Full Moon in Scorpio
How to Use This Blog
I create horoscopes for you to use as a tool for introspection and reflection. When observing the outside world from a general perspective, I recognize that we need more encouragement to work on developing and understanding our inner world. You can use the information in this blog to prompt guided introspection.
Background Information
When using Astrology as a tool for healing and introspection (within the realm of Natal Astrology), the planets represent energies that correlate with the different manifestations of our nature. They demonstrate that many parts make up a whole. The zodiac signs represent atmospheres or energy signatures through which the other parts of our nature (the planets) express themselves. Lastly, astrological houses represent the various life areas of our lives. From this viewpoint, interpreting horoscopes can be easier to digest and more practical for immediate implementation.
The study of Astrology is from the perspective of the Earth looking out towards the cosmos. In other words, Astrology is an Earth-based natural science. Having this piece of context at the back of the mind can be a helpful best practice when discussing anything related to the study of Astrology.
Full Moon and New Moon 101
Full Moons are always in the opposite sign of the Sun. For example, on May 16, 2022, there was a total lunar eclipse in the sign Scorpio, and the Sun was in Taurus. Scorpio and Taurus are opposite signs. On the other hand, New Moons always occur within the same sign as the Sun. For example, on October 25, 2022, there was a partial solar eclipse in the sign Scorpio, and the Sun, along with the new Moon, was in the sign Scorpio.
What you are here for
On “Moon” day, May 12th, 2025, there will be a Full Moon in the water sign Scorpio. Paradoxically, we will be reminded of the essence of Autumn while experiencing the manifestation of Spring. During the Autumn season, for those of us living in the Northern Hemisphere, leaves fall away or are released from the hold of the branches they once connected to, signifying the end of something and the start of something else. The chill in the air, increasing day by day, makes the coming Winter more palpable, and the warmth from the past Summer feel like a dream. Thoughts on slowing down take centre stage, to preserve the remaining heat of Summer still active within us. Transformation during this time can feel like it is happening to us and not for us, while pervading darkness and stillness take over the Earth, our minds, hearts and bodies. Feeling forced to witness our leaves fall away or be released from our lives in the form of past relationships, dreams, ways of existing, etc., can feel painful and disillusioning. Now that we have reached the other side, perhaps we can find meaning in what we have undergone, allowing us to forge a strong foundation for the version of ourselves that currently stands. What has been detached has created room for what can be!
At this time, you may feel the burn/ freeze of transformation so viscerally that it is difficult to ignore. Flashbacks of what you have experienced, along with notions, people, places, and things that are in your life as a result, may feel up for investigation. However, perhaps it is time to trust that you have a better understanding of what is best for you. This full Moon in Scorpio is encouraging us to put down the microscope and focus on feeling contentment. You have grown in many ways that deserve your attention. While you may not be where you want to be, you are where you are because of your past efforts and decisions. Congratulations on your metamorphosis! We can do all that we can to keep ourselves safe, and still feel pain because it is unavoidable. The most we can do is be open to learning from our past experiences and apply those lessons appropriately.
