The Super Full Moon in Taurus occurs on November 5 at 5:19 AM Pacific Time and 8:19 AM Eastern Time. This Supermoon is the brightest of the year and falls simultaneously with the Taurid meteor showers, making it a magnificent spectacle. The Moon is in proximity to the Earth, appearing bigger than usual. We will feel our emotions grander, making our hearts yearn for kindness and empathy. Not only will we want these sentiments, but we’re offering them to those we care about with pure intentions — no strings attached.
The Full Moon in Taurus aspects the Nodes of Destiny, which are on the Pisces and Virgo lunar axis. This karmic interaction allows us to assess the direction of our lives. We are being astrologically asked to forge a path for ourselves. The direction we see fit and opt to follow is going to be aligned with our purpose and fate, so make sure to give it a lot of forethought before jumping in. Understanding what we are committing to is vital, as it'll allow us to have a comprehension of expectations. We can forge a better path for our present and future by looking inward at our desires.
At this time, we are being cosmically tasked to look at what brings us pleasure and joy. Assessing these matters won't be hard because we're in the mood to seek fulfillment, and all that we do, self-care, indulgence, and decadence, are essential right now. The lunation offers a chance to lean into our hedonistic attributes, which could mean laziness, shopping, or getting a massage. The point is that we must do things that spark excitement and relaxation. Letting our minds rest is pivotal, because there is nothing better for the soul than healing, decompressing, and unwinding under the Supermoon.
The day before the Full Moon lights up the sky, Mars enters Sagittarius, and Venus swims into Scorpio the day after. The cosmic changes happen before Mercury retrogrades in Sagittarius and Scorpio, beginning November 9. Try to focus on yourself. Don’t take the bait if people want to discuss past situations that cause your heart to hurt repeatedly. The most important person is you, which means centering your energy to deal with your emotions. If someone you know is suffering, offer a compassionate hand. A little TLC can go a long way.

The Libra Full Moon occurs on March 28th and aims to bring balance back into our lives, although it may be hard. The scales will be tested, as Venus and the centaur Chiron, who are in Aries, will oppose the Libra Moon. Healing can take place, due to Chiron’s presence. But, only if we are ready and accepting of the work that we have to do.
The past few days have brought us many obstacles relating to love, money, and confidence. March 26th’s Venus Star Point in Aries (the 10-12 month cosmic meetup of the Sun and Venus), along with Mars’ connection with the North Node of Destiny in Gemini is allowing us to go after what we want in relationships. The caveat is that we’re seeing things through tunnel vision and our own perspectives. We haven’t been looking at matters through the lens of partnerships. Now, we can assess and repair situations with others by mending our past wounds. More importantly, the relationship we have with ourselves.
The Full Moon aims to center relationships and give everyone a new footing to stand on. Saturn comes in and adds a dash of practicality, stability, and commitment. If we work hard in matters of the heart, then we will be rewarded for our efforts. The lesson here is that love hurts. It can also heal and build stronger foundations for all parties involved.
The Sabian Symbol for this luminary is “Three ‘Old Masters’ Hanging On The Wall Of A Special Room In An Art Gallery.” This can be interpreted as the stages of a relationship (the meeting, the honeymoon phase, and the commitment). We can craft the relationship that we want (even with and for ourselves) if we are ready to let go of old hang ups and move forward.
The fixed star Vindemiatrix is in orb for this Full Moon. It will give us the motivation to create the life and partnerships that we want, if we trust the process and the universe in allowing us to evolve our hearts.
*The Libra Full Moon occurs on March 28th at 11:49AM PDT and 2:49PM EDT.
Full Moon Ritual:
A lot of healing around love and self-love is necessary during this Full Moon. A bath with Epsom salt, white rose petals, rose quartz, and Florida water will allow us to detox, cleanse, and repair our hearts and confidence. Follow the bath up with a light pink candle to remedy matters. Also, do something nice for yourself. Treat yourself to a sweet dessert, dinner, or rest to fully embrace the Venusian (the planetary ruler of the Libra Moon is Venus) vibes throughout the day.
Goodwitch/Badwitch is a group exhibition that explores the intersection of contemporary art, ritual and witchcraft/Brujeria. Through the work of over 40 artists and witches, the exhibit aims to help drive a more modern understanding of what witchcraft, magic and technology is.
As an Afro-Latina, my mission on this project is to utilize this space with as much artwork created by Black and POC creators and visionaries as I feel the world needs to see our magic now more than ever. We are open to all submissions however, I am calling Black & POC witches and healers to the front. If you are an artist that works in mediums (but not limited to) photography, painting, poetry please submit your work.
My vision is to create a modern grimoire of hand written spells to be featured in the gallery you may submit them to info@museumofmuseums.com we would prefer them by mail send to: Hoodwitch, C/O Museum of Museums, PO Box 20026, Seattle WA 98102. Submissions for artwork consideration MUST be submitted by August 21, 2020 include you name, Instagram handle, website/portfolio links !!
