Scorpio Full Moon May 2026

Scorpio Full Moon

Today's Full Moon takes place at 1:23pm EDT in the 12th degree of the Fixed Water sign Scorpio. The theme here is deep emotional connection to our soul's purpose and how we relate to others for more meaning in our lives. As always, Full Moons are highlighted by the Sun in the opposite sign, in this case, it's the Fixed Earth sign Taurus, putting your personal values into what gives you a significant union for the good of all involved.

Shared resources, co-creation, death and transformation all fall into Scorpio's watery realm. Pay your taxes and your local government will pave the roads and plow them when needed. In business partnerships, you each put in what you have to offer for the enterprise to be successful. For example, investments of time, energy, resources and/or experience may be in varying amounts, but together they build a strong alliance.

Scorpio is also the sign of sexuality and as such has rulership over procreation. While death can refer to the actual process of the end of life, it also relates to the transformations one undergoes during life's journey, such as the end of the single life and the beginning of a family through parenthood. We don't do any of this life alone and Scorpio brings up the strongest feelings that lead to deep and lasting bonds.

Both the Sun and Moon make a tension-filled square aspect to Scorpio's Ruler Pluto, which has the ability to break through intensity and drama. There are other aspects in the above chart to support a more meaningful long-term outcome of cooperation and transformative change for the better, the most significant being the Moon's trine to Jupiter in Cancer around issues of caring and compassion.

While looking to the stars and walking firmly on Mother Earth, remember to listen to your conscience and your heart.
