The moon is on her way to being full this Wednesday November 5 in the earthy sign of Taurus at 7:19 am CST. Full moons occur every month when the sun and moon are in opposite signs at the exact same degree; for this particular lunation the sun will be at 13 degrees Scorpio meaning the moon will be in the opposite sign of Taurus at 13 degrees. Full moons are linked to completion, manifestation and illumination. What was once hidden can now be illuminated during a full moon. In astrology the moon is linked to emotions so when the moon is full we can feel like our emotions are full and overwhelming. Full moons are the perfect timing each month to get honest about how you’re feeling.
