This coming week we have a Full Moon in Taurus at 08.57 GMT and Partial Lunar Eclipse at 09.02 GMT on Friday 19th November! Carry on reading to find out why this is such a special time, plus our favourite Full Moon ritual, and the crystals we recommend for you to use.
This Full Moon is often referred to as The Frost Moon as it is a time when Jack Frost has got his foot in the door of nature, spending his nights whitening the world. The energy is grounded and earthly! It is a powerful and positive Full Moon for all Water and Earth signs, but more challenging for Fire and Air signs.
We are also entering another eclipse season! The eclipse energy serves to amplify the energy of this Full Moon, making this a very powerful gateway and passage of energies for us to engage with. The Moon is exalted in Taurus, so expect a beautiful and positive impact with finances and any manifestations connected with the home.
With so much to talk about with this Full Moon, here is a quick overview. Simply select the link below to go to the section you are looking for:
Why is a Full Moon important?
The night of the Full Moon represents possibility, unfolding potential and abundance as one of our New Moon intentions could be about to manifest or be on its way. Each month the Full Moon takes place in a different sign, bringing a new and different energy and theme to work with.
We need to spend time outside and look up at the Moon (if it is visible), connect to our basic instincts and feel wild and free. Our ancestors have danced and celebrated under the light of the Full Moon throughout time and in surrendering to the present moment we are then open to receiving what is available to us right now.
Affirmation: I surrender to spirit and open my heart to infinite possibilities
We can go within to release the past, shift blocks and heal ourselves. This is easiest when we remember that forgiveness and gratitude are the major players at any Full Moon. The Full Moon is shining so brightly at this time that it is illuminating the darkness to help us see exactly what inner work needs to be done.
How will this Full Moon in Taurus affect us?
At the Full Moon, the Moon and Sun are sat directly opposite each other with the Sun illuminating the Moon. They are both in signs that are totally opposite sides of the zodiac but need to find balance and common ground. They represent opposite ends of the spectrum, neither good nor bad, just what is. This month the Sun is in Scorpio and the Moon is in Taurus. We are looking to find the balance between holding on (Taurus) and letting go (Scorpio), finding our flow through the process of transformation.
How to embrace the Full Moon
We live in a world of energy, or better yet, a web of energy where all things are connected. There are no gaps in this energy, so when we shift and release lower frequencies from our energy field it creates a void that we can then consciously choose to fill with something of a higher nature, with a super-high frequency. Basically, it's out with the old and in with the new. Creating a ritual is the perfect way to work through this process. Here is our suggestion for a Full Moon Ritual:
Step 1: Forgiveness holds the releasing power and creates a void.
Forgiveness is the first step in the healing process as we have to release the past so we can live the life of our dreams. Forgiveness sets us free as when we forgive, we release the karma which binds us to a person, situation or experience and allows us to be free of it. It does not mean that we condone the actions of someone else, it just allows us to let go and move on. This is such a gift as we can release the burdens we carry and choose to do something far healthier with our energy instead.
Forgiveness affirmation: I release the past with love in my heart
Step 2: Gratitude holds the power to fill the void.
We can fill the gaps created by forgiveness with gratitude as it has such a high vibration. Gratitude is a magical attitude we can choose to have, it helps us to raise our frequency which makes us lighter and brighter and manifests more things for us to be grateful for.
Gratitude affirmation: I know that I am truly blessed and all is well in my world
Step 3: Guidance
I invite you to ask yourself some big questions under the Taurus Full Moon and then just feel the answers rise up from your heart. Use these five questions to help guide you:
Could I be more motivated and take appropriate action?
Have I been focused on my internal or external world?
Am I flexible, flowing and open-minded?
Have I been eating well or too well?!
Am I moving my body every day and getting enough exercise?
Step 4: Meditate
Meditation is a great tool we can look to use daily, but it can take us to new levels when we meditate and harness the energy that surrounds us during the different stages of moon cycles. Use meditation to help you clear your headspace and reframe. If you aren't sure where to start, you can watch our collection of meditation for beginners videos here.
Step 5: Use Crystals
Another phenomenal tool to harness is our crystals and their energy, they can help us at any or all stages of the Full Moon ritual. Selecting crystals intuitively is the best way to surround yourself with the energy you need but if you would like a starting point, here are three crystals we would recommend:
Rose Quartz
No crystal resonates with Taurus better than Rose Quartz! With the Moon finding her highest expression in Taurus, this really is a match made in heaven as the Moon's nature can potentially be expressed in its most spiritual way.
Moonstone
Moonstone always has to be a favourite at the Full Moon as it is the crystal of the High Priestess, the keeper of the feminine mysteries and resonates perfectly with the Moon on all levels. The Moon and Moonstone are both highly symbolic of the inward journey. The light that they both shine helps
us to observe the truth that lies hidden in the depths of ourselves.
Garnet
Garnet is best friends with Taurus with its slow and steady vibration. It activates and strengthens our base chakra, our portal of connection to the physical world. In doing this it becomes a crystal of prosperity, showing us that abundance is all around and we only need to look to Mother Nature and she will be our teacher.
Choose an affirmation, select the crystals you are drawn to and be prepared for this Full Moon and Lunar Eclipse. It's setting us up to navigate a more balanced way forward, and one where we appreciate the value of the physical body as a necessity in this lifetime.
Love and crystal blessings,
Tiggy xx
