The Moon is Full in Taurus on November 12, 2019, at 8:35 AM EST.

The Full Moon in Taurus marks the beginning of a new cycle.

The Full Moon occurs in the sign of Taurus when the Sun in Scorpio forms an opposition to the Taurus Moon.

Full Moons always pit opposite signs of the zodiac against each other but also invite us to work to achieve a balance between the opposing energies.

The contrast between earthy, practical, peace-loving Taurus and emotional, transformative, crisis-oriented Scorpio comes full bloom at this time. The Moon in Taurus wants us to find emotional fulfillment through the simple, tangible things in life, while the Scorpio Sun draws our attention to complexities, intangibles, and mysteries. The Full Moon illuminates this conflict between form (Taurus) and transformation (Scorpio), and between collecting (Taurus) and sharing (Scorpio).

This is a passionate and creative Full Moon, ripe with possibilities and learning experiences. Intimate relationship matters, such as personal comfort levels and values as well as sexuality, figure prominently now. The Full Moon is a time of culmination and the promise of fulfillment of that which was started at the New Moon. It is an emotional time—a time of romance, fertilization, and relationships.

The Sun aligns with retrograde Mercury, suggesting that we’re looking back as we come to epiphanies. The Full Moon also harmonizes with Saturn, Pluto, and Neptune. A new look at a lingering problem or matter can figure strongly now.

This phase of the Moon occurs at 19 degrees and 52 minutes of Taurus, affecting people born with personal planets and points at approximately 16 to 24 degrees of the Fixed signs (Taurus, Leo, Scorpio, and Aquarius) most significantly.
