Birth Prep With This Taurus Full Moon!

There is a lottt going on astrologically with this Full Moon, making it a really powerful one to work with. Before I explain it all and the themes coming up, if you want to know more about working with the moon and how to find out your own moon sign, then get my free guides by clicking here!

So we today we have a full moon in Taurus. This is a biggie, so take some time to read through it and please make some time for yourself today - whether that's just to look at the moon and celebrate you, or you go all in with a journal, cards, and crystals. Just make some time for yourself!

Taurus is a fixed earth sign - it doesn't like change. But it's right next to Uranus in Taurus atm, and Uranus is all about change and the unexpected. So it is time to step out of your comfort zone and embrace change. This is such a beautiful reminder for pregnancy and motherhood - you are constantly changing, as are your babes. Embrace it! Surrender to it! Let go of control.

As full moons are all about celebrating, first I'd encourage you to celebrate all the positive changes pregnancy, birth, and motherhood have brought about for you. How you have positively changed. Are you more patient? More connected to your intuition? Better at standing up for yourself? Better at letting go of control and surrendering to the universe? Whatever it is, celebrate yourself!

Taurus is ruled by Venus (which is currently in Capricorn, but more on that in a mo). And so it's also a great time to create some time and space for a bit of self love, some relaxation. Have a bath, do a meditation, read, skin care, shave your legs, walk in nature - do something to show yourself some love today. And again, celebrate that and all the other ways you show yourself love! It can be as simple as always drinking water and staying hydrated - that's an act of love for yourself. Or it can be prioritising rest and going to bed early. 

We also have Saturn going direct today - which is really important to note. It's still in Pisces, the dreamy, spiritual sign. And Saturn represents boundaries, amongst other things. So take a look at your boundaries, particularly when it comes to your pregnancy, birth, and postpartum (people loveeee crossing the boundaries at this time). How do yours feel? Are you communicating them effectively? Are they reflective of you and your needs? If you haven't really thought of this yet, have a think now. Because they are so so important and it's down to you to put them in place (which can be really awkward). 

When thinking about birth, what will you and won't you accept? What do you want? What don't you want? How can you make this clear? Think about your birth team - your birth partner, midwives, doula... what boundaries do you need with them? What boundaries do you want their help to enforce?

If you're getting towards the end of your pregnancy and thinking about postpartum, think about what rules you want to have in place. Pleaseeeeee do what is best for you! Connect with your intuition, ignore the wishes of others, and do what you feel is important to keep your and your baby safe and happy.

Right, so Venus is in Capricorn, which is riiiight alongside Pluto who is just finishing its 20 odd year journey through the sign and about to move into Aquarius. This is big! Pluto represents transformation, death and rebirth. So there's a big powerful energy that you can work with to transform. To really let go of the old you. The parts of you you don't want anymore. And to become the person you're meant to be. Also Aquarius is a sign that doesn't give a fuck - it does what it wants, it doesn't follow the crowd - and that is suuuuch an important reminder for pregnancy, birth, and motherhood. Don't make decisions based on what you think is the norm and what everyone else does. Make decisions that are right for you.

Pregnancy, birth, and motherhood brings with it multiple deaths and rebirths. The transformation is insaneeee but my god it is so so beautiful. So embrace it. If you're pregnant now, ooooh get ready! You're going to be a completely different person. The current you will be no more. And I don't mean that in a scary way! It's so exciting. You're going to be more you! And this is why I'm so passionate about using spirituality during this time - it will be your biggest support through your journey to motherhood. 

Don't worry if none of this makes sense - it doesn't have to! You don't need to understand astrology to work with it. 

If it's too much, just focus on the moon. Celebrate yourself and all the steps you've taken towards your dreams, towards being the best version of yourself; how you take care of yourself and show yourself love; the positive changes in you since pregnancy and that you have made to your life since pregnancy.

You're doing amazing.

Lots of love,
