The Flower Full Moon in Scorpio - The Importance of Self-Mothering

Full moon in Scorpio at 22 degrees May 12th 2025 12:55pm ET

The ending is here and it starts with trust.

The ending of what?

That thing you have in your mind as you read this line.

Trust that slow is right.

Trust that you are letting go of control to transmute into the more aligned thing- that’s not to say it feels easy or that your greatest fear may not happen around the thing that needs to change, but if it does -it is aiding in the change.

This is the full moon where we get to look deeply at the fears that hold us back from advancing towards what we’ve been steadily making our physical reality, it’s those subconscious thoughts that can really hinder our materialization of what we have been trying to create and now is the time to release what has been hidden in our own mental/emotional closet so we can move forward.

We have had Uranus in the sign of Taurus since 2018 and it has slowly being working on that area of our lives with an irreversible awakening.

With this full moon it is the last call before a shift into something new-

We will have to let go of the control we think we have and tell people what we are thinking and planning without thinking they want to hijack the situation. Being vulnerable is part of the journey and because peopling is part of the journey, despite what you think- you can’t do life alone, learning how to share the dark parts with people you are close to will only help your gains because it will help theirs too.

When we can examine these fears and insecurities, when we are willing to look at them and not hide from them by hiding them from others’ view, we become powerful, we transform into something unstoppable because no one can control us if we are not afraid of their control.

The following are what we call aspects- other planets relating to the full moon, helping us decode more specifically how this lunation could feel.

Aspects

Moon opposing Sun and Uranus: this aspect can bring up a sense of anxiety around feelings of the other shoe dropping, like you are waiting for your plans to be sabotaged. Maybe something unexpected does trigger this or maybe it doesn’t and yet you still may feel this anxiousness because things aren’t moving as quickly as you want them to. Taurus is a slow and steady presence and when you mix it with Uranus you get this energetic cocktail. Taurus also brings confidence and steadfastness-the ability to overcome challenge so solutions can come up during this time as well. Sometimes we can get insecure about how long things take us to accomplish but if we can repattern that into –“it is ok to take our time because sturdy foundational structure takes time”, we can really start to reframe and work through these self-limiting beliefs.   

Moon trine Saturn + north node/sextile the Sun: this is a positive aspect helping us with what we are trying to have come together at last. We are committed to what we are doing and the divine is on our side. It gives us confidence in our decisions and a knowing that they are the aligned ones where maybe in the past we weren’t confident they were.

Mars trine Venus: this aspect is lending more ease for taking action in aligning with our values. This can help us with how we handle both love and money in our lives.

Pluto square Mercury: supports us to address the things that have gone unsaid that caused communication issues- this can come up as arguments and over thinking about your plan going forward. This can hinder you in a way that the right message was never said or that the right people aren’t getting your message because you are not saying what needs to be said, you may have to go back and clearly, thoughtfully and slowly present what you need to say.  

This full moon in Scorpio is offering us the opportunity to go deep and feel things on a deeper than usual emotional level so we can get uncomfortable enough to figure out what exactly is causing us these fears and see that fears are only as tumultuous as they seem because they aren’t being faced and when they are they can be overcome because they are not as scary in the light. When you give up controlling and let go and allow what is to be you can then realize you’ll be fine.

Communicate more -as we move into Gemini season that is what we need to focus on.

Wishing you a moment of peace out in the sun, don’t hide.

n.joy,

Nicole
