Full Moon
The October full moon is exact on Thursday, 30 October 2031 at 07:35 UTC, with the Moon in Taurus and 100% of the disc lit.
A full moon in Taurus lands on the body and the budget: what you own, what it costs to keep, and whether it still feels like yours. Opposite a Scorpio Sun, it asks you to stop analysing an attachment and simply notice whether it is comfortable. Food, sleep and money tell the truth here faster than reflection does.

Taurus, because at the moment of a full moon the Moon sits opposite the Sun and takes the facing sign. It advances by roughly one sign a month, so no two consecutive full moons repeat it.
07:35 UTC is Universal Time. Take five hours off for New York, add one or two for Madrid, add ten or eleven for Sydney. When the instant falls near midnight your local date lands a day either side of 30 October 2031.

Finish rather than begin: settle the debt, return what you borrowed, send the thing sitting in drafts. The disc reads full to the eye for about a day either side of 07:35 UTC on 30 October 2031, and practice allows that whole window. Starting things belongs to the new moon a fortnight later.
