A Rare Blue Moon Is Happening On Halloween—Here’s What That Means

This October has not one, but two full moons, making the Full Moon in Taurus on October 31 a blue moon. A blue moon happens when two full moons occur in the same calendar month—they are super rare and only occur every two to three years. Considering this one happens to fall on the spookiest night of the year, AKA Halloween, it’s safe to assume this full moon will be filled with surprises. That said, they may not be ~spooky surprises~, unless you consider emotional surprises to be spooky.

A full moon occurs once every 28 days, when the sun and the moon are directly opposite one another and the moon is completely full and at its brightest in the sky. This October blue moon will be in the sign of Taurus, opposite the Sun in Scorpio, pushing us to balance our love for collecting (Taurus) with sharing (Scorpio). Taurus loves the simple, beautiful and pleasurable things in life—meanwhile, Scorpio loves the complex, messy and transformational. At odds with one another, as they are for this full moon, they will push us to find the proper balance between both.

Like most full moons, you will want to focus on cleansing and releasing energy that is counterproductive to what you want to accomplish during this Taurus Full Moon. We must find ways to simplify the complex, beautify the messy and use pleasure to transform. This is also a great time to release habits related to stubbornness and focus on balancing your personal power. Moreover, you may find yourself given an opportunity to better understand how to balance your needs versus the needs of others. Oh, and like it or not, it’s time to think deeply about your finances, too.

From an astrological perspective, a full moon gives us a chance to reflect and reap the rewards (or not), based on intentions unconsciously or consciously set on its corresponding new moon. In this case, you can look back on April 22, 2020, when the New Moon in Taurus took place earlier this year, to see what you initiated or set an intention for. You might find that there has been progress made in regard to those expectations you laid out for the universe. This is because each new moon represents the start of a new cycle, and the corresponding full moon represents the culmination or fruition of that cycle (here, the New Moon in Taurus and Full Moon in Taurus).

What did you start, initiate or put out into the universe back in April? What was happening in your life? Use these answers to gain a deeper understanding of this Halloween full moon. Remember, Mars and Mercury are both retrograde, so you might not find too much progress trying to start anything new, but you can take whatever feedback the universe shares with you on the full moon to course-correct if necessary.

Use this full moon energy as a chance to assess how in alignment you are with your intentions, and make adjustments as needed. Also, this full moon will be closely tied to Uranus, the ruler of freedom, revolution and surprises, so it’s best to expect the unexpected on Halloween. If you find that you feel a strong urge to break free of relationships that no longer serve you, maybe this full moon is the sign you’ve been looking for.
