If you find yourself acting a little out of character under this Full Moon in Scorpio, congratulations—you’re right on track. This lunation isn’t here to sprinkle moonbeams or remind you to journal in a candlelit bubble bath. No, Scorpio doesn’t do gentle. Scorpio does raw, real, and sometimes just plain rude. Add an opposition to Uranus in Taurus, and we’re not just pulling skeletons out of the closet—we’re launching them into the middle of dinner and asking them to pass the salt.
To understand what’s happening under this full-bodied, no-mercy moon, we need to take a stroll through one of the most iconic shadow tales ever written: Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. Because what better way to explore the Scorpio Full Moon than with a man who tried to separate his darkness, only to become consumed by it?
Enter the Scorpio Full Moon: Shadow Work with a Side of Crisis
Scorpio rules the underworld of the psyche: secrets, shame, fear, desire, power, and emotional intensity that gets labeled “too much” in polite company. This is the terrain we’d rather not visit, much less live in. But during a Full Moon, the emotional tides rise, and when the Moon is in Scorpio, those tides come with fangs.
Full Moons are culmination points. They bring revelations, endings, and emotional climaxes. In Scorpio, they expose the things we’d rather keep buried. And not gently, mind you. More like digging through the psychological basement with a sledgehammer.
Now toss in Uranus, the planet of disruption, rebellion, and abrupt change, sitting across the table in Taurus, and what do you get?
You get Jekyll’s polite smile cracking. You get Hyde pushing his way to the surface. You get a face-off between control and chaos.
Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde: A Scorpio Full Moon Allegory
In Robert Louis Stevenson’s Victorian horror classic, Dr. Henry Jekyll is a respectable man with a “dark side” he doesn’t dare show the world. So, like any brilliant-yet-emotionally-repressed man in a top hat, he concocts a potion to separate his goodness from his depravity.
Cue Edward Hyde: the unleashed id. Lustful, impulsive, violent—Hyde is Jekyll’s shadow made flesh.
Initially, Jekyll thinks he’s won. He gets to play both roles: the polished professional by day and the libertine by night. But Scorpio doesn’t let you flirt with your shadow without consequences. The more Jekyll indulges, the stronger Hyde becomes. Eventually, Jekyll loses control entirely. The potion stops being necessary. Hyde takes over.
That’s this Full Moon in Scorpio. The shadow you’ve tried to keep at bay? It’s knocking. The identity you’ve clung to because it feels safe? It might not survive the week.
And with Uranus in the mix, this isn’t a slow burn. It’s a psychic jailbreak.
Uranus in Taurus: The Disruptor of Stability
Taurus likes comfort. It likes predictability. Uranus, the cosmic curveball, does not. While the Scorpio Moon is dredging up your emotional basement, Uranus is throwing open all the windows and doors, letting the wind howl in. This can look like:
- Sudden emotional outbursts
- Shocking revelations
- A truth bomb from someone who “never talks that way”
- Or you, calmly quitting your job over salad
Uranus forces us to confront where we’ve outgrown our containers—especially the emotional ones. Think of it as the psychological equivalent of a tectonic shift. You may not know exactly what will move, but you can bet something will.
The Full Moon occurs on May 12, 2025.
