The Full Moon in Taurus occurs during Scorpio season on 26 October, when the Sun in Scorpio is in opposition to the Moon in Taurus.

Taurus teaches us to trust the natural unfolding of life, appreciate what is already growing, and understand that lasting happiness comes through not giving up on your dreams with patience and gratefulness. This Full Moon is an invitation to take small steps to manifest abundance.

The Moon is opposing Venus and squaring Pluto, forcing us to look at our relationships and resources. Venus is in retrograde in Libra and, as the ruler of this Full Moon, we are invited to process old connections, unresolved financial issues or unhelpful attachments. We are encouraged to look honestly at what we fear losing and what we desire.

Another message of this Full Moon is to keep taking the next natural step toward what we want, but let our intention be guided by a higher purpose rather than the material one. Abundance is not simply about receiving more; it is about cultivating something nourishing, meaningful, and lasting. Trust the path we are on, make the effort that is ours to make, and remember that the smallest steps, taken with integrity and intention, can lead to the biggest rewards. We don't always need to force a breakthrough; sometimes, we simply need to take the next small step with trust, patience and intention.

• Relationships and desires rooted in attachment

• Complacency and wishful waiting

• Power struggles and comparison

The Astrological Energies of November

The first two weeks of the month are for reflection, while the last two are for decision-making. On 9 November, the New Moon in Scorpio marks the dawn before the sunrise, offering energy for self-reliance and vision-setting. In the middle of the month, on 14 November, when Mercury and Venus go direct, clarity emerges around relationships or life decisions highlighted in the previous week. On 24 October, the Full Moon in Gemini is an ideal time for new journeys, studies, or expanding our horizons.

The Sign of the Month: Scorpio

23 October - 22 November

Famous Scorpio Quote:

“Throw me to the wolves, and I’ll be back leading the pack.”

Scorpio is the eighth sign of the zodiac and a Water sign. Its rulers are the planets Mars and Pluto. Scorpio and Cancer share a tough exoskeleton; they must routinely shed through moulting. Thus, their personalities are connected with the process of change, transformation and regeneration.

Of all the water signs, only Scorpio will fight, but this is usually only in defense. Scorpio people are known for their self-resilience, high intuition, transformation, honesty, and integrity
