Full Moon in Taurus
October 26, 2026
How many of you hold on because you fear what will happen if you let go? Sometimes we remain loyal to old choices, habits, or beliefs, even when they cost us more than they bring us. The full moon in Taurus on October 26 brings that attachment to light and gives you the opportunity to close what has had its time.
The Moon in the 2° of Taurus seeks safety, stability, certainty, and comfort. You want to rely on what you have built up, on the people around you, and on the circumstances of your daily life. The Sun in Scorpio focuses attention on what lies beneath: dependencies, shared interests, and things that are less visible but have an impact on your security.
When your trusted base is under pressure
The Sun is conjunct Venus in retrograde, this focuses the attention on what really matters to you. On the other hand, the Moon is conjunct Chiron in retrograde in Aries. This can give you a sense of vulnerability when trusted relationships change or when you notice that you are less independent than you thought.
Perhaps you discover that your financial security is highly dependent on another person, or that a trusted role within your work is increasingly not suited to you. Also, a change in your personal circumstances can make it clear that you have long been accommodating expectations that no longer fit with what you need yourself.
With Venus and Chiron retrograde, it often involves existing situations that are brought to the fore again. You just look at them differently than before.
Pluto reveals what hides beneath the certainty
Pluto in Aquarius forms squares with the Sun, Venus, the Moon and Chiron. With this, this planet forms the central point of tension of this full moon.
Pluto focuses on the systems and power relations within which we live and work. Sometimes a problem seems personal, while the cause lies partly in the way responsibilities, resources, or influence are distributed.
For example, you think you need more financial security, but discover that the way you earn income is making you increasingly dependent. Or you try to improve a partnership while the mutual control is not really well established.
Changes within organizations and societal systems can also reveal how fragile existing certainties are.
Because both the sun and the moon as well as Pluto are in fixed signs, there is a great tendency to cling to what is known. It is precisely that resistance that sometimes shows how difficult it has become to maintain an existing situation.
When new developments no longer fit into the old format
In addition to the tension with Pluto, there is another major configuration that creates tension. The Sun and Venus form a Yod with Uranus and Neptune. The Moon is exactly opposite the Sun, creating a boomerang Yod.
Uranus brings new information, insights, and possibilities. Neptune touches on expectations, ideals, and the direction you have in mind. Together, they expose the tension between new developments and the way your life is currently structured.
Perhaps you are revisiting a decision that you previously made with great conviction. For example, you wanted to live a simpler life, more freedom, or more peace and quiet, but you discover that in practice you have built something very different than you had in mind. What seemed like a good idea at the time now deserves a second look.
Information you have received before can also be brought up again. An old belief may turn out to be based on assumptions, or you may discover that you have viewed a situation from a certain perspective for years. This not only changes your view of the past, but also of the choices you have made since then.
The Moon in Taurus brings it back to your everyday reality. What did that previous choice actually bring you? Does the way you live now give you the peace, freedom, or certainty you sought back then? Or is it time to adjust your expectations?
What can you notice about this new moon?
This full moon in Taurus mainly affects areas where you derive a lot of certainty, such as work, income, housing, possessions, relationships, and the way you have organized your daily life.
Perhaps a situation that worked well for years is now increasingly demanding effort. A change in your work has implications for your financial plans. A discussion about shared obligations reveals that you have less influence than you thought. Or you discover that you place great value on a certain position, when in fact it brings you little satisfaction.
An old issue around self-worth, independence, or dependence can also resurface. Through the retrograde motion of Venus and Chiron, you may see more clearly why you are so strongly attached to a particular situation.
This full moon is an excellent time to let go of old certainties, beliefs, and dependencies that no longer serve you. Especially old certainties, beliefs, and dependencies that no longer serve you deserve attention. Due to the strong influence of Pluto, this also involves what you hold on to on a deeper level regarding a situation. The energy of the full moon supports the letting go of what has been holding you back.
Life areas & houses in your birth chart
The life areas where this is reflected and how it manifests in you are related to the houses where the full moon falls in your personal birth chart and the aspects it makes with your birth planets.
The essence of this full moon in Taurus
Sometimes we cling to a situation, belief, or way of life because it has given us certainty for years. Even when circumstances change, it is difficult to let go of something we have always trusted.
During this full moon in Taurus, it is precisely that attachment that is central. The strong tension with Pluto and the involvement of Venus and Cheiron reveal what binds us to existing certainties. Uranus and Neptune ask the question of whether our previous expectations still correspond to reality.
This full moon offers an ideal moment to complete and let go of what has lost its function. The fear, belief, or dependence that ties you to it also deserves attention.
What are you still holding on to out of a need for certainty, when it is already hindering you?
