"Circuit-Breaker": The TAURUS SUPERMOON at 24°♉01', Friday, November 15, 2024, 21:29 UTC
With Uranus, life circumstances carry an element of surprise, so be set for the unexpected: rude awakenings, sudden insights, abrupt changes in mood, decisions that feel like they come out of nowhere.
For all you stalwarts who steadfastly refuse to budge from your cushy little zones of comfort, and for the madcap revolutionaries out there, hell-bent on enacting drastic upheaval—or perhaps even seeking a touch of revenge—the cosmos has a couple of catalytic surprises up its sleeve. These are epic times, and they’re happening now as the universe throws down some celestial gauntlets that could shake even the most unflappable among us. So brace yourselves, my fellow travellers; strap in tightly now: the last Supermoon of 2024 arrives not as a gentle minder but as a cosmic circuitbreaker, breaking all stalemates and igniting dynamic detonations that will set our trajectory into the new age.
The last Supermoon of 2024 is certainly not pulling any punches. Occurring in the late degrees of steadfast Taurus and tightly conjunct with the unruly energy of an undignified Uranus, this Full Moon sets the stage for a dramatic face-off between the immovable and the unstoppable. As it opposes the intense Scorpio Sun, it seems we're thrust into a maelstrom of conflicting energies that threaten to pry us away from our dearest attachments and compel us to confront the uncomfortable truths we've been avoiding.
The Implacable Clash of Fixed Forces: Taurus Vs Scorpio
Taurus and Scorpio together represent one of the zodiac’s most unyielding dynamics. It’s a clash of persistence versus obsession, possession versus consumption, the stolid determination of fixed earth meeting the searing intensity of water. Taurus wants comfort, constancy, and a steady path forward, keeping life tangible and predictable. Scorpio thrives on the undercurrents—the secrets, the manipulations, the shadows that Taurus often tries to ignore. This fixed-polarity opposition means each side clings to its own reality: Taurus to its grounding, Scorpio to its lust to devour to the point of metamorphosis.
And therein lies the crux of this lunation. Under the glaring light of the Taurus Full Moon, we’re shown where we unconsciously cling too hard to comforts that have long since outlived their purpose. Perhaps it’s a relationship, a career path, a lifestyle or a personal belief that we hold onto for security or dread of the foreign or unknown. Taurus, stubborn and self-sufficient, is willing to endure almost anything to avoid the chaos of change. But Scorpio, ever watchful, pushes us to examine the things we’d rather leave buried, exposing every ounce of the emotional and psychological baggage that weighs us down.
For some, this may bring a reckoning in relationships—a time when unresolved resentments, buried insecurities, and possessive tendencies rise to the surface. The interchange is always confronting, and fixed signs seldom yield without breaking. This is no time for half-measures; either we face our own dark sides or risk the relationship being torn apart under the strain. For others, this Full Moon might bring intense introspection, a painful awareness of where we’ve been blocking our own growth out of fear. This polarity demands we confront where our desire for security has become an excuse to avoid the very work that Scorpio represents: the uncomfortable but necessary journey of self-knowledge and continued transformation.
Electrified Earth Moon/Uranus: Breaking up to Break Free
Now, here’s where things get a little more... unpredictable. Taurus loves the comfort of knowing what’s coming next, but with Uranus in the house, the planet of shocks and upsets, the past 6 years or so, has been far from the usual routine. Not surprisingly, a full Moon-Uranus conjunction throws a gnarly curveball into the mix, delivering a jolt to the otherwise steady Taurus energy. This isn’t the kind of lunation that, if affected, you can glide through unscathed. There’s a hard, head-on confrontation with the parts of your life that have fossilised. For anyone resisting change, this Full Moon pulls out the cosmic crowbar, wrenching apart the places in our lives that have become too small, too dumb, too slow and restrictive, and too predictable.
Emotionally, this aspect shakes the core. Expect to feel ungrounded, maybe even radicalised to the point of rebellion. It’s the inner urge to break from the norm, to embrace the unknown even if it feels uncomfortable. With Uranus, life circumstances always carry an element of surprise, so be prepared for the unexpected: rude awakenings, sudden insights, abrupt changes in mood, or decisions that feel like they come out of nowhere. For some, this might mean a break from relationships that have outlived their growth potential; for others, it could mean an unexpected opportunity or epiphany that jolts you to rethink your path entirely.
Yet, there’s an undeniable freedom that comes with this lunation. Uranus, ever the liberator, encourages us to let go of what’s no longer vital, to strip away the old structures and patterns that bind us. While this process is unnerving, it can also be profoundly freeing. The aim isn’t to cause chaos for the sake of it but to release you from the structures that no longer serve your highest purpose. In the days surrounding this Full Moon, pay attention to those moments of clarity and instinct, however disruptive they might feel. Sometimes, the things we resist or deny the most are the very things we need to welcome and embrace.
Against All Odds: Opposition to the Scorpio Sun
Over the past month, the Sun in Scorpio has increasingly plunged us into a realm where superficial comforts and easy answers simply just won’t cut it. Scorpio energy is extreme, often violent, demanding an uncompromising look beneath the surface, unearthing everything we’ve buried, forcing us to confront the shadows within ourselves—the fierce desires, the hidden grudges, the unspoken motives. Rather than dabbling about, it insists on the whole truth, raw and undiluted. Opposing this is the Full Moon in Taurus, typically steady and content, but now radicalised by Uranus into a bullish state of agitation. Under Uranus’s influence, Taurus’s mild, conservative nature becomes unsettled, forced to put its foot down to preserve the very comforts it normally relies upon. This dynamic creates a tension where the familiar security of Taurus meets the upheaval of Uranian independence—a clash that urges each of us to redefine what “safety” truly means.
This opposition introduces an internal struggle between the Sun’s transformative pull and the Moon’s obstinate resistance to change. If you’re clinging to a stagnant role, relationship, or way of being, this lunation may bring that whole deal to a breaking point. Scorpio, ruthlessly relentless in its pursuit of truth, forces a reckoning with even our most precious attachments, demanding we take a deep, life-or-death look at the ways in which we’ve allowed ourselves to stagnate. Surprisingly, the Bull, though typically resistant to change, now feels an impulsive urge to break free, yet remains uncertain of what lies on the other side. This creates a unique tension between Taurus’s desire for self-sufficiency and the push for a full-scale transformative evolution. The Moon needs continuity but is simultaneously charged with the awareness that true security cannot be achieved by clinging to the past.
The only solution here is a “revolutionary integration.” By grounding Scorpio’s transformative power in Taurus’s earthy strength, we find a way to make change feel stabilising, not chaotic. This lunation asks for an honest appraisal of what truly holds value in your life and what has become a hollow comfort. Are you clinging to a false notions of stability, something that restricts your growth? If so, Scorpio’s intensity will force you to either let go or endure increasingly uncomfortable tension. This Full Moon demands we take the bull by the horns, conduct a raw self-assessment, a choice to evolve beyond familiar but stifling routines, and to redefine security on our own terms, unshackling stagnation into grounded, purpose-driven release from the expired or decaying matter in our lives which has become dead weight.
The Broader Context: Pluto Edges into Aquarius and Saturn Stations in Pisces
Beyond this lunation, the larger astrological topography is primed for some yet unseen grand scale transformations. Scorpio’s ruler, Pluto, the planet of profound, unyielding change, is poised to enter Aquarius on November 20, a shift that signals the end of traditional hierarchies and a move toward collective empowerment and innovation. Pluto’s tenure in Capricorn has been a profound excavation, unearthing the decay within our societal structures: corruption, inequality, and abuse of authority. Now, as Pluto prepares to exit Capricorn, it leaves us with a crucial question: what have we unearthed in this time, and are we ready to apply those hard-won insights in building what comes next?
The transition from Capricorn to Aquarius harkens the close of an era steeped in authority based on status, patriarchal traditions, and rigid hierarchy. Aquarius, the sign of reform and progress, will champion a more egalitarian society, where individuality is respected within the framework of the collective. This won’t be easy as each of us clings to remnant of past structures, we all have much invested in the old, but as we shall see, the universal call will be to abandon outdated models, crumblings systems and adopt forward-thinking, inclusive values. This shift won’t be seamless; on the precipice of this new epoch, all that still clings to Capricorn’s conservative grasp will face the relentless Uranian forces of Aquarian change, dismantling anything that resists evolution and the march of futurism.
As Saturn stations direct in Pisces, its tense semi-square to Pluto marks a critical inflection point, one that crystallises our struggle between maintaining control and embracing collective adaptability. Traditionally ruling Capricorn and, in older texts, Aquarius, Saturn strives to create order, but in the elusive sign of Pisces, this control meets resistance, dissolving into realms that evade simple structure. The semi-square to Pluto intensifies this friction, highlighting our epochal need to pivot from individual ambition and rigid systems toward a collaborative resilience that prioritises shared, adaptable frameworks. Saturn’s lesson in Pisces is clear: survival now hinges on our ability to build structures that don’t just withstand, but thrive within, fluidity. As we step into the dawning age of Pluto in Aquarius, the demand is for a resilient solidarity, where individual control yields to collective empowerment—yet, this won’t be an easy transition. The old instinct to preserve personal autonomy battles fiercly against the call to surrender some individual entitlements for a more equitable, group-oriented future. Mars’s entry into Leo further intensifies this dynamic, as it heads toward another opposition to Pluto (Jan 6, 2025), stoking a fierce tension between indignant self-assertion and the forces that press for collective conformity.
Short-Term Perils and Dangers (Nov-Dec)
The Taurus Full Moon, conjunct Uranus, drives this ‘cicuit-breaker’point home with an urgent insistence: the time to cling to restrictive paradigms has ended. Uranus, awakening us to our limitations, demands that we strip away the false sense of stability found in brittle, outdated systems. Under this lunation’s light, we are confronted with the profound reality that traditional, man-made security installations can no longer hold. Pluto's final degrees in Capricorn, accompanied by Uranus’s electric influence, urge us to prepare for swift and radical upheaval.
Venus, Taurus’s ruler and currently in Capricorn, plays an essential role in this lunation’s transformative intensity. Venus is at her most authoritative and unromantic here and her quincunx to Mars in Leo challenges our ability to harmonise personal values with assertive action, exposing where personal agendas may conflict with collective demands. This aspect introduces friction between self-satisfaction and relational dynamics, particularly where individual pride clashes with the need to compromise. The square to Vesta further emphasises a confrontation with our own devotion and commitment: are our values aligned with our actions, or are they simply indulgent distractions from deeper responsibilities?
Mars’s tense opposition to Pluto amplifies these themes of power and conflict, intensifying our drive for self-assertion not through anger and rage but through surrender. It’s a pressure-cooker aspect that demands we confront how we wield influence—whether our power is constructive or whether it risks devolving into dominance and manipulation. Mars’s semi-square to Jupiter exacerbates this impatience, inciting impulsive decisions and an overconfidence that may lead us down risky paths, especially if we resist the necessity of cooperative change. Still, it’s what’s got to be done to get cracking.
In the collective context, this Full Moon carves a glaring mark through existing societal structures, dragging outdated economic systems, stale hierarchies, and restrictive political frameworks into stark exposure. Under Pluto’s penetrating gaze, these institutions face a crucial test: do they genuinely serve the greater good, or are they relics of a past that can no longer sustain us? With Uranus tightly aligned with the Moon, the message is clear: drastic changes are not a matter of “if” but “when,” and they are likely to come swiftly and without compromise. We stand at a precipice, gripped by the decaying framework of the past, facing the dizzying drop toward a future that demands radical realignment. The raw, unflinching beauty of this moment is its ruthless push into an uncharted paradigm—unsettling, relentless, and alien, yet undeniably emerging into our reality, demanding we adapt or risk being overwhelmed by its force.on, every unresolved wound, every unexamined attachment, every illusion of control is brought to the surface, challenging us to evolve or risk disintegration.
Practical Takeaways: What to Do Under This Taurus Full Moon
Challenge Stagnation: If there’s an area of your life where you’ve been stuck, this is the time to break free. Ask yourself where you’ve been holding on out of habit or fear, and consider what it might look like to release that grip. Change doesn’t have to be chaotic, but it does require courage and one executive action.
Welcome the Unknown: Uranus’s influence means things might not go according to plan, and that’s okay. Trust that letting go of rigid expectations can open you up to possibilities you hadn’t considered.
Evaluate Relationships: The Taurus-Scorpio polarity brings a focus on power dynamics in relationships. Are you holding on to someone for security, or is it time to let go? This Full Moon may illuminate hidden tensions, giving you the clarity needed to make changes.
Reassess Values: Venus in Capricorn asks you to get serious about what really matters. Take a look at where you’re investing your energy and whether it aligns with your long-term goals. Are you goals even realisable? This is a time to prioritise commitment to ‘what is’ over habitual conveniences.
Prepare for the Long Game: With Pluto shifting into Aquarius, we’re entering a new epoch, one filled with revolutions and upheavals. The changes you make now are part of a larger transformative process which leaves you thoroughly detached from the past and all its woes. Think beyond the immediate and consider how your actions align with the person you’re trying to become.
