Taurus Full Moon Arrives December 15th, 2024
December’s Full Moon highlights the zodiac sign of Taurus!
Taurus is a fixed Earthy sign ruled by bright, shiny Venus, a Kapha planet. Their symbol is the Bull, a sign of strength, fertility, and wealth. Their main focus is maintaining stability and possessions.
Taurus is stable, strong, steadfast, kind-hearted, and sometimes envious or stubborn. They love to indulge their senses and sometimes over-indulge.
Embrace Full Moon Vibes in Taurus
Taurus is a sign of strength and stability. Harness this energy to fuel your body, mind, and soul and learn how to stand tough in your soul’s journey. With this Full Moon, you might feel a boost of strong, Earthy energy that helps you find your True North.
Create a sacred space that aligns with the Taurus Full Moon’s earthy energy. Use candles, crystals (such as rose quartz or green aventurine), and natural elements like fresh flowers or plants. Burn sage incense to create an aromatic experience.
Ayurveda Astrology Inspire Your Personal Yoga Flow
Drawing a blank when you get to your yoga mat? Do not fear! Ayurveda (Vedic) astrology is here with lots of inspiration to fuel your yoga flows!
Ayurveda teaches us to honor nature and lunar phases that highlight different planets and their zodiac sign. This is especially useful for women to attune the natural rhythms of their monthly cycle. This is a super fun way to keep your yoga flow fresh (pun intended!).
1. Full Moon Yoga Flow for Taurus: Strength & Stability
In a Taurus-inspired Full Moon yoga flow, the invitation is to develop your strength and stability and open your heart.
Poses to Cultivate Taurus Energy
Child’s Pose (Balasana): Connect with the earth and feel supported.
Mountain Pose (Tadasana): Stand tall to embody stability and strength.
Tree Pose (Vrikshasana): Cultivate balance and rootedness.
Bridge Pose (Setu Bandhasana): Open the heart and embrace Taurus’ sensual energy.
Reclined Bound Angle Pose (Supta Baddha Konasana): Relax and release tension.

2. Taurus Self-Care for Body-Mind Balance
Did you know Taurus rules the throat, thyroid, and inner ear? This means that those born under this sign (or anyone feeling the Venus influence) might be prone to issues in these areas.
To keep your body-mind system healthy and balanced, focus on:
- Supporting a healthy throat and voice with licorice or marshmallow tea
- Do yoga poses that gently stimulate the thyroid gland
- Care for your ears and treat them to low noise levels as often as possible

Taurus encourages appreciation for life’s simple joys. List at least five things you are grateful for, focusing on tangible and sensory experiences—a cozy blanket, a delicious meal, or the beauty of nature. Gratitude raises your vibration and aligns you with the abundant energy of the Full Moon.
7. Connect with Nature
If weather permits, spend time outdoors under the Full Moon. Walk on grass or soil to ground yourself, or simply sit and observe the night sky. Let the moonlight fill you with peace and serenity.
