At the core of this Full Moon is a pull between two different energies. Taurus is steady and likes comfort, calm, and balance. Scorpio, on the other hand, values honesty, strong emotions, and change. This Full Moon asks us to reflect on the roles we play and how we want to belong and be seen. You might ask yourself how much your sense of self comes from outside expectations, and if your roles are really you.

Embracing vulnerability

During the Full Moon (1 May), you may feel more overwhelmed, uncertain, or in need of support. Embracing greater vulnerability and openness, small steps such as acknowledging your feelings, reaching out for support, or letting go of unnecessary pressure - can create meaningful change and transformation.

The main message of this Full Moon is that true strength does not rely solely on resilience and the display of power but also on honesty, self-awareness, and a willingness to show vulnerability to others.

This Full Moon may feel more strongly by the “fixed” signs - Scorpio, Taurus, Aquarius, and Leo. For Scorpio and Taurus, the focus falls on identity and relationships, while Aquarius and Leo are encouraged to reflect on career direction and their home, family, and inner foundations. The mutable signs - Virgo, Gemini, Sagittarius, and Pisces may experience this energy more internally, as a period of reflection and shifting perspectives. Meanwhile, Cardinal signs - Aries, Cancer, Libra, and Capricorn - are encouraged to sort out their priorities and let go of what is no longer working for them, taking action for what truly matters.

The Astrological Energies of May

May is a month of three lunations—two full moons and one new moon—making it especially unique, as there are usually only two lunations each month.

As May begins, the energy feels gentle yet transformative. Pluto, going retrograde on 6 May, encourages deep introspection and the release of old habits. Mid-month, the New Moon in Taurus on 16 May offers grounding and supports fresh intentions. The month closes with a spirited Full Moon in Sagittarius, inspiring adventure, learning, and expanded perspectives. Stay flexible—what’s meant for you will unfold in its time.

The Sign of the Month - Taurus

April 20 - May 20

Famous Taurus Quote:

“I believe in being strong even when everything seems to go wrong.”

Audrey Hepburn (b. May 4)

Taurus is the second sign of the zodiac and an Earth sign. People born under Taurus are known for being patient, reliable, efficient, and practical in their approach to life. Often called the “kings and queens” of the material world, Taureans have a strong desire for a high quality of life. This desire isn’t just about money, but about having resources that foster inner peace—such as nature walks, good company, and the simple pleasures of life. Taurus individuals are here for an important purpose: to slow down, rest when tired, eat when hungry, and live a simple, peaceful life. Since 2018, Uranus, the planet of upheaval and surprises, has been transiting Taurus. This created a roller-coaster type of astrological weather for a sign that doesn’t necessarily like the unexpected. The good news is that from 27 April, Uranus will leave Taurus and move into Gemini. This will restore calm, making Taureans feel more grounded and stronger because of the wisdom gained over the past eight years.

Astronomy corner. May Sky Events

On 1 May, the Moon is located on the opposite side of the Earth from the Sun. This Full Moon is also called the “Flower Moon” because this is the time of the year when the spring flowers come into abundance in the Northern Hemisphere.

On 16 May, the Moon will be on the same side of the Earth and will not be visible, marking a New Moon. One of the best times of the year to observe the night sky, galaxies, and star clusters.

On 31 May, the second full moon in a month is called a “Blue Moon.” This rare phenomenon occurs only once every few years; therefore, the term “once in a blue moon”.
