This Full Moon benefits those born under Taurus, Cancer, Virgo, Scorpio, Capricorn, and Pisces, while others may face some difficulties. The energy is Grounded and stable.
The Moon in Taurus indicates a strong desire for emotional security through your belongings and physical surroundings. What you genuinely seek is stability and a sense of permanence. Material possessions and a secure environment provide this stability, leading to emotional safety. Many behaviors and personality traits linked to this placement, especially the tendency to hold onto things, stem from this need for material comfort. As a result, you likely feel at ease with the idea of working diligently for your rewards. The emotional significance you place on the results of your efforts translates into satisfaction with a “job well done.” You may perceive the Moon's aspects as avenues that help you acquire material comfort and possessions. Taurus, being a Fixed Earth sign, symbolizes a steadfast nature that channels the Moon's emotional energy. Typically, this is advantageous, as indicated by the natural connection between Taurus and Moon-ruled Cancer. However, the rigidity of Taurus can sometimes inhibit the free flow of the Moon's energies. Generally, Taurus's nurturing, feminine essence harmonizes well with the Moon's caring qualities, softening Taurus's inflexibility regarding the Moon's functions.
Taurus Personality
Taurus rules the throat and neck, and its symbol is the bull. Generally, those born under this sign possess a robust physique characterized by a solid frame, broad shoulders, and a strong forehead.
Mantra for Taurus: "I have." This zodiac sign governs the 2nd House, encompassing personal self-worth, finances, material security, and possessions.
Taureans are often physically attractive under the influence of Venus, the planet of beauty, love, and pleasure. However, when Venus's energy is immature, it can manifest as jealousy and possessiveness, feeling threatened by anything that may replace what they hold dear.
Taureans are known for being loving, affectionate, nurturing, charming, kind, gracious, pleasure-seeking, cautious, and conservative. They possess a practical, down-to-earth nature and are dedicated, loyal, tenacious, and dependable.
Typically, Taureans take their time making decisions and even longer changing their minds. They stand firm in adversity and can handle challenges with resilience. Taureans are dynamic, skilled with their hands, appreciate routine, and are consistent in their efforts.
Though they can be hoarders and resistant to parting with possessions, Taureans are also materialistic, enjoying luxuries and creature comforts. They relish pampering and good food, valuing simplicity and a connection to nature. While they may be slow to start, they can always be counted on to complete tasks.
However, Taurus's stubbornness can lead to possessiveness, jealousy, laziness, and inflexibility. They may become entrenched in their opinions, harbor grudges, and react suddenly when resentment arises. As a conservative sign that resists change, Taurus places great importance on material comforts, with possessions being a significant aspect of their identity, influenced by their ruling planet, Venus.

The questions you may ask yourself:

Have I engaged in too much comfort eating?
Have I been active enough?
1st House Full Moon
The First House, associated with self-identity, squares the Fourth House ruled by the Moon, its natural placement. As a result, there are inherent challenges with a Moon in the First House placement. While these challenges may lead to a stronger sense of self, they also suggest the presence of positive elements that contribute to your personal development and character.
The primary issues associated with the Moon in the First House relate to its connection with behavioral conditioning, family influences (especially from the mother), and a paradigm defined by reflection, reaction, and dependency. These factors can hinder the growth of a fully individualized self, prompting you to work towards disentangling yourself from these influences to assert your identity.
On a positive note, the Moon highlights qualities such as sensitivity, care, openness, and emotional awareness, all of which become integral to your sense of self. Particularly for males, this may help balance Yin and Yang energies within your consciousness. Additionally, having the Moon in the First House might make you more receptive to psychic, subconscious, or extra-conscious experiences.
Forgive Yourself and Cultivate GratitudeYou can start by creating a gratitude list and then set it ablaze.
Personal transformations will be a significant theme in the month ahead. Consider enhancing your appearance with a new hairstyle, cosmetic surgery, mole removal, shopping for new outfits, or changing personal habits. Seize this opportunity, as your popularity may reach new heights. This is a perfect time to start new projects or explore fresh ventures. An eclipse in the first house could change personal matters and goals now and throughout the upcoming year. Some may enter into marriage or find new partners, while others might pursue changes in their home or career. The effects will be particularly significant if the eclipse aligns with a planet in the first house. For example, if the eclipse connects with the Earth (whether natal or transiting) that rules the sixth house of health and work, expect substantial changes in that area of life.
Given that these changes may pertain to health, addressing any issues without delay is crucial. Exercise caution when driving and in situations that could lead to accidents.
Affirmations:

“I am turning the corner!”

In Taurus, your sense of self-worth often stems from material possessions and the pursuit of material gains. This Full Moon emphasizes the importance of recognizing your true self-worth, which should not rely on materialistic values but instead be rooted in spiritual principles such as love for home, family, country, and the broader world. You might find yourself on a journey of self-acceptance, embracing who you are rather than what you possess. This presents a powerful opportunity for cleansing and letting go of false values.

Healing Gemstones & Crystals
Emerald - This gemstone is exceptionally fortunate for Taurus, possessing a profoundly transformative energy. Utilize it to enhance and amplify the blessings brought by Venus.
Emerald comes from the Greek term "smargos," meaning "green stone." The oldest known emerald mine is in Egypt, dating back to 3000 BCE. Traditionally, emeralds were tied to the left arm for the protection of travelers or gifted to individuals to help exorcise their demons. Believed to guard against enchantment and the tricks of magicians, emeralds were thought to predict the future. Referred to as the “Stone of Successful Love,” emerald fosters domestic happiness and loyalty, strengthens unity, unconditional love, and partnership, and encourages friendship. If the stone changes color, it is believed to indicate unfaithfulness. A life-affirming gem with profound integrity, emerald enhances mental balance and metaphysical abilities.
Caution: It's advised not to wear it continuously, which may lead to overstimulation.
