General: the light returns to the familiar
The sun is in Scorpio this week, and Mercury is also in retrograde there. This forms a backdrop in which things you had closed off may come up again. For you as a Taurus, this often means thinking a little longer before deciding, and that is no bad thing. You are by nature someone who likes to choose carefully, and this week offers space to use that care without fixing yourself in place.
Imagine a Thursday morning when you sit by the window with a warm cup of tea. Outside it is grey, inside it smells of cinnamon and old books. It is precisely in such small, familiar moments that Taurus feels back on home ground. The full moon in your sign strengthens that feeling: you discover which rituals genuinely help you, and which merely swallow up time. You do not need to change everything. Perhaps it is enough to keep one evening a week free for something that pleases your senses.
The weekend of 31 October and 1 November may be a good moment to review your belongings. Not to get rid of them, but to see which things you use, which you have collected out of habit, and which tell a story. Taureans often place value above possessions, and this week you can explore what is truly valuable to you. It might be a conversation with a friend, a walk in the woods, or simply taking the time to finish a meal completely.
Love: warmth that does not need to shout
If you are in a relationship, this week may call for gentle attention. The full moon in Taurus makes the longing for closeness felt, but also the longing for security. Perhaps you notice that your partner tells you something you already knew, and that you hear it differently now. Try not to judge immediately. Rather, ask further: what exactly do you mean, and what do you need from me? Questions like these make room for genuine connection.
If you are single, the week may be an invitation to take your own needs seriously. You do not need to search for someone straight away. It can be worthwhile to notice how pleasant you find eating together with a friend, or looking at a work of art without hurry. Love often begins with the feeling that you are allowed to be yourself. A coffee with an old friend or an evening with a good book can nourish you more than you expect.
A practical idea for this week: cook something simple but good for the people close to you. Think of a bean and rosemary stew, or a stack of pancakes on a Sunday morning. Taurus loves things that are real, and a shared meal often says more than a grand gesture. You do not need to prove anything. Warmth often lies in the small acts that you repeat regularly.
Work: care without getting stuck
At work or during your studies, this week may call for a clear order of things. Venus is in retrograde in Libra, which may mean that appointments, rosters and collaborations are reviewed once more. For Taurus this is no disaster, since you value reliability. You can show your strength here: you pin things down, you check, and you make sure nobody is left behind.
Think of a project meeting in which everyone simply wants things to move quickly. You can keep your calm by asking which step must come first and which can come later. That prevents you from running after ten things at once. A short list of three priorities, written on paper, can help you avoid getting lost in emails and notifications.
If you are looking for work, this week may also be a time to review your CV and portfolio calmly. Write down which tasks you genuinely enjoy and what gives you energy. That information will be useful later in job interviews. So do not rush into major decisions; it is better to gather information first and then choose. Patience is a form of strength here.
Wellbeing: rhythm, movement and rest
For your general wellbeing, this week is mainly about a pleasant pace. After a busy period your body may give signals that it needs regularity. This need not be complicated. A twenty-minute walk after eating, a cup of tea without a phone, or going to bed early on an evening when there is no real need to stay up: these are ordinary, accessible ways of supporting yourself.
Taurus often moves best with the body, not against it. Cycling along the river, slow yoga on the living room floor or a dance class in which you simply join in can all suit you. Choose what you enjoy and what you can keep up for a long time. It is about pleasure and regularity, not performance.
Also pay attention to what you eat and drink, from an ordinary, everyday perspective. A meal with seasonal vegetables, enough water and a moment without screens can do a great deal for your sense of calm. If you notice that you sleep poorly or feel tense much of the time, it is sensible to talk about this with a trusted healthcare professional. This article offers general ideas, not medical advice.
The moon: full moon in Taurus on 26 October
The full moon of 26 October falls in Taurus at 05:12 Central European Time. That is the astronomical fact. The interpretation is that this moment gives your own sign extra light, and that as a result you may become more aware of your sense of safety, your material surroundings and your senses. See it as an invitation to direct your attention to what surrounds you daily, and not as a prediction of what is going to happen.
On 1 November the last quarter moon falls in Leo, at 21:28 Central European Time. This marks the moment when the moon is halfway through its waning phase. Symbolically this fits with finishing and letting go: you can look at what you wish to release, and what you would rather carry into the next period. For Taurus this may mean saying goodbye to an old habit that no longer gives anything, and making room for a new one that suits you better.
Use the moon as a calendar of feeling, not as an oracle. On an evening at the weekend, write a few sentences about what you have felt, what you have done and what you would rather have done differently. This is a simple and friendly tool for reflection, and it helps you avoid letting the week pass without awareness.
