It’s been a little over a week since the election and I’ve been experiencing something akin to the stages of grief. To lean into the earthy energy of the full moon in Taurus on November 15th feels very nourishing, and I find myself meditating on mycelium.
When most of us think of fungus, we imagine mushrooms sprouting out of the ground. Those mushrooms are in fact the “fruit” of the fungus, while the majority of the fungal organism lives in the soil interwoven with tree roots as a vast network of mycelium. Mycelium are incredibly tiny “threads” of the greater fungal organism that wrap around or bore into tree roots. Taken together, mycelium composes what’s called a “mycorrhizal network,” which connects individual plants together to transfer water, nitrogen, carbon and other minerals. German forester Peter Wohlleben dubbed this network the “woodwide web,” as it is through the mycelium that trees “communicate.” (source)
What a beautiful notion— delicate as lace yet powerfully strong connections, binding together seemingly solitary plants into a vast network, a reminder of interconnectedness.
I see the full moon in Taurus as a call asking us, how can we embody this magical reality? What networks may we lean on for support? What connections nourish us, and how can we in turn nourish our connections? We are all part of a greater whole, and I believe now is the time to look to mycelium for inspiration, to build and support networks of mutual aid, to see ourselves as part of a vast network.
What is this full moon bringing up for you? Be sure to check your sun, moon, and rising signs for a more comprehensive understanding of the current astrological climate, and for all signs, remember: hex the patriarchy.
