On the Libra New Moon, I attended my friend’s new moon ceremony and pulled the ‘Fertile Void’ card, which really resonated with me.

The last couple of weeks have been challenging, as I was trapped in a state of suspension. I didn’t know what move to make, so I cancelled my arrangements and settled into the stillness of ‘no-thingness.’

However, as the Moon has been waxing to full, things feel like they are finally moving forward. 

Full Moons are known for bringing things to completion and can often shift stagnant energy. This upcoming Taurus Full Moon illuminates the difference between stability and staying stuck, helping us recognise what is truly sustaining us and what it is costing us to hold onto things we have outgrown.

While the Taurus Moon represents continuity, stability, and familiarity, the Scorpio Sun helps us to acknowledge change, transformation and emotional complexity.

During this Moon cycle, explore where familiar routines support you, and where your attachments to them are preventing growth and expansion.

Once again, Pluto, at approximately 3° Aquarius, is squaring both the Sun and Moon very closely, bringing power, control and uncomfortable truths to the surface, both personally and collectively.

It may also highlight imbalances in relationships that need attention, including possessiveness, financial dependency, or attempts to control an uncertain outcome.

However, this square also enables us to recognise our own part in any relationship dynamic that plays out during this Moon cycle, alongside noticing where others hold power over us.

Venus, who rules Taurus and retrograde in late Libra and close to the Scorpio Sun, is also illuminating issues around reciprocity, self-worth, money and partnerships.

We are being asked to consider whether there is balance between what we give and what we receive, and whether our choices are still aligned with what matters to us.

Adding to the cosmic mix, Mercury is retrograde in Scorpio from 24th October to 13th November. Mercury is asking us to revisit unfinished discussions, question our assumptions and address things left unsaid. Take time to understand what is happening, ask direct questions and allow time to understand an emotional reaction before acting on it.

During this Taurus Full Moon, you may have a strong desire to feel more grounded. Take care of yourself by eating nourishing food, getting sufficient rest, walking in nature, cleaning your home, or doing anything that feels stabilising and comforting.

The key to surfing this Taurus Full Moon cycle is to ask yourself: “What truly sustains me, and what am I holding onto simply because it feels familiar?”

This is a good time to take stock of what needs care, and what you no longer have the energy to maintain. This Full Moon can be challenging, but at the same time it helps us prepare for the coming winter, and recognise what we are ready to let go of that is not going to serve us in the future.
