Full Moon in Scorpio: May 1, 2026
Any Full Moon in Scorpio will often be labeled “intense”, and generally, that will always be a correct description for a Scorpio Full Moon.
The Moon in Scorpio will always be unafraid to look at the shadow, the taboo, or subject matter we might want to avoid. The Moon is in her Fall in Scorpio. What does that mean exactly?
The planets have their preferred signs they like to be in. The Moon likes to be cozy and comfortable. In Scorpio, the Moon trades being comfortable and content for emotional depth and powerful insight. So while she is not necessarily bringing the most nurturing vibes to the party, she invites you to get comfortable with your shadow.
Like any Full Moon, this can bring a sense of culmination, completion, or a heightening of activity. It can also illuminate something in your life that was previously hidden.
The Moon in Scorpio is also about deep release. It can bring up things to be purged or cleansed. It also can bring about clear emotional truth.
As the Moon is trine Jupiter this Full Moon, this lunation can help you see the big-picture truth on something, as well as generally offer wisdom. Jupiter is the greater benefic of the zodiac, so after the clearing and purging, there is a sense of “its going to be okay” with this Full Moon.
Ruled by Mars in Aries, the planet of war in the sign of the warrior, this Full Moon can clear what is in the way and then help you decide on a plan of action. On the other hand, it can also help give you permission to simply say NO to something that doesn’t feel right. Mars doesn’t ask for permission, and we will be tapping into that feisty, fiery energy.

New Moon + Mars in Aries
This is a particularly intense New Moon. In Aries, the pioneering first sign of the zodiac, it does have a supercharged new beginnings quality to it, especially for the Aries part of your chart.
This is especially because Mars, the ruler of Aries, the planet of action, fire, and passion, is in its own sign of Aries. Mars being in this sign indicates its time to take initiative, move forward, and do something that is out of your comfort zone.
Mars will be conjunct Saturn during this New Moon, however, and themes around blockages, delays, and restrictions could pop up around this time. This could also represent a sense of dialing something in, or setting a personal boundary, as Saturn represents boundaries, maturity, and lessons.
Bottom line, persistence and seeing something through will be rewarded. This New Moon promotes courage, initiation, and putting yourself out of your comfort zone so you can grow.
The Aries part of your chart will be especially active, and you may feel a sense of new beginnings happening, even if it’s taking a bit longer to sprout due to Saturn.

New Moon in Pisces + Mercury Direct
The New Moon in Pisces is a dreamy, refreshing reset. Imagine if you hadn’t showered for days, and this Pisces energy is like a steamy, refreshing shower or bath. It feels like this energy is perfect for cleansing and clearing away the residue of this chaotic past few weeks with eclipses and Mercury Retrograde.
New Moons are always times for beginnings (more on that in a minute) but consider the few days around the New Moon to rest, clear, and reset. As the light of the moon is dim we might be prone to just chill out a little bit and take a much needed breath.
This New Moon does feel like a very strong New Beginnings moon. Not every New Moon is created equally, and this has soome pretty spectactular Astrology that signals that it is a great time to begin moving forward. This lunation is ruled by Jupiter, planet of growth and optimism, and Jupiter is in Cancer. Jupiter happens to be exalted in the sign of Cancer, which means it has extra ability to expand and bring blessings in sign.
The New Moon also is exactly sextile Uranus, planet of revolution and authenticity. This energy suggests that you might make a pivot of some kind or step boldly into a new direction that is a bit unconventional, but that is in alignment with your true self-expression. This energy is helpful if you’ve been feeling stuck in a rut.

Solar Eclipse in Aquarius, Saturn in Aries Horoscopes
Eclipse season is officially here, and there are some other major Astrological events that are tied into this energy. We also have a Mercury Retrograde coming up on February 26th in the sign of Pisces, too. (Yay!! -sarcasm-)
The Solar Eclipse in Aquarius is occurring now as I write this newsletter. As I mentioned above, this eclipse is a super-potent New Moon, the first of several eclipses in this sign stretching to the beginning of 2028.
This eclipse has a “new beginnings” feel to it, as it is also technically a New Moon and it is occurring near the North Node. Keep in mind also eclipses are like skipping stones in a body of water. As it hits the water it ripples out for a long time. An eclipse at the time may not feel like a big deal, but it represents a seed that sprouts over time.
This eclipse is making a very loud square to Uranus, the great awakener, the planet of change and disruption.
This energy can certainly reveal a surprise twist or surprise you didn’t see coming, especially if you have significant placements in the late degrees of Taurus, Scorpio, Leo, and especially Aquarius. On the world stage, it speaks to surprises, sudden information drops, and world leaders (especially the U.S. President) encountering surprise challenges from the people they govern. Trump’s chart is hit pretty exactly by this eclipse and I’m wondering if we are going to start hearing of some challenges he is experiencing, especially connected to his health. Keep in mind this will unfold over the next 6 months and not necessarily immediately.
Additionally, this eclipse hits the chart of the USA’s Moon. The Moon in mundane Astrology represents the common people. I feel like this is the start of major disruption and change - as if the people are unhappy and will be making their voices heard.
Saturn in Aries, Saturn Conjunct Neptune:
Saturn, planet of time, karma, lessons, and structures has entered Aries on February 13 where it will remain until April 2028.
Saturn represents elders, hard-won wisdom, and tradition. Aries represents beginnings, pioneering, and independence and is not known for its patience.
This is the time to embrace doing your own thing, creating your own lane, and blazing your own trail. Also - given that Saturn can struggle in the sign of Aries also indicates we will need to learn to be patient and watch our impulse while Saturn in in this independent, pioneering sign.
In the collective, we may see old-world structures and institutions struggle and fail during this time as well. Saturn technically struggles in the sign of Aries as the two energies are generally mis-matched. The structures we are used to relying on are going to go through a big reset in the next several years. Education, banking, the way we run the world is reaching a crisis point.
This is because Saturn is approaching a conjunction with Neptune, planet of higher consciousness and vision later this month on February 20th. Neptune dissolves what it touches. This conjunction happens every 36 years. This conjunction was active in 1989. In November 1989, the Berlin Wall fell and we entered into an unexpected, completely new period of foreign policy and trade. I expect something of similar magnitiude and even more, as this conjunction is happening at 0 Degrees Aries, the first degree of the zodiac. Something entirely new is going to be born, and so this new beginning may feel like some major shocking endings taking place this year.
As this eclipse is ruled by Saturn, this represents that on some level we are entering a portal into something completely new. But for these new things to be born, there are some things that will transition and fall away first.
So, while this eclipse personally can mean new beginnings, don’t be discouraged if it’s not showing up like that at first. Sometimes beginnings can look like endings at first, or simply it can feel confusing!
Lastly, get lots of rest and stay hydrated during this eclipse energy. Solar Eclipses are notorious for feeling draining.
