The week opens with a bang. A Taurus Full Moon lights up the sky on Monday, and it comes with a twist that makes it more powerful than usual. Old doubts may rise to the surface, but so does your chance to finally put them to rest. Here is how the energy unfolds, day by day, so you can make the most of it.
A Full Moon That Asks You to Dig Deeper
Monday’s Taurus Full Moon would normally feel like a warm bath. Taurus loves comfort, good food, and steady ground. But Venus, the planet that rules Taurus, is retrograde right now. That changes the mood.
Instead of pure relaxation, this Full Moon invites you to look at what makes you feel unsafe. Where does self-doubt creep in? What keeps you from feeling secure in your body, your bank account, or your relationships? This is a powerful moment to find the root of those fears and gently clear them away.
On the same day, the Sun in Scorpio squares Pluto in Aquarius. This can stir up power struggles at work or at home. You may feel tempted to dig in and fight until you win.
Here’s the truth, though. Pushing for control won’t give you the peace you’re really after. Instead, ask yourself what is actually bothering you. The argument on the surface is rarely the real issue.
Try this reflection today: What is one fear that keeps me from feeling safe, and where did it first come from?
Fresh Eyes on an Old Dream
By Tuesday, the energy starts to shift. Early in the day, the Moon in Taurus squares Jupiter in Leo. You might feel like skipping chores and treating yourself.
That’s fine, as long as you don’t go overboard. A short break can recharge you more than a whole lost day.
Then the Moon enters Gemini, and your mind wakes up. Over the next few days, think about an idea you set aside in the past. Maybe it was a project, a goal, or a plan that didn’t quite work. Now you can see it from a new angle and make it work this time.
Wednesday keeps the momentum going. The Moon in Gemini forms a friendly sextile with Saturn in Aries, making this a perfect time to check where your life is heading. If something feels a little off course, make a small change now. Tiny tweaks today can save you big detours later.
Turning Toward Comfort and Connection
Thursday brings two shifts. First, the Moon in Gemini trines Venus in Libra, which makes it easier to work well with others. Be a good partner, respect other people’s boundaries, and show up when you say you will.
Later, the Moon slips into Cancer. Over the next few days, you may crave the familiar. New adventures might not appeal to you right now, and that’s okay. Lean into your favorite routines, your coziest spaces, and the people who feel like home.
But don’t get too comfortable just yet. Friday brings a test.
When Old Arguments Come Knocking
On Friday, Mercury in Scorpio squares Mars in Leo. Old fights may come back around. You might feel the urge to replay the same argument and prove your point one more time. Sadly, that rarely changes anything.
Instead, try stepping into the other person’s shoes. A fresh perspective can calm the fire faster than any comeback. If emotions run hot, take a breath before you respond.
Try this reflection today: What old conflict keeps pulling me back, and what would it look like to see it differently?
A Quiet, Cozy Halloween
Saturday is Halloween, and the Moon in Cancer squares Venus in Libra. You might not feel like a big party. If you need some alone time, give yourself permission to take it. A little treat, a favorite movie, or a long bath could lift your spirits more than a crowded room.
Then, as the weekend wraps up, the sky turns bright and bold again.
Opening Your Heart Under the Last Quarter Moon
Sunday is the most powerful day of the weekend. The Moon enters Leo, inviting you to focus on what’s going well. Over the next few days, connect with your heart and let yourself feel joy.
The Last Quarter Moon in Leo arrives on the same day. This phase is all about release. Over the next week, you can let go of old baggage that blocks your creativity and playfulness. Think of it as cleaning out a closet so there’s room for something new and fun.
The Moon in Leo also trines Saturn in Aries, giving your goals a helpful boost. Look for new ways to handle your responsibilities. A smarter plan can free up time and energy for the things you love.
Try this reflection today: What is one thing I can let go of that would make room for more joy in my life?
Reaching Out to Familiar Faces
The week closes on Monday, November 2nd, with the Moon in Leo sextile Venus in Libra. Teamwork feels easier, and new ways of working together can pay off.
This is also a great time to reach out to someone from your past who once helped you. A quick message could open a door you didn’t expect.
This week asks you to dig deep, let go of old fights, and make space for joy. Move gently, trust your heart, and remember that every phase of the Moon brings a new chance to grow.

Daily Astrology Snapshots
Monday, October 26th
Sun
Scorpio
Moon
Taurus Full Moon
The Taurus Full Moon is usually a time to relax, indulge, and be stable, but the ruler of Taurus is retrograde (Venus), so this is much like the Libra New Moon (since Venus rules both signs). This Taurus Full Moon can be a great time to reconnect with the present moment, to remove blocks to stability and security, and to focus on the root causes of insecurity and self-doubt.

Sun in Scorpio square Pluto in Aquarius
Fighting for power and control doesn’t give you the outcome you desire, nor the “win” you might be looking for. Try to get to the heart of the matter, or ask yourself what is really bothering you.
