Full Moon in Scorpio - May 2026

Hello and welcome back for another Moon blog! The next Full Moon will be in Scorpio and exact on May 1, 2026, at 1:23 PM ET. The Moon is intense in Scorpio, so there can be some extra moodiness or misunderstandings. You may tend to keep to yourself, and things will be emotionally charged.

The Moon will loosely trine Jupiter and square Pluto. Jupiter pushes us to seek truths and find our purpose. Pluto offers opportunities to transform and excavate the dark parts of ourselves. With these influences, it can look like realizing what is holding you back and using that to overcome something or make a change in your life.

The ruler of this lunation is Mars in Aries. Mars continues to bring its fiery energy into our lives, giving us motivation, tenacity, and passion. This gives us the extra boost to do the work and explore hidden motivations and the subconscious.

Mars will also form a square with Jupiter. There might be a tendency to cut out too much, so take a look at what matters before making any final decisions. Don't turn nothing into something. A situation that is upsetting now may not matter in the long term.

Overall, this may be an emotionally volatile time. Bring some logic into emotional situations and evaluate them holistically. Don't let your temper and emotions get the best of you. Take a breath and relax before reacting.
