction with the retrograding Venus signals a shift in relationship dynamics and our overall value systems. This is a week to expect the unexpected. Surprising twists could leave us completely at a loss if we don't maintain a heightened level of detachment. We need to stay alert so we don't miss valuable opportunities just because we don't find what we expect to find. The forming Jupiter-Chiron trine (from Scorpio to Pisces) offers a deeply philosophical perspective and well grounded intuitive insights. As Uranus rides the cusp between Taurus and Aries, we may find that our egos are on the line when our determination doesn't quite seem to be enough to get us to where we think we want to go. However, just because it may not look like what we expect, there are still more developments to come. Uranus makes one more dip back into Aries, where it was in the early Spring of this year and we will have continuing opportunities to re-examine the initiatives that we began at that time. We are learning new approaches to building alliances and have an opportunity to begin rebuilding relationships on new terms. Rather than remain overly concerned over not finding what we expect, we need to pay attention to what we do find and look for value in unexpected places.

We will find important clues to the coming surprise twists on Sunday. Details begin to point us in new directions. Intuition is strong, heading into Monday. Empathy is also strong but we may need to be cautious about becoming overly concerned about the plight or feelings of others. The Sun arrives in Scorpio on Tuesday. We begin to find some reassurance that we can negotiate from a position of strength. However, we are still acutely aware of any weaknesses. We can expect some surprises on Wednesday under the Taurus-Scorpio Full Moon. We'll need to keep our cool and look for opportunities in unexpected places. We gain some welcome, philosophical perspectives on Thursday that help us to make sense of the week's surprising twists. Look for ways to make 'stepping stones out of stumbling blocks' on Friday. Saturday begins with some murky internal fog which slowly clears as the Moon approaches a trine to Mars — bringing increasing confidence.
