What a full moon in Scorpio means
Full moons are the peak of the lunar cycle: things started at the new moon two weeks earlier come to a head. In Scorpio, a water sign, the spotlight falls on intense, magnetic, transformative themes — while the Sun in Taurus pulls the other way. Astrologers read it as a time to finish, release and notice what's ripened.
Signs most affected: Scorpio and Taurus, plus the other fixed signs.
