Full Moon
Full Moon in Taurus
A Full Moon in Taurus is when the Moon in Taurus opposes the Sun in Scorpio, bringing the tension between what feels safe and what you share with someone else to a head.
Modern
The Full Moon is the bright, culminating point of the cycle, when something that has been building comes to light. In Taurus, opposite the Sun in Scorpio, it lights up the pull between your own steady security and the deeper, more entangled things you hold with another person. Questions about money, the body, and what you genuinely value tend to surface now and ask for an honest look. It is a good time to release a worry you have been carrying and to settle back into what is solid and real for you, without clinging so hard that you miss what wants to change.

The Venus-ruled Moon set against the Mars-ruled Sun marks the old tension between what one keeps and what one shares coming to its peak, a time of culmination and, often, of release.
