Taurus Full
Moon Horoscopes
Abundance in Transformation.
The Full Moon in Taurus 2º falls on October 26th at 12:12 AM ET.
As we navigate the depths of Scorpio Season, we are given a Full Moon in Taurus to bring us back to Earth – the place between Heaven and Hell. This Full Moon is one that illuminates everything we have been through over the last few weeks and touches on what's to come. Changes have been made, directions have been altered, and perspectives have shifted.
There’s a strong flow of energy that sweeps in to give us the answers we seek at this lunation. The accumulation and potency of this Full Moon seems so powerful that its energy will feel buzzing. Luckily, the Moon in its exalted state will prepare us. The Sun in Scorpio shines its light on the Moon in Taurus, where we find the power in these polarities – ownership. We are called to reclaim our power and stand our ground. However, there are strong oscillations between the Taurus and Scorpio axis. A see-saw between celestial bodies tells us that growth happens but not in the extremes. We can’t keep being pulled in two different directions. We are called to return home — back to ourselves and the garden we have long neglected. It is time to till the soil again.
Pluto finds itself square to both the luminaries. There may be deeply transformative moments that create a bit of illumination or self-reflection around this lunation. Pluto promises to bring more intensity and depth to an already subterranean landscape. The outlet becomes Leo as an energy, where we are called to see the power in creativity and honesty. We balance intimacy with privacy as we try to circumvent feelings of control. Power plays can be likely with the Plutonic pressure. What we choose to do now may even shock/surprise us — it will have gravity. There is no question that change is in the air. This should inspire us to make moves toward what we desire and believe in. With that, at times, we may find that the best course of action is simply allowing the shedding of old skin. Mobilize toward a new future.
With Venus ruling this Full Moon, we can feel this desire to find strength in our values. With it now back in Libra, we are moving through narratives and conversations that we were having in early September. We are feeling a need to reconnect and re-establish bridges or relationships. There is an undercurrent of staying in balance and flow here, as Libra treads lightly. With the radical energy of Pluto, Venus provides a nice place to land.
As Mercury is now in its full retrograde motion, the “re” of it all only strengthens. Mercury is not letting feelings, ideas, or moments of the last few weeks go. Instead, we are editing and reforming them. As Mercury backtracks, we are told to re-engage with our senses at this Full Moon and get back to the Earth, especially if we have lost our footing. We are rising out of the shadows and into the clouds, but we must first touch the ground again. This is only the beginning of what’s to come.
If you have any personal planets in your chart at 27º to 29º or 0º to 7º, you will feel the effects of this Full Moon the most. Especially those with strong Fixed placements. So, let’s break this down by sign! Always read Sun, Moon, and Rising — But Read your RISING first!
ARIES TO CANCER
Aries & Aries Rising
Determination is a key word for you, Aries, but maybe not in the way you think. Sure, there is determination for you to overcome, but actually this is more about determining what is good for you and what isn’t. You are needing to think more critically and clearly about your relationship with what you have access to and how you share that with yourself and others. The Venus retrograde now back in Libra will want you to weigh your pros and cons, but don’t get caught in indecisive undulations. Find footing and stability.
This Full Moon is in your 2nd House, so your focus can be turned toward resources. Are you valued for your work? What is your compensation like, even outside of income? Some of you may be looking for a raise, promotion, or change to your financial picture. Others of you may think about how to use the resources you have differently (tangible or otherwise). Use this Full Moon to push that forward for you. The Sun is in Scorpio, so it makes you dig deeper to find the right solution to whatever problem may arise! Remain grounded in your approach, but charge ahead knowing that you can grow an abundant garden from all that you decide to plant. There is a major theme around personal value that creeps up. You need to see yourself differently — own every facet of your talents and your experience. You are valuable. You are worthy. Not because someone says you are or because of what you have, but just simply because you exist.
Pluto is tightly square this Full Moon, where it is having you look more closely at some of the other power plays it has made lately. Think back to around both October 20th and September 15th. What was happening for you then? What feelings were arising? This Full Moon may bring a turning point for you around that storyline, as those dates had Venus square Pluto. With the luminaries following in the same pattern. Thematically, this looks like a deeper, more transformative experience — especially as it relates to your friends, community, or idea of the future. If you are feeling at odds with how resourced you are to progress, think differently about how you can generate more time, energy, or space to make the resources more available. This may include asking for help.
Use this lunation to reflect on your values, morals, and beliefs. Also, take stock of what you own and what resources you can obtain. See what could use changing, reimagining, or refocusing. You will be making major changes to how you handle personal and shared resources in the near future. Your efforts are not in vain.
Taurus & Taurus Rising
As the light of the Moon shines on your sign, you are stepping into a new kind of power and shine. What was once a quiet move or inner reflection now is more wholly exposed. You are not so able to keep things under wraps. People are recognizing your true intentions and feelings, but this can be a good thing. Try to own how you feel, even if it brings a little conflict.
This lunation falls in your 1st House, bringing you back to your place in this world. Who are you? What do you want? You have been dealing with a lot of change over the years, so you may have been shedding old skin in order to release what isn’t working for you. This Full Moon will give you a chance to find what WILL work for you. You get to decide how you live your life and make strides in building a new you. Now is the time to be unapologetically yourself. Celebrate your individuality. Take pride in where you are right now. It is time to call back your power!
As Pluto squares the Full Moon, you may feel pressure to perform or be on your A-game. Because of the intense visibility you feel, there is a desire to withdraw. The tension between showing up and reverting to comforts will keep you in a chokehold. The idea is to grow beyond your limitations. Think back to around September 15th and October 20th, as this energy connects back to those days. You may find that you are getting more information or more push. Now is a time to transmute the past into a new future. Power plays with someone close to you may also be likely. Try not to feed into the hunger for control.
Use this Full Moon to work on yourself and focus on your needs. See what needs to be adjusted or refined. Where could you benefit from being more gentle with yourself? Where could you be more disciplined? How can you see yourself more clearly? You can make great strides in standing out and allowing yourself to be seen and heard. You are on a path toward really making shifts in your identity and overall life.
Gemini & Gemini Rising
If you are tired, just say it. You have been full, active, and busy. Although this may still be true, we can find space to pause. Your ruler, Mercury, is now retrograde, and you may require more time and motivation to get things done — or just more periods of respite. Try not to overwhelm your schedule around this time and lean into the soft openings of solitude. Restoration is sacred, divine.
This Full Moon is perfectly positioned in your 12th House, so right now is a time to find a balance in work, pleasure, play, and rest. Work quietly behind the scenes and slow down. You are turning inward and focused on preserving your energy. You know you will be expending a lot of it soon. The 12th House can bring insights that we were not privy to before. So, you may discover information that was hidden from view. Now is a time to listen to your intuition and focus on how to best navigate quietly. If you need a respite, take it! Additionally, this area of your chart is about following your intuition and trusting the unseen. Listen to your inner magic. Some doors may close for you, but new ones will soon open.
With Pluto squaring with the Sun and Moon, your desires for growth and exploration can get in the way of your needs right now. Sometimes, we have to be realistic about timing. If you feel excited about something but lack the energy, put it on pause and try again another time. Your body is holding onto more exhaustion and overworking than you realize. If you are not careful, it will show you just how overrun you truly are. Greet your life with a bit more compassion. If you need some friend time to fill your cup, you will find it especially restorative. Think back to September 15th and October 20th for some clues about what this Full Moon may be trying to illuminate or progress for you.
Use this Full Moon to focus on the places that you escape or choose to ignore. See what needs to come to a close and what needs to be expanded. Make peace in the quiet. Find power in resolution. Explore new areas of faith, belief, and spirituality — but also be ok with not knowing or having answers. You are on the precipice of closing a chapter and starting a whole new one. What is needed to fully walk through that door?
Cancer & cancer Rising
Your social calendar will be more packed and alive than you realize. You thought you spaced things out, but there is a big surge of commitments coming your way. This may not be a bad thing, as connections are seemingly generative for you right now. People are wanting to encourage you, see you, and spend time with you. It may be just what you need to feel more replenished.
With this lunation hanging out in your 11th House, you will be looking at your connections and friends as a way to help you move ahead. You may even just want to catch up with people, feeling a little more social than normal. The Moon will be subconsciously drawing you out more. You are realizing that community is becoming increasingly important to you, and you may be trying to find where you want to align yourself. Budding friendships become lasting ones, and old friends are showing up left and right. Bask in this! People are showing you love, and you deserve that. Support seems like magic. You are recognizing that you can’t do things alone. You need others. Co-create. Collaborate. Connect!
Pluto will square the Sun and Moon causing a little tension around this time. It may be that you are feeling particularly put on by someone or just a bit more vulnerable than normal. You don’t like being too exposed, but sometimes it can be nice to have recognition and support for what you create or express. It actually feels like the drama will be more internal for you, as you are trying to navigate feelings of sharing, needing, and desiring. Look back to September 15th and October 20th, as there are themes here that get expanded. Try not to sabotage your success or wins, instead find ways to celebrate all that you are doing.
Use this Full Moon to reflect on your goals and future visions. See where you are and ask for support where it matters. Don’t allow yourself to fall victim to pleasing people. Learn to find the community and friendships that are worthy. Invest in the relationships that challenge you to grow. Your hopes and dreams can become a reality when you genuinely ask for help. You are finding your strength again.
LEO TO SCORPIO
Leo & Leo Rising
There are demands to be met with, and you are feeling more under a microscope. They say that pressure exerts us into diamonds, but does beauty have to come from such extreme measures? You are really seeing what you want to be responsible for and how much you are willing to take on. The back and forth between expectation and reality feels more severe. You can settle into a new perspective and role overall by facing any fears of enoughness that you may have.
This Full Moon will bring you to new heights! It falls in your 10th House, so you have the chance to plant seeds in your career or make important moves in your life. You are becoming more aware of your direction and what you want! With the Sun in Scorpio, you are asked to recognize what is most important to you. You will have to dig a little deeper to discover what you truly want. Nothing you are doing is in vain. The right people are taking notice. If you do change jobs or careers, you may find that the work you want to do will be something completely different or distinct. Perhaps that is the change you want, too! Alternatively, some of you may make discoveries about your passions that drive you into a new field or up the ladder into a new role/position. Whatever it is, a career or work-related matter seems to be at the forefront of your mind.
The Full Moon will square Pluto, adding some metaphorical (and literal) fuel to the fire. You could see tensions rise with family, relationships, and work. The true trifecta. The overwhelm will leave you feeling overplayed and undersupported. Power dynamics and moments of control could arise between you and someone close to you. However, this tension could break and release into something more fruitful and abundant in the long-term. Look back to September 15th and October 20th for additional insights or a-ha moments that may be related to this energy.
As there is so much happening around this Full Moon, use this time to truly reflect on where you are. Are you happy at work? What needs changing? Are you doing what makes you happy? Take steps to get what you want out of your life. Redirect your path. Ask for the promotion. Find new employment. Witness the dynamics at work and then assess your next moves. It is time to lean in and go after what you want.
Virgo & Virgo Rising
Are you practicing what you are preaching? Because being of service and supporting others through your wisdom is great, but at point do you learn to also take your own advice? There is a need to be more experiential now, focusing on how you can walk the walk and talk the talk. Your philosophies on life need to be more than just ideals — they need to be reality. Now is a good time to see if your words and actions align.
With this Full Moon in your 9th House, you are actively growing and trying new things! You are taking the experiences you have had and applying them future-forward. Now is a time to be bold and optimistic about the journey that lies ahead. The Moon will make sure that you are grounded in your approach while remaining open to the beautiful changes that life can bring! Flexible structures. Here, you will see that your world is shifting. The 9th House is about limitless potential. You realize the world truly is your oyster in this realm, and you can make what you want out of it. You will likely see your goals more clearly than you have in a long time and thus change your priorities in achieving them. Nothing is too far out of reach. All it takes is a little faith.
As Pluto squares the Sun and Moon, you may be feeling pressures in how you show up in your body and the routines you keep. Perhaps these pressures are manufactured, but nevertheless, they feel intense. Your physical vessel is craving some additional care right now, and putting it off will only exacerbate the feeling. It is ok to ask for a pause or a moment of relief in your day to day, especially as your ruler retrogrades. Words are a bit harder to come by, and you may fumble on what you are trying to say — but the intention and core idea of your words are what you are actually trying to convey. Focus on the meaning and the feeling rather than the perfection of exaction (this extends beyond just conversations and into every part of your life). September 15th and October 20th are similar thematically to this time. There may be a storyline furthering now.
Use this Full Moon to assess the big picture. Where could you use more adventure in your life? You could feel a push and pull of acting immediately — give things some time to settle. You will see that you are on the brink of a new journey, one that allows you to take the lead. You can explore new perspectives, educate yourself and seek out more spontaneous experiences. Nothing is perfect, but you can enjoy every moment that is set out before you. No time is wasted when you truly are living.
Libra & Libra Rising
The incredible change you are undergoing is noticeable, even if it is still subterranean in some capacity. As Venus, your ruler, retrogrades back into your sign, you are feeling a sense of renewal and reconnection. You are aligning more with what you want, need, or desire. This also plays well with the theme of personal intimacy, as you extend those needs or desires out to someone close to you. Explorations of relational depth and care can expand beyond just your romantic life. The more you are willing to be vulnerable with others, the more you can experience true joy.
The Full Moon in your 8th House, opening doors for resources that have been untapped or previously hidden. This could be emotional or material. Some of you may find out about an unexpected gain, whether through you or a partner, perhaps an inheritance, or some sort of windfall — especially with Uranus being so prevalent. Alternatively, you may find that you are working toward paying off debts and feeling more secure — that you don’t owe anything to anyone. This could also apply to how you feel about emotional debts, almost washing your hands of old situations or people that no longer serve you. This Full Moon may also bring about a transformation. One that has been a long time coming. In some ways, it will feel like a re-emergence — a butterfly coming out of its cocoon after a long period of reflection, healing, and dealing with shadows that have sat beneath the surface. Becoming more intimate and preserving your inner peace will be of the utmost importance.
As Pluto squares this Full Moon, you may be feeling a little tension with the concept of happiness. You may find that what you think will make you happy isn’t exactly what will — or maybe you are placing your joy too much in the hands of other people. This is a time to call back that power and realign with your own passions. You may need more in your social hour as a way to divest from your scarcity, as community becomes a resource and point of replenishment. Think back to September 15th and October 20th as thematic moments that get expanded during this lunation.
Use this Full Moon to break bad habits. Shine a light on the shadows in your life and face your fears. Open up about things more intimately with people you trust and allow others to more deeply support you. Reframe your financial picture and focus on ways to alleviate a scarcity mindset. Even as the material resources may ebb and flow, there will be plenty of opportunity for a fresh start. Reclaim your power. This is only the beginning.
Scorpio & Scorpio Rising
Over the last many weeks, you have been re-evaluating who you are and how you want to show up. This is the first time through that process that you put it to the test. You are being asked to step out of yourself and engage in deepening a bond, showcasing this new, emerging person to someone close to you. There is a chance to reimagine a commitment or explore new roles by doing this. How can you shift not only your perspective, but the way you relate overall?
Now, a Full Moon enters your 7th House. You will likely see dynamics shift between you and someone you are close with. Some of you may dissolve broken or irreparable relationships, while others will get closer — forming impenetrable bonds. You are seeing the value in the give and take and understanding your boundaries in a new way. If you are seeking out a new relationship, it is likely you will find it. Alternatively, the relationship you’re working on could be one with yourself. Sometimes we think that we need to find “wholeness” through others and forget that we are whole on our own. So, consider this Full Moon an exploration of what you need, deserve, and desire. Understanding your boundaries and seeing how you fit into the picture will be pertinent. With the Moon in Scorpio, it seems that sharing a part of your life with others can lead to greater intimacy. Find even just a few people you trust and open up. Receptivity is huge now.
As Pluto squares off with this Full Moon, you may feel some tensions on the homefront. A desire for change or shifting in your space or family dynamic only leaves much to be desired. Energetically, you are withdrawing and that makes sense. Venus is now in your 12th House and Mercury retrogrades through your sign. You are reconsidering what makes you feel safe or supported. Perhaps even disappointments you have had lately are pushing you to do this. These internalizations can have you spiral though if you are not careful. Look back to September 15th and October 20th for some additional points of clarity. Take care to transmute anger into something more profound and healing.
Use this Full Moon to focus on the others in your life. Figure out the dynamics and how you show up to your relationships — and how the other people show up for you, too. This is all about the two-way street. You could have to make decisions or find a conclusion. Create boundaries where necessary and allow for the right relationships to flourish for you. You are on the brink of so much change.
SAGITTARIUS TO PISCES
Sagittarius & Sagittarius Rising
You are not really having as much fun as you want, as obligations and responsibilities start to pile on. You are siphoning through and pulling apart what you need to do versus what you are told is expected of you. It is good to want to show up and help, but there is a point when you overextend. That point sort of comes now, as you are seeing how your body is keeping the score of your commitments or obligations.
This Full Moon falls in your 6th House. Here, you are told to prioritize your well-being more. Your health, work, daily life, and routines all fall in this area of your chart. You may have seen major changes in this more mundane setting, yet you may not have realized how impactful the small shifts have been. This Full Moon opens a door of opportunity for you (or even several), where you can take more risks with work, find better solutions for your health, and retake control of your life. Consider this a chance to organize the chaos. You are settling into new routines, so be mindful of what you begin. You can kick old habits and start new exercise regimens. The call is to bring your physical self to the forefront. Alternatively, some of you may see the Full Moon manifest through your work environment with co-workers, your job tasks, or even the job itself. If your job is pushed out, then know that something similar is coming along. If not, then perhaps there are ways to update your work/life balance.
Pluto squares this Full Moon tightly, creating a dynamic and tense aspect that leaves us feeling a bit more depleted than not. The question is, how far do we really have to dig to find answers? In some ways, you can feel yourself spinning your wheels and having the same conversations with yourself over and over. Rumination leaves you exhausted. Maybe the outlet is to actually…let go. If a thought, idea, conversation, or relationship isn’t serving you right now, put it down. You can revisit it when things are a little light — and you will be anyway since Mercury is retrograde. People are putting more pressure on what you say right now too, so that isn’t helping the situation. Take a step back and figure out what matters in the grand scheme. Look at September 15th and October 20th for extra insights into what you may see come up.
Use this Full Moon to focus on your health and body. Take control of the details and mind the little things. Create better boundaries with work and cultivate a work/life balance. Seek a job change or shift in responsibilities if you are not happy with what you are doing. Find new clients if you work for yourself and implement new routines.
Capricorn & Capricorn Rising
We all deserve a little time to play, and you more than most honestly. You have been holding onto a lot lately, and issues with your family life are surmounting. But this shouldn’t keep you from doing what you love or what makes you happy! You need to find space to fill your cup, replenish your heart, and hold a little levity now. Generate a sense of whimsy, even if it feels forced at first — it will get you out of any funk you feel.
The Full Moon will highlight the area of your chart that rules play, joy, happiness, pleasure, love, and creation. This is about leading with your heart, listening to that inner child, and making time for more fun in your life. This is very welcome. This lunation reminds us that life is something to experience. You can manifest your heart’s desires into reality, simply by taking more risks on yourself. What makes you happy? What do you love? This is a time to explore new ways to play and seek out pleasure. Let loose. Because this is a place of creation, some of you may be creating something entirely new: a project, art, music, relationship, or even the conception of a child. Alternatively, consider this lunation a chance for you to sit in the spotlight a bit. It is okay to be recognized for your efforts and to celebrate your successes.
Pluto does square this Full Moon, highlighting how undervalued or under-resourced you may feel, especially from a particular community or subset of people around you. The pressure to be a good friend keeps you from actually enjoying the connections, and finding playfulness within them. Honestly, having intimate, frank conversations will be helpful — as people may not know how you actually feel. This conflict will be a means of peace, transforming any grief into a point of expansive connection. We don’t have to feel like we have it together all the time. Be messy if you need to be. Look to September 15th and October 20th as signals for what reaches culmination.
Use this Full Moon to play, create and get in touch with your inner child. Repair the relationship with your self-image and feel more confident in how you express yourself. Open your heart up and show people what you are made of. Take new risks and really put yourself out there. This is a time to be seen and take up room like you never have before. You are worthy of this.
Aquarius & Aquarius Rising
You are in withdrawal mode, and this should come as no surprise. For the last few weeks, you have been craving some quieter, more private moments. Lately, those have felt fewer and farther between. Now, you have a chance to call yourself back in more. Your innerworld, the past, and your domestic circle get more love — which can make you feel (operative word there) more restored. Feel free to say no to social outings and turn your focus more on your safety and core needs. Who can blame you for wanting to rest up?
The 4th House rules family, home, roots, and your emotional foundations. Here, the Full Moon will turn your attention to these areas. Perhaps you are looking to do some work around the house — renovations or redecorating. Maybe you are just on a house hunt overall, looking for new places to call home. Some of you may be finding more quiet time or family time, while seeking solitude after a busy few months. Whatever it is, you are bringing it all back to your center. Home is where the heart is. Family could take a central focus as there may be changing dynamics in this area of your life. Over the last year or so, you have been redefining what family truly is, or means to you. You have been putting down stronger roots and really focusing on your emotional well-being. This Full Moon tells you all of that work has a purpose. You can rejoice in the power you have called back and honor the peace you have created. This may be one of the best times of the year for you to connect with your ancestors, inner foundations, and emotional desires as well. If you want to buy, sell, or rent — this lunation can be quite helpful!
With Pluto in your sign squaring the Full Moon, you may feel a little bit controlled…or wanting to control something. Family dynamics are a little off, and you are trying to not let it get so restrictive, but it can be hard. You're undergoing some personal changes that other people aren’t privy to, and that is leaving you with less capacity to put into other areas of your life. If you drop the ball, drop it. Or consider that an outlet for this energy falls in your 7th House. Consider who you can rely on or ask for help. A close friend or partnership may be able to help you circumvent your aggravation. Just greet it with openness and not demand. Look to September 15th and October 20th for added insights for how this energy may unfold.
Use this Full Moon to bring it all back home. Spend time with your family. Redecorate or reorganize your home. Prepare yourself for a move or a change in the home/family front. Focus on your emotional well-being and tend to places where you feel more vulnerable. Create stability in the quiet and make time for personal reflection. You redefine your peace and carve out space for you to process how you feel. Your foundations are changing.
Pisces & Pisces Rising
You may find yourself out and about more — both in the world and among people. You are seeking out moments to connect, allowing your curiosity to light the way. This can be invigorating, as ideas start to pour in more — moments of inspiration. However, you can also feel a little overstimulated if you are not careful. There is a push and pull now with a desire to experience and a desire to ideate. You are called to get out of your head and into your body.
The Full Moon in your 3rd House allows you to learn, adapt, process, and integrate. This is about how you communicate not only what you are saying — but also what you are hearing. Part of shifting your perspective comes through dialogue and the conversations that you have with others. Your voice is your power. Now, it is time to learn how to use it. Through the 3rd House, we learn to express ourselves and say what is on our minds. Sharing is an integral part of your personal exploration — and how you choose to share is important. There can be a feeling of people inundating you with messages around the Full Moon. Perhaps you may hear news that you were not expecting. You can start a new journey for yourself by applying the skills you have in new ways. Your local community will figure strongly, especially those close to you. They are here to uplift you and support you, but they won’t know what you need unless you tell them. Asking for help isn’t weak – especially if it is meant to help you grow.
Pluto will square this Full Moon, making you a bit shy to step out of the shadows and the quiet incubation you have been in. This might make you miss out on an opportunity or point of growth. You have done a lot of work behind the scenes, but that doesn’t mean you are supposed to just stay there. A project or client can reach a turning point, just as a new thing steps forward. Shifting your routines and getting into a better groove will give you a stronger sense of control and mastery over your life. Creative work also is lighting you up now. As Mercury retrogrades, you are rediscovering something you have been wanting to share, work on, or do. By the end of November, you will be bringing (even a part of it) out into the open. Look to September 15th and October 20th for added insights for what you may be dealing with around this lunation.
Use this Full Moon to work on your dialogue. Use your voice as a tool for change and growth. Speak up and talk about what is happening below the surface. Establish strong relationships with those you trust and take a leap of faith on the things you believe in. Discern anxiety vs intuition and find peace in knowing you are still working toward what you want — even if it feels unclear. Perfection is unfolding. Right now, you have to address today to get to tomorrow.
