Timing: The Moon will occupy the sign of Taurus on Friday the 30th at 9:18pm till Monday November 2nd at 9:59pm.
Moon in Taurus: This is the moon’s exaltation - a very positive place for the Moon where she and her significations are lifted up and greatly supported. Physical work and care of the body are each very effective during this time. The Moon herself is also more benefic during this period, making this a good time to do lunar magic and workings.
Triplicity and Quadruplicity: Fixed Earth. Fixedness indicates prolonged activities and an overall steadiness people’s moods. The Moon in fixed signs makes activities more stable and their duration longer. The earth element emphasizes the physical body and propensity for work, and the Moon in an earth sign often expresses more practicality, groundedness, and a concern for the material world.
Moon’s ruler: Venus. The Moon is averse to venus, who is currently in Libra. However, they form a homozonias or like-engirding relationship in virtue of being in signs of the same rulership. Thus, the Moon will have support in grounding her significations. The Moon-Venus opposition on its own creates some tension with other people and dificulties around emotional vulnerability. Obstacles and roadblocks arise with the arts and creativity.
Aspects
Opposition to the Sun in Scorpio. There is a great amount of tension between our own intentions and desires and what the environment provides us with. You may find mutiple instances of trying to get somewhere or accomplish something and many external obstacles getting in your way.
Inferior Earth Trine to Jupiter in Capricorn: Support from Teachers and authority figures. Emotional buoyancy and grace for lessons. Potential for abundance and financial success. Not the greatest amount of support, though, considering Jupiter’s current state in Capricorn.
Inferior Earth Trine to Saturn in Capricorn: Light obstacles and roadblocks - ones that are ultimately productive and become learning experiences. Expect a natural sense of caution and greater predisposition for calculating your steps and planning carefully.
Summary: Moon in Taurus has a lot to offer us: physical abundance, propensity for work and persistence, and the opportunity to really nourish and take care of yourself. Given the opposition from the Sun, and the functional opposition from Venus, you may be better of this period focussing on the inward, introspective sides of Taurus instead of trying to manifest and make something happen. Focus on taking care of yourself, journal, and developing greater inner clarity.
