The Day of Established Activism | Order Your 2019-20 Taurus Reading | All Other Signs

Get ready to conduct some metaphorical lightning and turn it into electricity. There’s a lot of activity in the air; you are in a great position to receive inspiration and make something concrete and lasting from it. Go along for the ride and see where it takes you; keep an ear out for clues in the environment, and for anything that moves your emotions with particular intensity. The results could well be astonishing.

Written in the Planets

Today the Scorpio Moon opposes the Taurus Sun for the Scorpio Full Moon, exact at 5:11 pm EDT (21:11:14 UTC). If a situation with someone seems a little stuck and you’re not sure how to wiggle it into freer territory, this Full Moon could describe that sensation — especially regarding topics such as values, finances, and the physical-sexual-emotional realm of intimate relationships. Possessiveness and jealousy (or their projection onto a partner) might also come up. If things get volatile, you may wish to press the pause button until after the event peaks.

Another possibility is that you may be conscious of, and need to express outwardly, something about a process of re-generating a part of you that was once cut off or somehow lost. A conjunction between the Sun and the minor planet Sedna appears to describe this. Did any form of pride, hubris or vanity play a role in that former trauma? Now ask: was that truly the case, or is a displaced sense of guilt or shame pointing you in that direction? It’s easy to think we were looking for more than we deserved — and therefore have been punished justly — if we’ve been pushed out of our own center, or if we’ve felt somehow abandoned. But maybe you were right to stand your ground after all?

Any of those thoughts or emotions could be a red flag — and could guide you to look a little deeper by the light of the Full Moon (you can read a little more about this Scorpio Full Moon here). With Venus in Taurus making a conjunction to the Great Awakener Uranus today, you have an unusual level of creativity and self-will available for use. While this might not be the day to indiscriminately push stubbornly against whatever you face, persistently seeking out a new approach, sensation or experience could move some worthwhile energy and open up your options.
