TAURUS – I Have / I Manifest
Taurus is the master
manifestor of the zodiac, they have the ability to get whatever they want and
we can learn from their example.
Hardworking, loving,
funny, with an earthy sense of humour, they make great parents and wonderful
friends. They are stable, solid and make
everyone feel secure. They are sensual, intelligent and usually good at
whatever they turn their hand to. They
are renowned gardeners, cooks, crafters, artists, musicians, architects etc. They live life to the full.
Lovely, down to earth
Taureans enjoy indulging their senses, they love good food (and wine!), they
love good quality and expect it (they love Egyptian cotton sheets, silk, leather,
anything that is well made and good quality).
They expect good service.
The only thing they
need to watch out for is that they get bored very quickly and want to cut and
run and try something new/go somewhere new. However, this can cause them a lot
of problems. They need to be patient with themselves and not cut and run, but
to wait and see how things develop further down the line. That’s Taurean
bullishness at its worst; stubborn as heck but eventually they get it.
Check which house Taurus is in on your Natal chart, as
this is the house most impacted by this Full Moon – what completion/s have you
accomplished that are related to this house?
Energies
These certainly are
interesting times. With the veil so thin between the
worlds, much is being revealed to us now.
What was hidden is being shown.
This can be painful at times for it can
show us the hidden agendas of others.
Those we thought were friends do not in fact understand us at all and we
need to let go of them. This can be
painful and make you feel lonely. Please
remember that you are never alone, you are surrounded by Spirit and your Guides,
who love you and always have your best interests at heart. They no longer want you wasting your energy
on those who are not truly worthy of it.
Conserve your energy for yourself, and give yourself time to grieve another
ending. Give yourself time to heal and integrate and then your pathway will be
clear for those who do understand you to come in.
This is typical Samhain energy. As the Earth cools and Nature sheds and
decomposes, we too shed and allow decomposition of what has outlived its
usefulness. In Traditional Chinese
Medicine, the emotion for Autumn is Grief, so it is natural to feel sad from
time to time during the Autumn Moons.*
This Samhain/Hallowe’en Full Moon is
ideal for allowing this type of healing process, and by the time the New Moon
comes around in a couple of weeks, you will be in a better place - especially
emotionally - to create your New Moon (and New Year for Witches) Wish List.
*Flower and Vibrational Essences are
fantastic for supporting you during these times.
Our ‘Grief’ essence is for times of
loss, sadness and grief. It supports you
emotionally without interfering in your process. It is a wonderful ally and is very popular with
our clients for when they go through these times. You can find it here:
Now it is the Samhain Full Moon and a
time for magick and celebration. And it
is in glorious Taurus, if anyone knows how to celebrate it is Taurus! So you may be drawn to doing some kitchen
witchen’ and cooking up some delicious delights to share with those you love
for Hallowe’en. Plus it’s gonna be a
sexy Samhain, Full Moons are always about completion, feasting, debating and
mating, this one in Taurus brings us earthy, sexy energy for us to enjoy.
Preparing
for Samhain / Hallowe’en
More than just an
excuse for a party, this ancient festival signals the final of the three Autumn
festivals. Samhain is a
Gaelic word meaning Summer’s end. The harvesting is complete;
it is time for thanksgiving and remembrance.
Foods to include in
your celebration at this time:
Apples, spiced cider,
pumpkin and other root vegetables, Barmbrack (traditional for Samhain), Nuts,
Seeds.
Herbs – the most
important one is Rosemary to honour the Ancestors. Add it to the foods you are cooking and burn
it as incense. (Cleansing, space clearing, honouring). Cinnamon, Cloves, Sage,
Mugwort.
And have you put away
all of your summer clothes and summer things? This is important to do before
going into Samhain/Hallowe’en, particularly this year with the powerful Full
Moon.
In the build up to this
Full Moon, many folks were busy doing just that, as well as clearing out stuff
from the attics, garages, sheds, cupboards, wardrobes etc. Really getting to the back of cupboards and
sorting old boxes of stuff. Wonderful! Definitely making way for the new to
come in. Samhain is also the
Witches/Pagan New Year.

- Use your besom
(Witches’ Broom) to sweep out the old.
- Use incense at your
front door and back door to welcome in your Ancestors to feast and celebrate
with you.
- Look up at the night
sky and include Grandmother Moon in your celebrations, She has been working
hard to bring you insights and answers in your dreamtime.
- As well as decorating
the house, create an Ancestors Altar. Pictures of your loved ones who have
passed over, candles, a small glass or two, seasonal flowers/leaves with a
sprig of Rosemary, a small plate. It
doesn’t have to be big; I use tiny glasses and plates. On Samhain light their candle, fill their
glasses and place some food on their plate. Look at the pictures and talk to
them, remember them. They are very close to us at this time, because the veil
between the worlds is so thin. It’s okay to cry, they understand. Remember that
they still love you, they are still looking out for you and they will support
you in whatever way they can from wherever they are.
- Share your harvest,
your food and drinks made with love, with those you love. Immerse yourself in
the abundance and magickal energies of this time.
- Feast well – love
deeply – dream powerfully.
A Witch is
for life not just Hallowe’en
And there are times
when everyday Witches need some support in their every day lives. That’s when they can rely on The Witches’
Friend!

Hallowe’en
FULL MOON/Samhain Supermoon in TAURUS
Artist: ©Ron Byrum
This Full Moon is right
bang smack in our face telling us that yes, you CAN have it all! The time for doubt is over; the time for
making it happen is now. The time for
allowing it to happen is now. How
allowing are you?
This is the last
Supermoon of the year, it has been a year of strong Supermoons, and this is the
final push, the final nudge to get us on track and where we need to be. The recent Eclipse season certainly pulled
the wool from our eyes and we are clearer about who we are and what we want for
ourselves, than we ever have been before.
Earthy Taurus is using
its horns to push us into making what has felt intangible – tangible. Giving us
grounding energy to help us make things happen for ourselves. Ideas have to come out of the ethers, to be
embodied and grounded in this dimension in order for them to manifest.
I am a typical eclectic
creative, a thousand ideas a day float through my mind, it takes discipline to
pull them down to this dimension and make them happen. And that is what is being asked of us by this
Full Moon.
This Moon is
supercharged, we are being given a turbo blast of positive energy to ground our
ideas and send them out into the world.
Another problem with
creatives, is that they get so involved in the creation process that they
sometimes find it hard to let go of, and birth their ‘babies’ into the world.
Practical Taurus butts us and says, “get over yourself and get on with it,
someone else needs that more than you.”
Taurus energy is
grounding, it makes us feel more secure and safe, a solid foundation to take
off from. If recent energies made you
feel spacey, Taurus helps you to regain focus and once more steer yourself in
the right direction.
Taureans are usually
great gardeners, so let go of the old dreams/projects that have had their day
and bury them deep in the earth, use the compost from them to provide the
energy for the dreams and projects that will work, that have GO! written all
over them. Allow yourself to trust in steady, calm Taurus to guide you over the
coming Winter moons, to lay matters to rest, to compost outmoded thinking
including old resentments and feelings of failure, bury them deep in the Earth
Mother. Together with Autumn Woman She
will turn the them into something beautiful and useful, ready for the Spring
Moons when the energy is right for you to move forward with your dreams,
projects and goals. There is always a season for flowering, there is always a
season for letting go, and there is always a season for rest before we can
start again.
On an inner level, we
can use these gardening analogies to reshape our internal landscape as well as
our external landscape.
- What do you need to
let go of now?
- How do you want to
change?
- What nudges/signals
have you been getting towards this
change?
It’s a time to listen
and to move slowly and carefully as we bring about internal change. And ensuring
that we look after ourselves as well as a Taurean mother/sister/aunt/friend
would look after us. Allow your Soul to
be your guide.
Taurus rules the base
chakra – our material needs – what we need, want, desire. The Sun is in
Scorpio, Scorpio brings up our fears around money and our material needs – what
we are convinced we can’t have, might never have. This creates an inner conflict where our higher
mind knows we are perfectly capable of having exactly what we want, but our
lower ego mind is convinced otherwise.
Astrologer, Jessica
Shepherd, summed this conflict up perfectly:
“This is exactly how the two work together -- when we are
flooded by the terrors of being in this world, Taurus says, "Hey, you're
still alive. You're in a body and safe. So what's for dinner?"
Taurus tells us to relax, chill out, it will all sort itself out, so
in the meantime you may as well look after yourself with some yummy food and
curl up in front of the fire.
To know how
this New Moon may affect you, here’s an insight for your Sun Sign by the
wonderful Chani Nicolas (www.ChaniNicolas.com):
ARIES / Aries rising
Tuesday’s full moon makes use of your recent efforts to
stabilize any issues that you have around self worth, self-esteem and valuing
your own efforts. It’s also got some
money-magnet-magic, in preparation for it you might want to make a donation.
And then ritually allow more in. Open the doors, open the windows, open your
awareness to your experience, your thoughts and what you have been fed about
having enough. You are enough. Period.
TAURUS / Taurus rising
You are unfolding, exhaling and unwinding from a time
that asked too much of you in some ways. From a time that might have pushed at
you with too sharp a poker and too stern a consequence. From that time to this
one. From there to here. You can relax a moment. You can celebrate the skin
that you are in. Tuesday’s full moon finds comfort in your sign. This full moon
might highlight your efforts, it might shine its silvery light on your
achievements and it might reveal your visions as real plans in the making
instead of far off flights of fancy. Whatever the case allow your self to
be seen, allow your efforts to get noticed, allow your generosity to overflow
so that others might benefit too.
GEMINI / Gemini rising
There is no better way to celebrate Tuesday’s full moon
than to take off and try to take it all down a notch. Get low. Get lost. Get
off the grid. Let yourself decompress and say yes to a Netflix marathon, a
napping triathlon or a trip to the spa. Use Tuesday’s full moon to remind
yourself of the simple and sublime truth that doing is done better when we
first allow ourselves to be for a moment.
CANCER / Cancer rising
Tuesday’s full moon highlights your connections with
friends and allies of all kinds. It might be that a part of your work gets a
boost through those that support it. It might be a reunion of sorts with the
friends that help you feel like you are lucky just because they are around. It
might be that a little parcel of helpful hope leaps onto your lap and you have
no choice but to listen to its wisdom. Tuesday’s full moon reminds you that
what is truly luxurious is to have comrades and to remember to take the time to
connect to them.
LEO / Leo rising
Tuesday’s full moon shines a magnificent spotlight on
your recent career efforts. Tuesday’s full moon shines like a disco ball on the
dance floor of your determination. Tuesday’s full moon is like a cosmic
congratulations on the work that you have done. Slice up the cake and share it.
This full moon wants to get you noticed. This full moon wants to bring
fulfillment. This full moon wants you to feel the weight of your
accomplishments and how that reflects the sturdiness of your career strides or
the ways in which you have started to recently move through the
world. Remember where you came from. Remember where you started from.
Remind yourself of all you’ve come through. Remember all it takes to do what
you do. It’s not nothing. It’s not at all nothing. It’s actually quite
something.
VIRGO / Virgo rising
Tuesday’s full moon wants to inspire all kinds of
insights. You might astral travel like there is no tomorrow. You might
boogie-woogie till dawn with all kinds of sprites, spirits and specters. You
might be moved to get out and wander past your bedtime and past your usual
boundary. You might be inspired to build out some part of your belief system
that you know helps to ground you. Make what you believe in real. This is a
grand moment for you, astrologically speaking. Tuesday’s full moon is here to
remind you that you are more spacious, more vast and more capable of following
your inner compass than you might currently believe yourself to be.
LIBRA / Libra rising
Tuesday’s full moon celebrates the successes of certain
collaborations. It isn’t easy to join forces with others. Success means that we
are able to steady ourselves as issues arise. This full moon brings you
evidence of your success but also the need to remember your intention for
coming together with others. Make your
intention the foundation, the center, the altar you worship at. If you realize
that you are intention-less at this point, use this new moon to meditate on
what the most important foundation for you to have could be. Then claim it as
your own.
SCORPIO / Scorpio rising
Tuesday’s full moon highlights the importance of
approaching the experience of loving another with your own anchor intact. It
might highlight how far you’ve come in this area. How many potholes and
pathways you have trotted down in search of something
sustainable. Tuesday’s full moon helps you to see the successes, the
triumphs and the totality of what it takes for you to love somebody, the way
only you can love them. Tuesday’s full moon wants you to be seen and to see
that you are. See your reflection in the eyes of those you get to gaze upon.
Tuesday’s full moon might bring connections into your life that feel solid and
sturdy. Tuesday’s full moon might give you the opportunity to show up for
another as a well-built base camp for them to land.
SAGITTARIUS / Sagittarius
rising
Tuesday’s full moon highlights the needs of your
physical well-being and being in touch with your body, its beauty and its
temperament. Put yourself to bed early. Go out for a run. Eat until you are
full. Pay attention to what it is telling you. This moon can get you back in
touch with how to prioritize your physical needs. Tuesday’s full moon also
brings light to your professional progress. Something might occur this week
that will help your efforts go the extra mile. Some connections might coalesce
that can help give your work a boost and your profile a promotion. Some
experience might unfold that brings clarity to the kind of effort you put into
your work, effort that you might take for granted.
CAPRICORN / Capricorn rising
Tuesday’s full moon highlights your love life or your
love of life. Tuesday’s full moon is full on romantic. Tuesday’s full moon
might be tugging at your heart strings, serenading you and casting you in the
most adoring light. Take. It. In. Seriously. Let yourself be loved. Say thank
you to everyone around you. Refuse no compliment. Consider each one. Give
thanks for the slightest sweetness. Offer it in return, but mean it. Think on
it. Slow down enough to feel how it feels to give of your good energy and
receive it. Give of your good energy and receive it.
You owe yourself this much. You owe yourself every ounce
of patience and persistence you can muster. You owe yourself the willingness to
love and be loved in return.
AQUARIUS / Aquarius rising
Your roots are showing. Your baseline. Your bottom line.
Your foundation and your family issues too. Your needs are showing, and so is
your capacity to show up for them. Tuesday’s full moon makes this clear. All of
the work that you have done. All of the ways in which you have been able to
take care of your needs, all of the ways in which you have been able to address
your fears, all of the ways in which you have been able to help yourself settle
and all of the ways in which you have been able to choose yourself first are
being made explicitly clear now. Buy the cashmere throw, some good linens, a
plush towel or a single rose to place in your space as a reminder of how sacred
it is and how well you have learned to love your it as a reflection of
yourself.
PISCES / Pisces rising
Tuesday’s full moon brings to light conversations that
help to ground you. Tuesday’s full moon is urging you to have those
conversations with yourself. Tuesday’s full moon is tempting you to plan next
spring’s community garden, block party or holiday gift exchange. Tuesday’s full
moon might be calling for the calming effects of healing a long-standing issue
with a friend, partner, sibling or a neighbor. Bring your patience to the table
if you are sitting down to sort it out. Bring the wisdom of the seasons with
you. See that every relationship has its own rhythm, its own flow, its own way
it needs to go.
