The first Full Moon of Autumn's deepest season arrives on October 25th at 9:12 p.m. PST, illuminating the sky at 2° of Taurus. This is a Full Moon that demands your attention. Taurus is the sign of the body, the Earth, and everything worth protecting - your resources, your peace, your sense of self-worth. But this lunation is anything but simple. The Taurus Moon opposes the Scorpio Sun, pulling you between comfort and transformation, between what you already know and what you must become.
Adding intensity to the mix, both luminaries form a T-square with Pluto, which stationed direct just ten days ago. Pluto's freshly activated energy is raw, potent, and uncompromising, pressing on this Full Moon with everything it has. To make things even more interesting, Venus re-enters Libra in retrograde motion on the same day, asking you to reconsider what - and who - you truly value. This is a Full Moon for protection, for grounding, and for drawing a firm energetic boundary around everything you have worked so hard to build. Scorpio-style, we have created a witchy ritual to help you do exactly that!
Taurus Full Moon 2026 Protection Ritual
You will need the 2026 Full Moon Ritual Candle (Taurus Edition), the Magic Salt Bag, matches, and Autumn leaves.
CHOOSE a space outdoors or near a window where the Full Moon’s light can reach you. Arrange your Autumn leaves in a circle large enough to stand inside, letting their beauty honor the season and signal to both the Earth and the sky that this is sacred ground.
POUR the Magic Salt Bag in a circle around the leaves, sealing the space with its purifying, protective energy.
STEP inside the circle, holding the Taurus Full Moon Ritual Candle in both hands. Feel the Earth beneath your feet and take eight slow breaths, rooting yourself into the present.
LIGHT the candle and say aloud: “I stand in my power. I protect what is mine. Only what is aligned with my highest, most abundant good can enter this sacred space or my life.”
STAND in the candlelight for as long as feels right, visualizing a golden shield of light rising from the salt circle, surrounding you with protection and blessings.
LEAVE the candle to burn down completely inside the circle, and scatter the salt and flowers into the Earth when finished as an offering of gratitude.
