Full Moon 13°22’ Taurus 🌕 Nov 5th, 2025, at 5:19 am PT

What’s particularly notable about this upcoming Full Moon in Taurus occurring on Wednesday November 5th is that Uranus’s current retrograde will slip back into Taurus just 2 days later.

I strongly believe this foreshadows the road ahead for millions of people across the globe when it comes to what we used to rely on for comfort and what we can no longer assume will hold. We can no longer look the other way and ignore the further destabilization of the systems, both collective and personal that once offered emotional and material safety.

It is Scorpio season, with Black Moon Lilith co-present in this sign and opposing the Full Moon, so it’s not surprising that the veil is thin around the harsher truths we would rather avoid. This transit exposes the cost of looking away. We are being confronted with the real-world consequences of top down repression, concentrated wealth, and the long-standing myth that trickle down economics was ever designed to support the masses. The imbalance is becoming more and more obvious.

When we acknowledge this collective shadow, the full moon will also make us prudently ask ourselves what we perceive is enough to sustain life.

For some, enough means having the ability to pay rent without anxiety. Or not giving it a second thought to go to the hospital during a medical emergency because you’re afraid the cost will bankrupt you. For others, it’s the freedom to live without constant productivity and backbreaking work. And for many, it’s the quiet dream of stability and safety of life that feels perpetually out of reach.

Lately, now when I go on social media, these are the questions that I constantly see being posted on the internet from someone currently living in the US:

• “The government is shut down. I’m still legally required to go to work even though there’s no paycheck. Do I have enough savings to survive a standoff with no clear end?”
• “If I sold my house in the States and downsized to a more modest home abroad, would that be enough to retire and still feel secure?”
• “I want to donate to my local food bank, but my health insurance just went up by 70%. Do I have enough to give back without jeopardizing my own stability?”
• “My mom, who’s relied on SNAP benefits for food, just lost access. She might starve. Would donating my plasma be enough to help her when I’m already living paycheck to paycheck?”

The thread running through each of these confessions is the same: an exhausting, ongoing calculation of what it now takes to simply live.

If you feel yourself somewhere inside these questions, let this land gently: you are not the problem. You are not failing. You are not mismanaging your life. You are not lacking discipline or drive. The system is broken and is failing you. Do not collapse structural injustice into personal shame.

“Enough” is no longer a number on a bank statement. It has become an emotional baseline of safety, dignity, and belonging, a human right that too many are being convinced they must earn.

This period of time, many may ask themselves:

“How much is enough to get by? To be happy? Or to simply survive?”

And yet, how do we emotionally make sense of “enough” while enduring financial and moral gaslighting from the top?

The narrative of scarcity trickles down like poison…convincing us that we must calculate our humanity against the backdrop of someone else’s profit margin. We’re told to budget our compassion, to donate responsibly, to question whether others are deserving of help when entire institutions gorge on excess.

I wished I knew how to answer to these tough questions.

To even try would risk perpetuating the illusion that “enough” can be solved through individual morality while collective inequity remains untouched.

With Mars and Mercury transiting through Sagittarius and opposing Uranus in Gemini, this conversation will increasingly grow louder, more volatile as time goes on. The lower octave of mars and mercury in sagittarius can look like self-righteous debates/arguments that actually is cruel so we need to wield our thoughts and tongues with more responsibility and open-mindedness right now.

Looking more closely at this Full Moon, we also need to look at Taurus’ ruling planet which is in Venus in Libra squaring both Pluto in Aquarius and Jupiter in Cancer. This uncomfortable square further reveals the uncomfortable negotiations we face when ideals of justice meet the power structures that distort them.

Venus square Pluto also exposes the shadow side of of what we call “harmony”, the places where we compromise our truth to keep the peace, or cling to relationships, systems, and ideals that no longer serve us because they promise stability. In Aquarius, Pluto’s influence speaks to systemic transformation and the collective unconscious. We are witnessing how institutions, governments, and digital networks use beauty in the form of visual branding, PR one-liners of what’s moral, what defines “progress” as false veneers to mask control. Venus wants us to challenge and question the systems that were designed to remain unequal.

Your money holds power.

Jupiter will also station retrograde a week later after this full moon. The collective focus turns inward, asking us to look closely at where our money, time, and energy flow, and whether those flows align with what we claim to value.

I think of the upcoming national coordinated protest here in the US called Blackout the System where it feels very fitting for both retrogrades in Uranus and Jupiter. In a late-capitalistic world that feeds on endless consumption, “enough” becomes a quiet rebellion.

Jupiter’s reversal in Cancer calls for radical redirection, to withdraw our participation from systems that thrive on exploitation and reinvest it into the nourishment of life itself. Every dollar becomes a vote. Every purchase, an energetic contract.

Every act of withholding from corporate greed is also an act of feeding community resilience.

Redirecting how we spent our money to feeding the lifeline of our local communities, neighborhoods, food banks, pet shelters is where Jupiter can flourish at it’s best. Wealth and abundance multiplies through shared community belonging.

Blackout the system is one of the many ways to withdraw consent from the illusion that our worth is measured through consumption.

This Full Moon in Taurus ultimately also reminds us that that true growth happens not when we own more, but when we remember we are already part of something worth protecting.

Recommendations for this Full Moon 🌕💫✨

Reassess your definition of “enough.”

No one else can do it for you except for yourself (and maybe your accountant). Write down three things that make you feel secure that cost nothing, community, time, peace, or health. These become your baseline for contentment when material security feels unstable.

This is a Taurean Full Moon after all…so feed yourself real food, rest, and care before feeding systems that exhaust you. The more resourced you are emotionally and physically, the more sustainable your generosity becomes. Cook a meal with friends, share leftovers, start a community potluck. Remember that generosity multiplies in proximity.

Audit your money flow with consciousness.

Look at one week of spending and ask: Does this purchase feed life enrichment or feed the corporate billionaires? Even one redirected expense, a small local purchase instead of a corporation, is a vote toward resilience.

Support your local lifelines if you’re able to.

Buy produce from local farmers’ markets, subscribe to community-supported agriculture, or choose independent creators and small businesses when possible. Circulating money locally keeps communities alive.

If you can give, give directly where impact is tangible: food banks, mutual-aid groups, local shelters, community fridges, school supply drives. If you can’t give money, volunteer time, share resources, or amplify their work online.

If donating feels impossible right now, check in with your elderly neighbor, split groceries with a friend, exchange skills. Mutual aid begins with simple reciprocity. Care without hierarchy or pity.

Re-educate & strengthen your consumption reflex.

Jupiter retrograde in Cancer asks us to slow down before buying out of emotion. Try a “24-hour pause” before any non-essential purchase. Often restraint and having a long term vision on where every dollar goes becomes its own form of abundance & form of activism.

Tend your digital boundaries.

With Mars and Mercury in Sagittarius opposing Uranus in Gemini, information fatigue can drain energy. Take breaks from doom scrolling and choose one issue or cause to support deeply instead of scattering your focus.

Aries Rising

→ 2nd House: Money, self-worth, possessions, values

This Full Moon in Taurus activates your 2nd house of resources, self-worth, and survival instincts, while the Sun and Black Moon Lilith in Scorpio illuminate your 8th house of shared finances, power, and dependency. The tension between these two houses asks you to examine the value exchange between what you give and what you receive emotionally, materially, and energetically. For months, you’ve been quietly re-evaluating what sustains you, but now the question grows louder: What truly makes me feel safe? Taurus governs your sense of stability, yet with Uranus retrograding through this house, the definition of stability keeps changing. Sudden expenses, shifts in income, or an internal realization about financial autonomy could surface, pushing you to detach from systems, jobs, or relationships that make you feel beholden.

If you’ve felt pressure to “hold it all together” for others, whether in your relationships, career, or community…this lunation shows you where the imbalance lies. The tension between giving and depletion becomes visible. You may see how much labor, emotional or otherwise, has gone uncompensated or unacknowledged. As Jupiter stations retrograde in your 4th house of home and emotional foundation, your attention turns inward. You’re being asked to reassess what “enough” means on the deepest, most personal level. Not just enough money, but enough belonging, rest, nourishment, and privacy. The call is to redirect your energy toward what fortifies your roots, your literal and emotional home base. This could mean prioritizing family needs, divesting from exploitative work structures, or redefining what security looks like in your body and in your daily life.

Taurus Rising

→  1st House: Identity, body, visibility, personal expression

This is your Full Moon. It lands in your 1st house of identity, body, and self-definition, opposing the Sun and Black Moon Lilith in your 7th house of relationships, contracts, and alliances. What’s being illuminated now is how you’ve shaped yourself in response to others and whether that reflection still feels true. With Uranus retrograding back into your sign just days later, change is not optional. The parts of your life that have felt predictable or “stable enough” are shifting again, asking for a deeper embodiment of freedom. This doesn’t mean chaos for chaos’s sake though.

Uranus retrograding back in Taurus means peeling away what’s become false security. If you’ve been clinging to old versions of yourself. Venus, your ruling planet, sits in Libra squaring Pluto in Aquarius and Jupiter in Cancer, revealing tension between who you’ve been and who you’re becoming. You’re rebalancing your energy between visibility and rest, between being needed and being nourished. Jupiter’s upcoming retrograde in your 3rd house invites a quieter kind of activism. It asks you to think about how your voice, your words, and your local choices ripple outward. Every purchase, every conversation, every “no” to overconsumption is part of the rebellion. Simultaneously, you’re also remembering that you are not the things you own, the roles you fulfill, or the peace you keep for others.

Gemini Rising

→ 12th House: Rest, endings, surrender, intuition

This Taurus Full Moon lights up your 12th house of subconscious, endings, rest, and spiritual integration. Opposing the Sun and Black Moon Lilith in Scorpio, this lunation pulls your attention to the unspoken contracts that quietly drain your vitality in your 6th house. You may feel a slow unraveling of old work rhythms, coping mechanisms, or service patterns that have run their course. With Uranus retrograding back into your 12th house just two days later, hidden stressors or suppressed emotions could resurface. The universe is asking you to tend what you’ve avoided, burnout, grief, or the fatigue of constant mental labor. For you, security is often mental: having information, strategy, and connection. This is a moment to release control over what you can’t fix or fully understand, and instead cultivate peace within the unknown.

Venus in Libra squares both Pluto in Aquarius and Jupiter in Cancer, activating your creative and financial sectors. This dynamic tension asks how you balance inspiration with sustainability — especially in a world that monetizes attention. You may feel pulled between producing for others and creating for yourself. As Jupiter prepares to station retrograde, it’s time to rethink where your energy and currency flows. What are you funding with your attention? Your words? Your worry? You may feel the urge to unplug, to limit your consumption of media or social commentary, to let your mind rewild. Security for you now is not in being everywhere, but in protecting the sanctity of your inner world. What you withhold from the chaos becomes your quiet act of liberation.

Cancer Rising

→ 11th House: Community, friendships, future vision, collective purpose

This Taurus Full Moon activates your 11th house of community, collective resources, and social vision, opposing the Sun and Black Moon Lilith in Scorpio in your 5th house of self-expression, creativity, and joy. The tension between these two houses asks: What do I want to give the collective, and what do I want to give to myself?

With Uranus retrograding back into Taurus just two days after this lunation, you’re being asked to rethink your role within larger systems, the communities you give your time, voice, and money to. Have your alliances evolved alongside your values? Are you aligning your resources with people and causes that genuinely reflect what you care about, or are you still performing loyalty to outdated networks? The landscape of belonging is shifting, and your soul is craving more authenticity in how you participate.

Venus in Libra squares Pluto in Aquarius and Jupiter in your own sign, highlighting a negotiation between your personal stability and your larger social conscience. You may be feeling pulled between caring for your immediate circle and engaging in broader movements for justice or reform. Jupiter in Cancer amplifies your instinct to nurture and protect, but this same instinct can turn into over-functioning, giving so much that you may deplete yourself. As Jupiter prepares to station retrograde, the cosmos is asking you to redefine generosity: less martyrdom, more sustainability. Give in ways that feed both you and the world you love.

Leo Rising

→ 10th House: Career, reputation, legacy, public life

This Taurus Full Moon rises at the very top of your chart, illuminating your 10th house of career, visibility, and legacy. It stands opposite the Sun and Black Moon Lilith in Scorpio in your 4th house of home, emotional safety, and ancestral roots. You’re making sense of what the world sees of you versus what you protect behind closed doors. With Uranus retrograding back into your 10th house just two days after the Full Moon, the narrative of your professional life or long-term goals may be shifting again. Unexpected disruptions around work, reputation, or leadership could arise. If you’ve been chasing success defined by outdated hierarchies, Uranus is asking you to reclaim authorship of your own definition of “making it.”

Jupiter in Cancer, preparing to station retrograde in your 12th house, signals that the next wave of growth will happen behind the scenes. You may realize that rest, retreat, and spiritual grounding need to be prioritized way more for you to find balance between your career and at home. What kind of legacy do you want your name to carry when systems collapse? The Taurus–Scorpio axis reminds you that stability without integrity doesn’t work long term for a system that’s already failing. The real prestige lies in knowing your values so intimately that no external validation can define your worth.

Virgo Rising

→ 9th House: Wisdom, beliefs, travel, publishing, higher learning

This Taurus Full Moon illuminates your 9th house of truth, philosophy, and long-distance horizons, opposing the Sun and Black Moon Lilith in Scorpio in your 3rd house of information, communication, and daily thought patterns. You may ask yourself at this time, “What truth feels alive for me now, and what borrowed beliefs am I finally ready to release?”

With Uranus retrograding back into your 9th house just two days after this lunation, your worldview is undergoing a subtle but profound evolution. What you once considered stable ground, your faith, politics, education, or sense of direction may feel suddenly fluid and therefore will change. This is a necessary part of your soul’s journey and evolution. Uranus is freeing you from inherited dogma, outdated career trajectories, or belief systems rooted in scarcity.

Venus in Libra squares Pluto in Aquarius and Jupiter in Cancer, bringing this awakening down to the level of your relationships and daily exchanges. Conversations that used to feel comfortable might now expose imbalances in power or privilege. You may see how language, the words you choose, the information you share shapes your integrity in a world where misinformation runs rampant. Jupiter’s upcoming retrograde in Cancer, activating your 11th house, asks you to reflect on your social ecosystem: Who expands your worldview, and who confines it? Which communities genuinely feed your vision for justice and belonging?

Libra Rising

→ 8th House: Intimacy, shared resources, transformation, depth

This Taurus Full Moon illuminates your 8th house of shared resources, power dynamics, and psychological depth, opposing the Sun and Black Moon Lilith in Scorpio in your 2nd house of personal values, self-worth, and financial sovereignty. The focus here is on the energetic contracts you’ve inherited, the unspoken agreements about who holds power, who carries debt, and who gets to feel secure. For you, Libra Rising, this lunation pulls into view the imbalances you’ve tolerated for the sake of peace. It exposes the ways you’ve been asked to give more than you receive, especially in relationships, collaborations, and financial arrangements. With Uranus retrograding back into your 8th house, sudden revelations around shared money, taxes, or joint commitments could surface. Whatever you need to do during this lunation goes back to Taurus wanting you to remember that self-worth isn’t negotiable currency.

Venus, your ruling planet, sits in your own sign squaring Pluto in Aquarius and Jupiter in Cancer, two planetary heavyweights demanding that you reconcile your personal harmony with collective imbalance. Pluto in Aquarius pushes you to see how even your pursuit of fairness can be co-opted by systems built on inequality. Jupiter in Cancer inflates professional demands or family expectations that may stretch your emotional resources too thin. As Jupiter prepares to station retrograde, you’re being invited to pause and re-evaluate what kind of emotional and financial exchanges feel regenerative and can sustain you long term.

Also with With Mars and Mercury moving through Sagittarius opposing Uranus in Gemini, the social noise is deafening. Everyone has opinions; few are listening. Withdraw your energy from arguments that go nowhere.

Scorpio Rising

→ 7th House: Relationships, partnerships, contracts, collaborations

This Taurus Full Moon lands in your 7th house of relationships, partnerships, and contracts, directly opposing the Sun and Black Moon Lilith in your sign. This lunation shows how much you’ve changed, and how certain dynamics haven’t evolved with you. With Uranus retrograding back into your 7th house just two days later, relational structures you thought were stable could shift again. Some connections will need their dynamics reflected upon to make some changes, or some connections could end entirely. It depends on the situation to power imbalances, unspoken resentments, or dependency loops that keep you anchored to outdated versions of yourself.

Ultimately, this lunation shows you that the people you align with now must reflect your principles. Pluto pushes you to confront emotional control patterns inherited from family or culture, the ones that equate love with sacrifice. Jupiter, preparing to station retrograde in your 9th house, asks you to broaden your definition of partnership. Love is no longer about obligation but more focused on shared vision, shared ethics, shared nourishment. Also keep in mind, with Mars and Mercury in Sagittarius opposing Uranus in Gemini, conversations around money, fairness, and commitment may feel volatile. Let discomfort do its job: clearing the air, breaking old contracts, freeing you to connect with those who meet your truth without fear.

Sagittarius Rising

→ 6th House: Health, daily rhythm, service, work environment

This Taurus Full Moon illuminates your 6th house of work, health, and daily life rhythms, opposing the Sun and Black Moon Lilith in Scorpio in your 12th house of rest, spirituality, and the unconscious. The axis between these two houses exposes your relationship with productivity, what you owe your labor to, and what your body owes you. You’re realizing that constant output isn’t the same as meaningful contribution. This lunation spotlights where the system has conditioned you to confuse exhaustion with virtue. If you’ve been running on fumes, working overtime, people-pleasing, or numbing yourself with busyness, this Full Moon delivers that epiphany for you. With Uranus retrograding back into your 6th house just two days after this lunation, disruptions at work or in your routines may shake things up, canceled projects, sudden schedule changes, or unexpected health reminders. None of this is random. It’s your body’s rebellion against overextension.

Venus in Libra squares Pluto in Aquarius and Jupiter in Cancer, drawing attention to how your values around work, service, and money are shifting. The Libra–Aquarius–Cancer tension here asks: Who benefits from your labor? Who profits from your compassion? Jupiter, preparing to station retrograde in your 8th house, urges a deeper reflection on resource exchange, not just financially, but emotionally. Are you being compensated energetically for what you give, or are you spiritually underpaid? With Mars and Mercury transiting your sign and opposing Uranus in Gemini, you may feel pulled between speaking up and staying grounded. The challenge is to resist reacting from outrage alone. Use your voice strategically, not impulsively. Choose actions that protect your peace while still pushing for progress.

Capricorn Rising

→ 5th House: Creativity, self-expression, pleasure, romance

This Taurus Full Moon lights up your 5th house of creativity, joy, and self-expression, opposing the Sun and Black Moon Lilith in Scorpio in your 11th house of collective purpose and belonging. The tension here asks: What part of your joy has been politicized? What part of your creativity has been shaped by what the group expects from you?

For months, your energy has been devoted to maintaining structure, making things work, holding it together, showing up with competence. But this lunation presses on the softer, more vulnerable question: “What do I actually want to create?” Taurus reminds you that pleasure is productive, that art and joy are forms of resistance in a system that benefits from burnout.

With Uranus retrograding back into your 5th house just two days after this lunation, your creative process or sense of fulfillment could experience a shake-up. Projects may shift direction. What once felt safe may now feel stale. You’re being called to reinvent the way you create that helps you connect back to your body and the pleasures of life. The most radical thing you can do right now is enjoy something without the impulse to monetize it. Jupiter’s upcoming retrograde in Cancer will also ask you to review your partnerships and collaborations at this time. The coming months will reveal where your energy truly multiplies and where it quietly erodes.

Aquarius Rising

→ 4th House: Home, family, foundations, emotional safety

This Taurus Full Moon lights up your 4th house of home, roots, land, and emotional grounding, with the Sun and Black Moon Lilith in Scorpio activating your 10th house of career, visibility, and public responsibility. The pressure you may be feeling is real. You are being shown the gap between the life you present to the world and the private reality that holds you together. With Uranus retrograding back into your 4th house just two days after this lunation, your sense of home or stability may shift again. This could look like changes in living arrangements, family dynamics, housing costs, or a sudden urge to relocate or simplify. For you, home has never been about tradition anyway. Uranus is stripping away whatever feels stale, performative, or rooted in survival conditioning rather than genuine belonging.

Pluto in Aquarius is asking you to step into a more authentic form of self-respect, one that is not defined by over-productivity at your own expense. Jupiter preparing to station retrograde in your 6th house reminds you that care of the body, nervous system, and day-to-day life is an absolute non-negotiable if you want to make a long term impact here in this lifetime. With Mars and Mercury in Sagittarius opposing Uranus in Gemini, there may be a push to stay informed, engaged, outspoken, active. But Taurus teaches a quieter truth. You are more effective when you are rooted. You do not need to attend every crisis. You need to be resourced enough to participate in the long arc of change.

Pisces Rising

→ 3rd House: Communication, mindset, learning, local environment

This Taurus Full Moon highlights your 3rd house of communication, thinking patterns, local environment, and daily exchanges, while the Sun and Black Moon Lilith in Scorpio illuminate your 9th house of belief, worldview, and truth. This lunation brings a moment of clarity around how your thoughts have been shaped by the instability around you. You may be questioning the narratives you have inherited from family, culture, or media. Your mind is in recalibration mode. The Full Moon in Taurus wants to bring simplicity back into your mental world. Less noise. So you can hear yourself think and choose what to believe in more clearly.

With Uranus retrograding back into Taurus two days after the Full Moon, your thinking and communication style may undergo a noticeable shift. This can look like a sudden change in how you speak up, maybe feeling called to share your voice in a more honest or grounded way or rewiring your old thought loops that kept you in fear or confusion. You may feel less tolerant of vague spirituality or empty optimism and more drawn to practical wisdom that has roots in the body and lived experience. Pisces rising is intuitive by nature, but Uranus here pushes you to make your intuition actionable. You may also notice where others speak in a way that uplifts or drains you. Jupiter preparing to station retrograde in your 5th house asks you to reconnect with the kind of joy, learning, and creativity that comes from genuine self-expression. Your voice becomes a tool for healing when it is not edited for palatability.
