Are you sitting down? Good. You need to be. November's full moon on November 19 highlights a partial lunar eclipse in Taurus - and frankly? It's going to be a little over the top! In astrology, Full Moons are periods of culmination. Unresolved issues that have been lurking in the background will be brought to the forefront of your consciousness for resolution and closure.
Lunar eclipses intensify the standard strength of your typical Full Moon, adding to its sense of urgency and emotional charge. Things that have been swept under the rug in your relationships and life circumstances will be brought to a head for a conclusion.

You're likely to feel that your patience and tolerance have been spent during this time. Your emotions feel like they're bursting at the seams and this will be a period where you finally decide how to move forward from people and situations that have left you feeling bothered and unsettled. This will be particularly true if you are a Taurus, a Cancer, or if you have strong Taurus or Cancer placements in your natal chart.
If you were born between November 14 and November 24 or between May 14 and May 24, you're going to feel this energy particularly intensely!
Taking place in the sign of Taurus, we can collectively anticipate that this Full Moon phase will bring a period of culmination as it pertains to matters dealing with major societal structures - especially the economy, and our collective sense of security.

This month's full moon squares Jupiter, strongly suggesting the potential for overindulgence, extravagance, and reckless behavior. If you find yourself being a little charge-happy with your credit card or letting your guard down as it relates to COVID-precautions, this is why! Take heed that you may be feeling a little too optimistic right now and slow down.
On a positive note, this month's Full Moon in Taurus makes a harmonious aspect to Pluto providing us with the extra drive and support to make overdue changes and to positively transform ourselves and our lives from circumstances that have been holding us back. Any decisions that we make now are likely to go off smoother and without a hitch.
Another thing to note during eclipses, in general, is the strong potential for endings. Relationships can end and people may quite literally eclipse out of your life. Regardless of what happens during this period, you can rest assured that it is happening to move you closer to your intended purpose in life. Some people are meant to join you in your future journey, and some aren't.
Whatever doesn't remain in your life during this time wasn't meant to.

Eclipses also tend to bring major news, random (but significant) events, and sudden realizations. Any epiphany that you experience during this eclipse, no matter how small or seemingly insignificant, marks a shift in your consciousness. Something - a person, situation, or even an outdated perspective - is ending in order to make room for a new beginning.
An important note: This full moon features a partial lunar eclipse. Take it that you are in the dark about something and may not have the full picture of a person or situation.
