Brace yourself for the unexpected under the full moon in Taurus on November 15 at 4:27 p.m. ET. As a fixed earth sign, Taurus is usually considered a beacon of stability; Taurus energy loves routine, consistency, and knowing what to expect. The full moon travels right next to Uranus, a disruptive planet of shock and surprise, adding an element of uncertainty to this year’s lunation. The moon in Taurus and the sun traveling through Scorpio bring attention to the axis highlighting our relationship with resources. How are you emotionally and financially resourced? Your sense of stability and how you show up in your relationships may be tested under these moonbeams.
Ruled by Venus—a planet associated with desire, values, finances, and aesthetics—full moons in Taurus can bring clarity to financial topics, help you embrace your values, and bring change to your relationships (or your relationship with pleasure and creativity). The Taurus-Scorpio axis also has to do with life (since Taurus embodies springtime in the Northern Hemisphere) and death (as Scorpio represents when the nights grow longer, darker, and colder). This doesn’t necessarily mean you will lose someone, but these opposing natures often usher in a period of symbolic death. This can be a positive period, inviting you to reflect on the impermanence within life itself.
Taurus is deeply connected to the senses, and you can have a realization or move through an event that helps you be more present. It’s time to stop living in the past or worrying about the future. Taurus enables you to embody your values and pushes you to decide how you want to live your life and make a difference now.
When is the next full moon in Taurus?
The full moon in Taurus perfects in the sky on November 15 at 4:27 p.m. ET. This brings you back to the new moon in Taurus on May 8. What intentions did you set around that time? Those seeds are now in full bloom.
What is the astrological meaning of a full moon?
When a full moon occurs, the sun and the moon are on opposite sides of the Earth and also sit in opposite zodiac signs across the sky from each other. The moon appears at its brightest, which is why astrologers associate this part of the cycle with illuminating topics or information previously obscured.
A full moon also marks the halfway point of the monthly lunar cycle. In astrology, this symbolizes a turning point, a moment of culmination or celebration, or a point of release. Whereas a new moon is a time to set new intentions, a full moon is typically associated with intentions materializing or coming to light.
What can you expect from the November 2024 full moon?
This year’s full moon in Taurus delivers quite a contrast to a typical full moon in Taurus. With the moon forming a tight conjunction (sitting right next to) shocking and liberating Uranus, there are bound to be some twists and turns ahead. Emotionally, this represents a moment of freedom or taking a risk that can help you get in touch with a more authentic version of yourself. Since Uranus is truly unpredictable, this moon could arrive with some high highs or low lows. Don’t pressure yourself to check things off your to-do list or stick with a plan—today’s energy is too erratic. Allow for as much flexibility as possible.
Luckily, the moon will also form gentle connections with Pluto in Capricorn and Neptune in Pisces, cultivating room for self-empowerment and healing. These planetary connections will help you process any surprises throughout the day so you can see the bigger picture and silver lining. Supportive conversations that feel transformational can also occur.
Venus, the ruling planet of the full moon, will be in Capricorn and inching toward a tight square with the Nodes of Fate and Destiny (celestial points representing our predetermined path). Even though we’re done with eclipse season, any time a planet forms a harsh aspect with the Nodes of Fate and Destiny, it can stir up eclipse vibes and similar storylines. You may feel pressured to make a decision about an important relationship or contract. It’s also possible that people who enter and exit your life at this time are fated or feel karmic somehow.
Change is unavoidable under this lunation, but surrendering to the cosmic ebbs and flows and listening to your intuition can help you feel more authentic. You’re willing to push past the discomfort—to reach a goal, you’ll need to do something you’ve never done before.
To understand how this unpredictable full moon in Taurus will affect you, read on for your sun, moon, and rising signs. Then, pick up a unique self-care practice to help move through this lunation with a greater sense of ease.

You may crave more privacy as you process some deeper feelings. As one relationship or situation ends, give yourself space to grieve, if necessary. You’re also more aware of how you’ve managed to get in your own way and which habits you can change to help you feel more in tune with your goals. You may also have a prophetic dream or receive a message from an ancestor or loved one. Pay attention to your intuition and gut responses today—they offer guidance and insight.
