When Your Body Knows Before You Do: The 11:11 Scorpio Full Moon

By Myrah Penaloza · May 2026

I want to share something personal before we talk about the stars.

This week, my body told me something it had been keeping quiet for a while. I'd been feeling it — a sudden drop in energy, something shifting underneath the surface that I couldn't name. I found out I have an early case of Hashimoto's.

I've navigated this before. And the moment the diagnosis landed, something in me exhaled rather than contracted, because now I could see it. I have a 21-day healing practice I'm moving through: nutritional, rooted in Japanese acupuncture, woven through with Kundalini yoga. The path is clear.

That is exactly what Scorpio does. It doesn't destroy. It reveals.

And if you have Hashimoto's, or have been through it and come out the other side, I genuinely want to hear your story. Reply to this and tell me.

What Makes the May 1st Full Moon So Rare

At 11° Scorpio, with the Sun at 11° Taurus. Both at 11. May 1st. Six ones in total — what astrologers are calling the 1111 portal. This is genuinely rare. And it's not here to unsettle you. It's here to show you what's ready to be seen.

The Finger of God: Venus, Saturn, and Your Heart

Venus and Saturn, both at exactly 9°, pointing directly at the Moon in Scorpio. Venus is love, beauty, the pleasure of being alive. Saturn is destiny, timing, the moment that was always going to arrive. And they are both pointing at your heart saying: it is time.

How to Work With This Full Moon

Spend time in stillness Friday evening — not doing, just receiving. Ask your body what it has been trying to tell you. Write without editing. Release one thing you have been carrying that is not yours. Let beauty be your medicine this weekend.
