Full Moon In Taurus At 24° November 15, 2024
Including Uranus and Saturn Stationary
Embracing Grounding Energy
This Full Moon in Taurus on November 15 invites us to slow down and reconnect with what feels like grounding and comforting energy, especially as we reach the end of a year that’s kept so many of us on edge.
In Taurus, the Moon’s energy turns our attention to life’s steady, physical comforts, the little things that bring a sense of stability, pleasure, and value to our lives. Whether it’s financial security, a feeling of self-worth, or the simple pleasures that make us feel at home, this Full Moon offers a time to check in and see what feels most comforting and nourishing.
Full Moons naturally illuminate, bringing things to the surface that need our attention. Full Moons help us see where our energy has been going and reveal to us if we stop long enough to look, whether it’s aligned with our deeper values. This particular Full Moon in Taurus is a little nudge, encouraging us to pause and reflect on what truly matters to us. In a world full of noise and distractions, it’s easy to lose touch with what’s most meaningful. So, let this Moon be an invitation to step back, tune in, and clarify what you value most for yourself and your family. Think about the aspects of life that give you a sense of stability or fulfillment, and let this awareness guide your focus forward with a renewed sense of patience and purpose.
Reflecting on the Lunar Gestation Cycle
To understand this moment more deeply, it helps to look at the longer cycle that brought us here, which I love working with, the Lunar Gestation Cycle. If we trace this Full Moon back to its beginnings, we find ourselves at May 19, 2023, under a New Moon in Taurus at 28°. At that time, the seeds for what’s unfolding now were quietly planted. The New Moon back then might have inspired you to start something new or to clarify what truly matters in your life. I want you to recall what did you initiate around the New Moon on May 19, 2023 (yes 18 months ago)? What values or goals did you set that began to take root?
Fast forward 9 months to February 16, 2024, and we had the first quarter Moon in Taurus at 27°, a moment when those intentions may have required a more active commitment. This phase often demands hard work, as we put in the effort needed to bring our goals to life. Back to NOW, with the Full Moon on November 15, 2024, we arrive at a moment of culmination. This is when we’re called to sift through what’s working and what isn’t, to keep nurturing what feels aligned and release what no longer fits. It’s a natural pruning process, helping us refine our path with clarity and purpose.
Finding Balance Between Taurus and Scorpio

Adding to the mix, with the Sun in Scorpio and the Moon in Taurus. This opposition between Taurus and Scorpio creates a push-and-pull energy, where we feel the tension between wanting to stay grounded and secure (Taurus) and feeling drawn toward transformation or deeper emotional truth (Scorpio). Taurus is content with what feels comfortable and stable, while Scorpio invites us to face the unknown and dive into the depths of our inner world. Together, they ask us to find a balance, honoring both our need for security and our drive for growth. This dynamic brings a richness to the Full Moon, offering us a moment to reflect on whether we’re holding on to anything that might be standing in the way of true, soul-deep change.
Unexpected Sparks: The Full Moon Conjunct Uranus
There’s another layer here: this Taurus Full Moon isn’t just sitting opposite the Sun in Scorpio; it’s also conjunct Uranus, the planet known for sudden change, breakthroughs, and a certain rebellious energy. Uranus adds a bit of a wild card to this otherwise grounded Taurus Moon. While Taurus typically encourages us to settle into a slower, more rooted pace, Uranus has a different agenda. It often arrives like a lightning bolt, shaking things up in unexpected ways. So, while we might be yearning for stability, Uranus could be encouraging us to question whether the things we’ve relied on for comfort are still truly serving us.
Think of it this way: the Full Moon lights up those parts of our lives where we crave stability, and Uranus shines a sudden, almost electric insight on these areas, asking us to consider where we might need to break free or rethink what we thought we couldn’t live without. This doesn’t mean abandoning everything familiar, but it does invite us to be open to change, even if that means letting go of something that once felt non-negotiable. There’s a tension here between holding on and allowing space for transformation, between stability and evolution. With Taurus’s influence, it’s not about reckless change; it’s about redefining security in a way that feels authentic and freeing, even if it looks a little different than what we originally envisioned.
Embracing Change: Insights from Uranus
Uranus’s presence reminds us that real growth rarely happens inside our comfort zones. Sometimes, it’s these unexpected shifts that help us rediscover our values, guiding us toward what matters most. So, as this Full Moon shines in the sky, ask yourself where you might be feeling a bit restless or where something inside you is calling for a change. This is Uranus’s invitation to embrace the unexpected, trust your instincts, and allow for the possibility of a new path or perspective.
Often, we don’t realize how we’ve outgrown certain structures or routines until they’re disrupted. Uranus brings that disruption, encouraging us to release outdated habits or beliefs and make room for something fresh and more aligned with our current needs.In this light, grounding ourselves becomes less about holding on to the familiar and more about building new foundations that reflect who we are becoming. This Full Moon isn’t just about seeking comfort in the things we already know; it’s about discovering where comfort and growth can meet, even if that means stepping into uncharted territory. It’s a chance to recalibrate, to reconnect with what feels true, and to let go of what no longer resonates with the life we’re creating.
Let this Full Moon be a gentle reminder to both ground and grow, to find stability within and around you, while staying open to whatever surprising insights may come. Embrace this time as an opportunity to root yourself in what feels real and valuable while welcoming the possibility of change. In doing so, you might just find that sweet spot between comfort and transformation, creating a life that not only feels secure but also fully alive.
PS: A Note on Saturn Stationary in Pisces
As we enjoy this Taurus Full Moon on November 15, we also have Saturn getting ready to move direct in Pisces. It’s a big deal because when Saturn is stationary, it’s like it’s hitting the pause button, inviting us to reflect on what really matters.
With Saturn moving direct, it’s time to take stock of our responsibilities and how they fit into our lives. You know that feeling when you realize you’ve been juggling too many commitments? Well, Saturn in Pisces encourages us to check in with ourselves—are we balancing our duties with our dreams? It’s a perfect blend of practicality and intuition, helping us to weave our aspirations into our everyday life.
Now, let’s think about this: what emotional barriers might be holding you back? Sometimes, fears or doubts from the past can sneak in and stop us from moving forward. This Full Moon in Taurus is a wonderful moment to ground ourselves and process those feelings.
So, as you soak in this powerful energy, take a moment to ask yourself how you can restructure things in your life. How can you use the stability of Taurus while embracing the dreamy vibes of Pisces? This is your chance to create a solid foundation for your future, aligning your dreams with the reality you want to build.
