May 2026 Scorpio Horoscope

Spotlight on Scorpio: May opens with a brilliant Full Moon in Scorpio on May 1–2, your very own annual full moon, and it’s nothing short of transformational. This is your moment of personal harvest – think back to your birthday season intentions from late 2025, because some of those wishes are ripening now. Under this potent moonlight, you could experience a profound realization about your identity or a project dear to your heart. It’s a time of culmination: perhaps you finally launch that passion project, hit a personal milestone, or simply see yourself with clearer eyes. Others are noticing you too; don’t be surprised if you receive recognition or praise around this date. The energy can be emotional (full moons often are), and in your sign, it cuts to the core. You might shed a tear of joy, release an old pain, or have a heart-to-heart conversation that’s been a long time coming. Embrace these feelings – they’re cleansing and cathartic. This full moon invites you to step into your power more fully. If part of you has been hiding or holding back (maybe out of fear or old insecurity), that part is ready to emerge now, radiant and unapologetic.

Glam Love & Social Buzz: All month long, the goddess of love, Venus, is dancing through Gemini (from May 9 onward), which spices up your intimate sector. Venus in Gemini typically brings flirty, lighthearted fun, but in this deep part of your chart, it’s adding playful curiosity to your deeper connections. You and a partner might explore new facets of intimacy – emotionally and physically. Communication is key: pillow talk, sharing secrets, even swapping books or music you love can create arousing mental intimacy that heightens the physical. Single? You could find yourself attracted to someone with a razor-sharp wit or twin interests (perhaps literally a Gemini!). A meeting of minds might quickly start to feel like fate. There’s also a financial glow: Venus here can attract resources. Some Scorpios might receive a bonus, tax refund, or gift this month – a little cosmic cash influx that feels like a reward. Consider investing some of it in you. A luxury purchase or spa day could be in order (guilt-free), because treating yourself reverently now aligns with Venus’s message that you deserve the best.

A New Relationship Chapter: The New Moon in Taurus on May 17 brings focus to partnerships. Taurus is your opposite sign, and this new moon is like planting a seed in the soil of one-on-one relationships. For some Scorpios, this could manifest as new love – a significant encounter or the decision to start a committed relationship. Already attached? You and your beloved might embark on a new phase: moving in, getting engaged, or simply renewing your bond with fresh vows to each other. If your relationship weathered any storms earlier in the year, this new moon offers a calm port and the chance to chart a course together for the future. Professionally, Taurus new moon could also be about partnerships in business. You might sign a contract with a new client, find the perfect business partner, or hire that assistant who changes everything. Taurus’s influence is steady and trustworthy, so whatever alliances form now have great potential for lasting stability and mutual benefit. Make sure any agreements honor your value – this is not a time to sell yourself short. Hold out for relationships (romantic or business) that celebrate your worth.

Money Moves: The end of May carries a different tone as we approach a second full moon on May 31, this time in Sagittarius. This illuminates your earnings and resources sector. Two full moons in one month means May comes in and goes out with a bang, and this Sagittarius moon could bring a financial matter to fruition. Perhaps you pay off a debt (what a relief!), finalize a big purchase like a car or home, or receive news about a raise. It’s a “know your worth” moment. If you realize you haven’t been compensated fairly, this lunation might push you to act – maybe negotiating a higher salary or adjusting your rates if you’re self-employed. Because Sagittarius loves freedom, you might also decide to budget for more experiences (like travel) rather than material things, aligning your spending with your values. Feeling financially pinched? This full moon can spark ideas for new income streams or encourage you to break free of an old financial habit that’s holding you back. It’s time to align your financial picture with the abundant mindset you’ve been cultivating.

Mars Heats Partnerships: Action planet Mars spends the first half of May in Aries, keeping your work-and-wellness momentum going strong from last month. But around May 12, Mars marches into Taurus, your partnership zone, joining forces with Jupiter which has recently also moved into Taurus (more on Jupiter in a moment). Mars in your relationship sector through June means partnerships are lively and perhaps a bit fiery. You might find you and a partner are extra busy tackling things together – from home projects to travel plans – and that can actually strengthen your bond through teamwork. On the flip side, Mars can stir up conflict if underlying issues exist. Should a disagreement arise, try to approach it as a problem to solve together rather than you vs. them. The reward for doing so? Increased passion. Mars here can seriously turn up the heat between you and a significant other. The make-up moments could far outweigh any spats, if you channel that energy constructively. Single Scorpios might actively pursue someone intriguing now, or feel more bold about putting themselves out there. Confidence is attractive; just remember to balance Mars’s intensity with a bit of Taurus patience and persistence.

Jupiter’s Grand Entrance: One of the most significant shifts this year occurs at the tail end of May: Jupiter, planet of luck and expansion, enters Leo on June 29 (technically that’s next month, but you’ll feel the buildup now). Jupiter has spent the last year enhancing your sense of adventure and learning (in Cancer), but as it prepares to shift into Leo, you’re on the brink of a major career upswing. Jupiter in Leo will ignite your 10th house of career and public image for the next year starting in June, promising growth, recognition, and big opportunities professionally. Late May, you might catch hints of this future trend – perhaps an exciting project lands in your lap or you meet an influential person who opens a door. Keep your eyes peeled for these omens of success; they’re green lights from the universe telling you to aim high.

Memorial Day Magic: For those in the U.S., the Memorial Day weekend at the end of May could be especially enjoyable this year. With the Moon in high-spirited Sagittarius and Venus in a social part of your chart, a mini vacation or gathering with friends might be just what the cosmos ordered. If you get an invite to a beach barbecue or a road trip opportunity arises, go for it. Travel and social enjoyment are favored. You’ll come back recharged and perhaps with a new nugget of wisdom or inspiration that ties into that upcoming career boost.

Overall: May is a luxurious and pivotal month for you, Scorpio. It carries both the intensity of personal transformation and the rich sweetness of deeper connection. You step into your power under the Scorpio full moon, then share that power with others as relationships bloom under the Taurus new moon. Finances and self-worth are addressed head-on – you’re clearing any lingering lack mentality and stepping into abundance mindset. By month’s end, as Jupiter’s energy amplifies, you can feel in your bones that you’re on the verge of something big professionally. Bask in May’s golden glow, enjoy the love and lovely things coming your way, and firm up those values. The universe is showing you that when you know your worth, it mirrors it back with opportunities and blessings. Get ready to step into June standing tall, fierce and fabulous.
