Full Moon in Scorpio, May 2026 | Lunar Notes

May 1: 10:23 AM PDT  (12º Scorpio-Taurus)

This Full Moon, something wants to be clarified — most likely it’s related to your soulful intent.

How do you want to show up in your life and relationships?

What has been in your way? This Full Moon can bring light to that which is hidden, if you allow it.

With Mercury conjoining Chiron in Aries — and Pluto squaring this Full Moon — we are asked to reflect, namely on ourselves. There is something we cannot yet see, and during the coming period of Pluto’s retrograde through October, a new vision for our personal and collective future will be in gestation. For now, allow what is felt to emerge.

You may experience a deep instinct for what is true for you. Take the opportunity to simply be with the depth of whatever emerges, drawing inspiration from Taurean embodiment and Scorpio’s link into the deep emotional and unconscious waters of experience. We really do need to heed Aries’ influence. This lunar cycle began with a major stellium in Aries, ushering in a new chapter in all of our lives.

What can be released now? Or at least — what truth calls to you from your deepest being?

It will come as a gut instinct — this is Scorpio, after all. Whatever it is can help secure the link between what is wildly authentic for you and the world to come. Chiron ensures we do this with care and consideration for our impact, and Lilith in Sagittarius beckons us to get on with what’s true and of most benefit.

Self-deception won’t hold, and you may need to take a risk. Stay with your emerging experience, and allow this Full Moon to illuminate and bless your physical being, your loved ones, and our shared Earth.

May this Full Moon awaken that which is hidden, so that our desires and longings can transform and liberate what has become stagnant or a cause of suffering. Trust desire, and feel the space around you, merging with the sensuality of the physical body.

May this Full Moon hint at whatever personal or collective insight can awaken a deeper sense of trust, and a kind form of personal responsibility that can welcome the next chapter of our lives with presence and mischievous delight (hello Venus in Gemini!).
