Full Moon in Scorpio ~ May 12, 2025

Full Moon in Scorpio – Revelation, Release, Radical Rebirth

22°12′ Full Moon in Scorpio | Sun conjunct Uranus | Mercury square Pluto (3° Taurus–Aquarius)

On May 12th, the Full Moon rises from the penetrating waters of Scorpio. Illuminating all that is hidden and repressed, bringing some transformative energies to the surface. Positioned at 22°12′, this Full Moon invites us to confront deeper emotional truths, shed psychological residue, and master the art of letting go.

The Taurus-Scorpio axis is fully activated, grounding us in this tension between safety and surrender, the known and the unknown.

Full Moons in Scorpio tend to pull us into the emotional undercurrents we’d rather avoid. This one exposes what we’ve kept beneath the surface… our vulnerabilities, attachments, compulsions, and unspoken desires. It may bring a culmination to psychological processes that have been unfolding since the previous New Moon in Scorpio (November 2024), offering an opportunity for release and rebirth.

At 22°, this is a mature Scorpio energy. The Moon here doesn’t seek control; it seeks authenticity.

Sun Conjunct Uranus in Taurus:

The Moon’s opposition to the Sun is intensified by Uranus, the planet of awakening, disruption, and individualism. Uranus conjunct the Taurus Sun challenges us to break free from outdated values and attachments that limit our growth. This transit may bring surprising realizations that feel disruptive in the moment but ultimately liberate us from stagnation.

This combination challenges us to redefine what stability truly means for us and may propel us into radical shifts.

Mercury in Taurus Square Pluto Retrograde in Aquarius:

Pluto retrograde at 3° Aquarius, forms a tense square with Mercury at 3° Taurus, amplifying the intensity of our thoughts, conversations, and inner dialogues. This is a psychologically charged aspect, exposing underlying power dynamics in how we think, speak, and process information.

We may feel driven to uncover the truth, but with Pluto involved, the truth is rarely gentle.

Despite the depth and disruption, the Taurus stellium (Sun, Mercury, Uranus) offers an anchoring force. While Scorpio seeks to transform, Taurus reminds us to root that transformation in what is real, tangible, and nourishing. Emotional release, when balanced with self-care, and practical action!
