Scorpio Monthly Horoscope

Partnerships headline your month, Scorpio, as the Taurus Sun charges through your seventh house until the 20th. Whether it’s romance, business or a creative duo, you’re being asked to define your terms. On the 1st, the full moon lands in your sign, spotlighting your personal needs and a milestone you’ve been working toward. Think: soft launch of a new personal brand, hard launch of a reputation-boosting project. 

On the 6th, Pluto turns retrograde in Aquarius and your home zone through October 15, stirring deep reflection on roots and family patterns. The Aquarius quarter moon on the 10th could make Mother’s Day nostalgic. Cook a meal of family recipes and anchor into cozy traditions. On the 16th, the Taurus new supermoon activates your partnership house, prompting defining moments in love or alliances. 

Then, Gemini season kicks off on the 20th. With the Sun streaming through your eighth house of intimacy, sexy times, financial merges, or maybe all three, are ahead. Until the 18th, Venus in Gemini fuels intensity in your eighth house, upping the stakes on desire. After that, Venus shifts into Cancer and your adventure zone while Mars storms into Taurus and your relationship sector. Romance may heat up with someone who challenges you to grow. Coupled? Reignite passion by planning a daring escapade with your S.O. 

The month ends with the Sagittarius blue full moon on the 31st in your money house. News about a job or a work situation could arrive. Be ready to act quickly should opportunity strike!

Embrace the power of two this month, Scorpio. Until May 20, the Sun is swinging through Taurus and your seventh house of one-on-one relationships, setting the stage for compromise and collaboration. Bring balance back to your closest ties. If issues come up, be diplomatic and dare to go into the depths. With revolutionizing Uranus now in Gemini and your intimate eighth house until 2033, you’ll be emboldened to get into the most intricate nuances, transforming your ties.

Taurus season helps you assess the places where you’ve gotten a little too rogue or renegade for your own good. It’s great to feel in control, but you may have tipped into isolation by insisting on doing it all yourself. Where could your plans go further by teaming up? In love and business, your alliances grow stronger when you focus on win-win scenarios. As a Scorpio, you've got a sixth sense for these kinds of synergies. The connections you cultivate now could turn into thriving partnerships this year. 

Another good reason to double up? With the Sun traveling through your opposite sign of Taurus, it’s at its farthest point from Scorpio on the zodiac wheel. As a result, your “solar power” is a bit dimmer and you may feel more tired than usual this month. Consider this your cue to reach out to supportive people and lean on the folks who you’re always helping.

A peak 2026 moment arrives on May 1, when the year's only Scorpio full moon celebrates and elevates you and your most cherished priorities. A passion project or a personal goal could show signs of real progress. Something unique that you’ve created could draw attention.  (For clues of what could manifest, look back to the Scorpio NEW moon on November 20, 2025.) 

While your private sign doesn't always feel at ease in the spotlight, when you believe in something, you’re a force of nature—and bullish about sharing your message.

They key question today: What do you want to be known and seen for, Scorpio? Make sure that’s what the public finds when people go searching for you. Not sure what that could be? Tune in and ask the universe for guidance. Then, get proactive and get the word out! 

For example, if you’ve always dreamed of owning an alpaca farm that offers therapeutic services to people with PTSD, start telling everyone you know. You may be stunned to find out that they have the perfect connections or a promising lead for you. No idea is too wild or out-there. Unusual ideas are the most memorable! 

With the Scorpio full moon in your assertive first house, you could recognize a need to advocate for yourself. Voice your preferences, even if it causes ripples among your nearest and dearest. If you can’t be your most authentic self, what’s the point? Don’t brush your feelings under the rug. Tap into the full moon and find the courage to speak your truth.

You’ll have another opportunity to work with full moon energy this month. A second full moon, AKA a blue moon, arrives on May 31 in Sagittarius. One of the ideas that sparks on May 1 could start to take tangible form as the month closes out. 

Cut the cord, Scorpio. On May 6, intense Pluto (your ruling planet) turns retrograde in your fourth house of home and family for the next five months, demanding that you take a huge step back when it comes to your loved ones. There’s nothing wrong with reaching out for support, but watch those boundaries. Between now and October 15, stay on guard against codependent dynamics. Find your own path—separate from your inner circle. It also wouldn’t hurt to set clearer limits for those who are clinging a tad too tightly.

Does the energy in your home feel off-kilter? With shadowy Pluto retrograde, you’ll become more aware of the subtle vibes and Feng Shui of your space. Declutter, move the furniture around, put some protective talismans around the house.

With your galactic guardian Pluto in Aquarius for essentially 20 years (until 2044!), you can work with hidden forces and transmute pain into strength. Your private life can become rich and fulfilling if you let it. Over the coming two decades, you may feel compelled to explore your roots, uncover family secrets or heal intergenerational patterns. There may be some surprises, but this journey will bring great depth and meaning to your life, helping you establish an unshakable sense of place.

Ready for that next big step, Scorpio? Your partnerships get a midmonth power surge this May 16, when the annual Taurus new moon (and first supermoon!) sparks a fruitful connection and paves the way for a serious commitment. Looking for a companion in love or business? You could meet someone with serious plus-one potential. If you’re looking at exclusivity, start the talks about making things official. 

For Scorpios already in solid relationships, a new chapter of growth as a couple could begin with this new moon. What new adventures could you try together? How could you evolve as a duo to reflect the people you’ve become? If you’ve been on rocky terrain, this new moon could help you find the reset you’ve been seeking. 

Professional partnerships are also catalyzed by the May 16 new moon. You could engage in talks about teaming up or be offered a contract to sign. No need to rush to seal the deal. By the May 31 full moon, you’ll have more information, so start researching and negotiating. New moons blossom over a two-week and a six-month window. Need to take your time? Between now and the Taurus full moon on October 26, you can test the waters to see if this match has the power to go the distance. 

There’s been a lot of energy afoot this month, but you’ll be ready to hang the “do not disturb” sign starting May 20, when the Sun begins its monthlong journey through Gemini and your intimate, focused eighth house. This region of the chart is ruled by Scorpio, and with el Sol in your home terrain, you'll be at your perceptive and magnetic best. You might crave more privacy over the next four weeks, or at least less distraction from your main obsession.

A simmering sexual attraction could heat up this Gemini season, or you could delve into some complex emotional healing work. The eighth house also rules shared financial ventures. Explore a business collaboration or savvy ways to pool your resources for mutual benefit (and cost-cutting), from sharing a desk at a co-working space to joining a CSA for seasonal farm-to-table produce. With innovative, collective-minded Uranus now in Gemini until 2033, you could get especially creative with your ideas about how to make the world work for everyone.

As a fixed water sign, you not only absorb energy from everyone around you, but it can get stuck and stagnant if you don’t decompress. Wring yourself out and rejuvenate with the Sun in this part of your chart until June 21. Book a deep tissue massage, some energy healing or a sound bath. Anything that moves the trapped emotions out of your body will do the trick.

The month-ending Sagittarius full moon will spotlight your second house of work and money. If you've been toiling away toward a goal, you could finally get your payout! Look back to the December 19 Sagittarius new moon for clues of what could transpire at the May 31 full moon.

What’s more, this full moon is a blue moon, meaning it’s the second full moon in a single calendar month (the first being the Scorpio full moon on May 1). Having an extra full moon can bring an extra wave of changes and surprising events!  

Thinking of asking for a raise or promotion? This is the time to do it. If you’ve been pondering leaving your job or even looking for a new position or project in your company, you’ll have abundant celestial support with the May 31 Sagittarius full moon.

These moonbeams light the way for you to make a change. Summon the spirit of adventure, Scorpio. At the month-opening Scorpio new moon, you dropped onto a brand-new path and there’s no turning back. Now, at month’s end, you can start to build upon some of the inspired visions that stirred up in May!
