October 2031 full moon: Thursday 30 October in Taurus

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.

Meaning

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.

Rituals

  • Write down what you are ready to complete or release
  • Charge crystals or tools under moonlight with a clear intention
  • Practice a grounding meditation before important conversations

Journal prompts

  • What truth became impossible to ignore this month?
  • Where am I overgiving or under-boundaried?
  • What deserves celebration before I move on?

Questions about the October 2031 full moon

When is the October 2031 full moon?

Thursday 30 October 2031, at 07:35 UTC. That is the instant the Moon stands opposite the Sun: 100% of the disc is lit and the Moon is in Taurus. The instant is the same everywhere — only the clock reading differs.

What sign is the October full moon in?

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.

What time is the October full moon in my country?

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.

When is the next full moon after this one?

28 November 2031, in Gemini. Two full moons are 29 or 30 days apart, so the next one normally falls in the following calendar month; the table above lists every full moon of 2031.

What are you supposed to do on the October full moon?

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.
