The Full Moon in Taurus arrives on October 26, bringing a moment to pause, ground yourself and take stock of what really feels secure. Taurus energy is all about comfort, stability and knowing your worth, but sometimes we hold on simply because something feels familiar. Taurus are notorious for being stubborn.
This Full Moon asks a question: what are you carrying into winter that you really don’t need anymore? It could be a relationship, habit, expectation, fear or even an old version of yourself that you’ve quietly outgrown. So, let’s use this lunar moment as a cosmic clear-out. Here’s what your star sign needs to release before winter, because the impending season will bring you new gifts, pathways, options and opportunities. You need room in order to grow.
Aries to Cancer: Letting Go of Pressure and Perfectionism
Aries (March 21 to April 20) – Tarot card: The Chariot. The Chariot asks you to let go of the pressure to progress or succeed, because winter is a long, restorative season; less action and more thought or reflection. Not every phase of your life can be high octane, action-packed and overly successful. Some phases are about consolidating, shedding, reviewing, and resting. You are ambitious and passionate, your life is always goal-oriented or, at the very least, going places. But what would happen if you just let life happen for a while? Went with the flow? Followed the signs? Why not find out…
Taurus (April 21 to May 21) – Tarot card: Queen of Coins. The Queen of Coins asks you to let go of your material perfectionism – home comforts, aesthetics, body beautiful, fashionista-level outfits, perfect grooming etc. Chill. Relax. Be a little, dare I suggest, slobby! Your practical nature, high standards, and perfectionism can create to-do lists that overwhelm you and, sometimes, results in paralysis, in nothing getting done, and you feeling defeated before you’ve begun. This autumn, get into a groove of less is more, doing just enough, focusing on just one element… and letting the rest get a bit messy.
Gemini (May 22 to June 21) – Tarot card: Six of Coins. The Six of Coins asks you to let go of trying to fix, help, pour good energy, support and encourage everyone in your realm, all the time, at every level. You can be too generous. That leaves you, eventually, depleted, frustrated, and even resentful. Not everyone has it in them to repay your high-energy gifts. People give you what they are, not what you deserve. And some people don’t want your kindness; it makes them feel beholden or even weak. With that in mind, step back a little. Rein it in. Take care of yourself first and foremost. Maybe one good deed a day maximum!
Cancer (June 22 to July 23) – Tarot card: Eight of Coins. The Eight of Coins asks you to let go of working so hard that you burn yourself out completely. Seriously, stop. You have grafted to the max this year and you’re sincerely ready, on all levels, for a phase of rest, distraction, play, pleasure and general puttering about. You cannot pour from an empty jug — in fact, if you carry on at this pace and scope you’ll be no use to anyone anyway. Either book a holiday, reschedule your commitments, delegate, establish new boundaries, trim the diary, share the chores, say no, change your hours. Do practical things to lessen your load.
Leo to Scorpio: Focus, Trust, and Closure
Leo (July 24 to August 23) – Tarot card: Two of Wands. The Two of Wands asks you to let go of trying to keep all your options, openings and possible futures open. If you try, you will potentially burn through all of them. It’s impossible. Focus is needed. So start to streamline and prioritise the big goals and ideas and plans that really matter to you as we move towards 2027. What are you taking forward, and what can stay forever in 2026? It’s important that you do this. Your focus is necessary to land your big fish! Don’t let them escape and wriggle back out to sea simply because you were watching another line.
Virgo (August 24 to September 23) – Tarot card: The High Priestess. The High Priestess asks you to let go of needing, asking or relying on other people’s opinions, ideas, advice or leadership. Go within. You are smart — smarter than most folk — and practical, and shrewd, and diligent. Truthfully, there’s no sign that should really be ‘in the right’ as often as you are… so why don’t you back/trust yourself? The answers you need are all already within you. Solitude, patience and trust are the keys to open these doorways to immaculate insight. Rest, walk, daydream, meditate. Access your intuition and use it.
Libra (September 24 to October 23) – Tarot card: Ace of Swords. The Ace of Swords asks you to let go of covering up for someone, for protective reasons (maybe even self-protective). It’s time for the truth to surface — and you may be the one to unleash it and guide folk through this discovery. This cannot continue festering and warping your actions and interactions with others. It needs expressing, addressing, and releasing. A tough dialogue will no doubt ensue, but that’s better than this draining pretence. The outcome might be some kind of new chapter, fresh start, renewal… and that’s a good thing. You will feel nothing but relief. Don’t drag this out.
Scorpio (October 24 to November 22) – Tarot card: Six of Swords. The Six of Swords asks you to let go of a piece of dead weight you’ve been dragging (and wanting to let go of) for around six months. It’s time. This is not a surprise to anyone. This is already over; something you checked out of long ago, but have carried on with for reasons that no longer make sense, in truth. So, make it clear, call it time, create closure. And move on. I feel like mentally you already have grieved and ended this bond or commitment, you’re now just going through the motions (and it shows). So, stop. What a relief. Liberation.
Sagittarius to Pisces: Honesty, Boundaries, and Intuition
Sagittarius (November 23 to December 21) – Tarot card: Five of Coins. The Five of Coins asks you to let go of pretending you’re not hurt and everything is just fine and dandy. I’m not saying you’re in a deep, dark place, but I am saying you’re grieving, regretting, or worrying about something — and I want you to know it’s not that heavy, that you can come back into the light quicker and easier than you think. Know how? Talking about it. Sharing the truth of your feelings, naming them, being honest. And then letting folk tell you about their similar experiences, how they coped, what helped. Seek fellowship, it’s like medicine.
Capricorn (December 22 to January 21) – Tarot card: King of Cups. The King of Cups asks you to let go of caring so, so much about someone who is, truthfully, draining you. They don’t listen or take your advice or help. So why keep pouring it in? You are much more sensitive and compassionate than folk realise. You have a soft heart and know how it is to feel insecure, unsure, unwelcome, or even unwanted. You carry your wounds privately, but they make you super aware of other folks’ feelings. And someone has struck a chord with you, causing you to pour a lot of energy into helping them. They really have made that the ‘new normal’ now, without them ever heeding your words or guidance. So, cut this off. Step back. Let them work it out for themselves — they have to. This is their lesson, not yours.
Aquarius (January 22 to February 19) – Tarot card: The Star. The Star asks you to let go of a fanciful, wishful yearning that you know can never happen. It’s draining your energy and will only serve to provoke dissatisfaction and frustration. You can dream a dream… but not this one. It’s not for you, it’s not in play, it’s not really what you need. Thinking about this has become a habit rather than anything useful or rewarding. Next time the fantasy starts to run, go distract yourself, and work on replacing it with something you can do. Because you could have a dream come true this winter — by February — but you need to choose it and work on it.
Pisces (February 20 to March 20) – Tarot card: Seven of Swords. The Seven of Swords asks you to let go of a relationship or alliance or connection with a person who your intuition is telling you is not trustworthy. Your gut instinct is right, even if you can’t pin anything on them. You are psychically gifted, don’t turn away from your powers. Lean into them. I am not saying to create a row, accuse them or cause drama. Just start drifting a little further out of orbit, lean back, avoid them more, create some distance… and then keep widening it. As you step back, you will regain perspective and see more, and maybe you’ll see the evidence that your intuition is trying to tell you exists. They are not deserving of your precious energy, Pisces.
