A Full Moon in Scorpio Igniting Passion and Attachments — Horoscopes for All 12 Signs

Hey everyone. This is Adam Elenbaas from Nightlight Astrology [https://nightlightastrology.com/].

Today we're going to take a look at the Full Moon in Scorpio that's coming through.
This is a Full Moon in Scorpio ruled by Mars in Aries at the moment, and that Mars in Aries is also moving into a square with Jupiter in Cancer.
So we're going to look at some of those subtle dynamics behind the Full Moon in Scorpio.
I'll give you some horoscopes based on the axis of Taurus and Scorpio.

We're looking through the lens of the ancient purusharthas today, which gives a deep sense of what's working beneath the surface metaphysically and philosophically within this full moon.
I hope that will be useful and interesting for everyone.
Tomorrow we'll have horoscope breakdowns for the month of May.
So today we focus on the full moon, even though it's coming through tomorrow.
That's our agenda.

Let's turn our attention to the charts for the day and see what's going on.
First, we need the epic pen.
Here we can see that as I'm making this today, we're watching on Thursday.
I'll go back a day.
As you're listening, the moon may still be in Libra, but it's about to enter Scorpio by tomorrow, Friday, May 1.
That's when we have May horoscopes and a full moon day.

What you'll notice is that the full moon is in Scorpio, meaning it's exactly opposite the Taurus-Scorpio axis.
Today we'll talk about this full moon and give you five things to watch for over the weekend, today into tomorrow.
Then I'll do horoscopes given the axis.
For example, if this chart were Gemini rising, the full moon is across the Taurus-Scorpio axis, houses six and twelve.
That's an Artha and Moksha axis.

We'll talk about what that means philosophically and how you can notice things coming up around the philosophical meanings of the houses.
Those meanings are the underlying foundation of all the topics we associate with each house.
One more thing: this Full Moon in Scorpio is hosted by Mars in Aries.
Over the weekend, Mars moves into a square with Jupiter in Cancer, within that three-degree engagement range.
That will subtly tone my list of five things to watch for today.

I want to unpack some of that dynamic for us.
It's not just a Full Moon in Scorpio; it's a Full Moon in Scorpio hosted by Mars squaring Jupiter in Cancer.
Here's my list of five things to watch for, applicable today, tomorrow, and over the weekend of May 1, 2, and 3 in the wake of the full moon.

First, a Full Moon in Scorpio can bring emotional extremes.
Every popular astrology write-up uses words like intensity, catharsis, and deep emotional truths erupting to the surface.
Watch for impassioned, powerful, dynamic energy manifesting as extreme emotion seeking expression or release.
That can be desire, anger, hurt, or grief.
It's the feeling that this has to come up or it's becoming overwhelming.

Remember the ruler is Mars in Aries squaring Jupiter in Cancer.
So we also have a dynamic between Mars and Jupiter that can act on powerful emotions and emotional attachments.
That could create some pretty amazing breakthroughs driven by action and emotion.
Watch for that in the background.

Second on my list is exaggeration.
Mars squaring Jupiter as the host of the Full Moon in Scorpio can mean big, inflated actions, emotions, and feelings surfacing in very dramatic ways.
Things may be bigger, bolder, faster, more impulsive, or more reckless than they need to be because of a tendency for exaggeration.
Over-promising, emotional overreactions being justified, or protectiveness turning into control are things to watch for too.

Third is the risk of acting impulsively.
Mars in Aries really wants to act on something behind this full moon.
The question is whether the risk is worth taking.
Mars in Aries may want to resolve or act on something immediately.
If you have a desire, the temptation to act in big, dramatic, fast ways can occur.
If you've been sitting on your hands, this may help.
But without understanding hidden motivations or consequences, especially with destructive desires, be careful.

Scorpio processes things slowly and deeply, but when it's ready to blow, it's ready to blow.
Be careful how quickly something comes to a head and how you let it out.
Some of this we don't control, but if there's space to sit, breathe, and reflect, take it.

Fourth is support and receptivity.
Jupiter is an exalted planet, like the bosom of the Great Mother, there to hold us and provide tenderness and nourishment.
The Full Moon in Scorpio has Jupiter in the moon sign, with the moon in its fall in Scorpio trining Jupiter.
That feels like when we fall on hard times and draw from community and friends like family.

This is a time when something may call us together with other people for the sake of mourning, grieving, processing, or releasing.
Support is available, but it requires vulnerability and receptivity.
Family, close bonds, intense processing of loss within tight-knit spaces, communities experiencing loss together, families encountering transitions of loved ones.
These things may come up.

Fifth is the big Scorpio full moon push of purging and protecting.
What's worth keeping, and what are we asked to let go of?
Scorpio brings up the question of attachments.
It's normal to be attached, but all spiritual traditions prescribe relinquishing attachments that perpetuate illusion and cause suffering.
The Scorpio Full Moon can be about relinquishing attachments.

Sometimes the only way to relinquish an unhealthy desire is to fully satiate it and then realize it was a bad choice.
What are we holding onto out of emotional attachment versus genuine necessity?
Strategic release, purging, and safeguarding things that need protecting come to mind for this full moon.

Now let's get into the purusharthas.
I'll illustrate what this axis looks like using the chart.
We'll go through the rising signs.
You can listen for your sun or rising; it doesn't matter.

If you are an Aries rising, the sun and moon are across the second and eighth houses, with the full moon in Scorpio in the eighth, a Moksha house meaning release and surrender.
That takes place around shared resources and emotional entanglements.
The sun in the second is an Artha house, about stability, material income, and well-being.
Themes here are letting go of attachments to material things against emotional and karmic entanglements coming to a head.

If you're a Taurus rising, the focus is the full moon in Scorpio in the seventh house of Kama, while the sun in Taurus is in the first house of Dharma.
Dharma in the first house is about duty, selfhood, authenticity, and what feels true about yourself.
The seventh house is passion, desire, and pleasure in intimate relationships.
These press against each other as something blossoms in love, sex, marriage, and desire.

For Geminis, we look at the twelfth and sixth houses.
Moksha in the twelfth and Artha in the sixth.
Both are difficult places of spiritual, mental, and emotional crisis.
The full moon in the sixth house sheds light on work, health, duties, service, and hardships.
The sun in the eleventh is a Moksha house about release from the body and reincarnation.
What you meet now has profound material consequences tied to a bigger spiritual picture.

For Cancers, look at the eleventh and fifth houses.
The sun in Taurus in the eleventh is a Kama house about social pleasure and happiness.
The full moon in Scorpio in the fifth is a Dharma house about authentic pleasure from creativity and selfhood.
There's emphasis on the fifth house of children, pleasure, and intimacy, and the eleventh house of groups and community.
These are pitted against each other to help you see your creative essence versus social belonging.

For Leos, we look at the tenth and fourth houses.
The tenth house is Artha, and the fourth house is Moksha.
Moksha in the fourth has to do with home, family, karma, living environment, peace, and emotional safety.
Dynamic changes there are pitted against worldly definitions of success, vocation, rank, and notoriety.
These two are in intense dialogue.

For Virgos, we have the ninth and third houses.
The third house is Kama, about pleasure from our internal psychological atmosphere and immediate interactions.
Virgos are going through powerful catharsis around this while tension pulls from the sun in the ninth house of higher things.
This axis asks how happy and comfortable you feel mentally while higher things pull you in another direction.

For Libras, we have the second and eighth house axis again, but flipped.
Moksha and Artha, with emphasis on Artha around material things, assets, resources, and security.
Big changes happen there as the sun in the eighth house pulls.
This could mean letting go of resources shared with others or family dynamics.
Remember Jupiter in Cancer is up in the tenth house for Libras.

For Scorpios, the first and seventh houses are emphasized, Dharma and Kama.
The first house for Scorpios is about selfhood, purging physically, emotionally, and psychologically.
Who am I? What is real about me that I must stay true to? Oppositional tension pulls from the space of Kama, meaning happiness and connection with other living beings.

For Sagittarians, the sixth and twelfth houses are emphasized, places of transformation and little crises.
The sixth house sun is chipping away at material things through service and sacrifice.
The twelfth house moon works on relinquishment of bigger, universal things.
There's a pull to surrender to something outside normal control, with material suffering connected intimately to an otherworldly reality.

For Capricorns, the Scorpio moon in the eleventh house, a Kama house, versus the sun in the fifth, a Dharma house.
Dharma pushes you toward creative self-expression and joy from your own creative nature.
The full moon in the eleventh asks you to purge or transform things around communal involvements and socially defined happiness.
Something transforms in that collective space.

For Aquarians, the full moon in the tenth, Artha, versus the sun in the fourth, Moksha.
Transformation happens in the workplace, material world, and professional success.
Something powerful transforms publicly in that space.
Meanwhile, the sun in the fourth house pushes toward home and family.
Major events around home and family are transforming a public space or forcing a more intense dialogue.

For Pisceans, the full moon in Scorpio in the ninth house of Dharma, about what is real in a big way, and the third house of your immediate psychological environment.
The pull is toward larger philosophical or spiritual changes that help you understand what is real, while also attending to what feels stable within your own body and mind.
Dharma versus Kama: the pleasure of who we are immediately must align with transformations affecting our sense of absolute reality.

I hope all of this proves useful for you.
That is always my goal.
Stick around if you feel astrology is moving beyond curiosity and becoming one of your spiritual languages.
If that's you, you can benefit from studying in a structured environment with a curriculum, lineage, and strong community.

We've been doing this for nearly seventeen years with thousands of students.
Stick around as I tell you about the Year One program that starts in June with flexible pricing and an early bird sale available now.
Otherwise, I hope you're having a good day.
We'll see you tomorrow for the May horoscopes.
Bye.
