Hunter's Moon October 2026 with a YOD pattern

by Jude Cowell, partisan for democracy and the common good

Here are two images of the October 26, 2026 Full Moon @2Tau45:43 which perfects at 12:11:46 am EDT over Washington DC. The first Full Moon Horoscope of the "Hunter's Moon" of 2026 is unmarked by my usual scribbled astro-notes (you're welcome!), the second image is over-full of notations all squooshed upon the chart:

The crisis/turning point YOD pattern has Uranus-Neptune potentials at its base and a health connotation included (any, all, or none may apply):

Lack of control of the waking consciousness (guess who?); instability; peculiar and/or confused psychic states; nervous sensitivity; unbalanced emotional states; unusual inclinations; losses; wrong ideas; one-sidedness; inner illumination; growth of subconscious powers or forces; mysticism; paralysis of rhythmic processes; apoplexy of the brain; heart failure (R. Ebertin).

As you know, Midterms 2026 are soon upon us, and in October Mr.T plans to cover the country with speeches in an attempt to convince or promise to pay voters to vote Republican. And as you likely realize, such bribes will result in yet another example of his unkept campaign promises.

So considering his plunging poll numbers, I shall point toward transiting South Node of the Moon, a separative Saturnian point in space (with neurotic tendencies thrown in - same behavior expecting a different outcome) now conjunct his natal Mars and Ascendant. Plus, his natal 12th house midpoint picture of death, fury, and destruction (R. Ebertin) - Pluto = Mars-Saturn - will be ruffled at the October Full Moon as the Mars-Ascendant midpoint conjoins his Pluto which suggests potentials for violence, subjugation of others, and anger.

Then by itself, transiting South Node conjunct natal Mars describes actions that are out of harmony with societal standards, along with much anger, temper tantrums, and frustration (Skalka) for the old boy.

Declaring martial law against the American people or invoking the Insurrection Act would be "out of harmony" with our druthers, yes?

Meanwhile, tr South Node conjunct his natal Ascendant in pompous drama-queen Leo lends a bigly measure of loss of support and unpopularity, which, let's face it - has always been an off-on, fluctuating condition due to his natal Moon-South Node conjunction. They say that Mama didn't like him either.

So ultimately, the point of this post must be: Vote in November! Now I hadn't intended that this Hunter's Moon post would have His Heftiness spread all over it but there it is. Because as I made notes, there the blighter was.

Now let's close this fussiness with one of the Harveys' Images for Integration which, as you see, is penned upon the notated chart and which could be related to the Epstein Files via the Full Moon's water-earth "rigid, dogmatic, all-or-nothing" Sun Scorpio-Moon Taurus blend:

"Pluto takes Persephone into the Underworld."

October 24, 2018 Full Moon in Taurus: a Hunter's Moon

October 2018 Hunters' Moon? Politicians Are Predators for Our Votes!

by Jude Cowell

The October 24, 2018 Full Moon @1Tau18 conjunct disruptive Uranus has found a path across the Internet, not the least because it is the last lunation ('Syzygy Moon') prior to the November 6th Midterm Elections which are pivotal for any successful resistance to Trump's anti-democratic agenda via a Democratic blue wave or, better yet, a blue tsunami.

So perhaps you've already seen the DC Horoscope of the October 24th Full Moon (horoscope shown with details) but if you're looking for a non-political, more personal assessment, there are multiple online astrologers to oblige. Here are a three links to excellent Oct 24th Full Moon posts for your consideration and in no particular order:

Celestial Space by Depali Desai; Horoscopes for the October Full Moon in Taurus by Rachel Celeste Hansen on 2018's Hunter's Moon; and Full Moon October 2018 by Dark Star Astrology.

Now, since this is 'Stars Over Washington' let's consider potentials of the Moon-Uranus combination of energies in the realms of Politics and Business as detailed by astrologer Michael Munkasey in his book Midpoints: Unleashing the Power of the Planets but beware: some of the following may remind you of a certain individual:

Thesis: An enterprise with great insight into the needs of its people, yet one which has a very unusual way of showing care and appreciation toward its population; unconventional rulers with an emotional flair.

Antithesis: Leaders who rule at whim with little sense of how their enterprise is seen by the rest of the world; an emotionally immature person placed in an important and visible leadership role.
