Hello Dear Readers, Friends, Social Media Strangers and Beings in my Network,
I hope this moment finds you well.
The above picture is taken of this month's budding full moon over a cemetery in my hometown of Joplin, Missouri. Because of platforms like Facebook, I enjoy getting ‘boots on the ground’ reports from friends and family still living in the area.
About a decade ago, I stopped following most mainstream media and news outlets, relying only on social media to receive updates. I was more interested in what was found within the comments, and what people were saying around those topics. That, after all, is what shapes a democracy.
I remain grateful for the folks I am still connected with across Meta, but my days on zuck owned platforms are numbered. FB and IG are easy enough to exit, but whatsapp is a lifeline for most Europeans.
As we move into the holiday season and keep in the spirit of progressive moves forward 👏 we need to remain focused on conservation. Whether that be in land, home, money, or relationships.
Speaking of money … now is the time NOT to be spending money. Remember, the war is between the billionaires and the rest of us, the best form of attack for this battle is to stop providing them with profits.
I suggest regifting, handmade gifts, secondhand shopping, and supporting your local community's vendors and small businesses in these coming weeks and during this particular holiday season.
Also, because it is a Taurus Full Moon, I suggest to gather for community meals, donate your unused goods, host in-home potluck meals, and contribute to any local food share programs. I use Olio and Too Good to Go here in The Netherlands.
Lastly, I recommend stocking up on your staples, paper linens, cleaning supplies, batteries, candles, emergency radios, iodine tablets for Western EU inhabitants, and having enough water stored for a minimum of three days. At least these are the things the Dutch government has been telling us for the last year.
🌝 Full Taurus Moon ♉️
This month’s Full Moon in Taurus asks us to slow down and take inventory of what truly nourishes us.
Under this Venus-ruled lunation, abundance isn’t a number in your bank account — it’s the feeling of enoughness that blooms when you remember how much beauty you already hold.
This is your cosmic reminder to take stock of your resources. Not just material, but emotional, spiritual, and relational.
What sustains you when the world feels unsteady?
What roots help you stay grounded when everything else feels uncertain?
Define abundance on your own terms and imagine how you’ll share your wealth — whether that’s money, time, love, or wisdom — when you have more than you need. Because, truly, this Full Moon asks one simple question:
✨ How can we make sure everyone has enough?
🌿 The Art of Grounding
The Taurus Moon brings us back to the body — to what we can see, touch, taste, and feel. Forget the spreadsheets for a minute. Let your intuition lead through scent, sound, and softness. This isn’t about thinking your way to clarity, but sensing your way there.
So plant your hands in the soil.
Make a meal from scratch.
Water your houseplants.
Curl up with your favorite four-legged companion.
Taurus reminds us that ritual lives in the mundane, and peace often hides in the simplest pleasures. This is a lunation for embodiment, not performance — for the kind of quiet magic that grows roots beneath the surface.
