Today is the November full moon of Taurus.
I live on the west coast of Canada and tonight the air here is fairly clear and chilly. There’s a halo of light around the moon and a circular rainbow surrounding the halo. I’m told this is caused by ice crystals in the atmosphere.
I like to lie tucked warmly in my bed and watch the moon tracking it’s way across the night sky. Some nights it’s glow keeps me awake but I love the silvery light of the moon so I don’t really mind. As I lie there, I often think of all the full moons I’ve seen in all the places I’ve been around the word; the full moon shining on the Seine as I sipped wine at a Left Bank restaurant, watching the full moon from the window of the plane as it followed me across the ocean on my first trip to Hawaii, a wacky, crazy full moon party on Koh Phangan in Thailand, sleeping outdoors as a teenager and watching the moon shimmering on the lake…and so, so many more.
I love you moon!
Full Moon periods (for a day or two before and after the lunation, as well as the event itself) are times of emotional fullness and power. They are never the best times to try to control our world with the mind, and this is even less so under this Taurus/Scorpio polarity.
So celebrate the fullness of your experience, and dance in the richness of the emotional world in which you live, no matter what it brings you.

OH my, you have travelled, haven't you, kate? You know I woke up last night and searched the house for the light I left on. I finally realized I hadn't left any light on, but it was the moon! My house is one story, low ceilings, and a bit dark, but it has windows in every room looking into the forest...the moon lit up the forest and I could see it from the house! I thought how amazing it was that this was the first time I've ever seen anything like that. xoO
