Hiiii beautiful soul! I'm writing to you from Gili T, my absolute favorite island (so far) that keeps pulling me back with its incredible vibes. But, before we dive into that, let's talk Astro because the Full Moon is about to grace our night sky.
The upcoming Full Moon and partial Lunar Eclipse in Taurus on October 28, 2023, marks a pivotal moment in your life. It's your opportunity to finally shed old fears, break free from destructive patterns, and release negative beliefs. Many astrologers describe this Full Moon cycle as a "now or never'" scenario, driven by a sense of urgency. It's as if a personal crisis is pushing you toward transformation. So, let's explore the profound implications of this October 2023 Full Moon and discover what else it has in store for you!
The powerful impact of this Full Moon on 28th of October 2023
A Full Moon happens when the Sun and Moon are on opposite sides in the sky, each in different star signs. This time, the Moon is in Taurus, an earth sign, and the Sun is in Scorpio, a water sign, on the other side. The tension between these two signs creates a conflict between emotions and thinking.
This Full Moon is even more intense because there's a partial Lunar Eclipse. Lunar Eclipses delve into the realm of relationships and polarities, and when the Taurus-Scorpio axis is at play, they prompt us to examine our desires, lacks, and preferences related to the balance between aspects of life ruled by Taurus and those ruled by Scorpio. Expect this Full Moon to trigger deep transformations and emotions can run high. The Lunar Eclipse marks a turning point in your life, making it clear that change is on the horizon, and it's time to think about the future.
It's worth noting that Jupiter, the planet of expansion, is very close to the Moon and is moving backwards (retrograde). This might slow down your future plans. It's a good idea to review your plans, think carefully, and ensure you have enough financial security before making any big moves. The good news is, the favorable connection with Saturn indicates that you'll be responsible and take things one step at a time. I will explain a bit more about Jupiter's conjunction with the Moon later in this article because it's worth knowing about its energy and power.
In this period, it's also crucial to consider the influence of Mercury, the planet of communication and thinking, as well as Mars, the planet of decisiveness. Both of these planets are directly opposite the Full Moon, which can make you more reactive and defensive when confronting unresolved pain. This may manifest as sharp comments driven by jealousy, frustration or anger. Arguments can easily arise when emotions are suppressed and need to be released.
The influence of Earthy Taurus
This particular Full Moon falls in the earth sign Taurus, which means you'll be attuned to Taurus-like qualities and characteristics during this period. Taurus values practicality, a grounded approach, and a thoughtful tempo. This sign tends to avoid abrupt changes and places great importance on possessions and financial security as sources of comfort and safety.
Taurus individuals are typically characterized by their calm and patient nature. However, when they run out of patience, they can erupt in anger. Furthermore, they can be occasionally stubborn and hold steadfast to more traditional beliefs. If you have a significant Taurus influence, you might find it challenging to release your grip on financial security and embrace change.
The influence of water sign Scorpio
During this Full Moon, the Sun occupies the opposite sign of Scorpio. Scorpio, a mysterious and strong-willed water sign, is known for experiencing intense emotions while finding it challenging to express them. This sign often adopts a defensive stance to safeguard its sensitivity, particularly when it feels emotionally wounded or threatened.
In times of vulnerability, Scorpio may respond with outbursts or expressions of anger. It strives to maintain control over its surroundings as a means of preserving its sense of security. In extreme cases, this sign may turn to the use of power and manipulation to achieve its objectives.
Both Taurus and Scorpio have a tendency to exhibit possessiveness and jealousy, rooted in underlying deep-seated fears. These emotional characteristics can have a significant impact on individuals.
Let me explain how the Moon and Sun relate to specific zodiac signs: Think of the big Galaxy as divided into different areas, each with its own name. These named areas match what we know as zodiac signs. Your zodiac sign is decided by where the Sun was when you were born. The Moon and Sun have strong influences on us, even though they're opposites of each other. They bring special energies into our lives that make us unique. So when the Moon and Sun are in a particular place in the Galaxy, it brings in a different energy that we can tap into.
The cosmic dance between Taurus and Scorpio
The interplay of Taurus and Scorpio energies creates a unique and fascinating blend of qualities and emotions that we can experience during this time. Taurus brings a sense of practicality, stability, and a love for life's tangible pleasures. It's like a warm embrace from a cosy blanket, urging us to find emotional fulfilment in the simple, earthly joys - a delicious meal, the touch of soft fabrics, or the beauty of nature.
On the other hand, Scorpio adds a layer of depth, intensity, and mystery. It's the enigmatic energy that ignites curiosity and draws us into the complex aspects of life. It's like diving into the depths of the ocean, exploring the uncharted territories of our emotions and desires. Scorpio encourages us to face the shadows, embrace transformation, and find the beauty in life's mysteries.
As these energies interact within us, it's a delicate dance of embracing the practicality of Taurus while delving into the profound mysteries that Scorpio unravels. We can find ourselves seeking both the security of the familiar and the thrill of the unknown. The stability of Taurus offers a solid foundation from which we can explore the depths of Scorpio's emotional waters.
This interplay reminds me that life is a beautiful blend of the tangible and the abstract, the known and the unknown. It's a journey where I can enjoy the pleasures of everyday life while daring to explore the profound complexities that make each day a mystery waiting to be unravelled. The interplay of Taurus and Scorpio energies is a reminder that life is a harmonious balance between the practical and the profound, the familiar and the mysterious. And we can embrace it all!
Possessiveness, when taken to an extreme, can lead to relationship issues. People with strong Taurus or Scorpio influences may struggle with sharing or trusting their partners, which can strain bonds and create tensions within partnerships. This possessiveness may also manifest as a desire to control situations and people, ultimately hindering personal growth and preventing a sense of freedom.
Jealousy can also become a challenging emotion to manage. When jealousy is not kept in check, it can result in conflicts, insecurity, and even the weakening of self-esteem. Individuals with pronounced Taurus and Scorpio traits may find themselves frequently comparing their lives, possessions, or achievements to others, causing distress and discontent.
My advice for individuals with these tendencies is to work on self-awareness and emotional regulation. Recognizing these traits and their underlying fears can be the first step toward personal growth and healthier relationships. By addressing possessiveness and jealousy, individuals can create a more balanced and fulfilling life.
Lunar Eclipse: Magnifying Emotions
A partial Lunar Eclipse will be visible from 18:01 to 22:26 UTC during the Full Moon on October 28. The maximum Eclipse will occur at 20:14 UTC. For my followers in Bali and Gili T, this phenomenon will be visible between 02:01 am and 05:26 am, with its peak occurring at 04:14 am on October 29.
The Moon becomes partially eclipsed because the Earth comes between the Sun and the Moon, reducing the amount of sunlight that reaches the Moon. This phenomenon intensifies your emotions, making them more pronounced and magnified.
During this particular Full Moon in Taurus, these heightened emotions will primarily revolve around the themes of possessions and the pursuit of financial, material, and emotional security. It's common to experience the fear of change during this time, including the fear of losing loved ones and concerns about financial stability.
This is the moment of realization when you recognize that while you may resist change, you can no longer maintain the status quo. Mostly driven by a personal crisis, you are motivated to undergo a transformative journey. The Lunar Eclipse during this Full Moon serves as a turning point in your life, enabling you to release old fears, break free from destructive patterns, and shed negative beliefs.
Jupiter's Influence on the Full Moon
Jupiter is running retrograde and in conjunction with the Full Moon, introducing a profound impact on your life. This alignment encourages you to delve deeper into your existence, preparing you emotionally, spiritually, and financially for the next step toward a brighter future. Jupiter's retrograde motion creates a sense of caution, guiding you to make well-considered decisions concerning matters like expanding your family, real estate investments, stocks, cryptocurrencies, education, or general spending.
This period of restraint also implies that certain expenses, such as home or garden renovations, travelling, or plans for family expansion, may need to be put on hold for a while. It's a time when you may realize that your enthusiasm for spending has been excessive, prompting you to adopt a more thrifty approach for the times ahead. Being too liberal with your spending could lead to financial strain and debt.
When you find yourself held back from pursuing your future plans, it can trigger deep-rooted emotions like fear and frustration. This restriction may make you feel limited in your actions or leave you with a sense of unfair treatment. You might even hide your plans of fear of losing people. If health issues stand in the way of your goals, it's essential to address them as a priority.
Dealing with Full Moon sensations
Around the time of the Full Moon, you may experience intense emotions and what are known as ascension symptoms. These symptoms include difficulty sleeping, flu-like sensations, lower back pain, retaining fluids, fatigue, dizziness, and palpitations, among others. The presence of a Lunar Eclipse can heighten these experiences.
My personal experience with the Full Moon in Taurus
Last night, I had a rough time sleeping. I had an early wake-up call at 4 am for a webinar, and I tried to go to bed early. However, my mind was restless, and I struggled to fall asleep, ultimately getting only three hours of rest. But that's not a big concern because the webinar from the Human Design Chart tool, which I embedded on my website a few weeks ago, provided me with incredible insights.
If you haven't checked it out yet, I highly recommend it! You'll find it on my homepage. It offers a comprehensive overview of your unique blueprint, describing how you manifest, make decisions, the status of your energy centers (chakras), your gifts, and how you harness your life force energy. The best part? It's completely free!
I'm working with a lot of dedication on integrating my Human Design Reports, which I refer to as "Your Unique Blueprint", into the website. In these reports, I delve deep into the meaning of all those shapes, colors, dots, and lines. My goal is to automate this process, saving me time and allowing me to focus more on my "Become the Alchemist in Life" program. It's a gradual process, but day by day, step by step, I'm slowly getting closer to my visions and goals, dedicated to fulfilling my mission on Earth - shifting the planet by raising the consciousness and giving others a vision of a higher reality of the world, of the soul, of love, and of a higher potential.
Speaking of missions, I heard in the webinar this morning that Gene Keys will soon be customizable within this tool. This news brings me immense joy because Gene Keys offers profound insights into your life's mission and purpose, enhancing your understanding of why you are here.
That being said, I am, like Taurus, an Earth sign as well: Capricorn. I resonate with Taurus's practical and grounded approach, which is quite amusing because I've found myself back in Gili T for the past five days. It's an island where I feel profoundly grounded. And no, I don't check the astrological calendar before making decisions. I simply go with the flow. And, as a big plus, they host fantastic Full Moon parties here on Gili T. So, I'll definitely get to witness the Full Moon and Lunar Eclipse while dancing with my feet on the white sandy beaches!
As being single, I don't experience possessiveness or jealousy towards anyone romantically. I've been thinking if I experience these feelings with friends, but it doesn't seem to be the case. I hang out with locals, whom I proudly refer to as my island homies. But most of the time I love being alone. It gives me a lot of time to work on my business and I do my own thing and tap into Scorpio's energy of unravelling mysteries and deep-rooted emotions.
I remain as always very aware of signs and synchronicities that appear on my journey, following them with a sense of surrender, going with the flow, adapting to changes, and trusting my intuition. These traits align with feminine energy, and I've learned to embrace my feminine energy more fully. In Western society, we often find ourselves pressured to be in masculine energy (action, logic, power, efficiency, focus, greed, and ambition), which isn't inherently negative. However, a healthy balance of both feminine and masculine energies is essential. Speaking of the balance between masculine and feminine energies, I'm going to wrap up this article, create some content, and post it online for you to read. After that, I'll head to the gym for a leg day, followed by enjoying the beautiful sunset as I always do, surrendering, and, hopefully, getting some good sleep!
I want to express my heartfelt gratitude to everyone who loves these articles and finds them to be a source of clarity during the intense energy of the Full Moon. Thank you all so much for your support, keep looking at the sky, and I look forward to the next Full Moon article!
Ciao for now!
