Natural Chart / Whole Houses 

A Full Moon occurs when the Sun and Moon occupy the same degree of opposite signs. As you can see from the chart above the Moon is in 16° Taurus and the Sun is in 16° Scorpio making this a Full Moon

The Big Picture

The Sun is transiting the area of the chart that rules over shared resources, while the Taurus Full Moon is strengthening our sense of self-worth and personal values. So there is a dynamic here of what is ours versus what is mine. In the natural chart, Taurus is aligned with the second house which is a succedent house. A Full Moon in a succedent house highlights our sense of security and what we need in order to feel secure in our lives.

A Full Moon in Taurus and the 2nd house would indicate a need to (re)evaluate our sense of self-worth and personal values. We may even find that our individual values do not mesh well with the values of those around us. You may feel that someone is trying to control you or change you in a way that you do not wish to be controlled or changed.

This is a good time to pay off any debts. You can indulge yourself more and, unless you exercise moderation, there is danger of eating more for pleasure that out of need leading to gluttony; or spending too much money on unnecessary item.

The Full Moon is making an exact conjunction to Transit Uranus. With this type of aspect people's emotions can be more erratic and unpredictable. They may feel more unconventional and rebellious. Intuition may be more acute and they can pick up more psychic cues on a subconscious level.

How to Work with Full Moon in Taurus Energy

• Ascertain the natal house influenced by the Full Moon in Taurus
• Check for aspects between the Full Taurus Moon and planets in your Natal Chart.
• Draw up a budget for yourself that you can stick to. Figure out what you can do without or don't need anymore. For example, I have a Netflix account but rarely use it, so I may consider canceling the account.
• Open a savings account or a 401K. If you already have either of these, review your contribution amount to see if you can increase how much you save or invest. Ask you company about matching contributions.
• Purchase homeowners or renter's insurance.
• Exercise more patience
• Make a list of those personal values (loyalty, honesty, etc. )  that are important to you and strive to nurture and emulate those qualities in yourself.
• Make an inventory of your personal valuables and put this list in a safe place.
• Rather than buy new things to make you feel better or to keep up with the Joneses, learn to appreciate what you have.
• As far as possible, without creating a financial hardship for yourself, pay off a debt.
• If you have debt. call your lender and see if you can re-negotiate your interest rate.

Example

To better understand how the Full Moon in Taurus will affect you, you need to look at the house that Taurus occupies in your Natal, or birth, Chart.  For example, in my Natal Chart, Taurus is in the 7th house of relationships. A full moon in the 7th house will highlight issues of relationships. Whereas a New Moon brings something new into your life, a Full Moon can often bring endings and completion. With the Full Moon in the Taurus and the 7th House, you can re-evaluate your personal values as it pertains to the relationships in your life. It is possible that a relationship could end or a new one can begin.  This is also a good time to give your partner a little more space in the relationship, allow them to grow and shine on their own.

Aspects

Another thing you will want to look at is aspects, or the relationships between planets. For instance, if the transit Full Moon is in 16° Taurus and your Natal Mars is in 9° Taurus, then the Moon is said to be separating a conjunction to Mars. Under this aspect, your need for adventure is heightened. You can be prone to accidents now when you act on emotions and instincts without stopping to think first. Your routine brings frustration instead of satisfaction and you want to do something different and exciting. . You can be more aggressive towards other people. Relationships can suffer disruptions.
