With the full moon lunar eclipse coming on October 29, Tatler’s astrologer Casey Chan explains what it means for each star sign

As we are still deep in this cycle’s eclipse season, the past weeks may have felt like an emotional roller coaster ride for many of us. The Full Moon Lunar Eclipse on October 29 intends to show us how to break free from stagnation by illuminating the areas of our lives that have been holding us back. In the sign of Taurus, our self-value, sense of security and inner stability are likely challenged.

Closer to the Full Moon, we may find ourselves triggered emotionally, which ultimately inspires us to find ways to make us feel safe again, whether through having a stable home environment or a reliable source of income. On the same day, Mercury and Mars come to meet in the sign of mystical Scorpio, making this Full Moon weekend extra influential. Although this cosmic transit suggests power, charm, and unmatched bravery, it is important we pay attention to our temper and avoid acting from a place of impulse and reactivity. 

On October 31, Venus in Virgo trines Uranus in Taurus suggests happy surprises. As they are both practical Earth signs, this unexpected gift from the cosmos could well be something physical that aids us on our journeys—think bonus income, complimentary gym membership, or a free doughnut from your favourite coffee shop!
