What does this mean?
On April 21, 2027 at 00:26 (CEST), the Full Moon falls in Scorpio. Sun and Moon sit exactly opposite each other, which is why the Moon is fully lit. In the monthly cycle this is the high point. What has been building for two weeks comes into view, wraps up, or asks to be let go. This time the themes belong to Scorpio.
What does the Moon mean?
Your Moon is the inner life: moods, habits, home. It tells what feeds you, what triggers you, and how you get back to feeling safe when everything gets too noisy, whether that's tea on the sofa or a call to your sister. The Sun describes the person you want to be. The Moon is who you are with no one looking, down to your reflexes, longings and dreams.
What does the Full Moon mean?
Full Moon: the Sun and Moon stand opposite each other, so the Moon is fully lit. What has been building for two weeks becomes visible now. Many people feel it as a peak, a moment to notice what is really going on.
What does Scorpio mean?
Scorpio goes deep: power, intimacy, truths that aren't pleasant. It stays where others walk away and wants to know what's under the surface. Where Scorpio is active, nothing gets prettied up. Things get transformed instead. One theme ends, and another comes back stripped to its core.
Full Moon in Scorpio
The Full Moon in Scorpio brings trust and desire to a peak. Scorpio always works deep down, and what it stirred there comes into view now and asks for a response.
What it means for your zodiac sign?
A short reading for each sun sign. You feel the moment most where it hits a point in your own chart directly.
Aries
As Aries, you will probably pick up the undertones more than the main tune. They are quiet and can still be useful. The focus is your feelings, home and needs: what has been building comes into view and deserves an honest look. Fire signs often get going by doing. Pick one small action for the day that you will actually finish.
Taurus
As Taurus, you might get a nudge that feels awkward at first. Check whether it takes you somewhere useful later on. This moment shines a light on your feelings, home and needs, and what has been building comes into view and deserves an honest look. Earth signs usually want something they can hold. Turn the impulse into one practical step.
Gemini
For Gemini this mostly happens in the background. Rather than an upheaval, maybe one small thing shifts.

The new moon in Taurus follows about two weeks later, on May 6, 2027. It marks the other pole of the lunar cycle. You will have to wait until May 20, 2027 for the next full moon in Scorpio.
The Scorpio sign profile covers what Scorpio stands for: its element, modality and ruling planet. The 2027 astrology calendar lists every date of the year, and the page next full moon gathers the full moons still to come. The moon phase calculator works out which phase was in the sky on the day you were born.
How to read the data
- Moon position: the degree the Moon sits on at the exact moment. Every sign runs from 0° at its start to 29° at its end.
- Opposite lunation: this is the coming new moon, where the cycle begins again.
- A small test: on the evening of April 21, jot down one sentence about what seemed clearer to you that day. Dig the note out again at the new moon on May 6, 2027 and reread it.
How often is there a full moon in Scorpio?
Roughly once a year. Between 1900 and 2100 we count 211 full moons in Scorpio, with two in 10 of those years.
At a full moon, Sun and Moon face each other from opposite sides of the sky. With the Moon in Scorpio, the Sun has to be in Taurus, so this full moon lands almost every time in April and May.
Counting every sign, a year holds 12.37 full moons. One lunar cycle takes 29.5 days, a little less than a calendar month, which leaves room for a thirteenth about every 2.7 years.
