Each of us, in our Taurus planets or house, possesses the sorcery of benign neglect. In some part of your life, you know how to make things grow, how to support life without smothering it, and to comfort those who are fearful….
The post Full Moon in Taurus: The Sorcery of Benign Neglect appeared first on Big Sky Astrology with April Kent.
The October 24th Full Moon (1 deg Taurus) conjoins Uranus Rx, so you know this ending/result is going to be a tad disruptive.
Uranus always brings a surprise or liberation, although it may be less so with a Full Moon because this is a result – it’s not coming out of nowhere. Moon/Uranus opposes Venus Rx in Scorpio (which conjoins the Sun) and Venus rules this Moon. So the surprise will involve relationships, money or values with an emphasis on what’s best for you – what contributes to or undermines your security.
Venus in Scorpio has already opposed Uranus once (September 12th, 2018) and now she’s Rx and doing it again. (although technically her second opposition won’t be exact until October 31st). So this really is a repeat – you’ve been here before. You’ve heard the call to liberation before.
It could be a disruptive ending or an unexpected (and beneficial) gift. You never know with Uranus, although the hints have been laid out since September 12th.
What’s more, this Full Moon/Venus/Uranus will square the South Node in Aquarius and North Node in Leo. A square to the Nodes means this is a pivotal issue. Again, you’ve been here before and had an opportunity to turn this corner. Venus previously squared the Nodes on September 16th, and while her next, exact square square won’t be until October 30th the energy is still part of this Full Moon. Something you wanted/loved either kept you from moving forward or you needed to manifest it so you could move forward. Think back to September. How did your values support or block your progress? Can you carry what you want forward, or would it be better to cut that cord?
South Node in Aquarius is the past – moving on from detachment, alienation, rebellion to the future (North Node) which is about finding your center in an area that makes you proud. The rulers of the Nodes (Sun and Uranus) oppose each other, which means this is a significant crossroads – you’re at the point where you can choose to step into the light (the place where you have pride) or you can stay on the edge and remain detached. North Node in Leo asks you to care about yourself, your talents and your audience. It’s not “cool” or laid back but sometimes you have to step up and put yourself out there.
But there is a note of stability, and that’s Saturn in Capricorn making a trine to the Moon and Uranus. You can integrate these changes if you follow the rules or apply the focus. Uranus and Saturn means new rules but the trine delivers them in a natural manner. The key is focus, focus, focus – you must apply some sort of discipline to what’s happening. Do your work.
There’s an intense need for balance this week, under the karmic Libra New Moon on Monday October 8. With a craving for fairness and making things right, we’ll feel encouraged to start a new beginning, a start-up project or perhaps create a fresh approach to an unresolved situation. As an inner restlessness occurs, imagination will […]
Hi there, hope you had an enjoyable weekend! The lovely Moon is returning back to her natural home in comfy Cancer on Monday October 1, encouraging us to settle into domestication and creative moods. With sensitivities rising, driving the start of this new week.. working with awareness and self-control may prove to be beneficial in […]
Chiron Rx in Pisces sextile Juno in Taurus (29 deg)
Chiron’s return to Pisces is bolstered by a hopeful aspect to Juno. Going back to what hurts can involve a solid agreement. Here is quiet support from a partner who has your back, or empathizes with you. There may be no words – just an understanding.
Excellent if you’re trying to heal a relationship, but don’t look for anything dramatic – this aspect depends on a mutual understanding that some things simply need to be released.
This aspect will repeat on November 3rd (at 28 deg) when Juno is Rx, so the process will not be a quick one. Watch for slow, gentle healing and patient acceptance.

Tonight’s passionate Aries Full Moon can REALLY fire us up; encouraging a deep-seeded need to take action, as a way to gain some sense of control. A new truth will be illuminated under this sacred light on Monday September 24; uncovering what has remained in the dark and unknown. If we’re brave enough to face […]

Mars in Aquarius square Uranus Rx in Taurus (1 deg)
Here’s the final jolt. Sudden or disruptive actions that are a break for freedom (or a radical snap that frees you from the past) are in front of you once again. This is new, but not really:
May 16th: Mars direct square Uranus (0 deg Taurus)
August 1st: Mars Rx square Uranus (2 deg Taurus)
The initial square was aligned with Uranus’ Taurus ingress (on May 15th) so the ongoing surprises have been about much more than immediate actions. The bigger issue is, what does Uranus’ transit of Taurus mean for you? What resources/habits/values are being shaken up, and why? The squares to Mars could be seen as initial manifestations – what you had to do or what you had to break away from. Today’s final square means you’ve reached one of the many turning points that Uranus in Taurus will bring.
What’s your next move?
Some of us could be totally caught off guard this week as winds quickly increase, taking an unexpected turn. Our current situations could be challenged under this highly stimulated Mars/Uranus square on Tuesday September 18. Life can either be accepted or changed. If it is not accepted, it must be changed. If it cannot be […]
Venus
Venus in Scorpio interacts with the not-quite-exact Saturn/Uranus trine. Her opposition to Uranus is the shock- the disruption to what you want, or the surprising thing that you didn’t know you wanted (the electric attraction or burst of desire for something). Along the Fixed Scorpio/Taurus axis, there’s a sense of change erupting from a deep place. A reluctant but intense overhaul. The opposition indicates an ending or result and usually an external source is the trigger.
But she also makes a supportive sextile to Saturn in Capricorn, which reminds us that Saturn trine Uranus is change harmonizing with structure. New rules that are established smoothly. Add Venus to the mix and this could be an opportunity – a chance to get what you want in an unexpected way or uncover deep (Scorpio) and surprising resources. Saturn’s rules/focus/discipline will solidify this.
Uranus can be the blast of clarity into Scorpio’s shadows. The change to your existing resources/security base (Taurus) that reveals something deeper and better. Venus rules Taurus, so this is a new approach to what you already have, but you’re taking it further (or someone is pushing you to take it further). Again, these are Fixed signs, so there’s a reluctant but powerful shift.
Due to Venus’ upcoming Rx, you’ll be encountering this issue again:
Jupiter Sextile Pluto
Jupiter in any aspect to Pluto can indicate success. Jupiter expands Pluto’s power (especially in Pluto-ruled Scorpio) and Pluto intensifies Jupiter’s sense of possibility. With the gentle sextile, the potential for megalomania is diminished – this is a quiet opportunity that can be quite rich and rewarding if you work with it. It will mean taking something a bit further and intensifying your efforts but the rewards will be significant.
This is the last of three Jupiter/Pluto sextiles in Scorpio/Capricorn:
