The sky on the night of October 26, 2026

Full Moon

A full moon shines in Taurus.

The moon reaches its full phase tonight near 7 degrees of Taurus. In Western tradition, October's full moon is called the Hunter's Moon.

The moon rises as the sun sets and stays up through the night until morning, its bright light washing out faint stars. Mercury appears low just after sunset in Scorpio, seeming to move backward across the sky. Venus appears to move backward in Libra too, but is difficult to see in the sun's glare.

In astrology, the full moon symbolizes inner feelings coming into view. As a playful reflection rather than a prediction, write down a feeling that stands out today before you go to sleep.
