The next Full Moon is October 26, at 4:12 AM, with the Moon at 2°46′ Taurus.
Everything she has, shown at once, and nowhere left for the dark to hide.
The Full Moon is the minute the Moon stands exactly opposite the Sun, October 26 at 4:12 AM, at 2°46′ Taurus, with the Sun at the same degree of the opposite sign. She rises as the Sun sets and sets as it rises, and she is up all night, her whole face lit. When the alignment is close enough she passes through the Earth’s shadow, and the Full Moon is a lunar eclipse. The image for this degree: Stone steps rise to a lawn of clover in full bloom.
Astrologers read the Full Moon as the harvest and the revelation: what was planted in the dark two weeks ago is now visible in full, and so is everything that grew alongside it. The opposition of Moon and Sun is read as a tension between what one feels and what one intends, held in the open. The tradition treats these nights as a time for seeing clearly rather than deciding, and it has noticed for a long time that feeling runs high under a round Moon, whether or not the Moon is the reason.
2°46′ Taurus, the third degree. Stone steps rise to a lawn of clover in full bloom.
