Tonight and leading into tomorrow morning early there will be a full Moon. You can see her in all her glory tonight and I am sure most of you have seen her the past few days. She is stunning and takes my breath away each time. Tomorrow morning at 7:34am she will be at her peak fullness. Get out there and soak in some of those gorgeous moon rays tonight. Known as a “Frosty” moon because for obvious reasons this is typically the time of year when the first frost and snow would occur. As Winnipeggers we are all too familiar with this. In the sign of Taurus, ruled by Venus the planet of love and beauty, there is going to be an emphasis on relationships, beauty, money. For taking the time to slow down and fully enjoy the present moment. There will be an illumination involving security and self worth. And a light shone on your own sensuality and sexuality. Don’t be surprised if you have to deal with finally facing toxic relationships that you have been stubbornly holding onto. The Moon will also be trine both Saturn and Pluto which allows even more of a sense of security, stability and support. As well as this trine we also need to consider that Mercury will be conjunct the Sun. This marks the halfway point of Mercury Retrograde and oh boy, I know it’s been a doozy for plenty of people. What themes have come up during this retrograde for you? Mercury conjunct Sun is a fairly rare transit and one that has been photographed beautifully by several amazing photographers. If you get the chance I would definitely recommend checking out the photos because they are incredible. This is going to be a really good time to let go of toxic/negative aspects that are affecting your life. The date is 11/11, you still have a few hours for some powerful manifestation. Use this energy to release the things that are no longer serving you and be sure to check out my blog post on how to perform a full Moon in Taurus Ritual and what themes to focus on. Use this to set goals for your own finances, your own wellbeing, take time for self care and do something romantic in your relationship.

As always full Moons signify endings and new beginnings. Light is shed onto things that have been hidden in the shadows and depending on what sign it is in incredible transformation. It is also a time of heightened emotions. Be cautious of your reactions because you may act or think irrationally. This is a good time to use crystals to keep you grounded, balanced and steady. Some crystals you can use are Labradorite, Rose Quartz, Jade, Moss Agate, . This is also an amazing time to do a full Moon ritual which month by month I will be posting on how to perform one. We perform full Moon rituals to release and let go of toxic and negative energies and feelings. It is very therapeutic and if you can get 4 in your group, Earth, Air, Fire and Water you are a force to be reckoned with. Full Moons are also a time of deep healing and can be overwhelming. Take the time to rest if you need. People often find they are either insomniac or extra sleepy during full Moons. If you are feeling tired or not well definitely take the time to rest and recuperate. Happy full Moon friends and remember to take this time for yourself whichever way you plan to.

Lastly I just wanted to also include a little tidbit on eclipse season. There is an eclipse that is coming up in about a month and a couple weeks. We are almost in it’s shadow and are going to be feeling it’s affects coming up very soon. A solar eclipse in Capricorn on Christmas Day. This will not be visible in North American I believe you can see it in places like India and certain Asian countries. However despite not being able to see it we will be feeling its powerful affects. This eclipse will be affecting those with Cardinal sign placements. That is Aries, Cancer, Libra and Capricorn. Think back to July when the summer brings the typical eclipse season of 2 solar eclipses and 1 lunar eclipse. This was a very powerful and potent time astrologically/energetically. It really shook some people’s lives and changed things dramatically. It likely caused certain stresses, anxieties and dramatic events to arise, especially for those with Cardinal signs. Think back to July and the events that transpired back then. Have things been felt in limbo for you? Themes from July are going to present themselves back again and things are going to start moving forward from this limbo state. There might be devastating, catastrophic and illuminating events that will transpire. It is a warning however there is nothing to do but prepare and protect yourself for some potentially harder times that will come your way. It doesn’t necessarily need to be a bad thing, and despite change being scary and sometimes difficult it can ultimately be the best thing that is for you. So do not fear change rather embrace it. I will be writing more about the eclipse in the next few weeks so stay tuned for more information.
