Scorpio Full Moon May 2025: Astrology, Meaning & Energy Forecast
Astrology by Lisa Stardust
Get ready to feel the emotional shift that's coming from The Flower Full Moon In Scorpio. The Full Moon rises on May 12th at 9:56 AM PDT and 12:56 PM EDT.
Since the Moon is in Scorpio, it will be an incredibly transformational time. We are shedding the past and becoming our most authentic selves.
This lunation is considered a micro-moon because it is at the apogee to the Earth, which means that it is in closer proximity than usual. Even though the Moon appears to be smaller in size, it will still radiate a lot of energy and intensity. Another interesting fact to note is that the Full Moon got its name due to the blossoming of flowers in North America in spring.
Saturn in Pisces and Uranus in Taurus are both aspecting the Full Moon, bringing many emotional ups and downs, leading us towards committing to our pure and realistic emotions. Saturn serves as structure, and Uranus awakens our desires, so we commit to evolution, leading us toward a personal metamorphosis. The Nodes of Destiny connect to the Full Moon, making us feel that the events are part of our path. Fate takes hold and urges us to grow. Like the flowers that are budding, we will be blooming, too.
The fixed star Unukalhai aligns with the Scorpio Moon. Unukalhai is known to be crafty, manipulative, innovative, and successful. It can make people feel like they are the authority on every subject. To maintain a peaceful nature, we must not insert ourselves into the lives of others and focus on ourselves.
On the same day, Mercury in Taurus squares Pluto retrograde in Aquarius. Frustrations from power dynamics could lead to arguments—if we let them. We can choose to augment situations for the better by having patience and sprinkling compassion in our communication with others. Words may be intense and dramatic, so choose yours wisely and kindly.
Most importantly, be gentle with yourselves. Know that you can move and heal at your own pace. Just trust the process and proceed with love.
