This month's Full Moon in tropical Taurus is also a partial lunar eclipse predominately visible in Africa, Europe, Asia, and Oceania. As Full Moons, partial lunar eclipses represent extra significant culminations, breakthroughs, and resolutions on both the collective and personal levels. The often rapid and substantial changes and transformations of the past few weeks reach their crescendo under this lunation, bringing various processes and endeavors to a fulcrum in time.

While typically associated with stability, simplicity, and consistency, the Taurus archetype has been undergoing a profound shake-up due to Uranus' current transit through this sign. Additionally, Uranus' building conjunction with Jupiter early next year amplifies the revolutionary breakthrough potential emerging on the individual and collective levels. It represents a brief yet significant moment of pushing past restrictive boundaries and limitations, making significant leaps and progress, and embracing innovative ideas and creative solutions.

This Full Moon/eclipse's proximity to Jupiter infuses this Full Moon/eclipse with expansiveness and emerging new horizons. An eclipse in Taurus is likely to correlate with notable changes on the material level, dealing with monetary, bodily, or other resource-related shifts. It pulls our attention to our capacity and potential to be self-supportive and grounded in the real world.

Yet, with the building energies behind Jupiter-Uranus, the pragmatic dimension this eclipse touches upon is anything but prosiac. It's unearthing an exciting liberation of our capacity to make tangible changes in our life circumstances and freeing up space for new ways to be embodied and connected to the Earth.
