The Scorpio Full Moon - May 2025
Scorpio Full Moon: A Time for Transformation, Breakthrough, Truth, and Emotional Release
The Scorpio Full Moon on 12 May 2025 is a powerful moment of emotional intensity and transformation. Known as the Flower Moon, it invites you to confront hidden truths, release what no longer serves you, and embrace personal growth.
The Themes of Scorpio
Scorpio is the sign of depth, transformation, and emotional truth. This Full Moon encourages you to:
Face your shadows: Acknowledge and release deep-seated fears or patterns.
Embrace change: Let go of what no longer serves your growth.
Seek truth: Pursue authenticity in your relationships and self-understanding.
Themes of this moon:
Breakthrough energy – the impossible becomes possible.
Deep transformation – emotional release, truth-seeking, death and rebirth.
Full Moon conjunct Juno – commit to your next level of growth.
Sun conjunct Uranus in Taurus – expect sudden changes, insights, and liberation.
Key Dates to reflect on:
1st Nov 2024 New Moon in Scorpio – new beginnings tied to power and resilience.
15th Nov 2024 Full Moon in Taurus (opposite Scorpio) – a previous breakthrough moment.
April 2025 New Moon in Taurus (opposite Scorpio) – short-term actions now bearing fruit.
Where does it fall in your chart?
Which house is Scorpio in within your natal chart? For me, this moon at 22° Scorpio falls within my 12th House (just on the cusp with the 1st) so brings up themes of the unseen realms, spirituality, dreams, imagination, the subconscious as well as identity, sense of self, self-image and goals (yes I’m experiencing that!) View a quick summary of the house themes here.
To check yours, pull up your chart on https://www.astro.com/cgi/chart.cgi and check where the Scorpio sign is (the blue one that looks like an M)- check the house number in the middle of the chart. You can click the ‘add transits’ button to get the green transit symbols on the outside of the circle as shown below.
Note also if you have any other placements within Scorpio- for me I have my Chiron in Taurus which falls opposite this moon, so I’ll look at the themes connected to that as well.
My chart as an example:
