Sun into Scorpio: Moon into Scorpio: Full Moon in Taurus October 2026

Friday October 23 2026, is a fairly busy day…. 

First up is the majestic Sun moving into the watery sign of Scorpio..

Scorpio is the most intense of all the signs… She is tenacious when it comes to researching something important to her… She can be secretive, but seems to have a magical way of “pulling” secrets from others… The negative of being such an intensely emotional human, is the dark side of emotions, such as jealousy, or being pulled towards dangerous relationships and/or dangerous situations… Scorpio and Taurus are the signs most likely affected.

Next we see the Moon shifting into the sign of Aries. The Moon is connected to our emotions, Aries is Fire Sign. The Sun has just moved into a very sensitive Sign. Emotions may get heated, misunderstanding may occur, best to take a deep breath and walk away, it’s not the best time to force emotional or “heavy” issues. On the up side, we could have more energy then usual, and a sort of inner prompting to get things done and organized… It’s an action orientated moon… Aries and Libra are the signs most likely affected.

Following, we see Mercury doing his usual Retrograde motion on Saturday, October 24 2026 @3:13 am (ET) @12:13 am (PT). When Mercury goes retrograde, expect to have to re-do, re-send, repeat…. It’s a good opportunity to correct mistakes, but it can get frustrating when communication doesn’t go as planned… Keep calm and carry on as best you can…. Double check appointment dates, and check emails before sending them. This retrograde motion takes place in the sign of Scorpio… (the Sun is also in Scorpio). Scorpio is connected to 8th house life situations/issue’s… These include such things as mortgages, banking, shared money matter’s… Shared legal matter’s…It is advisable to double check all legal or financial dealings, ask questions… Scorpio and Taurus are the signs most likely affected. 

Please Click Here to see our past post on Mercury Retrograde. Please note, this is an older post. Presently, Mercury entered it’s storm October 18th, goes Retrograde on the 24th, until November 13, where he goes back into storm, until finally turning direct on the 18th. 

By the Sunday, October, 25th we see Venus entering the sign of Libra @5:10 am(ET) @2:10 am(PT). Venus rules Libra, so she is super comfy in this spot… Anything Venus related should move along smoothly, if changes do occur, it’s because they are “written in the stars) for you, and there isn’t any you can change things… This may concern relationship or partnership situations… While changes may occur, becoming closer in relationships/partnerships may also occur… When it comes to getting deeply invested in new romantic relationships, it might be best to hold back for a few days after the full moon has passed.. Venus loves money, she likes to spend it… She probably likes to make it also, especially if it’s got anything to do with re-decorating, designing, beauty, money… Take care with the budget, a care free attitude is fabulous, especially during these challenging times… however, it would be smart to check the budget before getting too carried away. Libra and Aries are the signs most likely affected.

Late afternoon on Sunday, the 25th, The Moon makes her move into the sign of Taurus. Things might begin to slow down a bit now, we can be more patient, perhaps a little more understanding… Our energy levels may decrease… and we might prefer to cuddle up on the couch, eating bon bon’s and drinking wine/beer/tea/coffee.. We are geared towards comfort now, slowing down to “smell the roses”.. which is perfect to re-set our emotional “chips” after the whirl wind sensitive, Aries Moon/Scorpio Sun. Trouble is, things aren’t going to move along as quickly as we might like when it comes to replies, finding out test results, job interview decisions… (Mercury is also retrograde now). Security of self, possessions and finances are super important for the next few days… As this sign shift occurs close to the Full Moon, possible solutions bringing about endings and conclusions may be available.. closure is possible now. Taurus and Scorpio are the signs most likely affected

Please Click Here to see our past post on Moon in Taurus. All Taurus traits will be amplified during a Full Moon. 

This Full Moon, also called Hunter’s Moon because it appears to be closer to the earth, creating a bright light, which in the days of old would have illuminated the fields after harvest, making hunting easier. (If it’s not cloudy of course 😊). occurs on Sunday, October 25 2026, @9:12 pm (PT). On Monday, October 26 2026, @12: 12 am (ET). In the sign of Taurus. Taurus is also ruled by Venus, Giving us a double Venus influence. The Full Moon as you look it, is a perfect round shape, it’s FULL… and traditionally, this was looked at as representing completion. It is the perfect time to finish up tasks, to clear the fields, to tidy away the mess, by eliminating what is no longer working or needed, and especially that which is causing heartache and stress over health and happiness. Taurus, Cancer, maybe Capricorn and Scorpio are the signs most likely affected. Take note though, that the Full Moon affects all of us on some level. If your sleep is affected, or you feel more bloated then usual, it is likely the Full Moon energy…

The Moon and Astrology: How it affects our daily life… Transiting New Moon in Libra October 2026:

Present Moon Sign/Phase/House:

  • Date: October 9 @4:11am(ET) @1:11am(PT)
  • Moon Sign: Libra 
  • New Moon on Saturday October 10:
  • Moon Phase: 4th. Moves into the 1st on October 11:
  • Void-off-Course: October 10 @ 7.07 pm (ET) 4.07 pm (PT) 

What does it all mean?

  • Libra has a need for balance, indicating this moon period may be an ideal time to implement some into our daily lives. 
  • A desire for justice may be present, dealing with issues that have upset our sense of justice may prove to be productive. 
  • Diplomacy is likely to be more apparent during the next few days, and may be a good time to bring up that topic you have been putting on the back burner. 
  • Hesitation is probably going to raise its head, we may see many sides of a story and find it difficult to make up our minds. 
  • Difficulty in making commitments or long-term decisions, because we can’t make up our minds. If this is the case perhaps wait a few days until the move has moved out of Libra. 
  • Libra is happiest when in a relationship or partnership. Indicating this may be a good time to begin one. :) 
  • Co-operation should be in the air, making this an ideal time to make plans with others. 
  • May be a good time to improve our appearance and surroundings. 
  • May be great time to go bargain hunting, 
  • This moon sign will affect us all but will have more of an effect on those who have the following in their charts.
    • Moon in Libra,
    • Sun in Libra,
    • Venus in Libra
    • Moon in 7th house,
    • Any aspects to the Moon or Venus
    • Any Aries/Mars chart influences

NEW MOON…

October 10 @11:50 am (ET) @8:50 am (PT)

The new moon will increase the influences listed above.

  • Traditionally the New Moon is said to be the best time to begin any new projects, relationships or jobs…

  • New relationships could be formed now, along with new business partnerships being formed. This is good news, in today’s sometimes bleak outlook. However, jumping head first into anything new that involves emotional/financial commitment is not recommended. If something feels off, take note, if the guy or gal seems “out of this world” he/she may well be. 😁

  • Venus went into retrograde motion on October the 3rd, in the sign of Scorpio. Venus will remain in retrograde until November 13 ending up in the sign of Libra, as she backs into that sign towards the end of October.

  • Venus rules Libra., due to Venus’s retrograde motion,  and because this combination represents relationships and partnerships, this particular New Moon may not be the best time to commit oneself regarding new relationships/partnerships.

  • Going “backwards” means going over things that have already occurred. Sometimes, we aren’t aware that things have occurred, or we may have missed an opportunity. The retrograde motion gives us a chance to learn from past “mistakes”, to correct negative behaviour patterns, to have an honest look at ourselves, and in this instance, how our behaviours prop up or deter our daily relationships/partnerships .

  • Retrograde Venus is visiting with the sign Scorpio during this New Moon, Scorpio is very intense, secretive and can be jealous. It would be wise to take care in our daily interactions under this new moon’s energy. 


The Moon and Astrology

&

HOW IT AFFECTS OUR DAILY LIVES… 

In astrology, the moon is connected to our emotions and reactions… how we are feeling on a given day may well be influenced by the sign that is visiting the moon… Each sign stays with the moon for up to 2.5 days…. :) 

The Moon Void-off-Course: 

There are times throughout the month when the moon isn’t fully immersed in any sign… this is when we say the moon is Void off Course… and when this occurs, we may feel “foggy” and “unfocused” … We may not be sure how we are truly feeling about a situation or a person…. Therefore it is not recommended that we make long-term commitments or important decision’s while the moon is Void off Course…. However there are 4 signs in the zodiac which may prove positive during the Void-off-Course moon… Good for Void-Off-Course Moon:These v/c signs may prove to be quite productive times.

  • Cancer
  • Taurus
  • Sagittarius
  • Pisces…

Opportunity Periods  (thanks to astrologer Jim Shawvan):

There are other periods throughout the month that are known as opportunity periods, when it can prove to be a positive time for most people, however if you have challenging aspects happening within your own chart you may not be able to make use of opportunity periods. astrologer and Llewellyn’s Daily Planetary Guide for opportunity periods.

Inspirational Words: Messages from the Rose Cards: October 3rd 2026: Sun moved into Libra September 22nd

“Messages from the Rose”

by Karen

We don’t have a last name for Karen, she was one of our consignment family from when we had our physical store front, many years ago, We are grateful to have retained a deck of Karen’s cards, and we are delighted to share her positive outlook with you all.


Your destination begins with the first step you take

Often we remain unaware of what is truly at stake

The future is in reality, an end result of today

Yet how you manifest the present will hold the ultimate sway

So, take this time to refocus your visions and your current goal

Stay present, where you will begin to operate from the level of the soul.

God Bless, sending out hugs to whomever may need them today… 💜

  • The Sun moved into the sign of Libra, ♎⚖ on September 22nd @8:0pm (ET) @5:05pm (PT).

  • Libra is ruled by the planet Venus,

  • Libra is a Cardinal Air sign, connected to the 7th house of relationships/partnerships.

  • Libra is about balance, relationships, harmony, getting along… But also about Justice and doing the right thing… While mostly polite and thoughtful, don’t be too fooled by their diplomatic persona, they can be moody, fight the good fight, and when it comes to making important decisions, all sides have to be weighed out… Normally a sensible thing to do, however, sometimes for Libra, it can cause unnecessary stress…

  • Libra’s, while appearing mild mannered, are very intelligent people, ruled by air, they are forever asking questions.

  • Venus is connected to money and all things beautiful, making most Libra’s distasteful of bad manners, icky things or other peoples negative energy.

  • Without our Libra’s who would we have to see both sides of the story? who would there be to create beauty all around us?

     🥰


Happy Birthday Libra…

we wish you all a fabulous year ahead,

filled with laughter, good health and prosperity.
