Monday starts with a Full Moon, and it falls in Taurus, the most grounded sign of the zodiac. So the mood today is less about big moves and more about what can actually last. Money, comfort, the body and peace at home all come under the Moon’s light.
Where Is the Moon Today ?
The Moon leaves Aries and enters Taurus at around 5:25 AM IST (23:55 UTC on 25 October). It stays in Taurus all day and through the night.The Full Moon turns exact at 9:41 AM IST, which is 4:11 AM UTC, at 2°46′ Taurus. The Sun stands opposite at 2° Scorpio. In western astrology, this Taurus-Scorpio axis is about what you own versus what you share, and what you hold on to versus what you need to release.
Hunter’s Moon 2026 : Why This Full Moon Feels Different
The October Full Moon is traditionally called the Hunter’s Moon. It follows the Harvest Moon of September, and old farming calendars treated it as the time to store food before winter.That idea still works on a personal level. This is a good day to check your reserves, both money and energy. Where are you running low? And where are you holding more than you need?
Spiritual Meaning of the Full Moon in Taurus
Taurus is ruled by Venus and connected with the earth element. Spiritually, it teaches that peace is built slowly, through small habits repeated over time. A Full Moon here can bring a clear moment of truth about your sense of security.Some people may notice an old fear around money come up today. Others may feel tired of a routine that once felt safe but now feels stuck. Both are signs worth noticing. The Moon does not create these feelings. It only shows what was already there.But Scorpio’s Sun adds depth. It asks for honesty about attachments, including the emotional ones. A loan given to a relative or an unanswered message from family. Practical issues like these often carry a bigger feeling underneath.
Venus Retrograde and Mercury Retrograde in the Background
This Full Moon has an unusual twist. Venus, the ruler of Taurus, is retrograde and slipped back into Libra on 25 October at about 29°. Mercury also turned retrograde in Scorpio on 24 October, near 21°.With the Moon’s ruler moving backward, today is better for reviewing than buying. Look again at spending plans and any contract waiting for a signature. Avoid locking in major financial decisions until the details are clear.
Full Moon Rituals for Tonight
Simple practices suit a Taurus Moon best.Light a diya or candle and sit quietly for ten minutes. Write down what currently gives you a sense of stability, then note one thing you are ready to let go of. Keep the list somewhere safe.A salt water foot soak before bed is a traditional cleansing practice and fits Taurus, which links to the physical body. Cook a fresh, simple meal. Spend some time near plants or soil if you can.Many people also place a bowl of water or a crystal near a window under the Full Moon, then use the water for plants the next morning.
What to Avoid on 26 October
Avoid stubborn arguments about money or property. Taurus can make people dig in their heels. And Scorpio can turn small doubts into suspicion. If a conversation gets tense, pause it and return after the Moon moves past its peak.Skip impulse shopping for comfort. The urge to treat yourself may feel strong today, especially in the evening.
