Moon Diary: Hunter’s Moon – Full Moon in Taurus, 24th October 2018
Stubborn, innovative, yet sensuous, October’s full Moon astrology promises an unconventional atmosphere. This Hunter’s Moon rises at 1 degree of fixed, earthy Taurus, and sets the tone for the next two weeks. People will surprise us, but they’ll be almost impossible to persuade or cajole.
The heart of this Moon is in security-minded Taurus. Across the zodiac is the Sun in possessive Scorpio. Both signs value loyalty, love, and financial security. Neither likes to compromise, let go, or offer wiggle room. So situations involving love, sex, money or promises of security could be intense. Few are in the mood to back down.
Electric, erratic Uranus in Taurus joins the Moon – there’s a rise in emotional impulses and spontaneous actions that signals break-ups, love at first sight, and unusual tales of love, art, and music emerging. It’s about couples, but also families and people we think of as ‘family’. We question the way things have always been, or what society seems to expect. There’s the potential for reshuffles, fresh points of view, experimental ways of being in a relationship, family group, or working with others.
Many of us will feel like creating new traditions and rituals, or we’ll look to the past for inspiration and revive forgotten ceremonies and celebrations. Older, established artists and musicians could surprise people with their ideas, beliefs, or love stories.
Venus in Scorpio is still reviewing what we’ve already experienced in love and other alliances. Venus, ruler of the full Moon, works with old-school Saturn in Capricorn to say that if we work hard and are patient, we can build lasting changes. Budgets and restrictions now can seem very disappointing, but eventually something valuable can be created so try not to waste energy being resentful.
There’s more than a whiff of karma and the forces of destiny around too. Those energy portals, the Moon’s nodes, create a solid fixed pattern with the Sun and Moon – all our associations and links with other people are vitally important. Notice who you meet, or who crosses your mind or pops up in your dreams. Certain people will be catalysts for emotional release, or can help you with contacts, advice, or even by challenging your ideas. If you’ve got planets and points at around 1 – 4 degrees of Taurus, Leo, Scorpio or Aquarius in your own horoscope, you’ll certainly notice Lady Luna’s magic this October.
This powerful, uncompromising full Moon and her aspects shine on various national horoscopes. Places worth watching include:
Mexico – Moon at 1 degree Taurus
Quebec, Canada – Pluto at 1 degree Taurus
UK House of Commons – Jupiter at 2 degrees Taurus
Vatican City – Venus at 2 degrees Taurus
The United Nations – Sun at 1 degree Scorpio
