What this lunation illuminates
A full moon in Taurus brings to light your need for stability, softness and the concrete, while the Sun in Scorpio works in depth on what must transform. What is ripe is harvested, what weighs is set down.
Good days to slow down, feel what truly nourishes you, and let go of what only holds on out of habit.
The Vedic layer: Ashwini
Your Moon moves through Ashwini, the nakshatra of beginnings and vital drive. Something in you knows how to start, to restart, to set things in motion again: your soul loves departures, and getting back on your feet often comes to you through action rather than waiting.
