The Taurus Full Moon in Her Radiance

 Sage Moon of Opening in Taurus — A Time to Root, Release & Rise

As the moon reaches her fullness tonight, she rises in the earthy sign of Taurus, casting her gentle silver light across the southern skies. This moon — the Sage Moon of Opening — invites us to slow down, breathe deeply, and come home to the sacred steadiness within.

Here in the Southern Hemisphere, this full moon feels like a deep exhale after a long season of growth. It’s a time to gather what we’ve nurtured, to celebrate our quiet wisdom, and to gently release the weight of what no longer belongs.

🌿 The Energy of the Taurus Full Moon

Taurus is ruled by Venus, the planet of love, beauty, and self-worth — and under this grounded earth sign, we are reminded to honour the simple, sensual joys of being alive.

This moon brings:

• Grounding energy — a chance to root into what’s real and nourishing.

• A call to value yourself — to know your worth and stand gently but firmly in it.

• Steady transformation — Taurus doesn’t rush; she grows through devotion, patience, and care.

• Embodied magic — the reminder that your body is a temple of the sacred, and the earth your constant ally.

  
  

This moon whispers: You are safe to bloom at your own pace.

🔮 A Gentle Ritual for the Sage Moon of Opening

This ritual is for grounding, releasing, and remembering your worth — simple, earthy, and full of love.

You’ll need:

• A green or white candle

• A bowl of water

• A sprig of sage (or your favourite herb)

• Paper and pen

• Something from nature — a stone, leaf, or small bowl of soil

Ritual steps:

1. Create your space.

   Sit under the moonlight or near a window where her glow can reach you. Light your candle and take a few slow breaths. Feel your body relax into the moment.

2. Cleanse your energy.

   Waft the sage around you in gentle circles. Whisper softly:“I release what is heavy. I return to what is true.”

3. Reflect & write.

   On your paper, write what you are grateful for — the things you’ve grown, learned, and become.Then write what you are ready to let go of — any worries, doubts, or patterns that have dimmed your light.

4. Offer it to the elements.

   Fold the paper and place it into the bowl of water. Watch the reflection of the moon shimmer across its surface. As the paper softens, say:“I soften too. I let go with love. I trust the flow of my path.”

5. Ground & give thanks.Hold your stone or soil in your hands and feel its steady heartbeat. Thank the earth for holding you. Thank the moon for lighting your way.When you’re ready, pour the water back into the garden or onto the earth — returning your intentions to the flow of life.

   
   

🌸 Closing Blessing

This Taurus Full Moon reminds us that magic doesn’t always come in flashes — sometimes it’s found in the quiet rhythm of daily care, in patience, and in love that grows slowly like roots beneath the soil.

Tonight, may you feel grounded in your body, clear in your heart, and open in your spirit.You are radiant, wise, and endlessly worthy.

With moonlight and sage,
