The Taurus full moon, on the heels of Samhain, helps anchor us in the season of dying and shedding. All year, you have navigated the seasons, opening yourself to new experiences, ways of being, and perhaps unexpected lessons or hardships that have come to pass over the previous year.

Taurus, a fixed earth sign, invites you to pause, be with your body, and notice what's ready to drop from your being. The flowers and trees in the land have been in preparation all year, waiting for this season to drop their seeds. What seeds of wisdom are dropping within you? What wisdom is ready to be handed over to the womb of the earth for incubation?

While some may view shadow work (the intentional practice of noticing and tending to your unconscious, unhelpful habits, and repressed emotions) as something negative, it holds great power. When you know your shadows well and are aware of how they present, it enables you to move through the world with self-aware, grounded strength. 

As a cardinal earth sign, Capricorn signifies a time of deeply rooted action. Capricorn energy paired with a full moon, brings an opportunity to recognize and tend to your shadows and release unhelpful habits around how you relate to them, enabling you to move through the world with an understanding of how your unconscious realms affect your waking life.

Are you harboring desires that you know with every ounce of your being are true but feel too big (or scary) to act upon? The truth-seeking Sagittarius full moon provides insight and energy to burn away anything standing in your way and start taking action toward your most authentic self.

Acting in alignment with your most authentic needs isn't always easy, especially when your desires go against social or familial norms. Work with this fiery full moon as a supportive co-conspirator in moving you, and all of us, towards personal and collective liberation. Keep reading for details, ritual support, and prompts for this full moon.
