Putting the Mad into Full Moon Madness: Don't Do It!

The Scorpio full moon has a reputation for turning the volume up on everything, and today it lands right on May Day and Beltane, the seasonal midpoint between spring and midsummer. If you’re feeling keyed up, extra blunt, or unusually sensitive, you’re not imagining it. I walk through why this lunar moment can make emotions boil over, and why the real risk is not the feeling itself but what we do with it once words start flying. Mercury is rapidly approaching the anaretic degree at 29° Aries, which can bring urgency, impatience, and a loose tongue. Add Taurus season cravings for comfort and pleasure, and it’s easy to overdo everything: talking, reacting, spending energy, or chasing drama. I lean hard on one keyword that keeps you out of trouble: discipline. We also look at Venus sextile Saturn as a surprisingly helpful “dive brake” that supports better boundaries, kinder phrasing, and fewer regrets, plus Mercury conjunct Chiron as a reminder that change can be beneficial when you slow down and stay aware of sensory overload. I also frame the Flower Moon as a moment of selection, not chaos: choose the strongest “seedlings” you started around the Aries new moon, then commit to nurturing them instead of scattering your intentions. To close, I share a few grounded Taurus-style comforts, then a quick history nod to Mozart’s The Marriage of Figaro and the birth of the Duke of Wellington.
