The Flower Moon 2025, due to reach full illumination on May 12, is poised to bring profound emotional shifts and revelations for each zodiac sign.

Full Moon in May: When and Where to Watch

According to astronomical data from the U.S. Naval Observatory, the Flower Moon 2025 will reach its peak at 12:56 p.m. ET on May 12, though the moon will appear full on the evenings of May 11 through May 13, as per a report by ABC news.

The name "Flower Moon" stems from seasonal blooms that characterize May, and is widely used in Native American and colonial traditions.

Scorpio’s Influence: Emotion, Power, and Reckoning

This year's Full Moon in May falls in Scorpio, a zodiac sign governed by transformation, shared resources, and emotional intensity.

Celebrity astrologer Kyle Thomas notes that the moon’s alignment will uncover buried truths and demand reflection.

“This moon scorches rather than soothes. It asks what must be laid to rest—not to be forgotten, but to make room for what’s honest and new,” said Thomas, as quoted in a report by ABC news.

With Scorpio’s domain encompassing intimacy, financial entanglements, and the subconscious, many may experience revelations around relationships, secrets, and inner fears.

“Investments, inheritances, and unresolved emotions may be brought to the surface,” added Thomas.
