October 2023 Taurus Full Moon/ Lunar Eclipse

5 Taurus 09
Written by Cari Campbell

The full Moon occurs at 4:24pm, EDT, at 5 Taurus. Venus rules this lunation and Venus is currently being disposed by Chiron (Venus is in Virgo). This is also a lunar eclipse, which means there is great emotional wholing available right now.

The term “wholing” versus “healing” seems much more fitting to how you can work with your emotions. Ultimately, you can Love and accept yourself as you are, instead of rejecting parts of yourself that “feels” a certain way that you don’t want to feel. When you bring all parts of yourself back home to your heart, you are whole. That is the work of Chiron in your lives. All parts of yourself want to be acknowledged and accepted.

Something very interesting about this lunar event is that all major planetary bodies are in either Earth or Water signs! This could feel heavy, intense, or overwhelming, but it can also be very grounding. Water and Earth constitute the feminine signs. That reveals that no matter how intense things get, the real potential here is that the movement of your emotions (water) can free you from something that has seemed immovable (earth). Alternatively, your emotions can be nourishing something that you hold dear and want to ground.

The Taurus stellium includes the Moon, Jupiter, and Uranus (both retrograde) while the Scorpio stellium includes Haumea, the Sun, Mercury, Mars, and Ceres. It’s a very interesting play between your desires in the physical, material world (Taurus) and metaphysical transformation (Scorpio). Ultimately it is the alchemy that can deliver you to your heart’s desires. So what do you really want? What is showing up for you right now that is calling you out of your comfort zone? And where are you keeping yourself small, playing it safe, and possibly finding yourself stuck? Taurus and Scorpio are both fixed signs, so it is
useful at this time to pay attention to where we may be resistant to moving past your current limits. Is that serving you right now?

This is the last eclipse on the Taurus/Scorpio axis until 2031. The Nodes are stationing and the Soul Star (North Node) is still in communion (conjunct) with Eris. Additionally, the intersection (T-square) with Pluto is still very much active, so there is an important, rare choice to be made.

Venus is in Virgo, the sign of the Divine Mother. 

This is what Stephanie writes about Virgo in the 5D:

In 5D, Virgo is known as ‘The Divine Mother’, the Divine Feminine Creator of all. As such, Virgo is a progenitor sign, it represents Mother Mary. The purpose of every Virgo is to purify the heart so fully that it can birth the Christed (Self-Realized) Self. Chiron, the Master Healer/Teacher, serves Virgo well in this purifying capacity. It is service to others that becomes the main motivating force for Virgo. In 5D, The alignment of your own spirit, mind, heart and body is where your focus needs to be. When you make use of your healing wisdom to remember that you are whole, you become the natural “wholer” of all. A soul who is whole serves as the example for all to realize their own state of wholeness. What is clear is that there is a great opportunity, with Venus in Virgo, to whole our heart. From that place, we can clearly identify our heart’s desires and then move forward with whatever opportunities this Full Moon/Eclipse brings your way. Don’t resist the transformation and see what gifts await you on the other side!

Many blessings!

6 Aries 00

The Full Moon occurs at 5:57 am EDT on September 29 th , at 6 degrees Aries. That means this lunation is disposed by Mars. Mars, interestingly enough, sits in Libra (the same sign as the Sun right now), in a new cycle (conjunct) with the Earth Star (South Node), and bridging (opposing) the Soul Star (North Node), Eris, and Chiron in Aries.

Mercury, Venus/Juno, Mars/S. Node, Uranus, Pluto, Soul Star (N. Node)/Eris, are all between 20-27 degrees of their respective signs. There is simply so much going on here and it’s all connected. This lunation is ripe with opportunity for healing. Before we get into this, let’s discuss the Moon.

The Moon and the Sun are at 6 degrees Aries and Libra. The Sun is approaching a new cycle (conjunct) with Pallas Athena and MakeMake, and the Moon is approaching a new cycle with Salacia. The only major planet that is aspecting the Full Moon is Saturn retrograde at 2 degrees Pisces in intimacy (semisextile) with the Moon and forming a great eliminator (inconjunct) with the Sun. MakeMake is the higher octave of Saturn, providing an opportunity to transcend your Saturn limitations and govern your Self from the Heart. This is the time to allow your emotions to guide you to what you truly want for your Self…not what you *think* you want. What stories have you told your Self about how your life should look? This could be about your job, finances, how your day-to-day lives should be run…now what does your higher Self (MakeMake) say? What feels good and right?

Because the Full Moon isn’t directly making contacting with the other major planets and involves new cycles with 5D planets, it is a time to go inward and access your higher wisdom. Meditate, dance, walk, do breath work, whatever helps you access that Divine part of you. The Sun and the Moon are highlighting something different, and that will lead you outside of the box you have put yourself in and onto the path of your higher Heart.

Speaking of the heart, let’s get back to Venus. She is conjunct Juno and is making her third and final stepping stone (square) to Uranus in Taurus. The last two stepping stones occurred on July 2 nd /3 rd and August 9 th . Can you connect any themes from these days, or did anything happen that sent a shockwave to your heart? What cycle are you ready to complete now? Venus is a big part of what we value, and also how we see and Love ourselves. What has shifted for you along those lines?

What about Mars forming a new cycle with the Earth Star, in a bridge with the Soul Star, Eris and Chiron? Mars is in Libra, the sign of the mirrored self. This bridge is likely activating our core wounds and it’s important to understand that whatever is painful (Chiron/Eris in Aries) is a reflection. Anything that triggers you at this time is useful information that you are meant to focus back on your Self for integration. Remember that Mars disposes Aries and this Full Moon- take care not to project onto others or take action from a triggered place. With Mars approaching a new cycle with the Earth Star, watch for the tendency to repeat old behaviors in relationships. There is a balance here that can be found, and the inner turmoil is showing you a new path (Eris/Soul Star new cycle).

Venus/Juno are also manifesting with the Soul Star and Eris and in resource with Mars so again, pay attention to your heart. Which path leads to more Self-Love? How can you use any reflections (Mars in Libra) to move towards the path of your higher Heart? Your committed partnerships (Juno) likely provide insight here.

To add more nuance to all of this, Venus/Juno and Mars/Earth Star are forming a Finger of God with Neptune! Focus on your dreams, and how you want to achieve them. Don’t get lost in the fog. If you are confused, ask your higher Self for clarity. Focus on what you want your life to look like a few years from now, and then work back towards whatever actions, values and beliefs will put you in alignment with your dreams.

And finally, Venus/Juno is forming a great eliminator with Pluto while Mars is approaching a stepping stone with Pluto (exact on Oct 8 th ). The Nodes are continuing their stepping stone dance with Pluto as well. Something is ready for transformation- the stepping stone to Mars is likely providing enough friction to inspire you to action. Again, listen to your Heart. The great eliminator implies that it is time to let something go so you can have a re-birth. Maybe it’s a repeating pattern in the way you show up in
relationships, or certain triggers around your wounds are causing you to close your heart instead of diving deep into the hurt and listening to what your pain wants to tell you.

This is an action-oriented full Moon, and it’s all about taking Heart-led action. Take some time to really be present with yourself and your emotions so that you can get in touch with what you truly want and need, and then from that higher vantage point you can take action.
