Musings on the Taurus Full Moon

Happy full moon in Taurus everyone!

Because of my incessant moving around lately (soon to be over!), I didn't get a chance to write for the last new moon in Libra. I am a Libra moon (born under the new moon at that) so almost beyond my control I had to devote the day to all things Libra for myself. It was amazing haha!

But Venus, who rules both Libra and Taurus, was feeling a little slighted. Since she rules both the new and full moon this cycle, this moon musing is a love letter from Venus - goddess of love, beauty and desire. Mmmmm! Who wouldn't want a love letter from her? Enjoy! Xx Faye

Beautiful,

Get ready. I want to swoon you. I want to bring you into my world, Venus' realm, that of which men and women alike have dreamt of, peered into from afar, forgetting they are always welcome.

As I write this to you under the flickering shadows of candlelight, scents of lavender, rose and sage dancing through the air, I sit in my golden throne encased with the finest jewels, silk draping effortlessly over my soft skin, caressing my body like the subtle touch of a lover.

Do you want to come join me yet? ;)

I've been watching you recently, marvelling at your beauty, your grace, watching your eyes light up, your heart come alive as you wear that outfit, that lipstick, those shoes that make you feel like, remember, the god/goddess you are.

I've seen that sly smile you give yourself sometimes when you know I'm present. When you feel you could make men and women fall to their knees in devotion to the beauty you grace the world with.

And I absolutely love it.

I wish we could galavant through the streets, through the fields together. Marvelling at the beauty of our surroundings. How life changing it can feel to catch the autumn sun glistening off the reds and yellows of the leaves. The sheer magnitude, magic, of seeing the grace of birds prepare for their voyage to worlds unknown to us.

Remember when you last took the time to ever so slowly inhale the wafting fragrance of the flower in bloom? (And if you can't remember, we might need to have a chat about your priorities!)

Remember how in that moment of inhaling that scent so fully, nothing else existed? That in that moment your entire world was the scent of that flower? How freeing that was? That's what happens when we slow down.

Oh, what a world it could be if that was seen as important as responding to those overdue emails.

Right now what my deepest desire is for you, dearest one, is for you to slowly, lavishly honour how gorgeous you are.

In your laughter. In your tears.

How the way your hair falls over your face is the most beautiful thing I've ever seen. How breathtaking it is to see your eyes twinkle as bright as the stars above when seeing a loved one.

How, please for my sake, you're too wise to buy into socially constructed ideas of what beauty is. It makes my heart ache in pain that people have confused me with that.

Beauty to me is what is beautiful to you. No one else gets a say in it except for you and I.

I want you to lavishly adorn yourself in your favourite items. I want you to caress your body with warm oil with hints of rose and lavender, taking time to love each and every inch of your body in its absolute perfection.

Slowly, child. Ever so slowly. Because in that slowness, in that space, pleasure abounds. Deep, infinite pleasure that is only yours.

I want you to savour that wine, that chocolate, that kiss with the slowness and deep attention this world often forgets is available. I want you to remember that finding beauty in your life isn't a luxury, it's a necessity. True me, don't make me feel forgotten! I have been known to lash out when ignored.

So, gorgeous one, under this full moon, this peak of light that is so beautiful it can leave you breathless, revel in what connects us -

Revel in the infinite beauty that surrounds you when you only take the time to see it; revel in the divine, otherworldly realms of pleasure and the unique-to-you ways to bring it into your life, your heart, your soul.

And to remember a word often overlooked (and often misunderstood) - Desire.

To tap into your desires, whatever they may be. For connection, for solitude. For lust, for intimacy. For the finest silks, for the first edition book.

Desire fills me, and you, with a fire so bright you can't help but radiate your beautiful glow.

But have no fear if you don't know what you desire in this moment. Our desires ebb and flow like the tides, wax and wane like the moon. If you're searching deep within for what will light you up, may I suggest...slowing down? You'll soon hear me, and those desires, bubble up from within.

Enjoy your beauty, your magnitude, the sensuous being that you are. I'm looking forward to hearing what you get up to this cycle ;)

With all the love worthy of the goddess of Love, until next time my sweet.
Xx Venus
