      Full Moon at 2*45' Taurus

October 26th 2026, 1:11am Eastern

3rd Shape: BULL

25° 42' 51'' Aries – 8° 34' 17'' Taurus

Not every one of the 28 Shapes will host a lunation each year, and which do and which do not tends to paint its own kind of story upon the canvas of the annual, solar cycle. Thus far this Astrological Year (from last Vernal Equinox until now goes:

BABOON-full, BULL-new, LEOPARD-full, FALCON-new, DEER-full, DOG-new, VIRGIN-full, ASP-new, LIGHTNING-full, SHEGOAT-new, CHILD-full, HEGOAT-new, OX-full, CAT-new

And then from here until next Vernal Equinox:

BULL-full, LEOPARD-new, FALCON-full, DEER-new, SERPENT-full, TORCH-new, HORSE-full, GARLAND-new, ASP-full, CHILD-new, BABOON-full

As we can see, tomorrow’s BULL Full Moon relates back to last spring’s BULL New Moon, which occurred on May 16th 2026 and notably contained a conjunction between Mars and Chiron in Aries just before the exact conjunction of Moon and Sun in Taurus. In fact, Chiron was at the same degree then as it is now, with only about 3 minutes of solar arc by tomorrows lunation, meaning the Moon must pass over it to enter Taurus and then climax in light and fullness. Not only that, but Mars not in Leo is working its way to trine Chiron along with Jupiter congregating around the South Node. Harmonization of fire dynamics is certainly a theme here, so you might think in your own life where the impulses to be independently motivated arise from and how you celebrate your self sovereignty in action, how you might feel somehow wounded, injured, hindered, or triggered in this realm of capability and direct, unmediated action taking fueled by resonant, central, spiritual expression.

Furthermore, as this is late Aries and is referencing the now few years back conjunction of Jupiter and Chiron in Aries, and its own 47 year long cycle, calling into question what coherence needs to be expanded around how macrocosmic technological mutations have traumatized us and require healing and integration to move forward with our own non-programed or pop-projected ethos. This is also Jupiter opposite in position to where it was in Aquarius in 2021, so the poles need adjusting as concerns what emerges from your unfiltered conscious-awareness and what stokes its flames of inspiration or beckons your attention aside from idea and information automation conveyer belts.

The Nodes being square to where they were around that time (then Scorpio-Taurus and now Leo-Aquarius) extend this analysis of what to move in and what to move out of our lives by making room to pioneer in authentic ways, rather than remain in a globalized glob of pseudo-countercultural fluff. Here’s where bad starts to sound good as long as it is both real in substance and raw in craft, as formats are beginning to go out the window; we’ve all been de-platformed, and are probably better for it, at least it seems we will be, we just have to finish walking down this tunnel of unknown length to get to the light again…someday.

So, as we’ve rewound ourselves back through authentic counterculture, to pseudo-counterculture of the masses, back to the pre-counterculture candles-in-the-dark phase collectively, with culture-vulture vacuum types being the predominant stance of the passive cultural norm no longer receiving cues from the silent majority of creative types turned to relative radio silence gears spin again and in our snuffed wicks state we can feel the whir but while seeing nothing; no matter the kinetic energy is palpable, we’re going live, just not broadcasting. As Chiron contributes: we’re too traumatized to return to full virtuality. The world is being made both big and small at once, and the constants are being redistributed, the what is insider and what is outsider, but inside of what and outside of what, is all being redefined. Frontiers seem to just present themselves suddenly. No one goes there, or everyone is already there, so, you know… bye byyyyyeeee…

Bull Shape throws an interesting lunar luminosity into this perspective. The lunation sees Pluto in Aquarius, and despite it’s ominousness, it’s black hole like totality, its relentless technocracy, its unknown depths of progressive style corruption, it says a solid “fuck you” anyway, as it’s talking from the visceral base level of material, corporeal, somatic, embodied reality not really caring what post-modernity’s next horrifying concept might be. To the technocratic, formatted, automated, collectivized, homogenized, dispassionate phalanx it juxtaposes grandmothers, grandfathers, patrilineal, matrilineal, ancestral in general, including the soil and its fecundity, the clay and its shape-ability, the stone and its carve-ability, the basic notion of planning well for a solid outcome, the playing along with nature, the staying continuous with the music of lineage. Lived reality vs hypothetical concepts.

The trine from Aries and Leo, from our traumatized autonomy paralleling our fight to celebrate our sovereignty and expand our awareness and refine our attention, is a matter of fire; what motivates, enlivens, excites, inspires, vitalizes, resonates, or arouses, and impels. The traditional materials collected in BULL Shape also deal in fire. Most likely the fire in which sacrifices go. It is sacred fire, that employed and fed as a form of honoring. Fire is a form of energy expressed, and this kind of giving is also a fueling; it forms a positive feedback loop. What is worthy of our sacrifice and to whom do we feel we must bestow honor? What is the vessel within which this literal or metaphoric or metaphysical heating and cooking is to take place? What is to be offered and who is to be venerated and how, why? What are the resulting aromas, flavors, compositions and what do they represent, what archetypal or timeless experiential essence is transmitted through from participants from far flung place and bygone time with which we chiasmatically fold into a larger pattern of real life and living experience?

These barely tangible and unintelligible only known things are ours to namelessly acknowledge which automated models no matter how complex can not at all and never will guess at. This is gesture informed from within and beyond. It is when intuition is informed by something larger than a single intellect. This is inter-generational, multi-geographical synergistic motion. It is the living behavior of the ecosystem, and we can, in this type of energy exchanging positive feedback loop, engage with as a node. It is an embodied synergy that cannot be automated. It is perfectly imperfect. It is raw, instinctual reality sculpting bodies into kinetic motion. The subtleties take over in the momentum building graduality. It might be a movement of geologic scale. But it happens now… and then now, and then now, and then now, on and on continuously.

The Moon is in Taurus and Venus has just returned to Libra retrograde and is opposing that Chiron. We’ve been slapped up and knocked around where we tend to be bold about our own skill set and our agenda in that context, but we’re desiring to regain our balance and re-assess our aptitude for grace and charm. The Picatrix talisman here is for the “acquisition of good things”. ‘Good’ is a quality signifier, and a certain measurement of value must be made to determine if things are good. The subjective illumination of sacrifice, honoring, acknowledging and adjusting for warmth comes into consideration aside from simply if things are well made and of natural materials rather than cheap, toxic, factory made garbage forced on us in place of the real thing.

The Bull referenced in the PGM sense likely inter-relates with what becomes the mithraic bull, or, the celestial upheaval that went down when the precession of the equinoxes led to Taurus no longer rising when the Sun was at the Vernal degree, meaning out with the old and in with the new, or, goodbye Bull and hello Ram, or, the Ram age is now and the Bull age is then, at least was the case around the dawn of horoscopic astrology, as we are more than headlong into the Age Of Pisces at this point. So, by the time it was the Age of Aries one might honor those who came before by honoring that which belonged to the Age of Taurus, or, the Bull.

Mithraism contained its own code of honor, that being the bond between sworn friends, as it was popular amongst the Roman infantry, so, brothers in arms. In Verum terms this Shape falls under Agliarept, Lucifer’s deputy, whose seal is a horned man, perhaps bull horned, and the syncretized counterpart in Quimbanda is Exu Mangueira, a chief of a line of Exus and again a deputy to Exu Lucifer, so the Mithraic association to bounds in ranks and honoring to chains of command extends the acknowledgement of who came before you or compels you in the larger ecosystem/lineage in which you contextually exist. The Picatrix asterism is “Many Little Ones”, or, the Pleiades, continuing this one-of-many, or part-of-a-whole idea.

The Rigvedic deity associated with the 3rd Nakshatra (sometimes considered the 1st in Vedic order, again, displaying this precessional memory) is Agni, the divine embodiment of fire, and later considered an aspect of Shiva. This in itself is like the precessional transference, or succession of divine dominance, as Agni was likely indigenous and Shiva arrived later with the Indo-Europeans into the subcontinent. Either way, Shiva was the divine destroyer and Agni, as fire, breaks things down, and in this consuming and energetically metabolizing activity was considered the mouth of offerings to the gods, a macro/micro digestion dynamic as even your internal digestive fire was an aspect of Agni. The third-eye was an extension of Agni’s plasmic and prismatic abilities, the light of consciousness, allowing for connection to the divine. Again, we have acknowledgement of continuity with what you are a part of that is longer and larger than you as a single node within an array.

The 3rd Chinese Xiu speaks of the root or the basis of existence being built from the honoring of ancestors. Mentioned is the control of infectious disease through rare exorcisms which likely relates to right or wrong relationship with said ancestors, as it goes on to also elaborate on success in general arriving through ancestral commemoration as the base or floor bottom of a life’s stable structure and the importance of complying with sacrificial and commemorative protocols, learning from elders living and dead and respectfully consult oracles. This is all pretty explicit. The last part, concerning oracles likely relates to when the star Alcyone of the Pleiades was around this degree, as it’s lore relates to seers and sibyls, especially those who can impart knowledge of ones fate, not sugar coating it if tragedy is a component of the plot.

This might reverberate into where Pluto is situated in the Shapes currently as it makes a square with the Sun and Moon across the lunation axis, that being LIGHTNING Shape. Pluto already pushes us into obsessive states where we can easily end up rabbit or worm holing, but LIGHTNING in particular has a diagnosis-to-shocking-epiphany dynamic, which is just enough flash to keep us tunneling through the Aquarian data towards scintillating new conceptualizations. The narrative tension to the lunation axis brings the reality check: we’re here tuned to that we would love to present to our grandmothers and serve those who have already gone beyond and left us to continue atavistically with the visceral work.

This may be a well deserved somatic prompt, as, since we’ve been so mishandled and mangled by the last decade’s societal over-reach, we’ve developed weird ways of being in our body or inhabiting our beings that need to find a way to ease back into the nourishing kinetics which are fed to us from our various vectors of lineage intersectionality which makes up the tapestries of our being-ness and self-hood put into action in the incarnate realm. Stuff you ate, things you wore, languages you spoke, experiences you enjoyed, paintings you pondered, dances you participated in… whatever it may be. Get the vessel warmed up, shatter the the nostalgia, seek the essence, connect to the continuum, mind the quality, find your footing, engage your grace and get that feedback loop circulating despite the exponential crisis of the contemporary age. In this sense, diagnosis and treatment serve the same end.
