Moon in Taurus

Full Moon of Scorpio-Taurus will be exact at 10:24p PT | 1:24a(Sa) ET |5:24a(Sa) UT

(This time has been corrected from a previous posting, which gave it much earlier and was a mistake.)

We feel "full" at the Full Moon. Consciousness expands. We think of more things all together and fancy ourselves omniscient.

Medical or health matters may have been prominent yesterday and today. This could be in a good sense, with help or remedy.

Again we have the "blazing fireplace in a deserted home." Children should not be abandoned. We guard those we cherish, and our treasured possessions and homes. 

The defensiveness we feel is understandable, in a changing, turbulent and uncertain world. Yet we could rise to spiritual security through spiritual consciousness. Isaiah rebukes those who "put their trust in chariots many in number / and in horsemen in their thousands, / but do not look to the Holy One of Israel / or seek guidance of the Lord!"  (31:1) 

  "Come back, keep peace, and you will be safe;

in stillness and in staying quiet, there lies your strength.

  But you would have none of it; you said, No,

    we will take horse and flee; 

    therefore you shall be put to flight:

"Yet the Lord is waiting to show you his favor,

  yet he yearns to have pity on you;

    for the Lord is a God of justice.

      Happy are all who wait for him!"  

--Isaiah 30: 15-18

We are getting adept at difficult human relations, yet they remain on a tenuous line, on the brink, or wavering from here to there, with dualities and oppositions structuring the nature of the game: "An eagle and a large white dove turning one into the other." (This sounds a little like Donald Trump's foreign policy.)

There's a deep emotional situation in which love is very strong, but perhaps unrecognized and not returned. One's loved one does not know that one loves, or how much. 

Yet there is the obstinacy of the bull (Taurus). Some will insist on their own way, pawing the ground and glowering. This could have good results if they are men or women of goodwill.
