Full Moon in Scorpio 5*1*26
And just like that we are in May and the Moon is Full in Scorpio. The Sun at 11 degrees of Taurus shines on the Moon at 11 degrees of Scorpio. While there are still 5 heavenly bodies in Aries, (Neptune, Saturn, Mars, Mercury and Chiron) the temperature has decreased a bit compared to April's New Moon with 7 planets in Aries. Still, this Full Moon is not exactly placid, despite the Taurus Sun.
The Taurus - Scorpio axis deals with security and resources. Taurus is the fixed earth sign. It takes what was started in Aries (cardinal fire) and builds something practical and usable. Aries inspires. Taurus does the unglamourous but important work of making the inspiration real. Taurus gathers resources and develops them. As the most physically oriented sign, Taurus processes life through the body. Experiences must feel good, must be soothing and pleasurable. Taurus is here to savor. The Bull does not do well when rushed. Taurus energy appreciates comfort, stability, and predictability.
The Sun in Taurus shines the light on what you need to feel stable and secure. Because it's an earth sign, we are dealing with tangibles. What are the things that you use for touchpoints in your day? How do you bring comfort into your space? Is your food delicious as well as nourishing? How do your clothes feel? Taurus energy deals with your values, your resources, your finances, your talents; things that are yours. Some you might have earned with your efforts, some you acquired, some you were born with. Regardless, these are the things you bring to the table. How do you use them and how do you chose to develop them? This is a good time to inventory all your resources - not just your financial ones. Are you using them appropriately? What are your 3 core values and how do you demonstrate them?
Uranus, the planet of disruption, just completed its 7 year transit through Taurus and moved into Gemini on April 26. Since 2018, what has changed for you about your values and how you demonstrate them? How about the way you earn your money and what you do with it? Uranus doesn't cause upheavals just because. It always always works to show you what is keeping you stuck in an old pattern that you have outgrown. As it moved through Taurus, Uranus wanted to show each of us the limits that we accepted in the name of security. It challenged our comfort and brought opportunities to reconsider what security truly meant to each of us and how we created it for ourselves. Uranus through Taurus challenged us each to redefine what mattered to us. Most of April was spent shaking us free of the remnants of the realizations of the past 7 years. Now it is in Gemini where it will disrupt the way we express ourselves and access information. That is for another post. The point here is that this Full Moon is the first one in which Uranus is not in Taurus since 2018. Consider how your perspective about what you need to feel comfortable and safe has shifted.
On the opposite end of the axis, Moon in Scorpio is receiving the light of the Sun. Scorpio is also concerned with resources, but they are not solely ours. They are ones that are shared with important others. Scorpio, the fixed water sign, deals with how we make intimate connections. Taurus deals with physical security; Scorpio deals with emotional security. Taurus feels things in the body. Scorpio feels things in the soul. This axis requires balancing of what I bring into the relationship, what I am responsible for, what I need to feel comfortable (Taurus) and what is best for us, what responsibilities we have towards each other and our relationship; how to trust each other, to be willing to reveal our innermost selves and risk being vulnerable in order to truly know each other (Scorpio).
The Scorpio New Moon of 11/20/25 landed at 28 degrees of Scorpio, the end of the sign. Did you notice a pattern of behavior in your close relationships that you originally developed as protection, but now realize it was keeping you defensive and separated? How did you confuse control with safety? The recent stellium of planets in Aries seeded courage within all of us. There are still 5 planets in Aries so the cardinal fire influence remains active. Be brave when confronting those tender spaces within yourself and when you see them in others but temper any Aries impatience with the more measured, deliberate Taurus approach.
Remember that the New Moon in Aries on April 17 was conjunct Chiron. (Check the previous post if you want a refresher on it). Something came into awareness at that time about the wound of being acceptable as yourself; being deemed too much or not enough or just not ok. Now, under the light of this Full Moon, Mercury in Aries is exactly conjuncting Chiron. Mercury is giving this wound a voice. How you use this voice is up to you. At its higher expression, you recognize how you have edited yourself in response to this wound and are able to come to terms with your past behaviors. You see all the versions of you that tried to create safety by playing small and denying yourself in order to be more palatable to others. The point is not to judge yourself, but instead recognize how these versions were fulfilling a perceived need. Now you take a different perspective and choose to transform these versions into one that appreciates and honors your unique individuality and inherent worth. You embody your whole authentic self. You fulfill the real need.
Alternatively, you can choose to allow the wound of unacceptability and being judged to speak for you and project your anger, frustration, and disappointment. You can blame, argue, deflect, deny, and hide from the reality you are being shown. You can allow yourself to be triggered, reacting and amplifying your wound. Will you speak from the wound or from the wisdom gained from seeing the wound clearly? The choice is yours as always.
This Full Moon comes with an opportunity to resolve something that has been rubbing a sore spot for a very long time. This is not something that you will outhink or outstrategize. Instead, lean into what you value, what you want, and how you build connection. It requires allowing your heart to guide you. It might be a new way of being, but it is the only way to move forward under this light.
"Within ourselves there are voices that provide us with all the answers that we need to heal our deepest wounds, to transcend our limitations, to overcome our obstacles or challenges, and to see where our soul is longing to go."
