Let’s celebrate making it to Taurus season! The sun moved into Taurus on April 19th! The energetic push won’t be quite so aggressive and we can actually start to savor our iced beverages as we start to consistently feel the Sun’s rays! But don’t relax too fast we have a full moon is Scorpio.
On April 23rd, we welcome a Full Moon in Scorpio, an opportunity for profound inner transformation and balance. This celestial event highlights the polarities of the Taurus Sun and Scorpio Moon, offering a deep dive into the themes of stability, sensuality, and emotional intensity. In this blog, we’ll explore the astrological "maths," the energy of this lunar phase, and provide journal prompts for reflection and growth.
Whether you're here for astrological insight, journaling inspiration, or both, this guide is your invitation to connect with the cosmos and yourself.
The Maths: How Lunar Cycles Work
Every Full Moon occurs in the zodiac sign opposite the Sun’s current position. This dynamic, known as an opposition, creates a powerful energetic tension that invites reflection and release.
For example:
A Capricorn Sun brings a Full Moon in Cancer.
An Aries Sun brings a Full Moon in Libra.
In Taurus season, as we now experience, the Full Moon lights up Scorpio, Taurus’s celestial counterpart.
This opposition marks the culmination of the lunar cycle, a time when emotions, themes, and energies reach their peak. If tracking lunar cycles feels overwhelming, no worries—astrology is my forte, and I’m here to simplify the celestial appointment book for you.

The Energy of Taurus and Scorpio
The Taurus Sun sets a stage of comfort, stability, and sensual pleasure. Ruled by Venus, Taurus encourages us to:
Savor the simple joys of life, like outdoor dining or time spent in nature.
Rest and recharge, perhaps with a cozy night in fuzzy slippers.
Focus on the beauty around us, from organizing our space to indulging in creative pursuits.
However, the Scorpio Full Moon brings a sharp contrast. Scorpio, ruled by Mars and Pluto, dives deep into the hidden layers of our psyche. This lunar phase asks us to:
Confront buried emotions, fears, and desires.
Release what no longer serves us, especially in areas of power, intimacy, and transformation.
Embrace the cycles of death and rebirth, allowing space for renewal.
Together, Taurus and Scorpio create a potent polarity. While Taurus stabilizes, Scorpio transforms. This duality reminds us of the beauty and complexity of being human—we are always balancing grounding and growth, stability and change.
