Full Moon at 11 degrees Scorpio

1 May 2026 – Excerpt from The Perennial Wheel

This full moon has the moon in the fixed water sign of Scorpio and the Sun in the fixed earth sign of Taurus and maybe shining a light on suborn issues in intense emotional or financial issues.

Within Medical Astrology this represents the excretory axis of Taurus – Scorpio

The Moon is in ill dignity and in fall in Scorpio, thus losing strength and influence. The Sun is comfortable. The ruling planet of this lunation is Mars, who is well dignified, in rulership, in domicile at his most powerful in Aries.

A broad stellium in Aries has Mars in domicile at its centre, flanked by Saturn and Neptune now separating and by Mercury in the later degrees.

There is still a mini grand trine involving the outer planets causing a chaotic undercurrent of confusion, with the apex is on Neptune there is an indication of a preponderance of glamour, illusion and deception of sorts, so the story is similar to the prior New Moon, although there may be some illumination here.

Saturn is in fall in enthusiastic Aries, and Venus in chatty Gemini, both are in an easy sextile that benefit talk of obligations in relationships.

Jupiter exalted in Cancer is squaring Mercury in Aries, a clashing of spirited communications and dwelling in memories past.

Moon, herbs and ritual

• The full moon is an excellent time for harvesting herbs (especially mushrooms)
• A fixed water Moon thus moist and fertile
• A useful time to support urinary, excretory organs; colon, anus, and sweating, reproductive system, pelvis, blood, adrenals and immunity
• Herbs could include; Walnut, Wormwood, Cloves, Garlic, Marshmallow Root, Nettle Seed and Echinacea.
• A simple Full Moon ritual could be to take some time out, light a candle and some incense, place down an offering of honeyed milk or mead on your working space, while mentally or verbally stating gratitude or willed intention, then chill out.

‘Thou shalt do nothing without the assistance of the moon,’ Agrippa.

‘The stars incline, they do not compel, a trinity of testimonial’s is needed for certainty. With foresight and preparation, a certainty can be prepared for, helping to either enhance or negate, as needed.’

These transits may affect you personally, if you are predisposed, this can be seen within your natal and other related charts, usually by what is termed a Trinity of Testimonial’s, though otherwise they are general.

If you are likely to be susceptible to this influence, making preparations of meditation and prayer, practicing forms of psychic self defence maybe necessary. The best psychic self defence is considered to be from those of your personal ancestral roots and not of foreign belief systems. Creating and maintaining a strong ancestral veneration practice is seen to strengthen against malicious forces.

The safe use of herbs and other remedies will always depend upon your unique health situation, and you should always take into consideration any possible contraindications; pregnancy and lactation, children’s doses, herb/drug combinations, allergic reactions and up and coming surgery, seek advice from your trusted health professional if not 100% sure.
