May begins with the Scorpio Full Moon on May 1. Traditional May Day on May 1 marks an ancient European spring festival, a modern international labor movement holiday.

May Day has also been used as a radio distress signal. Historically, May Day marks the start of summer with traditions like maypoles, while politically it commemorates workers’ rights, specifically the 1886 eight-hour day movement.
