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, retrograde in Libra, trines the North Node exactly today, giving whatever has returned this fortnight an easy route toward what is still unsettled. That ease works both ways: a trine can let a reunion stay pleasant and change nothing. The Moon enters Cancer, its own sign, and forms two cardinal T-squares with Black Moon Lilith in Capricorn, one aimed at Saturn in Aries and the other at Neptune, also in Aries. If the wish to belong meets an old regret, the pressure goes into Saturn's question of what can actually be built. It also goes into Neptune's haze, where no promise should be made before things clear. Mercury retrograde in Scorpio squares Mars in Leo exactly today. Where pride is at stake, Mars pushes its own view while Mercury reopens what was said. The Moon's two T-squares pass with the day.
