This Week Astrology: Oct 25–Oct 31, 2026
The Taurus Full Moon highlights changing values and priorities. With Venus retrograde in Libra and the Sun square Pluto, reconsider what matters and what you're ready to release.
This week begins with Sunday’s Venus retrograde return to Libra, followed by Monday’s Full Moon in Taurus, bringing questions of personal values, relationships and priorities into sharper focus. The Full Moon marks the culmination of the lunar cycle that began with the Libra New Moon on October 10, revealing what has developed and what may need to change. Taurus is associated with stability, security, resources and the things we treasure, making this an important time to consider whether what we’ve valued in the past still reflects what we want today.
The Full Moon forms a square to Pluto in Aquarius, while the Sun in Scorpio also squares Pluto, adding intensity and the potential for significant realizations. Pluto is associated with transformation, power and regeneration, and its involvement may reveal attachments, expectations or circumstances that have outlived their usefulness. Although change isn’t always comfortable, these aspects can help us recognize where greater flexibility, honesty or a different approach might serve us better. Sometimes letting go of an old expectation makes room for something more rewarding.
Meanwhile, Venus retrograde’s return to Libra brings relationships, fairness and cooperation back into the picture. As the ruler of both Taurus and Libra, Venus plays an especially important role in this Full Moon, encouraging us to reconsider what we value in ourselves, others and our commitments. Later in the week, Friday’s Mercury retrograde square Mars in Leo may bring strong opinions or unfinished conversations to the surface. Thoughtful communication and a willingness to listen can help turn differences into productive discussions rather than unnecessary disagreements.
Overall, this is a week to appreciate what remains valuable while recognizing what may be ready to change. The Taurus Full Moon invites us to take stock of our resources, relationships and priorities without clinging to circumstances simply because they’re familiar.

On Sunday, the Moon remains in Aries until 7:34pm ET, favoring initiative and independent action before entering Taurus and shifting our attention toward stability and familiar pleasures. Twenty-Five emphasizes reflection, insight and discovery, encouraging us to reconsider what deserves our attention. Today, Venus retrograde returns to Libra, bringing relationships, fairness and cooperation into focus. As we approach tomorrow's Full Moon, consider where your expectations have changed and what greater balance might look like. Today's best use: Reassess important relationships and commitments with an emphasis on fairness and mutual appreciation.
On Monday, the Moon spends the day in Taurus, favoring stability, practical priorities and an appreciation for life's pleasures. Twenty-Six emphasizes responsibility, balance and achievement, encouraging thoughtful decisions about resources and commitments. Today's Taurus Full Moon squares Pluto in Aquarius, while the Sun in Scorpio also squares Pluto, highlighting changing values, attachments and priorities. What once provided security or satisfaction may be taking on a different meaning. Rather than resisting change, consider what remains valuable and what you're ready to release. Today's best use: Appreciate what matters, acknowledge changing priorities and let go of what no longer serves you.
On Tuesday, the Moon remains in Taurus until 9:01pm ET, favoring practical matters, familiar comforts and steady progress before entering Gemini and encouraging curiosity and conversation. Twenty-Seven emphasizes compassion, wisdom and completion, making this a good day to reflect on what we've learned. Following yesterday's Full Moon, take stock of what has changed without overlooking what remains valuable. Tuesday's Mars influence favors action, but Taurus reminds us that some things are worth preserving. Today's best use: Appreciate what you have, settle unfinished matters and make thoughtful choices about what comes next.
On Wednesday, the Moon spends the day in Gemini, encouraging curiosity, communication and an openness to different perspectives. Twenty-Eight emphasizes leadership, independence and achievement, favoring personal initiative and informed decisions. With Mercury ruling both Wednesday and Gemini, this is an excellent day to revisit ideas, exchange information and reconsider possibilities. Mercury retrograde may even help us discover something worthwhile in an approach we've previously overlooked. Today's best use: Revisit an old idea or conversation and explore what becomes possible from a different perspective.
On Thursday, the Moon remains in Gemini until 10:05pm ET, favoring conversation, learning and exploration before entering Cancer and shifting our attention toward home and emotional connections. Twenty-Nine emphasizes intuition, compassion and understanding, encouraging us to listen carefully and consider others' perspectives. Thursday's Jupiter influence supports broader thinking, making this a favorable day for productive discussions and discovering common ground. Today's best use: Ask thoughtful questions, listen with an open mind and welcome perspectives that expand your understanding.
Come Friday, the Moon spends the day in Cancer, emphasizing emotional well-being, personal connections and familiar comforts. Thirty favors creativity, expression and optimism, encouraging us to communicate constructively. Today, Mercury retrograde in Scorpio squares Mars in Leo, potentially bringing strong opinions, sensitive subjects or unfinished conversations to the surface. While this aspect can sharpen our words, it can also provide the motivation to address matters we've avoided. Choose your words thoughtfully and let honesty serve understanding rather than winning an argument. Today's best use: Address an important issue directly, listen carefully and turn differences into productive discussions.
And on Saturday, the Moon remains in Cancer throughout Halloween, favoring home, family, familiar pleasures and emotional connection. (The Moon enters Leo at 12:17am ET Sunday, or 9:17pm PT Saturday, bringing a more spirited, playful atmosphere for late-night celebrations.) Thirty-One combines creativity, discipline and achievement, encouraging us to bring imagination and practical effort together. With Saturday associated with Saturn, traditions and meaningful rituals may be especially satisfying. Today’s best use: Enjoy Halloween festivities, celebrate with people you love and make room for a little seasonal magic.
Have an awesome week, everyone!
Working with the Taurus Full Moon
The Taurus Full Moon on October 26 brings the lunar cycle that began with the Libra New Moon on October 10 to its culmination. Taurus is associated with stability, security, resources, pleasure and the things we value. Full Moons illuminate what has developed since the New Moon, often bringing realizations about our circumstances and priorities. This one invites us to consider what still provides satisfaction and security, what may be changing and whether our choices reflect what matters most to us today.
This Full Moon forms a square to Pluto in Aquarius, while the Sun in Scorpio also squares Pluto, adding an important element of transformation. Pluto challenges us to look beneath the surface and recognize attachments, expectations or patterns that may have outlived their usefulness. Taurus naturally prefers stability and continuity, but sometimes holding onto something simply because it’s familiar prevents us from discovering something better. The challenge is to distinguish between what deserves preservation and what we’re ready to approach differently.
Venus, ruler of Taurus, is also retrograde and returns to Libra on October 25, bringing relationships, fairness and personal values into sharper focus. We may be reconsidering what we want from our connections with others, how we manage resources or what genuinely contributes to our happiness. This isn’t necessarily about giving something up. Sometimes changing our expectations, establishing healthier boundaries or appreciating something from a different perspective is enough to make a meaningful difference.

The Taurus Full Moon reminds us that change and appreciation aren’t opposites. We can treasure what we’ve built while recognizing that our needs and priorities continue to evolve. Take time to enjoy what you have, acknowledge what has changed and consider what you’re ready to release. Sometimes letting go isn’t about losing something valuable, but making room for a different kind of abundance.
