♏ Scorpio Full Moon: The Power of Shedding Skin
This Full Moon is not just a moment of emotional release—it’s a moment of spiritual coherence. The cosmos and the cards agree: You are not the old self. You’re not the one who clung, dimmed, or split yourself to survive. You’re the one choosing integration. You’re choosing sacred power—not power over, but power with the World.
Let your heart be the tuning fork for what’s next.
“I am not who I was. I am who I choose to be now.”
The Scorpio Full Moon calls us to the underworld of our own psyches. Scorpio is the fixed water sign that governs transformation, secrets, power, and emotional intensity. What we suppress can no longer stay hidden. Under this lunation, expect raw truths to surface—personal or relational—and old attachments to demand release. Change is stressful. And stress changes us when our drive for security would have us stay where we are, not fully emerged from the bud or shell, still unopened to all we can be.
Later in the morning, Mercury squares Pluto, sharpening our minds and intensifying conversations. Be mindful of control dynamics or mental spirals. Use this energy for journaling, truth-telling, or strategizing through shadow.
By evening, the Moon trines the North Node, pointing toward our future path, followed by a Moon-Uranus opposition, shaking us loose from stagnant emotional patterns. What disrupts you may also be your liberation. Close the day with the Moon trine Saturn, offering a stabilizing presence—wisdom that grounds us after emotional intensity.
Full Moon Mantra:
I am safe to shed what no longer serves. I stand in my sacred truth, rooted in presence, open to transformation.
🃏 Tarot Insight: Recalibrating Reality
The Scorpio Full Moon on Monday, May 12 invites deep emotional alchemy. Scorpio asks us to surrender what no longer serves, confront the unconscious attachments we cling to, and embrace transformation with courage. As we stand at a crossroads of past and future, the stars and cards conspire to midwife our next becoming.
The World card symbolizes completion, synthesis, and mastery. It speaks to the moment when multiple possibilities shift into one actualized timeline. This card affirms you’re integrating vast cycles of learning—especially around power, perspective, and truth. As Mercury squares Pluto, you’re prompted to let go outdated interpretations of stories and anchor new ones. Speak with intention. Thoughts are collapsing into reality now—what are you choosing to believe?
Affirmation: “I close the old loop with gratitude. I am ready to speak my new world into being.”
🏽 Body: Four of Pentacles — Stability Not Scarcity
This earthy card often signals clinging—whether to resources, safety, or identity. Under this Scorpio Moon’s demand for surrender, this card highlights where the body may brace against change. The Moon opposite Uranus adds the pressure of disruption, asking: Can you root yourself without grasping? Can you feel safe in the unknown?
Practice: Breathe into your hips and feet. Loosen your grip. Invite safety from within, not from control.
The Key: Our body registers collapse of old patterns first. Regulation allows you to meet uncertainty with presence, not panic. Let yourself be confused, don’t rush to act. The body knows the way – slow down and feel it.
❤️ Heart: Queen of Wands — Magnetic Confidence & Coherence
She’s fiery, radiant, and sovereign. The Queen of Wands trusts her magic and leads from embodied presence. This aligns beautifully with Venus sextile Mars and Saturn-Ceres, where heart-aligned boundaries and authentic magnetism are emphasized. Emotionally, this Full Moon teaches: You don’t have to dim or dominate—just stay rooted in your truth, and let your warmth do the work.
Core Principle: When thoughts, feelings, and actions are in agreement, the heart generates a measurable electromagnetic pull that matches or compliments your present state. You don’t need to chase—just align.
🔮 Spirit: Two of Pentacles — Emergent Pathways
This card reflects the dance of duality—managing competing energies while staying flexible and present. Spiritually, you may feel stretched between timelines, desires, or responsibilities. This echoes the Saturn-Uranus sextile and upcoming Jupiter-Chiron-Nodal tensions. You are being asked to balance without burnout, to flow without fragmentation.
Key Insight: You’re surfing multiple potentials. Discernment comes from grounded experimentation, not overthinking.
Spiritual Prompt: Which responsibilities are soul-chosen? Which are inherited, habitual, or outdated?

Astrology – who’s talking and what’s being said
🌟 Venus Sextile Mars: Harmonious Self-Assertion
This sensual, energizing aspect invites us to move beyond oppositional dynamics and into co-creative flow. Venus (relating, harmony, value) and Mars (action, will, drive) are in perfect sync, supporting collaborative partnerships and passionate pursuits. With both Saturn and Neptune hovering at the 0° Aries point—alongside Chiron and Eris—we’re asked to assert ourselves not from wounded ego, but from a healed center. The wound no longer drives the conversation as you evolve into your integrated whole self.
Are you ready to explore the power of connection where both Self and Other are honored equally?
May you be the one who witnesses your own becoming.
May you create the conditions for compassion,
not perfection.
May your presence be the quiet revolution
that turns power into grace.
🌀 Saturn Sextile Uranus + Saturn-Ceres Conjunction: Resilience Through Practice
The Saturn-Uranus sextile supports innovative change through steady investment. Growth comes not from impulsive leaps, but from the daily commitment to showing up differently. What you choose to give your time to now sets the foundation for long-term return.
When Saturn conjoins Ceres, the asteroid of nurturing, the message is clear: it’s time to set firm boundaries, care for yourself with loving discipline, and let others carry their own responsibilities. Practicing presence, not control, is your new superpower.
Add to this the lingering Saturn-North Node in Pisces influence, and you have a moment ripe for learning through emotional courage. Allow yourself to get it wrong, and keep showing up. That’s the path to wisdom.
When you stop defending your old stories, you create space for a new chapter to begin.
💫 Chariklo and the Sacred Space of Healing
The Sun and Moon square Chariklo, the asteroid of subtle healing and sacred holding. Her medicine is not loud or forceful. She teaches us to bear witness—to sit with, not fix; to spin grace from the tangled knots of life.
This square calls us to embody presence as an act of healing. Can you hold yourself in grace while you unravel? Can you make it safe to make mistakes, learn, and reweave your story with compassion?
Lyrical Invitation:
Spin with me a new kind of power—
not the sword but the sanctuary.
Not the winner, but the witness.
Not the perfect, but the present.
Here in sacred space,
we learn to be free.
Full Moon Reflection: Collaborative Power is Sacred Power
We are being ushered into a new relational paradigm—not just with others, but with ourselves. This month, the skies remind us: When we practice radical self-responsibility, tender boundaries, and emotional honesty, we become sacred space-holders—for ourselves, for each other, for the world.
May you be the one who witnesses your own becoming.
May you create the conditions for compassion,
not perfection.
May your presence be the quiet revolution
that turns power into grace.
Thank you,
