Taurus Full Moon

The energy of a Taurus Full Moon is one of comfort, dedication, and appreciation. It is a great time to begin new self-care habits, things that make you feel good. Though the Full Moon isn't typically a time for beginnings, there is something different about the Taurus Moon influence.

In the lunar calendar, the Taurus Full Moon marks the time of Samhain (sow-en) when the veil is thinnest and we honor the ancestors. It embodies the death and rebirth cycles making this Full Moon truly unique. It also is known as the witch's New Year! We typically follow the Gregorian calendar system based on solar influence now instead of the Lunar calendar system, however it doesn't change the energetic influence of the moon, it just further distorts our connection to the natural rhythms and cycles.

Taurus Full Moon has big energy and fitting enough, she's a supermoon, meaning she'll look bigger, brighter, and closer than usual.

The moon is considered feminine in many traditions. In Quechua she's called Mama Quilla (Key-ya) and represents the collective wisdom of the Grandmothers, the Mother of Mothers, the wise women, the ancient ones, and connects with Mama Cocha, the Mother of the Water.

A Despacho for a Taurus Full Moon would likely have some chocolate, cacao, roses, pomegranate, and honey, and embody the energy of sweet surrender into the comforting flow of seeking nourishment through pleasure. It's the appreciation of the sweetness of life, the things you enjoy. It feels very much like Hummingbird Spirit energy meets Snake Spirit energy to create this beautiful descent into the darker season, preparing for the winter and remembering to take the sweetness, the nectar of life, with you as you go.
