With the Moon culminating in the emotionally intense sign of Scorpio, you may find deep feelings arise about serious subjects, like life and death, mystery, secrets, and their discovery. Powerful beginnings and endings are also predicted. Meanwhile, the Sun stationed in the opposite sign, goal-oriented Taurus, may create tension by holding our collective focus on practical matters, such as accomplishment, dedication, and achievement. Though you may long for intensity and some sort of meaningful spiritual, philosophical, psychological or sexual escape right now, we also need to be sure to maintain some discipline and persistence to handle our responsibilities, even while we ponder our greater life concerns.
The Scorpio full Moon energy encourages you to be sensual, sensitive, strong and surviving. The contrast between the Sun’s position and the Moon’s placement, however, can have you feeling as if your heart’s desires have been on hold indefinitely, hanging in the balance, which can cause pressure, overwhelm, anger and frustration. You will best navigate this time in honor of water sign Scorpio by being more sensitive, careful, controlled, and mindful of staying centered now . . . and please be sure to pause and consider other people’s feelings before doing or saying something you may later come to regret. Better yet, take some time solo to regroup and reset. When you return, things are likely to be less intense.
As always, these energies apply to groups of all sizes as much as they apply to you individually. Stay mindful about navigating a new level of balance between your practical action and whatever political/social/economic theories you hold. In this sense, it is important to fully honor both doing what is right and examining why we believe what we do. And the opportunity to connect with and inform others is strongest when our beliefs are aligned with our actions.
“You do control the thoughts that follow an emotion, and you have a great deal of say in how you react to an emotion–as long as you are aware of it.”
Travis Bradberry
Scorpio moon energy is always a great time for intense meditation, amazing guided visualizations, profound prayers and sacred soul activities, deep artistic and creative exploration, as well as intimate connection and sensual expressions.
It may also be necessary to reassess your values, as issues about shared money, property and assets may arise. Contemplate what matters most to you now, and also celebrate all you have accomplished and learned recently. Stay centered and consider new ways to leverage your own value and creditworthiness . . this is a time to rethink old ideas about what you actually want and need while realizing you have more access to your desires when you collaborate with others.
Full moons are ideal for reflection, celebration and contemplation about realizing and appreciating what is working in our lives. It is also a good time for identifying anything that is less than desired to simply release and let go. Any practices that inspire assessment and emotional growth are especially powerful at this time of month. Answering timely questions is a great method to accomplish these goals.

This particular lunar phase comes with a noteworthy array of mixed aspects. These added dynamics mean extra intensity or overwhelm is in store. Calm and clarity is your best ally during these days.
ILLUMINATION
The 2022 full moon in Scorpio arrives with a powerful lunar eclipse. Eclipses emphasize and expand the energy, so everything that is true about a Scorpio full moon is exaggerated now. And lunar eclipses in particular mean that something right in front of us has been hidden from our perception. During the illumination that happens around the time of the eclipse, you may find yourself discovering some new and important insight that you had previously overlooked. These revelations tend to be in areas that are personally significant. With Scorpio involved, more likely than not, things may be revealed regarding intimate relationships, secrets, desires, and motivations.
TENSION
Avoid power struggles as the both the moody moon and the controlling Taurus Sun form stubborn squares with tyrannical Saturn in provocative Aquarius now. What does this mean for you? Difficult people and situations may pop up suddenly. Be advised that cool heads and calm approaches will rule the day.
REDEMPTION
Fortunately, with benevolent Jupiter recently entering fast-acting Aries, solutions and support can arrive quickly. And also coming through the bold sign of Aries, loving Venus links up with therapeutic Chiron to both encourage quick healing.
The moon while in Scorpio will form some excellent aspects. These all bode well to redeem the more challenging planetary energies. In the moon’s trine positions to initiator Mars and imaginative Neptune both in magical Pisces, creativity and positive envisioning are starred.
TRANSFORMATION
The Full Moon occurs shortly before it forms a favorable sextile aspect to Pluto. Pluto is about transformation and in its lengthy retrograde now, review and revisions are in order. With Pluto in the traditional success sign of Capricorn, over the next five months, it is business matters, authority, government, institutions, and traditional organizations, which are most affected.
With the Sun also embarking on a benefic trine to transformative Pluto in retrograde, expect some major results. Any efforts to create important change, especially whatever had started near the beginning of the year, is likely to come together and yield complete benefits by October.
And since Pluto rules life and death matters, spiritual matters are up for deep and powerful reflection during this period, too.
REFLECTION
Meanwhile, mental Mercury in scattered Gemini is traveling in retrograde through June 3rd. Have you been distracted with shiny object ideas or perhaps you simply keep going in circles because you can’t remember where you set down your keys? You will best utilize this period by slowing down to reflect and plan. Sure you can dream, doodle, or just let your mind wander, as Jupiter possibilities spark new ideas. Just save your big actions for AFTER the retrograde is complete. June will be a month of boosted excitement and energy.
The current pull between the Sun and Moon can instigate emotional intensity, impatience, and irritability. Should any sensitive feelings come up, find the common ground with others through awareness of the higher values of INTEGRITY, STRENGTH, and PURPOSE.The polarity between the Taurus Sun and Scorpio Moon requires negotiating where we focus our energy. Be sure to have room for exploration of abstract feelings as well as accomplishment of your practical chores now.

The 2022 Scorpio Full Moon at 25 degrees is exact on Sunday, May 15th at 9:14 pm Pacific Time, and on Monday, May 16th at 12:14 am Eastern Time.
The Scorpio Full Moon loves secrecy, sacred pursuits, personal rituals, intense and sensual experiences. It is an excellent time to contemplate who you are, and focus on how you can be more sensitive and aware.
