What does the Full Moon in Taurus mean in astrology?
The October Full Moon follows September’s Harvest Moon. In Western astrology, Taurus represents stability, money, comfort and personal values, while Scorpio relates to emotional depth, shared resources and transformation.
According to Richard Régul, focus on recognising what no longer nourishes you. You may need to review a financial arrangement, reconsider a commitment or ask whether a familiar situation still fits your needs.
Instead of holding on to something simply because it feels safe, use this period to examine your priorities and decide what deserves your time and energy.
