The Full Moon in Taurus November 5th

Full Moons always illuminate a polarity. In this case, the Sun in Scorpio represents intimate dynamics, power and transformation, while the Moon in Taurus anchors us back into the body, the earth, the tangible. We are asked to reconcile desire and security, passion and patience. Taurus, the second sign of the zodiac, is a symbol for the body, beauty, and self-worth. In Taurus, we experience reality through the medium of materials and the senses; we learn to develop a relationship with what belongs to us. We have needs, desires, and physical bodies. We develop taste and values, and become focused on security and the acquisition of physical stability.
Taurus is ruled by Venus, the planet of magnetism, pleasure, and our effect on physical matter. Through the dance of the Sun (I am), the Moon (I feel), and Mercury (I think and speak), Venus is born, she reminds us that our attention, thoughts, and words can shape the physical world. In Taurus, this principle is amplified. The more we focus on what we value, the more we draw it toward us.
But the Sun in Scorpio is illuminating where our dynamics with others are impacting what we attract. Perhaps, we’ve absorbed things that are at odds with what we want. If we feel undervalued or like our needs aren't getting met, this Full Moon illuminates where action must be taken.
Here, we are forced to examine circumstances where we were pulled out of our self-ownership because of the energy we took on from others. Scorpio represents how we share energy, where we merge and meld into others through intimacy, inheritance and trauma. This is a celestial untethering from those that keep us in stories of low self worth. It may be that we are realizing our needs differ from our close counterparts, and perhaps we took on the energy of ohers as a means to experience closeness. Something is being illuminated here in terms of how we need to return to our own bodies, revisit our energetic meridians, and DECORD from unhealthy power dynamics.
A square between Venus and Pluto challenges us to reconcile two very different energies: Venus in Libra’s desire for companionship and ease, and Pluto in Aquarius’ desire for freedom, truth, and transformation. This could bring up some conflict between what we think we need in relationships versus what we actually need on a deeper, more transformational level (Pluto in Aquarius’ independence, change, and rethinking). As always with squares between Pluto, our desires are secondary to the forces of collective evolution, and sometimes we have to relinquish control. You might feel pulled between nurturing what’s familiar and breaking free into the unknown. This isn't a time to dwell on past hurts or instances where we felt our worth was undervalued, but instead, focus firmly on a clearer future. Pluto in Aquarius teaches us that sometimes, our friends, counterparts, and even communities mirror our unconscious beliefs about ourselves.
This Full Moon is asking us to make space for new frequencies of pleasure, valuing your body, your worth, and your presence.
Aries and Aries Rising
Themes: Values, Self-Worth, and Income
Have you been chasing validation outside yourself, pouring energy into partnerships, projects, or situations that don’t actually give back? If so, this lunation highlights the imbalance.
Your worth isn’t up for debate, but the ways you’ve been handling money, possessions, or self-esteem may come under review. This is a moment to stop discounting your worth, both in relationships and in the tangible ways you earn a living. Financial insights may surface, an overdue realization about how you’re spending, or a revelation about what you need to feel secure. But beneath the practical layer, there’s a deeper initiation here: to return to your body, to treat your time, skills, and presence like currency. The challenge is not to get pulled back into old stories of scarcity or to let someone else’s energy dictate your value.
Taurus and Taurus Rising
Themes: Identity, Embodiment and Self-Improvement
This is your Full Moon, and it’s asking you to stand unapologetically in your body and your power. You’ve been through months of change, but this lunation pulls you back into your needs. It's time to make your presence, desires and boundaries known. What version of you no longer fits? What are you ready to shed? This is a glow-up moment, not in the superficial sense, but in the reclamation of your worth. How you carry yourself, how you speak, how you choose to show up: all of it radiates from the inside out. Think less about proving your value and more about embodying it.
Gemini and Gemini Rising
Themes: Rest, Seclusion and Spirituality
The Taurus Full Moon glows in the hidden corners of your chart, illuminating the subconscious patterns and energy leaks that quietly drain you. Old stories around worth or intimacy may surface, especially ones you’ve absorbed from others. This is your cosmic cue to retreat, reset, and sever ties with dynamics that keep you stuck in low frequency loops. The medicine? Rest. Solitude. Silence. By clearing the noise, you’ll find clarity and reconnect with your own rhythm.
Cancer and Cancer Rising
Themes: Friendship, Future Wishes and Belonging
You may realize which friendships or communities truly support your growth and which ones weigh heavy on your energy. Expect revelations about belonging and the role you play in collective spaces. This lunation asks you to prune your circle, invest in quality connections, and honor the groups that reflect your values. When you feel held by your people, your sense of worth expands naturally.
Leo and Leo Rising
Themes: Professional and Public Life
This Taurus Full Moon illuminates your professional path, your public image, and how others perceive your worth. Recognition may arrive, or you may feel the urge to redefine success on your own terms. Have you been chasing validation through status or titles? This lunation invites you to align your ambitions with your values, so the success you build actually nourishes you. Authority comes when your outer life mirrors your inner truth.
Virgo and Virgo Rising
Themes: Beliefs, Faith and Higher Learning
This Full Moon stretches your gaze beyond the details and into the horizon. A belief or philosophy you have relied on may no longer feel alive, and something new is calling your attention. This lunation wants you to step outside your comfort zone and remember that growth does not come from control but from trust. Travel, study, or spiritual exploration could play a role, but the real work is in letting your mind and spirit expand. Your worth is not measured in constant productivity but in how you engage with the larger story of your life. Curiosity and pleasure are your teachers now, guiding you toward a more grounded sense of faith.
Libra and Libra Rising
Themes: Intimacy and Transformation
This lunation highlights your deeper entanglements, whether they are financial, sexual, or emotional. You may see clearly where you’ve been giving too much, or where intimacy has become tangled with power dynamics. Taurus asks you to reclaim your boundaries and self-possession. This is about choosing closeness that nourishes, not drains. On a practical level, money owed or debts shared may surface. But the deeper story is one of sovereignty: returning to your body and remembering that your energy is precious currency.
Scorpio and Scorpio Rising
Themes: Partnership and Collaborative Relationships
With the Moon opposite your Sun, this is a relationship spotlight. Dynamics with partners—romantic, platonic, or professional—come into focus. Where have you merged too much? Where have you abandoned yourself to keep the peace? The Taurus Full Moon asks you to return to your own center, even as you honor the bonds that matter. Partnerships now reveal whether they’re built on authentic value or on compromise that costs too much. Choose reciprocity.
Sagittarius and Sagittarius Rising
Themes: Health and Routines
his Full Moon pulls your focus to the everyday rhythms that support your body and energy. Your routines, work habits, and physical wellbeing are illuminated.

Your worth is reflected in how you treat your body and how you structure your days. Release the chaos; honor the practices that help you thrive.
Capricorn and Capricorn Rising
Themes: Creativity, Play and Romance
The Taurus Full Moon is a love note to your fifth house of joy. Romance, art, and play all glow under its light. This is your reminder that pleasure is not frivolous—it’s vital.

The Moon invites you to take pleasure seriously, to invest in love and creativity as sacred expressions of worth.
Aquarius and Aquarius Rising
Themes: Family and Foundations
Scorpio season has pulled you into collective dramas, but the Taurus Moon reminds you that stability begins in your foundations. Family dynamics or ancestral patterns may surface now, especially where they’ve shaped your sense of security. The invitation is to create a sanctuary that feels like yours alone, not borrowed or inherited. By tending to your physical space, by grounding in rituals that soothe, you stabilize yourself for the transformation ahead. Home is not just where you live, it’s the frequency you hold in your body.
Pisces and Pisces Rising
Themes: Communication and Conscious Thinking
This lunation spotlights your words, your voice, and the connections you weave. Pay attention to conversations, messages, and ideas that surface now—they may reveal where your values align (or clash) with others. If you’ve been swallowing your truth to keep harmony, this Full Moon asks you to speak plainly. Communication is currency, and your words carry weight. Use them to shape reality, affirm your worth, and build connections rooted in clarity.
