The Sky Letter reads the energies of the whole period, from one lunation to the next. Below it, the daily reading covers what is particular to this day within that period.
The Sky Letter — Full Moon in Taurus
Full Moon in Taurus · 26 October → New Moon in Scorpio · 9 November
This fortnight asks for a clear look at what is being held on to, and for releasing what has run its course before reaching for anything new. The Full Moon in Taurus on 26 October squares Pluto in Aquarius, and within hours the Sun's square to Pluto turns exact. The Taurus Moon wants to keep what it has, with some possessiveness; Pluto presses for change at the root. The Full Moon is the point where a cycle's work either comes into focus or shows where it failed. Here what comes into focus is attachment: which ties still serve, and which have hardened.

Venus in Libra, Chiron in Aries, Jupiter in Leo and the North Node in Aquarius form a mystic rectangle today. Two oppositions are held in place by sextiles and trines, and that gives the easy contacts more charge than they would carry alone. Through the day the Gemini Moon reaches each corner in turn by friendly contact, so the figure works through conversation. A grievance between people can be named lightly and looked at together. The Disseminating phase also begins today, a time to spread what a cycle has taught, with ideological struggle as its other face. If a story about who was wronged grows bigger each time it is told, Jupiter in Leo is inflating it. Astrocábala asks that Jupiter start instead from plain joy in being alive.
