We’re in the middle of a wild ride and like I mentioned in my latest video, we need to learn how to ride this wave because the chaos and intensity are likely going to continue into the middle part of next year.
A popular author who specializes in energy, Sherri Dillard, refers to our President as an Energy Vampire. If you think about it, there is a deliberate effort to shock us so that we are in a constant state of outrage. And you can see some of our tech leaders leading with a similar strategy. Studying Magic is big in certain Tech circles because it teaches you techniques like misdirection: how to mesmerize people in such a way that you direct their attention away from what you are actually doing. Like when Peter Thiel gives speeches about the Anti-Christ, trying to manipulate people into fearing someone “out there”. When the culprit is much closer to home. People are correct to ask him: “Are you the Antichrist?”
You can only see what’s happening underneath the surface by maintaining your calm, by maintaining a sense of distance. It’s important that we find our center in this storm. This destructive chaos that we are seeing is meant to traumatize us. It’s meant to put us in a confused state, where we don’t know which way is up, so we can’t strategically or even rationally respond to what’s happening. The events and the media are co-opting our brain, putting it in constant fear and stress response which can in turn become an addictive cycle.
It’s unhealthy. And the Taurus Full Moon is reminding us that we need to think about our physical health. Chronic stress suppresses our immune system. So if you are sensitive like I am, it’s important to prioritize daily meditation and grounding exercises during this time. Take a media break. Especially as our personal lives get more hectic into the holidays.
You may feel the intensity of this time more personally if you have planets at late degrees or early degrees of any sign. Especially the Mars-Mercury conjunction this month. Mars and Mercury first conjunct in late Scorpio before entering Sagitarrius where Mercury will station retrograde at 6 degrees Sagittarius before moving back into Scorpio.
I was also ruminating about how this Full Moon is ruled by Venus. Venus is exalted in Libra on the New Moon degree. If you remember, this degree is about the Magna Carta or “No Kings”. Venus is Yin energy and Yin energy can be more powerful than Yang energy.
I have Venus conjunct Jupiter in Pisces in my natal chart and all of my life I’ve been surrounded by badass women. Each woman is unique, but they have all been successful, powerful women. Women I aspire to be. We are such a force. If we embrace this force, we can do just about anything. I truly believe it is the women who are going to save us from this chaos. We know better than anyone how to transmute this energy into raw power. How can we band together to focus this energy productively? First we need to make sure we are maintaining our physical health. What needs your attention? What is your body calling you to do?
Events & Planetary Movements
We have a few important events and planetary movements leading up to this full moon.
October 28-29: Fed meets again about cutting interest rates.
October 30: Our President is meeting Xi Jinping on the sidelines of APEC and while news has come out that a positive framework has been put into place for the meeting, the President’s chart suggests unpredictability and aggressiveness. Uranus squares his Ascendent-Descendent and Mars in Scorpio is on his IC squaring his natal Mars on his Ascendent. It is unlikely Xi will be phased by this behavior. He seems to be holding the cards with transiting Venus exactly conjunct his Saturn in Libra applying to an opposition with Chiron. Chiron has been a repeating theme in the tariff negotiations.
November 2: Whatever happens at this meeting will set us up for the November 2nd deadline, which is supposed to lift the pause on the majority of China’s tariffs.
November 3: Since the Nodes move into 63-64 the very next day, this could be the event that sparks a movement into “doubt and confusion”. As has happened repeatedly, the tariff negotiations could result in market chaos. We are seeing multiple crises starting to develop so this is only one of many things that could boil over during this time. It’s also important to note that the Nodes rush through these gates in a month’s time so the movement into “doubt and confusion” is not long lasting.
November 4: The day before the Full Moon, Mars (which is conjunct Mercury in the 10th house) opposes a retrograde Uranus in the 4th house. This opposition is also part of a kite and a mystic rectangle. I would expect some kind of shocking and fated event to happen on the day leading up to the full moon, something very visible that shakes our country’s foundations and which has the potential to transform us as a Nation.
The Full Moon Chart
By the Full Moon, it looks like we are aggressively on the offensive with Mars and Mercury in Sagittarius conjunct the Ascendent still in opposition to Uranus, now on the Descendent. Our aggressive, bullying approach can be met with sudden and radical shifts in our partnerships or technological or communication counter-strikes from our opponents. Expect continuing volatile diplomacy during this time.
The Full Moon is at 13 Taurus in the 6th house. The 13th degree is a Venus degree and the 14th degree is a Mars degree. As I mentioned earlier, Venus is exalted in Libra on the New Moon degree, the “Magna Carta” degree. It is in the 11th house of the legislature separating from a square to Jupiter in the 8th house and applying to Pluto in the 2nd. And what this symbolizes to me is the tension of the legislature’s power of the purse and how it’s supposed to be responsible for enacting laws around tariff policy and trade deals.
The legislature’s role in the tariff policy has been completely co-opted by the executive branch’s whims. Even though the legislature has been mainly following along with what the President wants, tariff policy is different. It’s hurting their constituents, it’s harming their businesses. Farmers and small businesses are complaining.
So now we are starting to see more real world results because of the tariffs that keep increasing or decreasing depending on the President whims. Mercury and Mars are both ruled by this Jupiter which is separating but still in a trine relationship with the North Node, closely conjunct the IC. The volatile political, military, and diplomatic events will be immediately felt in the daily life, economy and physical health of our nation.
So hang tight as world events are likely to get more intense this month. Even my dreams have become more lively. If you watched my last video, you’ll know that I had a dream about a catastrophic water event that we are now seeing play out in the Caribbean. I don’t remember my dreams that often but since my awakening, they have seemed to me to be more prophetic. They feel like visitations. I don’t know what part of the timeline I’m peering into, though. One of my earliest dreams was about my late father visiting me as a child. It spooked me enough to have a session with a Medium, something I had never done before.
So when I have a dream, I pay attention. And this dream was so powerful I woke up in a sweat. When I shared the dream on Facebook, someone reminded me that my thoughts and words are powerful. What was I hoping to communicate by sharing the dream? Was my goal to stoke fear? Absolutely not. So I redirected this energy into a mantra about riding the wave. I am not a Prophet and I do not control outer events, but I can control how I focus my mind. We all can. This dream was meant to shake me awake, like the outer events around me.
Where are you paying attention? Who are you paying attention to? Are you paying attention to your health? Are you taking care of your body? Who are the badass women in your life and how can you band together to focus this intensity on something that is productive rather than destructive? It’s time to nurture our spirit so we can redirect our attention toward something more life sustaining. While our leaders focus on destroying, let’s focus on creating.
