Oct 25, 2026 at 9:12 pm PT is a Full Moon in Taurus. Earth sign Taurus rules the 2nd house of Mother Nature plus the earthly aspects of life such as health, possessions, finances, security, and comfort. This full Moon and as the Moon wanes is an optimal time to focus on practical matters. Taurus is ruled by Venus so time to beautify your surroundings, especially now during Venus retrograde until Nov 13 to reassess, redo, and rebalance the beauty in your life.
The final Mercury retrograde of this Fire Horse year is Oct 24 – Nov 13, during Venus retrograde. Sincere communication in relationships will be necessary, and can be truthful during this Earth Dog lunar month as Dog is the sign of honesty, loyalty, and integrity. Mercury is retrograde in Scorpio, and serious Dog can sniff out the truth, so direct communication is required should secrets come to the surface. Mercury squares Mars and Jupiter in Leo whereby it’s easier to be defensive, so take your time to get to the core truth of the matter.
The Full Moon is opposite both the Sun newly in Scorpio and Venus in the last degrees of Libra. People could feel one way but act another, deemphasizing their emotions to keep the peace. But allow emotions to take precedence because the Full Moon, Sun, and Venus square Pluto in Aquarius. There could be difficult choices or power struggles about shared resources, attachment to material possessions, and the need for reality about spending. With the influence of realistic Dog, determine what is truly sustainable in your life, and what is too costly to continue. And good feng shui to do a big clutter-reducing purge during these Mercury and Venus retrogrades.
Fortunately, Mars trines Saturn in Aries. There is patience and willingness to address financial and material problems, and resolution does not need to be immediate. Reassessment can be done carefully, and efforts that may seem narrow in scope fit into a larger plan. You can patiently work towards your objectives to create real and lasting solutions. Contact me for a tarot or astrology reading for guidance.
Direct communication and truth telling are for all, and are most profound for Earth signs Virgo, Capricorn, and Taurus and those born in Ox, Snake, Phoenix (Rooster) and Dog years.
Happy Full Moon,
Susan

I am a virtual new born to your work having just received “The Complete Tarot Kit” 40 minutes ago which is now part of my Thoth specific group. After ensuring all cards & items were present and accounted for I turned my attention to who published this box and who authored book. So there you are, it was nice to meet you on the back of the book.
I quickly wafted to your website and landed in astrology-New Moon Oct 25. I am a proud but bashful Libra keeping it close to the cuff. Nevertheless I wanted to out my Libran Self and give you flowers this morning. While my interaction with your writing has only skimmed an article under a topic within a post, I liked what you offered and felt an unanticipated ease to your writing. So thank you for that. I am excited to see a fuller gambit of what you offer. Kudos!
Oh, the Flowers
Lastly, as the small Dye-cut that fell from a gift bag I was folding this morning says, “Have a Magical Day”.
Dear AJ,
Thank you for your kind words, and thank you for finding “The Complete Tarot Kit!”
As a Libra, your Major Arcana card in the Thoth deck is Adjustment #11.
But do the math to determine your personal Major Arcana soul card as explained in chapter 9 Tarot & Numbers on page 201 of “Introduction to Tarot,” the book that is included in “The Complete Tarot Kit.”
This could be a fun project for your Thoth group, to determine the Major Arcana card based on each person’s astrology sign (Aries is The Emperor, Taurus is The Empress, Gemini is The Lovers, etc) then determine the soul card too. These cards will have more meaning when they appear in a tarot reading.
To learn tarot, I recommend that you read a card a day. And follow my daily card on Instagram @susanlevittsf, or Facebook https://www.facebook.com/SusanLevittConsultations, or X @tarot_tweet.
Wishing you great magic on your tarot journey,
Susan
