May Bookends: Full Moon in Scorpio (1 May) finishing with a Full Moon in Sagittarius

JOURNAL ENTRY:


What an intense packed week!

How are you tracking?

Are you ready for May?


We have a huge energetic month ahead of us.


Starting with the Full Moon  in Scorpio clocking in early tomorrow morning — 2 May 2026 — 3:23AM AEST (Sunshine Coast, Australia).


— That’s 1 May 2026 — 1:23PM EST (US Eastern Time)


+  +  

May opens and closes with Full Moons.


This is unusual/ not common. We usually have one full moon and a new moon within each month.


This is not subtle.

This is a bookended initiation month.


We enter through Scorpio — truth, power, money, shadow, sovereignty.

We exit through Sagittarius — truth expressed, embodied, lived, declared.

And in the middle —

A New Moon in Taurus  (17 May) —the moment where insight must become form.


To me, this is clear:

What has been brewing internally now requires legs.

Phase one completes — and something real is launched.


—-

Remember: You are not one sign.

You are the entire chart and zodiac.


With dominant zodiacal and luminary archetypes specific to your chart — at the very least three that dominate:

(1) your Sun  placement (your journey of articulation)

(2) your Moon  placement (this is your True Soul)

(3) and your Ascendant (this is how you present/ or come across to others).


—-

THE DIVIDE (and it’s real)


Can you feel this? There is a very distinct energetic split right now.


Those who have done the work:

* taken real accountability (between You and You!)

* faced their patterns

* cleaned up their power leaks

* gotten honest about money, worth, boundaries


This month supports execution, launch, and grounded expansion.

You won’t feel “lucky” — you’ll feel clear, decisive, and resourced.

—— AND….


Those still looping in shadow:

* victim (false) narratives

* projection

* avoidance

* blame

* un-owned wounds

 

This month will feel intense, exposing, and uncomfortable.

Because Scorpio does not negotiate with illusion.

It reveals:

* where you’ve lied to yourself

* where you give your power away

* where money, control, or fear are running the show



SCORPIO LESSONS (this Full Moon activates them fully)

—-

Scorpio  lessons for all of us — are always about:

  • Power — where you hold it, where you leak it

  • Money — your relationship to value, exchange, worth, self-worth, how you’ve structured your sovereignty setting yourself up financially** (this last one, a BIG one)

  • Truth — the one beneath the story you tell yourself

  • Boundaries — energetic and physical

  • Sovereignty — i.e. no one is coming to save you.  

    *** Newsflash: IT IS NOBODY’s JOB TO SAVE YOU.

 

 Light path: > ownership, clarity, decisive movement

 Shadow path: > exposure, collapse of illusion, emotional intensity


——

TAURUS  NEW MOON on 17 May

This is the anchor point.


Not ideas. Not vision boards.

This is - Structure. Form. Tangibility.

  • What are you building?

  • What are you committing to?

  • What has real-world legs?


This is where intention becomes material direction.


—-

SAGITTARIUS  FULL MOON  on 31 May

This is the release + declaration point.


What began internally…what was anchored mid-month…  now becomes expressed, seen, and expanded.


Truth without apology.


—-  

PRACTICAL ALIGNMENT (I suggest you keep it clean, not fluffy)


Right now — through to 3 May (peak window strongest within ~20 mins either side of exact full moon):


1. Write it down (clearly)  

* What are you actually delivering in May?

* Not vague. Specific outcomes.


2. Identify your power leaks

* Where are you avoiding?

* Where are you over-giving or undercharging?

* Where are you still outsourcing responsibility?


3. Clean your money energy   

* unpaid debts (energetic or literal)

* under-pricing

* RELEASE resentment around giving/receiving


4. Set one non-negotiable boundary

* and hold it


5. Ritual (simple, effective)

* journal your outcomes as already done

* sit in stillness and feel them as complete

* breathe it into the body (not just the mind)


Optional additions: (my personal faves/ “must haves” —

* salt bath  / ocean  immersion

* fire  release (burn old narratives) - literally. Wire, Torch it.

* early morning stillness (especially potent right now)


————

PERSONAL NOTE

I can feel this one deeply.


With Scorpio  and Sagittarius  both prominently activated in my own chart — this feels like a threshold month.


Not theoretical. Tangible. Delivered. Real.


*** NOTE: If you’re grounded, honest, and self-responsible — this is a powerful ascent.

If not — this is a necessary reckoning.

Either way — truth leads. Always.

They are, doable, clear actions that are easy to put into motion. Many of these I do passively and intuitively, but seeing them listed combined with your energy and intension, gives the bullet points added momentum. Feeling the alchemy of scorpio and taurus in my landscape from this blog post. Thank you!
