New Moon in Taurus, 6 May: your 7th house
Thursday 6 May brings the New Moon at 15°42′ Taurus, exact at 10:59 UTC, and for Scorpio it falls in the 7th house, the house of partners and agreements.
The tradition reads a New Moon as a seed rather than a harvest, and the May seed falls in your 7th house, the Setting of the old books: a new beginning with a partner, or a new kind of partnership: a contract, a collaboration, a promise. Set in your 7th house, the May lunation takes its tone from its sign: Taurus, fixed earth ruled by Venus, gives it a slow and steady manner, interested in what lasts.
A practice for the May New Moon: listen for the need underneath someone else’s complaint.
Beyond the Sun sign
Your Sun sign is only part of 2027
A Scorpio forecast reads the year by your Sun sign alone. The Road of Ages reads the turning points of your whole life from your own birth date, and shows where you stand on it now.
See the year on your own RoadFull Moon in Scorpio, 20 May: your 1st house
Thursday 20 May brings the Full Moon at 29°13′ Scorpio, exact at 10:59 UTC, opposite the Sun in Taurus, and for Scorpio it lands in the 1st house, the house of the self and the body.
Astrologers treat the Full Moon as the month’s high tide; in May the tide rises in your 1st house, the place the tradition calls the Hour-marker, and it shows a moment of being seen, which some people enjoy and others would rather avoid. In your 1st house this May, Scorpio makes the mood deep and unflinching, interested in what lies underneath. Read as an axis, from your 1st house to your 7th, this May Full Moon runs along the axis of self and partner: how much of the year is yours to steer, and how much is shared.
One way for Scorpio to meet it in May: look at the first impression you give, in a photograph, a profile or an introduction, and ask whether it is still accurate.
Planets changing sign or direction in May
Pluto turns retrograde in Aquarius, your 4th house, a slow turn spread over several days. The turn comes around 8 May, at 7°10′ Aquarius, and since a slow planet’s turn is felt over weeks rather than on a day, the tradition would look for it in Scorpio’s parents and private life through May.
Mercury enters Gemini on 9 May, your 8th house. Until 28 May, Mercury in your 8th house turns thought toward what is shared and what is hidden: debts, taxes, research and frank conversations about trust.
On 14 May Mars moves into Virgo, which is your 11th house. Until 15 July, Mars in your 11th house energizes groups and hopes: campaigns, team efforts and occasional sparks between friends.
Venus enters Taurus on 14 May, your 7th house. Until 8 June, with the lesser benefic opposite your own sign, the old books would look here for warmth from partners, clients and even rivals.
The Sun enters Gemini, your 8th house, on 21 May at 06:18 UTC. Until 21 June, with the Sun in the house of other people’s goods, the season favors settling accounts, in money and in feeling.
Mercury enters Cancer on 28 May, your 9th house. Until 26 June, Mercury in your 9th house sends the mind traveling: study, publishing, legal matters and long-distance plans.
Love, work and money for Scorpio in May
Venus begins May in Aries, your 6th house, and enters Taurus, your 7th, on 14 May, turning affection toward marriage, committed partnership and the person across the table, most directly of all the houses. The New Moon on 6 May falls in your 7th, the house of partners and agreements.
Mars, the planet of effort, moves from Leo, your 10th, into Virgo (your 11th) on 14 May, so the drive of the month shifts toward networks, clients, teams and the people who open doors.
For money, Mercury arrives in your 8th on 9 May and the Sun arrives in your 8th on 21 May: the house of what is shared and owed. For Scorpio that points May’s attention to debts, loans, taxes, insurance and inheritance, other people’s money in your life; it is a timing, not a forecast of gain or loss.
