Welcome to the Taurus Full Moon, the time in the lunar calendar when the spotlight is on money and income, stability and security. As the first earth sign, Taurus aligns us with our basic material needs as well as the pleasures of life — taste, touch, smell. The full moon will be exact on November 5, 2025 at 8:20 am EST, 13 degrees Taurus-Scorpio. That’s 5:20 am Los Angeles, 1:20 pm London, 3:20 pm Johannesburg, 6:50 pm New Delhi, 12:20 am Sydney on November 6, and 2:20 am Auckland.
Full moons are decision points, the sign of the full moon acting as a lens for our experiences. They light up the sky, illuminate and concern or an issue in our lives. They can coincide with personal events.
When we have a full moon in Taurus, it means that the Sun is in Scorpio, two signs that are the axis of matter and the material world. Taurus is the physical world in full bloom, the fertility of creation. Scorpio is the physical world at the end of its growing cycle. The blossoms have long since gone. The leaves turn and fall to the ground. Death allows new life to bloom. The cycle continues.
Both Taurus and Scorpio are fixed signs along with Leo and Aquarius, signs that govern over our physical world. Taurus, as an earth sign, gets at the heart of our material needs as human beings — food, water, shelter, security. We may have different levels of personal comfort, but these are the basics that we all need and without them life cannot thrive.
So, a Taurus Full Moon puts our material lives in the spotlight. Do we have our basic needs met? (Of course, we should be so lucky because there are many who do not have food, water, shelter, and security.) As a result, we may be very conscious of taking inventory and storing up access to resources in the days around the full moon.
Venus, the ruler of the full moon, is in Libra, a sign that it is at home in. As a planet and archetype, Venus reminds us to share with others and cultivate generosity. There is a beauty that comes through cooking a meal for those we love, a wealth that comes through building connection and relationship.
For some, there is a strong financial theme to this full moon. We’re looking at our accounts and assets, we’re making decisions about spending and investing. Both Taurus and Scorpio govern property and real estate as well as loans and mortgages. Scorpio in particular spotlights estate planning and inheritances.
For others, the full moon gets into more philosophical points around value and worth, including self worth. Or there is a desire to make our physical lives more comfortable by creating beauty in our home and making a purchase that reflects this desire.
In the chart of the full moon, we find Venus in a tight spot between Jupiter, Pluto, and Chiron, an out-of-sign Grand Cross. Value and worth, stability and security may be themes that are pressing on a sore spot. A square to Pluto is an opportunity to make a change, but one that must be an overhaul. Venus is also at the apex of a yod with Neptune and Uranus. What we value, how we share with others, how we value ourselves has to change. A yod indicates a nonnegotiable.
Everything is cyclical. Allow what needs to end to end so that new life can take root in its place.
