The Taurus full moon arrives during Scorpio season each year to anchor you during an astrologically intense time. The October full moon in Taurus happens to be the third (and final!) lunar eclipse in a series that began in 2021! Here’s what it means for you.
Over and out! On Saturday, October 28, 2023 (at 4:24 PM Eastern), we’ll experience the third and final lunar eclipse in fiscally fit Taurus, the sign of money, material security and hard work. This eclipse series began rippling across the Taurus/Scorpio axis on November 19, 2021. It’s been radically revamping the economy and our personal financial habits for the past two years.
No need for austerity, though! Sensible but sensual Taurus loves luxury; this zodiac sign is ruled by pleasure goddess Venus. The key is making sure you’ve got enough resources to cover the basics while enjoying those earthly delights.
With the October Taurus full moon:
• an exciting money-making opportunity could turn up.
• you could have second thoughts about your job satisfaction.
• you might have an epiphany about better work/life balance.
Taurus rules our daily routines, and this lunar eclipse gives a big push to finally break bad habits and put life-affirming practices into place. Try this: Instead of focusing on an overly lofty (“I’m cutting out sugar, carbs and dairy!”), set a sustainable shift that fits with your lifestyle—enough of a change to make an impact, but not so gargantuan that you actually give up before it gains traction. In other words, set yourself up for success (a Taurean two-thumbs up to that!) Try one of our many Taurus Full Moon Rituals!

Hang on tight! The Taurus full moon brings you back to your senses—and your sensuality—with a sudden jolt.
Are you feeling ungrounded? Anxious for no discernible reason? Earthy Taurus energy can get your feet back on terra firma. It can make you strong and stable enough to alchemize all the mystical Scorpionic visions into tangible form.
But first, get ready to weather a few last unexpected shakeups. The October Taurus full moon is a game-changing lunar eclipse, rounding out a 3-part series that started on November 19, 2021 and left off on November 8, 2022. November 8 also happened to be Midterm Election Day in the U.S. which brought surprisingly blue results after predictions of a “red wave.” SO eclipse!
What is the meaning of the Taurus full moon eclipse?
The 2023 Taurus full moon lunar eclipse could bring a metaphoric earthquake before you find steady ground. Don’t wait for change to happen to you. Get proactive!
What unproductive habits might be holding you back? Where have you been failing to appreciate the comforts you have—or to value the folks who have your back? Eclipses are known for revealing and concealing. The Taurus full moon could bring some eye-opening reminders to pay attention to everything you’ve been taking for granted.
During the week of the Taurus full moon, put an infrastructure in place to “capture” a dream you’ve been hunting since the Taurus new moon six months ago.
Don’t tiptoe—the Taurus full moon gives you permission to open the throttle. Just remember to take the curves with Taurean precision and pragmatism.
