Flower Moon Astrology
This year’s Full Flower Moon reaches peak illumination in Scorpio (22 degrees) on May 12, 2025 at 12:56 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time (9:56 a.m. Pacific or 5:56 p.m. in London).

During this period of the year, the Sun travels through Taurus (April 20-May 20). When the Sun is in Taurus, the full Moon is always in Scorpio. Here is an illustration showing Taurus and Scorpio opposite each other on the zodiac wheel:
Taurus and Scorpio are Fixed signs, meaning that they fully embody the essence of their seasons: spring and fall, respectively. Taurus is ruled by Venus, planet of love, while Scorpio is co-ruled by Mars and Pluto, the planets of passion and rebirth.
This pair of opposites relates to wealth, power, sensuality, and intimacy. Regarded as one of the “most powerful” polarities in the zodiac, Taurus-Scorpio tends to tip in extreme directions—from great abundance to lack thereof. This polarity brings significant focus on value, worth, trust, and intimacy. You may find yourself investigating your self-worth, as well as what you have on a deeper level with other people.
Taurus is an Earth sign, grounding us in the natural world and our senses. Beauty, romance, and sensuality in all forms. Yet, on the opposite end, Scorpio, a Water sign is equally like the great abyss of the sea—or a mighty volcano—all-encompassing and devouring. With the energy of Taurus, we live in the moment. With Scorpio, we seek to transform ourselves and the moment to become something altogether new.
When it comes to astrological aspects coloring this lunation, there are many to focus upon. First and foremost, the planets are in a mixed dance.
The full Moon is in opposition to Uranus. This means that chaos, sudden surprises, and random twists of fate are likely to pop up near this time. Some people could win big, while others end on the losing side. Beware of impulsivity, accidents, recklessness, and breakdowns. People will be emotionally on edge and may feel quite triggered.
However, the Full Moon is in a more distant applying aspect to both Saturn, the planet of strength, and Neptune, the planet of spirituality. This should aid some of us in trying to find a cool, calm, and sensitive approach to handling whatever pops up.
If we take a step back, think to the long-term, and practice peace and compassion, we could tilt the odds in our favor. Connecting with art, beauty, and pleasure could be quite enjoyable.
Next, Pluto, the planetary ruler of this lunation, will be aligned with many planets, but will be directly square Mercury, which could cause power struggles or intensity around the mind and communications.
Mars, the co-ruler of this lunation, will be in a perfect trine with Venus, ensuring that once again if we focus on leading with love regarding relationships, pleasure, joy, and romance, we will likely very much enjoy this time.

Full Flower Moon Astrology by Zodiac Sign
Here is a quick guide for how you may be affected by the May 2025 Full Moon astrology, particularly between the dates of May 9-16. (Find your birthday in the date ranges below to read your personal horoscopes!)
Before looking ahead, take a moment to look back at what was happening in your life six months ago.

Scrolling through photos on your phone from that time may jog your memory!

♈ ARIES March 21-April 19
Get ready to go to new depths, Aries. This Full Flower Moon is pushing you to explore your shadow side. Some of you could feel more moody, sensual, or ravenous! You’ll be eager for intimacy, connection, and truth.
This is fabulous energy to snuggle up close with someone important. But if you’re not feeling the synergy, you could very quickly be leaving them in the dust. Trust and vulnerability are key right now.
On a separate note, though, this Full Moon could be turning your thoughts to large financial matters, like the coming and going of a bonus, settlement, assets, or investments.
♉ TAURUS April 20-May 20
Prepare for one of the most important weeks of the year with respect to your relationships, Taurus. This is truly a make-or-break moment. You’ve had many learning curves around significant partnerships in recent years, and while this period may not be quite as “intense” as some in recent memory, there could still be some shifts and surprises. This affects any significant union or negotiation that you’re in, regardless if it’s business or personal.
If you’re on the same page, it will certainly be a time of happy union. If not, you could split apart. Know what you want and stand up for it.
♊ GEMINI May 21-June 20
You’re moving and grooving in the fast lane now, Gemini. Life could be throwing a million routines, responsibilities, projects, and plans at you to juggle. On a positive note, you could be feeling like a well-oiled machine, as you create a fantastic productive rhythm. You truly could make remarkable progress on goals, especially in relation to employment or physical health.
If for some reason there’s sudden news around work or health that needs your attention, do so with grace. Connections with staff and coworkers could be helpful. If you are looking for a new job, now is a time to apply.
♋ CANCER June 21-July 22
May’s Full Flower Moon will draw attention to how passion is playing a role in your life now, Cancer. On a positive note, you could feel filled to the brim with excitement! Romance, true love, and dating are spotlit now. If you’d like to find someone special, harness this time and reach out to prospective suitors. Don’t hide your light under a basket!
Expressing yourself will echo in your soul! Hobbies, sports, and art could also fulfill you deeply now. This full Moon may draw attention to children, fertility, or pregnancy, so keep that in mind, too.
♌ LEO July 23-August 22
You’re diving into the depths of your inner world and emotions during this full Moon, Leo! This could make you especially reflective on the past, the foundation of your life, and what has been instrumental in the formation of your world view. This could feel very healing—or instead leave you lost in your “feels.”
This Full Moon also brings a lot of energy to family concerns, home matters, and real estate situations. For instance, some of you could move, renovate, or redecorate. Others could have a memorable moment with their kindred.
♍ VIRGO August 23-September 22
You could feel as if the wind is picking up beneath your wings, Virgo. Life could feel festive and social. You may also feel particularly inquisitive and curious about engaging with unique people and ideas. Connect with friends and have deep conversations to stimulate your mind!
This is an excellent time for travel, if you’d like to jet off to somewhere relatively close. Others of you could become involved in intellectual pursuits or communications-related endeavors, which could be quite invigorating.

♎ LIBRA September 23-October 22
Prepare for a turning point around financial matters, Libra. There may be finances coming in or going out! Don’t just expect for cash to manifest out of thin air, though. You need to get to work and find ways of monetizing. This could be an ideal time to ask for a raise, look for a new job, or find a side hustle.
If you aren’t careful, though, a heavy expense could pop up instead. It’s best to get a handle on your budget now.
♏ SCORPIO October 23-November 21
The entire universe will be turning to peer at what’s happening in your life now, Scorpio. Big changes that you’ve been building for six months or longer could finally be here. On a positive note, this could be a big victory moment personally or professionally. However, it could also just as likely be an ending that leads you in a new direction to a higher path.
Regardless, take this as a meaningful sign that you must stand in your power and trust your inner voice.
♐ SAGITTARIUS November 22-December 21
The upcoming Full Moon isn’t going to be a big time of action and adventure, Sagittarius. Instead, it’s better to lie low, recharge, and rest. You could feel a little drained at this time, so it would be good to get your annual check-up around physical or mental health.
Also, your spiritual side could be quite stimulated right now, leading you to profound revelations via meditation or creative intuition.
♑ CAPRICORN December 22-January 19
A very vibrant period of the year could be upon you, Capricorn. May’s Full Flower Moon will invigorate you with a need for connection, community, and friendship.
A very social time could present itself, with opportunities for mixers, parties, and events. If you’d like to spend extra special moments with your favorite pals, this would be a lovely period to do so!
Also, note that this Full Moon could open a door to a heartfelt aspiration, so draw up your vision board and know what your heart is calling for!
♒ AQUARIUS January 20-February 18
One of the most important periods of the year for your professional life may be upon you, Aquarius. However, it could swing one way or another. This all depends if you’ve been working hard and in the right lane.
Some of you could see a career breakthrough—like a prestigious job offer, award, or promotion. Others, however, could find that they face challenging reviews and feedback, so you may need to move in a new direction.
♓ PISCES February 19-March 20
Embrace a fresh perspective now, Pisces. You’ll be eager to soar! This Full Moon will shoot adrenaline through you to pursue new horizons, in whichever way you possibly can. For instance, you may be eager to expand your professional scope and engage in academics or new certifications.
You may find yourself more engaged with your spirituality in an effort to advance your soul’s journey. Also, many of you could be eager for travel and do so now.
