Full Moons are a time for releasing and relinquishing. If you have an excess in your life, this is the time for it to go down the drain. Through silent meditation, exchanging of thoughts, or spiritual practice, Full Moons are a point when we can let go. November’s Full Moon in Taurus is an astrological hint to reminisce about how much you’ve grown. Following Western astrology, these new and complete Moon guides are monthly reminders to set and review your intentions.
When you’re trying to build a better world, a battle cry for understanding rings out before words and reason can catch up. You’re propelled into a sense of purpose before you’ve even conceptualized your mission. Patience? Nonexistent. You’re demanding a better tomorrow before you’ve even sketched out the blueprint. There are no ifs, ands, or buts—only demands, with zero willingness to compromise. In fact, even the word “compromise” sounds like deflection or dismissal. How do you push forward when your feet run faster than your mind, when your body is primed but the world around you isn’t ready? We all believe the world should be better, that everyone should be enlightened, that we should know how to defend our truth. Under the Full Moon in Taurus, it’s time to let go of the word should. True security comes when we’re no longer living in fantasies or illusions, but instead get firmly rooted in what’s real.
On November 15, 2024, at 4:29 P.M. Eastern Time, the Full Moon in Taurus will oppose the Sun in Scorpio, highlighting the tension between rigid simplicity and fixed complexity. As we prepare for what’s to come, consider trying to find peace through community rather than repressing your feelings and chasing achievements. The clarity you seek will come from wielding your emotions like a sword and shield, with a humble confidence that grounds you. Remember, emotions are fleeting, and you’re in this for the long run. Be patient, dear ones; we learn far more from failure than we ever do from success.
Read your Sun, Moon, and Rising sign horoscope for the Full Moon in Taurus:
Aries
Aries, this Full Moon shines a light on parts of you that have always been true, yet have often been misunderstood or judged. You’re no stranger to setbacks or feeling like you’re being punished for expressing your raw, unfiltered self. Your forward motion often comes from a place of knowing exactly who you are and having the courage to live that truth—whether others understand it or not. This Full Mon in Taurus is calling you to lean fully into self-determination.
Taurus
Taurus, with the Full Moon in your sign, it’s time to fully embrace the journey of true self-acceptance. This means trusting your intuition and standing by it, even if you don’t have all the answers yet. You’re in a process of continual learning, refining how you express yourself and making sense of your inner truths. There may be moments of frustration or anger when your thoughts aren’t fully understood or when your voice doesn’t resonate as clearly as you wish. But remember, this is part of the path. True authenticity doesn’t require perfection; it requires faith.
Gemini
Gemini, this Full Moon invites you to dive deeper into your sense of self—not through your usual avenues of entertainment or socializing, but through genuine connection. Right now, community is your mirror. Surround yourself with people who bring out your inner truths, not just those who keep you busy. Be mindful of leaning into self-righteousness or pleasure-seeking as a way to avoid looking inward; that path only keeps you from knowing yourself fully. Instead, seek out friendships and connections that encourage reflection, honesty, and growth.
Cancer
Cancer, this Full Moon illuminates your desire for authentic connection and a true sense of belonging. You’re often the one holding space for others, but now is the time to ask if these relationships are holding space for you in return. Let go of the shoulds around always being the caretaker, the one who absorbs everyone else’s energy. This Full Moon urges you to find connections that genuinely uplift you, bonds that let you be fully yourself without feeling drained. Redefine what home and community mean for you by seeking relationships that nurture your spirit as much as you nurture theirs.
Leo
Leo, this Full Moon may bring up feelings of frustration or even anger—feelings that stem from pouring so much of yourself into your work, your relationships, and your legacy, yet feeling unseen or unappreciated. The truth is, no one owes you validation. This Full Moon asks you to let go of the expectation that others will recognize everything that you do. You’re already enough, exactly as you are, and the path forward is about learning to embrace yourself. Release the notion that if you just do more or be more, people will finally see you. Instead, allow yourself to rest in your own self-worth.
Virgo
Virgo, this Full Moon is here to gently remind you that perfection is an illusion and that real growth comes from embracing your imperfections. You may feel like you should have everything neatly figured out, but this lunar energy encourages you to let go of that need for control. There is beauty in vulnerability, in showing up exactly as you are, flaws and all. This Full Moon invites you to stop striving to be perfect and instead allow yourself to be real. You’ll find that by letting go, you’ll discover a deeper sense of peace and a more genuine connection with those around you.
Libra
Libra, this Full Moon invites you to take a grounded stand in your beliefs without feeling the need to transform or adjust them to fit others’ expectations. It’s easy to get lost in the nuances of perspectives, but right now, your power lies in standing firm in what feels right to you. You don’t need to argue or force others to see your way; instead, allow yourself to listen and lead with curiosity. Let people have their views without feeling obligated to change yours. Embrace the art of holding space for rethinking—both for yourself and for others.
Scorpio
Scorpio, this Full Moon urges you to soften your defenses and step into relationships with more openness. You’re often seen as unbreakable, but this lunar energy invites you to shed the armor and let others see you, vulnerabilities and all. It’s okay to let people in without feeling the need to control the narrative or keep a strong facade. The connections you seek aren’t about proving strength; they’re about finding those who appreciate your true self.
Sagittarius
Sagittarius, your natural love for freedom and exploration is a gift, but this Full Moon encourages you to look at where you might be spreading yourself too thin. There’s power in simplicity right now. Consider which routines truly nurture you and which might be distractions. Adventure doesn’t have to mean constant movement—it can mean deepening your experience in one place, one commitment, one routine that brings you peace.
Capricorn
Capricorn, this Full Moon invites you to focus on your career and lean fully into who you want to become, without being tethered to what’s familiar. Just because you’ve done things a certain way in the past—or because it’s how your family did them—doesn’t mean you need to keep following those same paths. This is your time to embrace new methods and seek out knowledge that isn’t readily accessible. Be open to fresh perspectives, even if they push you out of your comfort zone. You don’t need to explain your methods to anyone else; your success will speak for itself.
Aquarius
Aquarius, the time for transformation is here, and it’s calling you to trust the boldest parts of your vision. You’ve always been more of an innovator than a conformist, and this Full Moon may be the push you need to finally invest in your unconventional dream—whether that’s leaving city life behind for a farm or taking a leap into the unknown. The universe supports you in believing fully in what you want, no matter how risky or unorthodox it may seem.
Pisces
Pisces, this Full Moon calls on you to embrace your role as a thought leader, grounding your ideas so they carry real weight. While spontaneity and blurting out thoughts have their place, now is a time to be intentional about your voice. There’s a difference between shocking for attention and speaking with clarity and conviction. You have a depth that deserves follow-through and a message that people need to hear. Take time to gather your thoughts and shape your words in a way that resonates deeply.
