What: Taurus Full Moon
When: Nov. 15, 2024
Who’s Impacted: EVERYONE, but esp. Taurus and the other fixed signs.
Takeaway: An electrifying conclusion, shocking disruption, or groundbreaking culmination of the things you’ve been building since May 7, 2024.
Friday’s full moon might just change everything. That’s right, the 11th full moon of 2024—this one in the fertile, stable, security-loving earth sign Taurus—is a big, loud, potentially disruptive full moon that wants you, me, and everyone else to wake up and do things differently. Yes, Taurus is the sign of exaltation for the Moon (meaning the Moon really loves being in the fixed sign), but you shouldn’t expect this full moon to be nice and easy.
Why? Well, the 2024 Taurus full moon is conjoining rabble-rouser Uranus (also in Taurus), which is just about to perfect its headline-making opposition to the Sun in Scorpio. Tbh, I feel like we’ve been seeing the effects of this full moon / Uranus-Sun opposition play out in politics, with the recent Trump cabinet nomination of Matt Gaetz (a Taurus) for Attorney General. That nomination has been deemed “controversial,” “shocking,” and poetically likened to a “thunderclap”—all of which are astro-SEO keywords for Uranus. (Btw, Uranus is the planet of shock, awe, controversy, and unexpected news.)
But there’s another shocking element to this full moon that has nothing to do with politics: it is the LAST TIME we will see Uranus conjoining a full moon in Taurus in our lifetimes. Why? Because next year, Uranus moves into Gemini. It moves back into Taurus in Nov. 2025, and stays there until April 2026, but we won’t see a Uranus in Taurus conjoining a Taurus full moon again in 84 years! Ditto for the dreamy sextile from Neptune in Pisces and the loose trine being made to the full moon from Pluto in Capricorn.
Pluto enters Aquarius FOR GOOD on Nov. 19, thus marking the official 20-year foray into robo-land and AI rulership. (Just kidding. I hope.) While in March of 2025, Neptune moves into Aries, a sign it hasn’t been in since the Civil War era. Btw, if you want to know the MAJOR significance of Uranus in Gemini—and all the other MAJOR astrological shifts of 2025—and what they all mean for YOU, check out my 2025 astrology workshop, 2025 guide, & 2025 birth chart reading. Anyway!
There’s a last hurrah, swan song feel to this full moon. In Taurus, it is marking a peak moment in, a culmination of, and/or shining a bright light on tradition, security, values, and ease. With Uranus in the mix, there’s a stronger-than-normal desire to break up with, break out of, or break free from something; or to just do things differently. Where are you comfortable? What have you been steadily building since May 7, 2024? How can you celebrate the growth and shake things up? What does shaking things up look like for you?
The sextile from Neptune Rx in Pisces brings haziness, making it difficult to see things clearly; it also brings dreaminess and inspiration, which you may feel like channeling into art, music, or escapist relaxation (epsom salt bath, anyone?). The loose trine to Pluto helps in peeling back the layers of truth.
