The full moon in Taurus is exact on Saturday, October 28 at 4:24 p.m. eastern time. It’s a partial lunar eclipse and can be seen in portions of Europe, Asia, Australia, Africa, North America, South America, and Antarctica. The journey of the moon passing over the earth’s shadow (that is, when the earth blocks sunlight from reaching the moon) begins at 2:01 p.m. and ends at 6:26 p.m.

One thing that makes this full moon/lunar eclipse in Taurus special is that it is the last eclipse in this sign for a while, completing the Taurus-Scorpio axis eclipse cycle that began in 2021. Now is a great time to think about what’s been going on with you for the past 18 months or so and how your life is different now as opposed to then.

Another interesting feature of this lunar eclipse is that Venus, the ruling planet of Taurus, is also the ruling planet of Libra, where we had the solar eclipse two weeks ago. As a result, the two eclipses have similar themes centered on self-worth—Venus style—which involves becoming more comfortable setting your boundaries and being true to your authentic needs and desires.

By itself, Taurus is a zodiac sign whose key words are about determining what is valuable and what is not, material possessions, taking care of physical needs, and enjoying the pleasures derived from the five senses.

The shadow side of Taurus can manifest as material greed and over-indulgence in earthly pleasures. However, keep in mind that wanting material wealth and creature comforts are not a bad thing in and of themselves.

In its highest expression, Taurus is about having an abundance mindset coming from a place of integrity and high self-esteem. It’s about taking responsibility for meeting your own needs, enjoying life as it is in 3D reality, and thinking enough of yourself to look good and maintain your health.

And please don’t underestimate Taurus’ spiritual gifts. Being observant and paying attention to the five senses is the pathway for tapping into the “sixth sense” and the basis of a strong intuition.

During the height of the full moon/lunar eclipse in Taurus, ride the cosmic waves. Take a few days to let the energy wash over you and guide you toward what your next steps will be. In the days after that, use the energy of this full moon cycle to help you let go of situations in your life that are not in your best interest and lessen your sense of worthiness.

Be careful about how much you consume, whether it’s food, news reports, social media, or personal drama. Stay hydrated and get the proper rest that you need. Redecorate and otherwise beautify your surroundings. And focus your gratitude on the goodness in your life, not on what is lacking.

You have learned a lot over these past two weeks and indeed, over the past two years. You are strong enough and wise enough to handle all the best that life has in store for you.
