What does this mean?
On October 26, 2026 at 05:12 (CET), the Full Moon falls in Taurus. Sun and Moon sit exactly opposite each other, which is why the Moon is fully lit. In the monthly cycle this is the high point. What has been building for two weeks comes into view, wraps up, or asks to be let go. This time the themes belong to Taurus.
What does the Moon mean?
Your Moon is the inner life: moods, habits, home. It tells what feeds you, what triggers you, and how you get back to feeling safe when everything gets too noisy, whether that's tea on the sofa or a call to your sister. The Sun describes the person you want to be. The Moon is who you are with no one looking, down to your reflexes, longings and dreams.
What does the Full Moon mean?
Full Moon: the Sun and Moon stand opposite each other, so the Moon is fully lit. What has been building for two weeks becomes visible now. Many people feel it as a peak, a moment to notice what is really going on.
What does Taurus mean?
Taurus is substance and stability: pleasure, patience, slow things that hold. It trusts what it can touch and decides with the body rather than arguments. Where Taurus is active, something takes root, gets made with care, gets cooked well, or rests long enough to ripen, like dough under a towel.
Full Moon in Taurus
The Full Moon in Taurus brings comfort, money and the body to a peak. What usually grows slowly underneath becomes plain to see and asks you to act on it.
What it means for your zodiac sign?

As Aries, you will probably pick up the undertones more than the main tune. They are quiet and can still be useful.

Full Moon in Taurus 2026 by the numbers
Worked out with the Swiss Ephemeris for October 26, 2026 at 05:12 CET: the Moon stands at 2°45' Taurus, the Sun at 2°45' Scorpio. Opposition just means the Sun and Moon face each other across the zodiac, 180 degrees apart. Sunlight then falls on the whole side of the Moon that faces us.

The new moon in Scorpio follows about two weeks later, on November 9, 2026. It marks the other pole of the lunar cycle. You will have to wait until November 14, 2027 for the next full moon in Taurus.
The Taurus sign profile covers what Taurus stands for: its element, modality and ruling planet. The 2026 astrology calendar lists every date of the year, and the page next full moon gathers the full moons still to come. The moon phase calculator works out which phase was in the sky on the day you were born.
How to read the data
- Moon position: the degree the Moon sits on at the exact moment. Every sign runs from 0° at its start to 29° at its end.
- Opposite lunation: this is the coming new moon, where the cycle begins again.
- A small test: on the evening of October 26, jot down one sentence about what seemed clearer to you that day. Dig the note out again at the new moon on November 9, 2026 and reread it.
How often is there a full moon in Taurus?
Roughly once a year. Between 1900 and 2100 we count 203 full moons in Taurus, with two in 2 of those years.
At a full moon, Sun and Moon face each other from opposite sides of the sky. With the Moon in Taurus, the Sun has to be in Scorpio, so this full moon lands almost every time in October and November.
Counting every sign, a year holds 12.37 full moons. One lunar cycle takes 29.5 days, a little less than a calendar month, which leaves room for a thirteenth about every 2.7 years.
