Full Blood Moon / Near-Total Lunar Eclipse in Taurus November 19th, 2021
Early Friday at 3:58 am EST., the Full Moon is a partial (almost total) lunar eclipse. The Earth’s shadow will cover 98% of the moon. Lunar Eclipses are when the moon, sun, and Earth stand in a line, with the Earth in the middle. The Earth’s shadow cast onto the moon, giving the Full Moon a reddish, coppery-hue and the nickname “Blood Moon.”
Novembers Lunar Cycle is known as the Beaver Moon Cycle (New Beaver Moon and Full Beaver Moon). In November, Beavers began to shelter in their lodges with the food they collected and stored to survive the long winter ahead. During the Fur trade, North Americans trapped the beavers for their winter-ready pelts.
Other Names:
1. Digging / Scratching Moon (referencing the animals foraging for fallen nuts & Bears digging their winter den)
2. Deer Rutting Moon (at this time of the year, Deer’s sought out for mates)
3. Whitefish Moon (the spawning time for whitefish)
4. Frost Moon or Freezing Moon (referencing the seasonal change and decreasing temperature)
This lunar Eclipse is builds on the nodes in Sagittarius and Gemini. The Sagittarius South Node shows us to respectfully let go of beliefs, which we no longer resonate with. The Gemini North Node sparks a desire to embrace new and more logical ways of thinking. However, the full moon is in the sign of Taurus, carrying the energy of resisting change. Expect an increase of arguments between people with opposing points of view. Everyone has beliefs that feel “right” and the most rational to US, but remember every single person is on their journey, and every single person has their views. No two people have the same beliefs. Openly discuss your newfound beliefs while respecting others’ religions and philosophies. Who are we to judge and criticize another when we are all experiencing life differently? Whether you agree or not, you may learn something and you certainly will not gain anything by being disrespecting another person.
Ah, Full Moons, a time when the moon (currently in Taurus) opposes the sun (currently in Scorpio – Taurus’s opposite sign) our intuitions are heightened, our emotions are running wild, and hidden truths discovered. Some have trouble even sleeping and women who are very in tune with the moon have a synced mensural cycle, during a Full (or New) Moon. Full Moons show us what has run its course and needs to be removed in our lives. Thank the (relationship, job, habit, etc.) for serving it’s purpose and make room for something new to fill it’s space.
However, this is no ordinary Full Moon. This is an almost total (98%) Lunar Eclipse. Fated events will occur and put us where we need to be, trust the Gods/ Universe/ whatever beautiful thing you believe in – trust. Expect strong emotions to be more stirred up and an intense look at our shadow selves (the darker parts of us), ESPECIALLY during Scorpio Season. Do not worry though, dear. Once we recognize parts of our shadow-selves and how they are blocking us from being in an energy of love, we get to release them. It may not be easy, but theres no better time to do so than on a full moon, except for during a lunar eclipse.
This is a game-changing event, in which you will be able to build a more deeply fulfilling, secure life.
Taurus, symbolized by the Bull in astrology, is a security-focused, sensual, grounded earth sign. Ruled by the planet of love, Venus, and deeply connected to the 5 senses; smell, taste, touch, hearing, and seeing. The main focus will be on romantic relationships, money, self-worth, self-respect, security, and boundaries.
As Mercury sits opposite the moon, during this eclipse, there will be more confusion, less clarity, and most likely a few wars of words. You may feel the need to take a stand on something in a stubborn “I said what I said” way, but the situation may call for a more open minded point of view.
