Embracing Transformation Under the Full Moon in Taurus

November 14, 20244 min read

Tomorrow’s Full Moon arrives in the sign of Taurus, grounding us with the earth sign’s steady energy as we’re invited to release, reflect, and reconnect with what truly matters. Taurus, ruled by Venus, is associated with stability, self-worth, sensuality, and the material world. This full moon is a powerful time to examine how we feel about security, pleasure, and comfort. Taurus’s grounding influence encourages us to let go of anything standing in the way of self-acceptance, abundance, and inner peace.

With Taurus’s strong connection to earthly pleasures and stability, this Full Moon helps us shift our focus toward inner values and invites us to release attachments to external sources of validation, security, or comfort that are no longer fulfilling. This energy makes it an ideal time for grounding rituals and for connecting deeply with the physical body and the senses as we seek balance.

This ritual aligns with Taurus’s grounded energy, helping you to shed unneeded burdens and bring comfort and peace into your space. With Taurus’s influence, the focus is on self-worth, inner stability, and physical well-being.

What You’ll Need:

  • A green or white candle (symbolizing Taurus’s earthy energy and purity)

  • A piece of paper and pen

  • A small bowl of water

  • Doterra essential oils: Lavender, Frankincense, and Cedarwood

  • A lighter or matches

  • A grounding crystal (such as green aventurine, jade, or smoky quartz)

Steps:

  1. Set Up and Center
    In a quiet space, light the candle to represent the illumination of the Full Moon’s energy. Take a few deep breaths and feel yourself connecting with the earth beneath you. Imagine yourself grounding deeply, rooted in the steady energy of Taurus.

  2. Apply Essential Oils for Grounding and Clarity
    Combine these Doterra essential oils:

    • Lavender: for calming and clarity.

    • Frankincense: for grounding and spiritual connection.

    • Cedarwood: for emotional stability and inner peace.

    Add a drop of each oil to a diffuser, or mix them with a carrier oil and apply to your pulse points, the bottoms of your feet, or your chest. Breathe deeply, feeling the earthiness of the oils anchoring you to the present moment, bringing calm and clarity.

  3. Reflect on Security and Self-Worth
    Taurus invites us to connect to our sense of stability and self-worth. Reflect on the following questions:

    • What aspects of my life feel stable and grounding?

    • Are there attachments or beliefs that no longer serve my sense of worth or peace?

    • How can I bring more simplicity and contentment into my life?

    Write your responses on the paper, focusing on what you feel ready to release to invite in greater peace and fulfillment.

  4. Release with Water
    Hold the paper over a small bowl of water and say:
    “I release all that holds me back from my inner peace and worth. I am grounded, whole, and complete within myself.”

    Place the paper in the water to symbolise letting go of these burdens. Later, you may dispose of the water outdoors or in a garden to complete the release.

  5. Ground and Close
    Take a few minutes to hold your grounding crystal, feeling its weight in your hands as you set an intention for stability and self-worth. When you’re ready, thank the Full Moon and Taurus energy for their guidance and blow out the candle to conclude the ritual.
