Full Moon in Taurus, Oct 26, 2026, 12:11am EDT
The Full Moon occurs in Taurus, the sign of Mental Love. Here we are asked to be fully present and align our mind with our heart. From here we release attachment and resistance and attune to our inner guidance. The Moon is only four degrees away from Chiron at 29 Aries and is also resonating with Eris, so our “core wound” may feel front and center. That’s ok- get present and attune to your heart anyway. Our core wound isn’t something to heal from and forget- it’s what we are meant to embrace and allow.
Retrograde Venus is communing with the Sun and Haumea, and together they form a bridge with the Moon, Chiron and Eris. Retrograde planets turn the energy inward, so that is great time to practice getting centered and still so we can allow our inner wisdom to guide us. Whatever pain shows up at this time is meant for review- what are we still holding on to? What have we not allowed to have space in our lives? The Sun is shining his light so we may see clearly, while Haumea gifts us with cosmic creativity and renewal. Allow something to be released, and allow something new to be created in its place.
Pluto is forming an intersection with this bridge, asking us to reclaim our power. If you are giving your power away or in a victim mindset, Pluto will remind you that you create your reality. Do you like what you are creating? Remember, when we are centered in ourselves, fully present, with aligned heart and mind, we are in our full power. Pluto is in Aquarius, where we align with spirit and practice unconditional self-love. What could be more empowering that that?
Uranus and Neptune are forming great eliminators with the Sun/Haumea and in intimacy with the Moon. Uranus and Neptune are in resource with each other so what is actually happening is yet another boomerang yod with the Sun and Haumea being the friction point, and the Moon being the release valve. The Sun is highlighting something that causes friction, and allowing ourselves to feel our feelings fully without censorship is how we can release that friction.
Venus is also forming a resource with the Earth Star Chakra (Karmic South Node) and Jupiter while manifesting with the Soul Star Chakra (Dharmic North Node) and Astraea. Our heart space (which, remember, is undergoing an internal review right now) is resonating with a future led by justice and balance (Soul Star/Astraea) but while honoring that what we already have mastered feels very expansive right now (Earth Star/Jupiter).
Mercury (who just stationed retrograde on the 24th) is also forming an intersection with Earth Star/Jupiter and Soul Star/Astraea. So in addition to an internal heart review, our mind and communications are undergoing something similar. In this case, however, Mercury is asking us to notice where we choose an either/or approach in our thinking and shift that to something more balanced and centered. Choose new ways of thinking and perceiving the world. Choose new ways of communicating (Non-Violent Communication by Marshall Rosenberg is a great option).
This Full Moon is asking us to take a step back and just feel. Whatever is showing up, meet it with presence rather than resistance. This creates space for to move stuck emotions, release pain and embrace ourselves as we are. We don’t need to fix every wound or force a new beginning. We need only to listen, release what no longer serves us, and choose what we wish to nurture in its place. Our power lies in embracing all that we are while consciously creating what comes next.
