Full Moon In Taurus: Treat Yo Self

November 12, 2019
​
You are worthy of great pleasure. 

When I started tuning into the energy of this Full Moon in Taurus, all I could hear was Donna and Tom from Parks and Recreation saying “Treat Yo Self” in my ear. If you have not had the privilege of watching this series, here is a mash up clip of their Treat Yo Self days for your viewing pleasure (this video is from YouTube and I have no claims to the original content):

 
No, this moon isn’t necessarily about spending scads of money on yourself, although Venus, ruler of Taurus, does love a good adornment. It is about landing in your body and sinking into the experience of pleasure. Many of us have been spending time in our heads lately. Scorpio has felt really intense, it’s been about letting go and moving on. These two experience are not always comfortable for us on a body level and tend to kick up a lot of resistance on a mental level. The desire to catch up on extra sleep and check out with some escapism has been strong. However, today we are being invited back into our bodies, but purely for pleasure and joy.

What does this look like?

Well, it’s different for everyone! The key is sinking into YOUR pleasure. Do you want to take a bubble bath, have some outrageous sex, buy yourself a new beautiful pair of shoes? I invite you to check in today to what you are wanting to create this Full Moon and see if you can give yourself full permission to experience that.

Today isn’t about a one and done day of pleasure though. It’s about stepping into a life of pleasure. How can your life reflect more joy, pleasure, passion, and creativity today and in the days that follow? We are on the tail end of 2019, in 2020 we will be stepping into the year of the Emperor. In an Emperor year we are invited to stand tall in our power, to shine our gifts on the world, and unapologetically live our truth. Sounds pretty great right? 

The grounded energy of Taurus also provides a solid foundation for action. Have you had an idea churning around in your head for the last few months? Take some action on it today. Maybe buy the URL to your dream website, sign up for that course, ask someone out on a date, whatever your dream is, take action.  

Here are some ideas and prompts that might help you get the most out of your Full Moon today:

•  Pull a Tarot or Oracle Spread. Here are some great questions you can ask your cards. 
  • Card 1: What am I being invited to pay attention to?
  • Card 2: How can I invite more pleasure into my life?
  • Card 3: Who is my teacher right now?
• Journal to gain clarity on what you want to create in your life.
  • One year out exercise: Imagine you are writing a journal entry one year from today, what has changed, what does your life look and feel like?
  • Joy listing. Make two columns. On one side write all the things you love to do. Things that bring your joy, pleasure, and happiness. On the other side, write the ways you spend your time that distract or take time away from the other list. Once you are done, circle 3 things on the joy side you want to incorporate more of into your life and cross off 3 things on the other side that you are willing to let go of/delegate/or throw out. Then do some free writing about this exercise. 
• Call up your closest friends and make plans to get together tonight and do something fun! 

I hope you have a wonderful Full Moon today and really sink into the beauty and pleasure of this life you are living! Also, I have recently lowered my prices on individual readings and coaching in a totally soul centered move (read When Spirit Calls for all the details), so if you've been wanting to work with me one on one, Treat Yo Self!
