The Hunter’s Full Moon in Taurus arrives on October 26 at 12:12 a.m. Eastern Time. This lunar event shifts the energetic landscape significantly. Even though several planetary retrogrades invite us to re-examine the past, this lunation acts as a powerful catalyst to course-correct, adjust perspective, and step onto more solid ground.
Bri Luna, founder of The Hoodwitch and author of Blood Sex Magic: Everyday Magic for the Modern Mystic, launched her platform under this exact lunation years ago. She explains: “Taurus Full Moons are excellent for spellwork focused on money, beauty, and stability in the home,” adding, “I especially love this moon for working lasting money and love spells. Taurus brings that patience and commitment to tending what we want to grow, which makes this moon particularly meaningful for intentions around long-term security.”
This lunation also squares Pluto in Aquarius. This tense aspect pushes us to evolve and strip away outmoded patterns, confronting our relationship with vulnerability, control, and fear. Pluto governs our shadow side, urging us to face discomfort head-on so we can emerge renewed. When one door shuts, another inevitably unlocks—and what lies ahead may offer far more promise than what we leave behind. Stagnation is the real risk; if we hesitate too long out of caution, circumstances may force our hand anyway. Embrace the evolution.
Meanwhile, Mercury stations retrograde in Scorpio and Venus retreats into Libra, joining Saturn retrograde in Aries, Uranus in Gemini, and Neptune in Aries. With five planets currently moving backward, Mercury and Venus hit closest to home. Focus on staying grounded and doing your own inner work. Keep your core circle close, but allow everyone the grace to navigate their own process. With the veil thinning, our intuition exerts an immense pull on our emotional state. Senses are dialled up, receptive, and tender—move gently and lead with care.
