The Full Moon in Taurus on October 26, 2026, highlights comfort, security, and what we may be holding on to. With the Sun in Scorpio, Pluto in Aquarius, and Mercury and Venus retrograde, it can be a week to notice where the desire for control is making change harder. Below is a daily Moon guide for moms, with self-care and Teen Vibe suggestions.

I had a lovely end-of-season sail with friends. On the way home, the Full Moon was rising, big and bright!

The peak of the Full Moon in Taurus was early Monday morning, October 26th.

Taurus is all about comfort, stability, and feeling secure. But with the Sun in Scorpio opposite the Moon, we may notice where the Full Moon is shining a light on our need for control and how it may be keeping us from making changes.

Pluto, the planet of transformation, is in Aquarius and squares both the Sun and Moon, bringing up issues around control, fear, and holding on to the familiar.

This might show up in a family routine, a financial concern, or a situation with your teen you want to go your way. Sometimes we hold on because something matters. Other times, we're simply uncomfortable with change.

At the same time, Mercury is retrograde in Scorpio, and Venus is retrograde in Libra. Both encourage us to look again at our choices, values, and past conversations. Be mindful of how quickly words can turn into disagreements as Mercury squares Mars later in the week on Friday.

Consider:

What helps me feel secure?

Where might my need for control be creating more tension?

Each day includes the emotional tone, a simple self-care suggestion, and a quick clue about what your teen may need.

Energy: Grounded, protective, with strong emotions beneath the surface.

Self-Care: Take a slow walk to settle your body before making decisions.

Teen Vibe: Changes to the usual plan may bring resistance. Be clear about what stays the same.

Energy: Patient, practical, and holding firm.

Self-Care: Keep one part of your day simple and predictable.

Teen Vibe: Protective of their time or belongings. Sensitive to changing their plans.

Energy: Curious, quick-thinking, and witty.

Self-Care: Take a break from multitasking. Focus on one thing at a time.

Energy: Talkative, restless, and ready for something different.

Self-Care: Try something new, even a small change in your routine.

Energy: Sensitive, protective, and easily stirred.

Self-Care: Give yourself time to settle before having a difficult conversation.

As this week unfolds, pay attention to where you're holding on.

Letting go can be the move that frees you.

Blessings,
