Your Horoscope for May's Full Moon in Scorpio
Full Moons are a time for releasing and relinquishing. If you have an excess in your life, this is the time for it to go down the drain. Through silent meditation, exchanging of thoughts, or spiritual practice, Full Moons are a point when we can let go. May’s Full Moon, in Scorpio, is an astrological hint to take control over your evolution. Following Western astrology, these new and complete Moon guides are monthly reminders to set and review your intentions–your horoscope is a rudimentary prompt for self-reflection.Fear is one of the most under-appreciated emotions. We’ve all directly experienced or witnessed the naive expectation to bury fear as if it can be kept on a leash—as if it has no purpose, no message to share, and should be removed entirely from the human psyche. Imagine a person who transforms without discernment for risks, rules, or regulations. Someone who never considers the consequences of their actions. A child with no concern for how their behavior might be perceived by someone older and knowledgeable. A man with no hesitation. A woman with no wisdom. A person with no internal alarm system. Yeah, no thank you. That would be scary. So how can we keep dismissing fear—sh*tting on it—treating it like a nuisance or some “negative emotion,” when it's what reminds us that we’re alive? Fear makes us pause. It deepens our capacity for empathy. Like anger and sadness, fear is uncomfortable because it’s alerting us that something is off. That something matters. Luckily, May’s Flower Moon, formally known as the Full Moon in Scorpio, won’t require any public displays of crash-outs or chaos, but it will ask you to respect what fear is trying to teach you.The Flower Moon will happen on May 12, 2025, at 12:54 p.m. EST, becoming full in Scorpio's discerning, sensual domain. And despite the sultry, seductive allure Scorpio is known for, this sign is all about emotional depth, transformative tension, and the mastery of stillness. Scorpio energy waits. It scans. It senses. Anyone with strong Scorpio placements has likely had to learn to ground themselves by observing more than they interject (are you even a Scorpio if you haven’t punished yourself for a word-vomit moment in front of strangers?).This Flower Moon forms a trine to Saturn, the planet of labor, mastery, and emotional endurance, as well as the North Node in Pisces—aka the dreamy path of your soul’s purpose. Together, these transits say: You are cosmically permitted to follow your dreams fearfully.No, not fearlessly. We’re not all Taylor Swift (and yes, I understand that fearlessness is technically “moving through fear,” but let’s sit with the nuance). I hope you acknowledge your fear. I hope you let it make you wiser. Take pen to paper, paint to canvas, and shoes to the dance floor. Step into the unknown waters of Scorpio’s realm. Let yourself shake. Let yourself care. Because you were never meant to be a person without fear, you have so much to gain from embracing your vulnerability. And shouldering the weight of all you already carry—plus all you have yet to earn—will stir your soul. That fear will make your triumphs taste richer. You will feel them viscerally. As you should.Read your horoscope based on your Sun, Moon, and Rising signs. Read your Sun sign to gain insight into the version of yourself that you're maturing into. Read your Rising sign to reflect on your present state. And read your Moon sign for guidance on how to grow your inner child (no one is perfect).

No more impulse buys for the remainder of May. You might have a random expense requiring you to allocate your funds carefully. Remember that help is available if needed, but I understand you’d rather not feel like a dependent. TaurusEmotional decisions aren’t inherently bad decisions, Taurus. In the case of this Scorpio Full Moon, your deep thinking likely informs the actions you take within your close relationships. You may feel a bit cringey about how you expressed yourself, but try not to mistake intention with impact. Yes, continually improve your emotional regulation, and make sure you continue to speak your truth. GeminiThe grand success you seek is built from a seemingly endless period of trial and error. Ten steps forward and three steps backward is the choreography of your current manifestation dance. Keep your head up as you regress into uncertainties—confusion is a part of learning how to move yourself. This Flower Moon may result in you calling it quits on jobs, projects, and routines that deter you from the career you imagine for yourself. No need to mind the lifestyle gap, your community will help you find activities to fill your newfound time. CancerYou are safe to share your talents with the world, Cancer. A longstanding project or piece of art that you are working on has the potential to receive the acclaim you’ve wanted. Keeping your precious pieces of creativity to yourself might seem like a good idea until you realize you might be holding yourself back. How do you stop blocking the sun from shining a proud light on all you are? Step aside and let the sunshine in!LeoPeople may not fully recognize the side of you that has to go home and collect yourself. Behind the privacy of closed doors, you can separate yourself from the rock, who graciously and fearlessly shows up for your loved ones. Take five, ten, fifteen, or however long you need to gather your best self. You are in no rush and have permission to share your limitations as required.VirgoYou appear to be entering a long-term commitment with someone. Whether this relationship involves deepening a pre-existing friendship or introducing lasting love into your life depends on whom you can learn from. The lessons you have learned about love can serve you by letting you reflect on what you need to feel safe and secure within a bonded dynamic. Be mindful of how you may self-sabotage by being overly critical of yourself and possibly those around you. You can relax into love.LibraAs you share where your tender spots are, you will begin to recognize your self-value. The Flower Moon in Scorpio on May 12, 2025 illuminates all that carries significant worth in your life. You will better understand your values, worth, and what you have to offer those around you. Continue satisfying your daily tasks, and watch your consistency develop into long-term satisfaction.ScorpioYou are almost over the hump of your creative block, babe! Many of you may have struggled with a loss of sexual appetite, an unwillingness to express your artistic side, or an unwillingness to let yourself be a fool in the name of creativity. As the planet Saturn exits the domain of Pisces, you will begin to feel a sense of emotional release. This Full Moon permits you to express your feelings and fearfully recognize the person tethered to them. It’s okay to have big feelings and channel them into bad art. SagittariusYou have spent the past two years developing your sense of home and the heavy lifting is almost done. You might deal with minor relationship frustrations during the Full Moon in Scorpio on May 12; little letdowns, disappointments, and missed communications may serve your greater good by catalyzing your learning. Even if life feels a bit confusing at this time, trust that solitude gives space for you to flow towards enlightenment.CapricornMinor hiccups are just mini-obstacles for you to fight through! Treat life like your favorite game. Imagine a frustrating client is a monster you have the experience to defeat. You have already actualized the material necessary to promote yourself; all you have to do is go through temporary barriers and blocks. This Flower Moon allows you to enjoy the feeling of dreams coming true, thanks to community connectedness. Let yourself be your own hero; no need to sweat the small stuff. AquariusA sense of eureka is pouring into your understanding of legacy, Aquarius! If you are in a job that no longer aligns with your long-term goals, a better opportunity that fits your long-term goals is available. Of course, the path might come with minor irritations. The path you must go down to get where you’re going might require creativity. Unlikely connections might hold the playbook for your next significant level up. These difficulties are teaching you that self-respect means setting boundaries. Just because you can doesn’t mean you should. PiscesWithin the pages of a book, the pixels on your Kindle, or the rhythmic beats of a song are the energetic force you need to harvest for your next awakening. Keep your ears open to new lessons and messages—shallow avoidance of familiar and controversial figures may cost you knowledge. You never have to sign on to an entire belief system to cherry-pick the nuggets of wisdom from it. When you remember that every living organism has the potential to teach you a lesson, then you will be able to better make sense of yourself.Related StoryYour May Horoscope Has Officially Arrived!
