Where were you last November, and where are you now?
In this article, we will explore the meaning of the Full Moon in Scorpio, so you can better understand how it relates to you and you processes.
Feel free to skip ahead to each section:
What Is Scorpio?
Scorpio is raw truth, the real motivations that lie beneath the smiling surfaces and social pleasantries that are not visible in broad daylight, even to our own selves.
Whether you are a Scorpio or not, you have a shadow side. There is a part of you that no one knows about, where your deepest secrets, fears and painful memories hide in the crevices of your psyche, trying to not disturb your life (but doing it anyway).
This conglomerate is most of the time hidden from our awake mind because it can be intense and hard to live with constantly (we need breaks: naps, snacks, "Taurus" things). We only access these layers in raw conversations, whether with a therapist or with a very close friend, and only when we really need to deal with it.
Full Moon in Scorpio: Deep Insights Ripen
This Full Moon in Scorpio illuminates the shadow side of us in order to help us feel and process layers we may have not looked at yet.
The beauty of Scorpio is that intense "negative" emotions - such as fear, grief, anxiety or jealousy - usually hide our brightest soul gems: passion, power, and purpose can emerge and nourish our life in potent ways.
During Full Moons, emotions can reach a point of acuteness that helps us have greater intuitive/instinctual clarity about where we are, and what can we leave behind.
It’s an opportunity to empower ourselves and to deepen our authenticity.
Mars in Leo "Roaring Warrior" & Venus in Aries "Self Worth Empress"
Mars in Leo + Venus in Aries, both having recently finished their retrogrades, bring a sort of audacity and expressiveness that is real and unfiltered to this Scorpio Full Moon.
Mars is our drive and motivation, our physical energy, our decisive motor. Mars is currently in the creative fire sign Leo, and completely done his retrograde process which involved the refining of our direction in life.
During the Full Moon, Mars in Leo is friendly chatting (trine aspect) with Venus in Aries.
The "cosmic lovers", rulers of this Taurus season (Venus) and this Full Moon in Scorpio (Mars), are in agreeance at least on this one topic: we know better what we want and who we are by now… so it’s time to make some moves.
All the month of May, Venus is in Aries: excited, but a bit frazzled by the independent and fast paced energy of Aries, and also kinda tired and stressed out. But remember: between 2025 and 2026 we are in the final steps of the years long stay of Uranus in Venus’ sign: Taurus (2018-2026).
The Aries energy is bringing a clarity of direction to all things Venus: our sense of self worth meets aligned action.
What else is happening in this Full Moon in Scorpio?
Pluto Retrograde and Neptune in Aries
Pluto, the ruler of this Full Moon, is recently retrograde, enhancing its connection with Neptune
Neptune, the planet of our powerful imagination and subtle perception is newly in Aries
Let's take a better look at this situation!
In a similar way to Mars, Pluto is an inner flame, that moves us from very deep within. It's no surprise that both Mars and Pluto are rulers of Scorpio.
Neptune is more like a portal that blurs reality, opening a gateway for dreams, visions and imaginations of all kinds to be a part of our life, many times called "spiritual experiences."
The two planets are in a connection that has lasted - and still continues to last - for a very, very long time (literally almost 100 years).
The reason I bring it up now is because their conversation is tightening and happening in totally new territories for both:
Pluto in Aquarius, now retrograde, is reflecting deeper on the very recently explored new collective themes: AI, technology and science, the new/undefined frontiers of humanity, the collective rage against human basic rights and freedoms violations, the stirring up of social movements.
Neptune in Aries is creating a new dream, a new set of ideals to admire, a collective feeling of "sparkliness" in life, or a "spiciness" in the air, an admiration for courage and brave action, fighting for, and “charging towards” courageously.
Pluto & Mercury the "Messenger" in the Full Moon in Scorpio
Pluto is the fire that burns subconscious debris created by thoughts and feelings that were hiding deeper truths.
Pluto is powerful, in a nuclear way. When we open a shut door in our minds, sometimes we will find that the reason we were scared to open it was because of the power this part of our psyche contains.
With Mercury in tension with Pluto during this Full Moon (square aspect), questions come to surface and we may find ourselves challenged by them.
Mercury creates a bridge between the hidden material (Pluto) and our awake mind. Because of the Taurus energy that Mercury is in now, the deep questions may be very concrete and challenge our comfort and peace.
A few more questions for the brave out there:
How peaceful is your personal peace... if collectively we are being heavily challenged by social, environmental, technological, political, deadly crises?
How can you individually contribute to the growth of our current humanity and her immense challenges?
How much value can your words and thoughts provide to our communal growth?
Uranus Awakenings during the Full Moon in Scorpio
This Full Moon is showing the results of years of experimentation and liberation around our sense of self worth. It's illuminating how we feel about freeing ourselves from old paradigms, and own our true value.
Uranus is not only with the Sun in this Full Moon, but also in a very prolific connection to Saturn, allowing collaboration between the new and old paradigms to give shape to the vision that has been being held for years.

Putting it all together
What is coming to fruition now can be traced back to November 1st last year, when we had the New Moon in Scorpio.
The heart is much clearer than months ago. The moment we are in now is after weeks and months of reflection around what we want, what we value, and how we are framing all of this mentally and communicating it.
Underneath, there is a tectonic sort of movement happening. We may have sorted things out on the outside, but now something is shaking the in the underground, moving the roots, connecting us to the core” why” of everything.
Mercury is there to offer a bridge between the underworld insights (Pluto) and our awake minds (Mercury), so that we integrate this fuel into our decisions from now on.
Overall, the planetary conversation is excitedly moving forward.
Courage and decisiveness is key.
Authenticity and honesty with oneself is key. And so is kindness and acceptance.
This Full Moon is a howling moment: the steps are being taken, the truth is being seen, the decisions are being made. The challenge lies in being real with ourselves and not letting the small stuff stop us. Being congruent with what we have learned really matters to us.
