2° Taurus 45'
12:11 AM EDT / 9:11 PM PDT

October 26, 2026 — A Taurus Full Moon forms on Monday, amplifying the heaviness and intensity of a particularly potent Scorpio season. This lunation is ruled by Venus, who is now retrograde and opposite the Moon. She’s beginning to exit a harsh angle to Pluto, Lord of the Underworld. Mercury has also just stationed retrograde in Scorpio, and we are mired in introspection while moving deeper into a period of reflection and recalibration.

Emotions are surging as neglected psychological matter peeks out from behind our cellar doors. Raw honesty is presenting itself, and revelation, catharsis, and healing are very much in order. If we’ve been suppressing sadness, grief, longing, frustration, or anger, they’re now making themselves known for the sake of release and transformation.

Clarity is possible now. As we feel our feelings, we clear our cups. Venus is at a turning point. This purge will lighten the mood and help us experience more of her call for beauty, harmony, justice, and connection.

The more we surrender to the underworld, the more we can gain the insight we need to adjust course and find our way toward real resolution. The key is to be honest about our feelings and mistakes, forgiving ourselves for being imperfect and human. We can acknowledge what we need to improve, shifting out of our own particular stuckness. From here, light begins to shine on where we’re going next.

Taurus Full MOON ASPIRATION

On this Taurus Full Moon, may we touch the depths of our pain and frustration while releasing our fear of truth. May we lighten our loads and establish new paths and orientations, as we feel braver and more aligned, refreshed, and honest than ever before.
