Making Friends with our Shadow with the Full Moon in Taurus Lunar Eclipse
On November 19th, 2021 at 3:57 am EST, we enter the peak of the Full Moon in Taurus, which also happens to be a lunar eclipse. In the most basic sense, the energy of a lunar eclipse is like an intensified Full Moon.
Full Moons are the time when we work with our shadows. Our shadows are the things within us that we most often keep hidden, or at the volume of a whisper. During Full Moons, our shadow becomes a bit louder and that whisper can often turn into a scream.
While it may feel uncomfortable that these feelings seemingly come from nowhere, our shadows are always a part of us. They are the hidden part of us that comes forward during a Full Moon, offering us an opportunity to work with it…as the saying goes, you’ve got to feel it to heal it.
We are being made aware of what we are working with so we can work on it. All of us have shadowy aspects of who we are, and that is not something to be ashamed of. The more shame we bring to our shadows, the more power they have over us. The more we try to suppress it the more it subconsciously leads the show.
For this particular Full Moon in Taurus/Sun in Scorpio energy, we're going to courageously bring awareness to the shadow. And with that awareness and curiosity, we will release our judgment so that we can understand it. We will make friends with our shadows and have compassion for ourselves. And the more compassion we can find for ourselves, the more we can find for others.
Working with our shadows not only helps us, but it helps all the people we encounter. As we accept all of ourselves and become more whole, we allow and set an example for others to do the same.
I have been asked, how come every month I have to constantly work on this and why isn’t it a one and done, and the answer is evolution is an ongoing process. We will never just flip a switch and find ourselves fully healed. There are always layers, and if we’re honest with ourselves we will always find new things that we want to enhance or upgrade. That's part of this journey on Earth as a human.
A key difference to the journey being healing, rather than painful, is knowing that we can love and accept ourselves throughout the whole process. We can choose to work on our flaws while being compassionate towards ourselves when we are still exhibiting the flawed behaviors. It is in that space that true growth and healing can happen.
The energy of this moon brings us into contact with things that we're a little obsessive about (for example, all the material things in the world, what our friends and neighbors are doing that we aren’t, what they have that we don’t, etc.). Taurus energy is wanting to have all that material stuff. And by all means, it is ok to want and to get the “stuff’, but when we become obsessed with it, and we are constantly trying to grab all those things, we know that we’re in that more shadow energy.
When we notice ourselves feeling ashamed or upset by a behavior we’re exhibiting we can ask ourselves some questions:
How would I rather be in this situation?
Are there different choices I can make in this situation?
Why am I feeling I need to have that thing?
What's the underlying thing that I believe it's giving me my worth from if I own that thing?
Can I create that feeling of worth inside of me before I have that thing?
This isn’t to stop ourselves from wanting, but rather to choose a different, more nourishing path to get to where we want to go. We are looking to enjoy the journey, rather than just the final destination.
As the Sun is in Scorpio, it’s important to notice the progress we make, not just constantly obsessing over the next layer of the transformation. The shadow side has us consumed with finding the flaws, and therefore not noticing all the healing we have already done. If you notice yourself constantly blowing up your situation so that you can rebuild again then you can thank the energy of the Scorpion shadow for that...
This is where we make sure we are not obsessively trying to heal ourselves. We want to sit and acknowledge how far we have already come. Because that is what will bring compassion forward and enable us to experience forgiveness for ourselves. And when we're kinder to ourselves, we are kinder to others, because when we can forgive ourselves, we can forgive others. We can make space for humanness.
And that's what I invite you to work with during this
Full Moon in Taurus workshop.
This Taurus Full Moon Lunar Eclipse offers a beautiful opportunity for us to bring awareness to our shadows. and the shadows of others, to release judgment towards it and to see the beauty in our progress, even when we're not quite where we were hoping to be.
So let’s make space for something new to grow and welcome in the transformation that is available to us with the powerful energy of this expansive Full Moon.
Full Moons offer the opportunity to release what is blocking you from what you are looking to create. These releases make room for the all things you want to create. This can set you on a path to live a life beyond your wildest dreams.
