Tomorrow May 12th, 2025, at 9:56am PT the Moon will wax Full at 22°12 minutes of deep, dark, intense, mysterious, unrelenting and transformative Scorpio. The run up to this full moon has been very trying, dredging up secrets and filled with emotions uncovered in the hidden depths of ours and others’ psyches, exposing them to the blinding light of Truth. Scorpio, ruled by secretive, vengeful, and unyielding Pluto and a higher octave of dramatic warlike Mars in Traditional Astrology, doesn’t do chitchat, small talk, superficialities, control dramas or surface-level issues. Scorpio goes beyond the jugular straight for the Soul. Its surgical approach is excoriating, devastating, laser precise, with no numbing, no anesthesia, no explanation and certainly no apologies. Uncover, Discover, and Discard are Watchwords.
Opposing the Sun at 22° of earthy, sensual, loyal, intractable, determined, and sensual Taurus, this Full Moon can stick us between a rock and a hard place in that precarious balancing act desiring stability, and continuity, fueled by wishful thinking and denial, OR giving in to Surrender and Release. There is a beneficial aspect or Trine between Taskmaster Status Quo oriented Saturn in its very very ultimate and oh so Karmic Degrees of muddied, empathetic, occluded, quicksand like, psychic Pisces, and Voilà ! Now we’ll have a rare opportunity, a window into the Soul in order to tear down illusions, release toxicity, unrealistic expectations, imaginary or unhealthy relationship, and self serving agendas. We can restore or rebuild stronger goals, implement healthier boundaries and cast away poisonous illusions, anger, fear, resentment, and assorted mental dross to the Four Corners of the Earth. The Sky Worlds Above are the Limit with Pluto in Revolutionary Aquarius. Finance/ Romance oriented Venus and very lucky greater Benefic Jupiter will proffer some windfalls, assorted riches or payoffs, and hidden blessings for those brave souls willing to accept life on life‘s terms and to accept reality versus fantasy as the reward for determination, hard work, and true grit.
The May 2025 no nonsense Full Moon in Still-waters run deep Scorpio will make an astrological aspect or quincunx to Jupiter. Intuitive or spiritual astrology would indicate that this is a major shift, which can cleanse or also rebalance/realign your Destiny or Karma. Beneficial fixed Star energies are positively connected to the brightest star in the Constellation Serpens, UNUKALHAI. This is from the Arabic ‘unnuq Al-hayyah AKA “The Serpent’s Neck”. It was also the “Cor Serpentis “ in Latin, “Heart of the Serpent” of ancient astrology. Heart of the Snake may gift or reward you for good deeds or past lifetime generosity or present powerful and transformative opportunities in order to repay or to atone for prior indiscretions and misdeeds. Therefore we can see benefit or loss, riches or privation, peace or controversy, praise or blame, scandal or redemption, fame or infamy; THE CHOICE IS OURS in a Free Will Universe.
In brief, this full moon is another turning point, an uncovering, discovering and discarding of negativity, lies, deception, and anti-life policies in play across so much of the planet today. Use this full moon to eliminate any person, place or things in your life that no longer serve and can no longer be sustained. They will be matched by so many upcoming opportunities and Undreamed of Possibilities. We can hope for the best. Namaste
