According to Sandy

The Moon enters Taurus on Friday afternoon – just in time for the weekend – and it reaches its 2^nd “Full“ stage (or “Blue Moon”) for the month on Saturday 10/31, Halloween. Perfect!

This is a rare occurrence. There’s usually only one Full Moon per month. (The earlier October Full Moon was in Aries on the 1^st) When there is a 2nd, it’s referred to as a “Blue Moon” – as in “once in a…”.  

Taurus is the 2^nd sign of the Zodiac. It is a stable, stubborn (its symbol is the Bull), security focused Earth sign guided by the elegant, loving planet Venus. Whatever vibes are out there can all be put to good use. (We can stay calm while being tenacious.)

As always with a “Full” Moon, it’s a good time to finish what you’ve started. Use grounded Taurus’ influence to complete any financial dealings and/or improvements to surroundings – beauty, comfort and safety. Indulge the sensual side while monitoring investments. Chocolate covered strawberries while tallying the checkbook? It’s possible.

Happy Halloween!

As mentioned in the 10/2 post, surprises may still be on the way. Continue to hold on and ground yourself. Have some candy corn, dress up for a Zoom haunting. Be creative.

*Taurus Full Moon: 10/31/20 ~ 10:49 AM EDT / 7:49 AM PDT

**Reminder: Sunday 11/1/20 ~ Standard Time begins 2 AM (“Fall back”)

Lights, camera, action! Wednesday’s Moon on January 31, 2018, will not only be “Full”, it will also be Blue* (as in “once in a blue…”) and it will also be Red** (due to  the Lunar Eclipse).  All happening in dramatic, Fire sign Leo – no better way to heat up, perk up a winter hump day! A “Full” phase intensifies the traits of the sign it’s in and with Sun ruled Leo, (its Zodiac symbol is the glorious King of the jungle) we feel generous, creative and get the urge to flame and sparkle while flitting across the world stage. “Look at me!”.

So step into the spotlight, wear some regal purple, be royally magnanimous to your subjects (friends and family) and have a great time. Also, use the Full Moon’s energy to finish projects begun at the time of the last New Moon (1/16/18). Its considered a fortunate time to take care of loose ends and it will last for about 10 days even as the Moon moves into efficient Virgo on Thursday.

Leo Full Moon / Total Lunar Eclipse:  1/31/18 – 8:27 AM EST / 5:27 AM PST

*Since this is the 2^nd Full Moon in the same month, it’s called “Blue”

**Red Moon – due to Lunar Eclipse, Moon appears brighter and blood red– orange in color

Independent, unconventional, Air sign Aquarius gives us a Full Moon on Friday July 31, 2015. Since this is the 2nd round, lunar orb in the same month, it’s called a “Blue Moon”. (The previous Full Moon was in Capricorn on July 01, 2015. The next will be in 2018.) The humanitarian, 11th sign of the Zodiac encourages spontaneous change, community activism, group fun with a purpose and just contribution in general.

Just a reminder – a ”Full” Moon phase packs power and can give our thoughts clarity. It starts the “waning” or decreasing period, on its way to the 3rd and 4th quarters. This can be a great time to gather and tally results or confront the useless – clean up old projects, get rid of outmoded thought patterns and  attitudes in order to clear the way for the “New” Moon in 2 weeks.

Aquarius Blue Moon: 7/31/15 – 6:43 AM EDT * 3:43 AM PDT

The “Full” phase of the Moon intensifies the characteristics of the Astrology sign it’s in. When the Moon is Full in Watery Pisces, the last sign of the Zodiac, expect: emotion, creativity, hazy reality. Friday August 31, 2012, is the 2^nd Full Moon for this month. A rare occurrence, it only happens every 2 years or so – it’s referred to as “Blue”. (You know that expression – “once in a blue Moon”.)

However, back to Pisces – stay focused, be discerning. If things seem a little vague, you may want to delay any decision making or signing of documents. Your imagination will be stoked, therefore, this can be a great time for the arts. Use the heightened sensitivity to enjoy beautiful things. Spread some Pisces kindness among family and friends. Smile at nice looking strangers. (This is where that “discerning” thing comes in handy)

Aggressive, Fiery, Aries Moon for Sunday and Monday’s Labor Day. Be active, be curious, be lively, but stay out of mischief.

Have a marvelous Holiday!

FYI: Previous Full Moon was August 1, in Aquarius
