The Full Moon in Scorpio is all about tackling demons (Picture: Getty)

The next Full Moon is on May 5, in the sun sign of Taurus and therefore its opposing sign of Scorpio.

Full Moons always bring a pause in the month to reflect, ponder, contemplate, review, and release. More thought than action.

This Full Moon’s Scorpio vibe stirs up your innermost fears and helps you to look them full in the eye.

Expose your demons. Talk about your vulnerabilities. Express your anxiety. Name it, expel its energy, move on from it. Don’t let these things hold you back any longer.

It’s likely there are endings or full circles to be faced. Don’t worry, they only bring about new beginnings and renewal. Nothing is ever the end, it’s just the embryo of a new chapter.

Let the tarot guide you towards your fear to face this Full Moon…

Aries

March 21 to April 20

Tarot card for Aries for the Full Moon in Scorpio: The Empress

Meaning: The Empress is a Mother Nature figure, representing fertility, pregnancy, family, love, romance, and creativity. Perhaps you feel worried that you are in a cycle of lack vs growth recently, perhaps you’re envying what others have, in terms of family and love.

Aries, you are wealthy in your world. You have rich and rewarding relationships, you have a hopeful future ahead, you can bring more into your life and make changes. Look at your relationship landscape and be honest about what (or who) you really want.

Taurus

April 21 to May 21

Tarot card for Taurus for the Full Moon in Scorpio: Five of Cups

Meaning: You have been feeling a little sad very recently, maybe an echo of an old wound has surfaced and troubled you. The Five of Cups shows this wave of emotion or grief has been a surprise, and also that it won’t last for long so don’t dwell in this.

Use this Full Moon to process this wound and to heal more fully and sustainably. Understand this event in the cold light of day, accept your role in it, release the feelings stored up around it, and take a life lesson to apply to your future.

Gemini

May 22 to June 21

Got money on your mind? (Picture: Getty/Metro.co.uk)

Tarot card for Gemini for the Full Moon in Scorpio: King of Coins

Meaning: Your material goals are on your mind and you’ve been feeling the pressure about achieving them – be this related to work, money, home, or health. You feel responsible, you are taking ownership, but will it be enough?

The King of Coins suggests this is just a little wobble. You can handle all of this and, if you’re focused and purposeful, you can make your ambitions a reality.

Seek advice, research different options, make a plan, schedule your actions and dig in. You can do this.

Tarot card for Cancer for the Full Moon in Scorpio: Ace of Wands

Meaning: You know you need to turn over a new leaf in an area of your life and you’ve been wondering where to make a start.

Cancer, it’s time to just jump in and get going. Don’t wait until you feel ready or fully prepared (you never will). The Ace of Wands is a direct invitation to begin something fulfilling and inspiring.

Look at the areas of health, lifestyle, creativity, travel, and education. You can activate something in one of those areas which will renew and recalibrate your wider lust for life. Bring in a new trick!

Leo

July 24 to August 23

Be your own knight in shining armour (Picture: Getty/Metro.co.uk)

Tarot card for Leo for the Full Moon in Scorpio: The Hermit

Meaning: The penny is dropping that it’s on you now, it’s down to you, it’s all up to you. No one else is going to solve or fix this. No one is going to ride in and rescue you. Time to figure it out for yourself and put a plan into action, a solo plan.

The Hermit shows you are seeking enlightenment, a bright idea, a solution. Be mindful and meditative, do your research, think deeply and broadly. You have all that you need, you are enough.

In fact, tackling this alone will prove your worth to yourself and boost your confidence and esteem to the skies and beyond. Have faith.

Virgo

August 24 to September 23

Virgo does have a tendency to be a little judgmental (Picture: Getty/Metro.co.uk)

Tarot card for Virgo for the Full Moon in Scorpio: Judgment

Meaning: You have a tendency to watch other people very closely, sometimes judgmentally, sometimes unfairly in terms of comparing their strengths to your weaknesses.

Virgo, you realise that this is not productive. You need to focus on yourself, your own strengths, your unique characteristics. Forget what others are doing. Use all your perceptive powers to understand and amplify your own ideas, insights, and plans.

Turn the page, start a new chapter… one with you firmly in the leading role, it’s time to put yourself front and centre.

Libra

September 24 to October 23

You’re on the right track (Picture: Getty/Metro.co.uk)

Tarot card for Libra for the Full Moon in Scorpio: Four of Wands

Meaning: You want to move onwards and upwards, you want a bigger or better role, more money and rewards, a nicer, cosier, lovelier home and location to live in. You worry you aren’t making the right kind of progress to make your life goals come true.

Libra, chill. The Four of Wands shows you’re on track, nothing has been wasted because even mistakes or setbacks serve as invaluable experience and wisdom. Celebrate your story so far. Make a short term goal to fulfil to get you feeling back on track.

Scorpio

October 24 to November 22

Use that characteristic Scorpio energy to support someone in need (Picture: Getty/Metro.co.uk)

Tarot card for Scorpio for the Full Moon in Scorpio: Page of Cups

Meaning: You’ve been worrying about a young or vulnerable person in your family or circle. They are kind, loving, creative, and somehow a little fragile, a little overwhelmed by their life or situation.

Scorpio, you are strong and brave, with energy to spare. Lend them your power. The Page of Cups asks you to play a mentor/parental figure role here and help to support them through this situation.

Give advice, treat them kindly, boost their confidence, shield them from harm. This support will never be forgotten.

Sagittarius

November 23 to December 21

Don’t get lost in work and pressure (Picture: Getty/Metro.co.uk)

Tarot card for Sagittarius for the Full Moon in Scorpio: King of Wands

Meaning: You’re feeling a little thwarted or trapped, you’re annoyed about some of the restrictions or pressures that have been placed upon you recently. It’s not fair. Maybe not, but we are where we are!

Sagittarius, counter the pressures and stress with the boisterous King of Wands. Give yourself permission to play, adventure, explore, and have fun whenever and however you can. Get the balance back.

All work and no play makes you dull and miserable, so don’t let things get to that place. If you’re working super hard, then you can play super hard too!

Capricorn

December 22 to January 21

Stand up for what you feel is right (Picture: Getty/Metro.co.uk)

Tarot card for Capricorn for the Full Moon in Scorpio: The Hierophant

Meaning: You are, at heart, a fairly traditional, conventional, and conservative character. You are not known for radical rebellions or bruising challenges. You work hard to keep things going vs breaking them down.

Well, this Full Moon sees you moving the other way. You are, with the questioning Hierophant, pushing back against a structure or authority you’ve long served and believed in. You have questions. You feel differently.

Time to face into this, have some big discussions, and let your outlook shift.

Aquarius

January 22 to February 19

A spot of adventure will do you the power of good (Picture: Getty/Metro.co.uk)

Tarot card for Aquarius for the Full Moon in Scorpio: Four of Cups

Meaning: The ‘meh’ mood has moved into Aquarius town. You need lots of stimulus and excitement to feel thriving and happy and, somehow, you’ve lost some of that recently.

The Four of Cups sees you feeling a bit bored and lacklustre. This Full Moon, get that mojo back. Plan to do something white knuckle, thrilling, invigorating, enlivening and fresh! Take on a new adventure. Even just something short-term or singular, just one exciting escapade to get your blood pumping fast and hard again!

Tarot card for Pisces for the Full Moon in Scorpio: Ten of Cups

Meaning: As ever, your close/st relationship is on your mind and you’ve been worried that things have drifted off track.

The Ten of Cups asks you to have a heart to heart this Full Moon. Talk about your fears or worries. Ask for their feedback. Ask where they’re at. Listen well. Ask questions. Be compassionate, seek to walk in their shoes.

There’s nothing really wrong, you just need to reconnect and feel in synch again. Life is stressful, things push us off track. Overcome those pressures, talk it through, and tune back in again.
