Today’s full moon culminates in the sign of Taurus and the lunar house of Rohini. As Taurus is the exaltation sign of the Moon this full moon shines brightly here. Taurus has agency over what we value, and the material sustenance of our life. As the fixed earth sign of Venus it is one of abundance and stability.
The lunar house of Rohini, the ‘red one’ connected to the red eye of the bull of Taurus, also mirrors this idea of beauty and bounty. Rohini is a very desirous nakshatra connected to our creative impulse and our passions. The power of growth that this nakshatra holds supports the addition of cultivating new ideas and beauty into our lives in this full moon cycle.
This full moon is also the birthday of the Goddess Annapurna. Translated at the one who is ‘full of food’, she is the form of the divine mother who feeds and nourishes. Today is a great day to offer food to others, whether on a personal level or to an organization that feeds people. When we align our actions with these indications the benefits are multiplied.
Though this moon is strongly supported by Venus, enhancing the creative potential, it is also aspected by Mars and Saturn, which adds a layer of difficulty. Mars adds an element of impulsiveness and urgency, while Saturn blocks or slows things down. This combination can create a push-pull in our minds that can leave us feeling confused and frustrated. Their dual influence can make it difficult to get an accurate read on our own energy levels and motivations.
This is a cycle to move with both gentleness and steadiness. Allow your creativity to flow, yet do not be discouraged if your motivation feels inconsistent. The pull of these opposite energies calls you to move inward and outward at the same time! If the growth of this Moon in Taurus and Rohini is balanced with both excitement and temperance, it can be an ideal time to give shape to new ideas- one small, grounded step at a time.
Love and Blessings,
