Scorpio full moon: 1st May 2025
Scorpio full moon | 1st May at 6.23pm | 11 degrees of Scorpio
The Scorpio full moon arrives on 1st May and it is a potent one. Not only is it the first of two full moons this month, it also falls on Beltane, the ancient cross-quarter festival marking the peak of spring. Beltane brings themes of fertility, growth, protection and love, making this a powerful moment to put creative plans into action and say yes to life.
Rise from the ashes
Scorpio, the Mystic, is deeply transformative. Ruled by Pluto, the planet of death and rebirth, this sign thrives on alchemising pain into power and rising from the ashes. Under this full moon, huge opportunities for change and transformation are available to all of us.
This is shadow work at its most illuminating. What have you been hiding from? Old patterns, old behaviours, old beliefs that are no longer meant for you are ready to fall away. Scorpio will show you where you have been promising to make the change but holding back out of fear, self-sabotaging and repeating the same cycles. This full moon brings those hidden truths into the light so you can finally heal them.
Ground yourself in Taurus energy
Scorpio does not do surface level. It goes deep, and these energies can feel intense. With the sun in Taurus, lean into Taurus qualities of grounding, self-care and coming back home to yourself to help you feel safe as you navigate what comes up.
Be mindful, too, that there are still plenty of planets in Aries at this time, bringing strong energies of action and impulsiveness. With Mars in Aries especially, watch how you react and how you speak to others. Speak your truth, but with compassion and kindness.
Full moon journaling prompts
Ask yourself: what are you ready to let go of under this full moon? Use these prompts to guide your release.
- What areas of my life need transformation right now?
- What three things do I need to release under this full moon to step into who I am here to be?
As part of your full moon ritual, take time to meditate, write those three things on a piece of paper and burn them away under the moonlight.
Happy Scorpio full moon.
