ASTRO: FULL MICRO FLOWER MOON IN DEEPLY TRANSFORMATIVE SCORPIO

ASTRO FULL MICRO FLOWER MOON

12 MAY 2025 @17:55 GMT

All Hail & welcome to ASTRO: Full Micro Flower Moon in deeply transformative Scorpio. The Moon is at apogee, its furthest distance from the Earth, so appears smaller to us. The Sun is in the opposite sign of steady, Earthy Taurus. This Full Moon will carry powerful energy highlighting the Scorpio- Taurus polarities of; mine v yours; form v transformation; security v change & destruction leading to transformation. In addition, the Scorpio-Taurus axis is a financial axis, so we will see an illumination surrounding these areas of our lives. We also have plenty of planetary aspects in the mix which will influence some of our moods & reactions. So, lets see what the cosmos has in store for us at this full phase in May....

Naming the moon

This month’s names for the full May moon originate in many different geographical areas & reflect a variety of ecological & agricultural events. The Native American names for the May full moon are Flower Moon, Milk Moon, Hare Moon and Grass Moon. The Montana tribes named this moon the Idle Moon. In Canada it is known by the name of Goose Moon. In China it is the Dragon Moon. In India we will meander into the auspicious month of Jyeshtha. The British Celtic Medieval names for this moon vary according to your persuasion, two of those names are Mother’s Moon & Bright Moon. The Druidic Ogham has us in the month of the Hawthorn, Huath. This is a masculine moon also known as the Moon of Restraint, Moon of Hindrance or Summer Moon. With this full moon come the aspects of fertility, peace, prosperity & binding, making this a good time for magic designed for these aspects.

Full Moon

Full Moon is a time for harvesting our intentions which began at New Moon. Full phase is an emotional time for sensuality, relationships & productivity. As we are gathering in our well earned rewards, we are faced with the qualities of Sun in Taurus opposing a Scorpio Moon, deeply affecting our emotional stability & how we perceive some of our personal relationships, including our connection to money. Our beautiful celestial satellite goes into full phase on 12th May 2025 at 17:55 UTC. The moon will be in the sign of watery Scorpio, ushering in deep emotional & spiritual transformation, intense sensuality & heightened instincts. The Sun is in the Earthy stable sign of Taurus & will shine a light on the sensual you, all things Earth appreciative, as well as lending a steady hoof to transform relationships with ourselves & those close to us, in addition to relationships with finances.

Sun in Taurus. Taurus is an Earth sign which encompasses grounding, patience, generosity, security, devotion & sensuality. This sign is a real powerhouse keeping a steady hoof & heartbeat of calm practicality, which helps to get done the job done. This energy will help us with those areas or situations which illuminate during this phase & the month ahead.

Moon in Scorpio

Scorpio is represented by 2 iconic beings. The first being that of the Scorpion, who sheds its skin, representing endings & new beginnings & the 2nd being that of the Phoenix, who rises from the ashes, representing our transcendence to our highest potential. So, we are looking at peeling back the layers in our relationships, in order to truly examine our actions, reactions, feelings & emotions toward all the things. We may need to shed some aspects in order to rise to fullness. We are experiencing the death & rebirth of a life cycle. Everything has cycles & none of our relationships are exceptions. It is time to weigh up pro’s & cons of any connections which are highlighted by this Full Moon, by peeling back the layers & taking a good look at motives, what is acceptable & what is no longer good for us. It could be a friendship, family, relationship to ourselves, finances, which may need improvement or release. This is a big ask, as there is a need to acknowledge the ending of a cycle & take action which is a life changing manoeuvre.

Moon in Scorpio is deeply emotionally transformative. This Scorpio Moon is going to dig deeper than many others have dared. Our relationships with ourself & those closest to us will come under the microscope, if they haven't already showed signs of needing closer inspection. Scorpio Moon penetrates with such an intensity & asks us to face the deepest emotional details of our lives & relationships. We are being encouraged to think about what goodness we wish to have in relationships to self & those closest, in terms of how we feel, listen & understand within those connections.

Think about how personal connections feel; good, bad, unsure?

Ask:

What personal deep inner investigation can lead to change within ourselves right now? (Our relationship with self & reactions to those closest to us; how we feel, act & react to certain connections)

Which relationships need improving? ( which connections have been playing out recently?)

Which relationships can be transformed? ( Is there room & capacity for improvement?)

Is this relationship benefiting my life? (Does it make me feel good, bad or unsure?)

Has this relationship travelled its course?

Which connections need to be released?

I know there are a lot of questions to ask. Remember, this is deep work needing to be taken, benefitting us in terms of safety, security, stability & trust.

Planetary influences

Sun Conjunct Uranus -  is all about changes, watch for impulsive tendencies or becoming abrupt. This may indicate troubles with whatever has or is being revealed to us.

Full Moon opposite Uranus – emotional excitement & impulsiveness. Struggles to relate to others emotionally. Possible anger, bad mood. Lots of inspiration, surprises & excitement around family/ home life.

Full Moon trine Saturn – want for independence & self- reliance. Increase in organisational skills & ability to handle complexities. Mature emotional response, patience & persistence.

Full Moon Quincunx Jupiter (Quincunx is 5 zodiac signs away, challenging aspect) – lack of consistency. Unreliability. Over confident optimism or idealisms make for disconnection from reality. Trust issues making it difficult to form commitments to others. Allow situations to play out, then make adjustments accordingly.

Astronomy

This month the moon will conjunct 4 different planets on 4 separate occasions.

Conjunction is an optical illusion based on perspective & distance, where celestial bodies meet at the same point in the evening sky, giving us the impression that they are atop of each other. In astrological terms they mean a joining of forces.

There will also be a daytime meteor shower, but you’ll have to be up extra early for that.
