The Full Moon in Taurus on Wed. Oct. 24, 2018 joins the planet of sudden change, Uranus in this sign as well. Both are opposite Sun and Venus in the sign of Scorpio. So ready or not, big change is coming. Interesting times indeed.
Tanishka, the Moon Woman tells us "our challenge is to embrace the positive side of Scorpio – to feel intensely so we transform and allow the old identity and attachments to die so we can embrace whatever change life throws at us.
Why Scorpio? It’s the opposite sign of Taurus, so for us to embody the strengths of Taurus, such as love, patience, tenacity and strength we need the qualities of Scorpio to ensure we’re balanced. We have a lot of planets in Scorpio to assist us: Jupiter, (expansion), Venus (love) and Mercury (communication) will be joined by the Sun Oct 23, the day before the full moon.
Taurus is the most grounded of all the signs so it provides a stabilizing force for the opposite sign of Scorpio that asks us to transform through entering the intensity of the storm.
So chaos may move through our lives in the lead up to this full moon, destroying our best laid plans…however the energy of Taurus may help to rebuild with info that comes to light around exact full moon.
For some ... the full force of Scorpio (Venus, Jupiter, Mercury and joined by the Sun on Oct. 23) may feel both electrifying and terrifying as it asks us to release all we associate with our sense of security.
On the positive side, Taurus grants us strength and tenacity to achieve our goals, but on the negative side we may cling stubbornly to that which we’ve outgrown so we attract a catalyst that instigates change for us."

Astrology King suggests that Venus opposite Uranus "signals change or tension in your love life or finances. ... If you have a partner, an unexpected event, flirting, an affair or sexual experimentation may lead to drama or separation. ... Change and excitement can manifest in another area of life. Financial windfalls are possible but you should be extra careful with money. Avoid a tendency to gamble or invest in get rich quick schemes. Find stimulation some other way through entertainment."
Moon holding hands with Uranus "brings impulsive reactions. Sudden events may result in relationship upsets, family disputes, or a major change in an intimate relationship."
Astrology King also suggests that "Moon opposite Venus increases your need for love and affection regardless of the consequences. If single, loneliness could cause you to lower your standards just to be with someone. If you have a partner, different moods or needs may expose simmering tensions. Whatever your relationship status, if your emotional needs are not fulfilled through human contact, you may be tempted to substitute with sugar, drugs, alcohol or shopping."
