As we find ourselves in the heart of Scorpio Season, celestial energies are rich with intensity, transformation, and emotional depth. Governed by powerhouse Pluto and red-hot Mars, the essence of Scorpio encourages us to dive into the shadows and confront the truths that often lie beneath the surface. It’s a time of introspection, healing, and, ultimately, rebirth. This season challenges us to shed old skin and embrace the changes that are necessary for our growth.
The full moon in Taurus will peak on Nov. 15, 2024, at 4:28 PM ET, highlighting the innate contrast between Scorpio’s shadowy intensity and Taurus’ earthy delights, creating a unique opportunity for grounding and newfound insight. As you may remember, the full moon phase marks a pivotal point in the lunar cycle—a symbol of clarity, completion and illumination. During this phase, the sun and moon sit directly across from each other in the sky, bringing to light the hidden aspects of our lives. So, while it’s a time to release what no longer serves us, it’s also a time to celebrate the fruits of our labor.
This year’s full moon in Taurus will ignite the 24th degree of this Earth sign, urging us to reflect on our material values, sense of security and sensual pleasures. Taurus is a Fixed sign, emphasizing themes of stability, comfort and our connection to the physical world at large. The essence of this Venus-ruled sign also invites us to connect with our physical bodies and five senses while finding joy in the simple things.

Sitting together with Uranus retrograde — Great Awakener and the planet of change, disruption, rebellion and unexpected breakthroughs — we’re being called to revisit and reassess the changes we’ve recently experienced in our personal and professional lives. The influence of Uranus simultaneously signifies a time of enlightenment and surprising revelations that could challenge our traditional ways of thinking. Moreover, while in harmony with Neptune retrograde in Pisces, our full-moon moment could also come with a numinous, otherworldly energy that encourages us to tap into our imagination and, more importantly, trust our intuition.
Last but certainly not least, Luna will be in harmony with Pluto while transiting the very final degrees of Capricorn, a transit that won’t happen again for another 200 or so years. A harmonious trine, this aspect enables us to harness the transformative and regenerative powers of Pluto, specifically when it comes to the deep-rooted changes occurring in our lives. On that note, it’s important to reflect on the truths unearthed throughout this celestial season, as the changes afoot are essential for our growth. After all, Plutonian energy encourages us to confront our fears and embrace the transformation that is needed.
In the end, this lunation is all about honoring our earthly desires and pleasures (Taurus) while still embracing the profound changes brought on by the inevitable cycles of death and rebirth (Scorpio). That being said, open your heart to the unexpected insights and opportunities that may arise, as they can lead you to greater fulfillment and authenticity.
