Full Moon in Scorpio — the article

On May 12th at 12:56pm EDT, the Moon in 22 degrees of Scorpio opposes the Sun in 22º of Taurus. The entrance of the Moon into Scorpio on May 10th in the afternoon begins the energetic build-up towards this powerful Full Moon.

For the next two weeks, we seek the balance and integration of two polarities and are aware that something needs to be brought into alignment; the balance in question is between our physical attachments, aversions, and connections — symbolized by Taurus— and our emotional attachments, aversions, and connections (Scorpio).

Even though Eclipse season is long over, significant shifts and purges do continue.

The Moon, in passionate, all-or-nothing Scorpio, not only opposes the Sun in steady, peaceful Taurus, but also Uranus, the planet most associated with breakthroughs, innovation & change.

Ask yourself: How might I stay calm in this uncertain climate, to support my sanity?

And keep in mind while Uranus has been traveling through Taurus (May 15, 2018 — July 7, 2025 & Nov. 7th, 2025 — April 2026) we have been invited to transcend outdated mindsets around money, values, and security.

Back to the Full Moon:

This Full Moon shows us how far we have come, as well as what we might still need to release or transform, if we are to manifest what has begun at the time of the New Moon that occurred on April 27th.

Another thing to consider: Pluto, the ruler of Scorpio, went retrograde on May 4th at almost 4 degrees of Aquarius — and its Station phase will still last until May 19th, which makes this planet more exalted until then.

Check to see what has been coming up since April 22nd when it comes to facing your fears and valuing yourself and your authentic relationships with others.

Ask yourself: What inauthentic (or even toxic) relationships must I still release or transform to step into greater abundance and happiness? What fears must likewise be released or transformed?

Pluto in Aquarius in its Retrograde phase is asking us to be authentic in our interactions and look at our own motivations for connecting with people, networks, affiliations, causes, etc.

Given this, ask yourself: Am I coming from love, inclusion, and an open heart? Or am I coming from fear, separation, and wanting to fight? Or protect?

This Full Moon will most likely stimulate our emotional body and increase our awareness of unconscious patterns and fears.

We may feel more easily triggered as buried emotions, motivations, and fears surface. Please be aware of projections and jumping to conclusions.

If you are unsure whether you are projecting something on someone else, check for defensiveness, over-reactivity, or difficulty being objective while exhibiting rigid behaviors.

There are several aspects worth mentioning in this Full Moon chart:

• Pluto (the ruler of Scorpio) is currently in Aquarius — and highly exalted — squares Mercury in Taurus (exact), sextiles Neptune in Aries, and makes a wide opposition to Mars in Leo (this was at its strongest April 18-May 3rd and exact on April 26th, at the time of the last New Moon)
• Mars (the co-ruler of Scorpio), currently in Leo, tries Venus in Aries and makes a wide Square to Mercury in Taurus (making Mercury the Focus Point of a T-Square)
• Venus (the ruler of Taurus), currently in Aries, aligns with Neptune
• The Moon in Scorpio opposes the Sun-Uranus alignment in Taurus, and trines Saturn and the North Node in Pisces
• Last but not least, Saturn in a very late degree of Pisces aligns not only with the North Node in Pisces but also with Neptune in Aries and sextiles the Sun-Uranus alignment in Taurus

Again, the time of the Full Moon brings greater awareness to what was unconscious or hidden previously. This particular one invites us to let go of…

Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 20-24 degrees of Scorpio, Taurus, Leo, or Aquarius? If so, you are more affected by this month’s powerful Full Moon; the same is true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Leo or Cancer (the Sun rules Leo; the Moon rules Cancer).
