Full Moon in Scorpio

OUCH!

On Monday, May 12th, we have a Full Moon in Scorpio that stingsss. So far, 2025 has been a rough year with a Mars Retrograde in Cancer and Leo that was extremely draining - physically, emotionally, energetically, even financially. And even though we crossed the metaphorical finish line of the Mars Retrograde on February 23rd, its impact still lingers and this Full Moon is here to remind us just how exhausted and overwhelmed we truly are. Since Mars stationed direct on February 23rd, you may have slowly started to regain your strength and feel like yourself again - hooray! And while all of that progress is still true, a Full Moon in Scorpio can be quite emotionally and physically taxing - let alone following the intensity of this recent Mars Retrograde... So if you’re feeling suddenly set back this week, you’re not alone, and I’m here to remind you that this too shall pass.

This Full Moon in Scorpio is offering a humbling reminder that progress often comes with set backs, no matter how hard we resist. However, the more you resist these setbacks, the harder it will be to recover and maintain your faith in the rollercoaster that is life. A Full Moon in Scorpio can trigger some deep and delicate emotions but it can also trigger sudden physical ailments, so tread carefully. This Full Moon in Scorpio, compounded by the recent Mars Retrograde, is also in a direct square to Mars that has only recently made it out from its retrograde shadow on May 7th. It’s also in opposition to Uranus in Taurus, both of which create an unpredictably volatile and challenged environment for this Full Moon. So if you have sudden ailments flare up or have upsetting emotions come to the surface, be gentle with yourself and give yourself the essential care you need to get back on your feet.

While the exhaustion of this Full Moon in Scorpio may feel like the worst timing ever, take this moment to properly rest because in the weeks ahead, some major astrological shifts are on the way, ready to usher in a brand new chapter. On May 24th, Saturn moves into Aries after its two-year stay in Pisces. This will be a radical shift and will certainly be felt by those with natal Pisces and Aries placements. Then on June 9th, Jupiter moves into Cancer, where it is exalted and highly resourced, which will turn the tides in all of our favor. So, if you’ve been sensing a momentous change brewing in your life but aren’t exactly sure how it will take shape, these two events will help clarify your vision and present you with opportunities that align. So even if you feel defeated and doubtful during this Full Moon in Scorpio, its the darkest before the dawn. Your brand new chapter is just around the corner, its so so close!! So be gentle with yourself, hold onto hope, and be patient. You’re almost there…
