The first of the two Full Moons in May 2026 arrives on the 1st, in the sign of Scorpio. This is also the date of Beltane, an ancient Celtic fire festival. The festivalās symbolic bonfires mark a transition, a new phase.
Scorpio energy can feel intense; it wants to go deeper in order to understand, transform and move on something stronger and new. We might feel more strongly that change is good and we donāt have to stay the same.
Veils are lifted in relationships and in ourselves. Intuition is sharper and sensitivity is heightened. We are invited to contemplate deeply where we have given up our power? And what should we release in order to regain it?
We may feel torn between the tangible, the sensual, the safe and a hunger for change. There is tension between constancy and transformation.
We may feel a greater need for connection with others. Itās a good time for an honest conversation that has perhaps been put off for too long.
The communication may hurt but ultimately heals. Itās about telling the truth now, even if it feels uncomfortable.
This is not a cosy comforting Full Moon, the sting in its tail is demanding and probing. However, the pressure will ease. We should avoid impulsive decisions, during this time of intense emotions. Pausing for a day or two will be wise. Full Moons are not a starting signal, like the New Moon, they are a conclusion. These mantras may be helpful:
* "I release what no longer serves me. I choose peace."
* "I honour my feelings and trust my inner wisdom."
* "I am allowed to grow. I am allowed to expand. I am allowed to thrive."
