Scorpio Full Moon May 2026
Intuitive Astrology

The Scorpio Full Moon lights up our evening sky on May 1st, and is the first of two Full Moons we will experience this month.
The following Full Moon, a Blue Moon in Sagittarius, will fall at the end of the month on the 31st.
Having two Full Moons in the same calendar month indicates a season of release, letting go, and culmination.
We are being called to wrap up loose ends and bring things to completion, particularly things we have been working on since the end of last year.
If you cast your mind back to October-December 2025, what themes were stirring for you then? What was percolating for you as the year came to a close?
You may find that themes from this time come back around to be completed and closed for good. It could also be that events from this time come back into your awareness, helping you to glean deeper insights and wisdom.

The Scorpio Full Moon is a Sacred One
The Scorpio Full Moon is traditionally a sacred one that is said to thin the veil and deepen our intuitive insights. It aligns with the Wesak festival, which is celebrated in many Asian countries to honor the birth, enlightenment, and death of Buddha.
The Scorpio Full Moon is often linked to the cycles of death and rebirth, and reminds us that all that falls away, all that is lost, comes around new again.
Mother Nature mimics this in the season we are in, too. Whether we live in the Northern or Southern Hemisphere, we can see the death or rebirth of nature in action. Everything is in a constant state of regeneration, and perhaps we can find comfort in this, especially if our life circumstances have been difficult or challenging.
Perhaps you can use the vibrations of the Scorpio Full Moon to regenerate a situation in your mind and to look at things from a place of renewal. Something may have to fall away, there may need to be a letting go, but eventually something new will blossom in its place.

The Scorpio Full Moon and Power Dynamics
Power dynamics may also be on our mind under the 2026 Scorpio Full Moon, and these may be seen playing out in our intimate relationships. There is energy brewing under this Full Moon that is guiding us to find more harmony between the self and other.
How can we stay true to ourselves and be in our authentic expression, while staying in connection to another? How can we fulfill our needs while also being there for others? It is sometimes a delicate balance to navigate, but it seems the time has come to reclaim our power and reset these balances in our lives.
This relationship focus comes from both Venus and the asteroid Juno, both of which are activated under this Full Moon.
Venus activates our heart chakra, guiding us to become aware of its energetic state. Very often, we are challenged to look at how we are giving and receiving energy, and if we are upholding our values. Sometimes, in relationships, we can lose ourselves and lose sight of our perspective in our pursuit of something greater, but this Full Moon will be helping us to draw things back and to reconsider how we are choosing to exert our heart energy.
Juno’s presence touches on our feelings of independence, especially if we feel it has been lost in our relationships. Juno is the asteroid of marriage, but she also holds the message of not losing ourselves in others. She is a loyal and devoted partner, but she also knows her own worth, and she stays true to her calling.
Under this Full Moon, it may be necessary to set boundaries in our relationships, both at home and at work. We may have to put our foot down and stop extending ourselves to people who are taking advantage of us or draining our energy.

The Scorpio Full Moon and Nourishment
As we are in the Season of the Taurus Bull, the Scorpio Full Moon is often a good reminder to nourish our mind, body, and soul. How can we fill up our own cups? How can we nurture ourselves the way we long to be nurtured?
Sometimes we look to others for this type of nourishment and support, but there is a power in learning to do it for ourselves, too.
Especially if you feel that you have no one else to turn to, make it a priority to nourish your body and soothe your soul under this May Full Moon.
Ceres, the Goddess Asteroid of Grain and Harvest, is on our side under this Full Moon, and she sends waves of nourishment to help us make good choices when it comes to the food we eat, the thoughts we think, and the actions we take.
How can we be intentional and deliberate about what we are putting into our bodies and what is coming out of our bodies – especially in the way of thoughts, words, and actions?
Ceres will also support us in making healthier lifestyle decisions, so use this as an opportunity to create a positive routine that supports your overall well-being.
The cosmos is on our side and wants us to do something for ourselves. So give yourself permission to indulge, to slow down, and to nourish and nurture every cell. You deserve it!
