Scorpio Full Moon ~ 12th / 13th May 2025
The Vibe of this Full Moon in Scorpio
This Full Moon sits in Scorpio at 22° and brings an energy that digs deep, brings a sense of mystery, and is transformative. Scorpio is an archetype driven by a desire for truth, digging deep into the psyche to unearth hidden emotions and secrets ready to be revealed and alchemised.
Opposing the Moon is the Sun in Taurus, the archetype that bathes in the comfort of life's simplicity, sensory pleasures, and grounding in the present. But with Uranus.... the cosmic disruptor conjunct the Sun, we may experience sudden shifts, breakthroughs, and revelations that shake our sense of stability. Scorpio asks the question... What is comfort? When we peel back the layers of self, what holds real value?
The Full Moon creates a cosmic tension between the comfort of the familiar and the alure of the unknown. Taurus prefers to wade in clear, tranquil waters, sipping of margaritas, savoring life’s simple pleasures. Scorpio prefers diving into the dark ocean's depths, exploring the hidden mysteries buried beneath the surface. What will you find there? Probably things that have never been discovered, because fear keeps us from going there. Scorpio’s energy is not intimidated or scared by this as it thrives in the shadow, it has the power to transform discomfort into raw and real passionate truth.
The modern ruling planet of this Full Moon, Pluto, forms a tense square to Mercury in Taurus. This aspect pulls our thoughts, ideas, and communication (Mercury) into a deep and transformative place. We may find ourselves questioning our beliefs, challenging our perceptions, and confronting the truths we have avoided. Do we stay stuck in the comfort or do we shed and release the old to welcome in the new? Taurus speaks to values, self-worth and self-love – Pluto asks... are you being true to what this is for you?
This Plutonian energy is amplified by a Grand Cross involving Mercury in Taurus, Mars in Leo (the traditional ruler of Scorpio), and Black Moon Lilith (BML). Mars in Leo brings courage pushing us to face our shadows, tuning into the authentic inner leader that wants to be proudly seen and celebrated. But with BML in the mix she may be revealing where our repressed desires or unresolved traumas are blocking our path to transformation. Embrace the discomfort and step into the potential growth that is available through vulnerability.
There is some softness this Full Moon, its not all intense! The North Node in Pisces forms a harmonious trine with the Moon, while the South Node in Virgo creates a supportive sextile. This Nodal Axis offers a sense of guidance and purpose, urging us to release perfectionism and embrace a more fluid, compassionate way of being. It reminds us that this transformation we’re experiencing is part of a greater journey, a bigger picture, a collective shift. As we as individuals release the hidden supressed parts of ourselves, this gives permission and comfort to those navigating the very same thing. Through this, we collectively rise.
