May's Full Moon Is Pure Chaos And 4 Zodiac Signs Are In For A Major Turning Point

Spring is in the air, and so is another exciting lunation!

Nicknamed the Flower Moon, this month's full moon rises on May 12 at 9:55 a.M. PT. While this exact time marks its peak, the moon will appear full as early as May 9 and start to wane around May 16.

This time span is notable not only astronomically, but also astrologically as its effects will be significantly felt within each of us regardless of our zodiac signs. This lunation's cosmic energy will radiate in the weeks surrounding its peak.

May's full moon sits in Scorpio (12 degrees), meaning the themes associated with this Water sign — such as intimacy, sexuality, the shadow self and the occult — will be "thrust upon the global stage," celebrity astrologer Kyle Thomas tells PEOPLE exclusively.

"Full moons in Scorpio bring great attention to how we share resources in our lives and within the world," he puts forth. "Striking a balance between what we give and receive will be extremely important and any imbalances within these themes will be tremendously important to face."

Thomas adds, "Investments, assets, and large money matters will be rocked by this full moon."

There are several astrological aspects coloring this lunation due to planetary formation, including the moon's opposition with Uranus. "This means chaos, sudden surprises and random twists of fate are likely to pop up near this time," he says.

"Some people could win big, while others end on the losing side. We must beware of impulsivity, accidents, recklessness and breakdowns," he explains. "People will be emotionally on edge because of this and we could feel quite triggered."

May's full moon is in a distant applying aspect to both Saturn (the planet of strength) and Neptune (the planet of spirituality), which Thomas says "should aid some of us in trying to find a cool, calm, and sensitive approach to handling whatever pops up."

Meanwhile, Pluto (the planetary ruler of this lunation) will be aligned with various planets yet directly square Mercury, which Thomas predicts "could cause power struggles or intensity around the mind and communications."

The co-ruler of this lunation is Mars, which will be in a perfect trine with Venus. "If we focus on leading with love in regard to relationships, pleasure, joy and romance, we will likely enjoy this time very much," he shares.

"May's lunation will bring intense awareness to how you share, give and receive in your important relationships," predicts Thomas.

For single Cancers, this could very well bring a soulmate connection to you, while committed ones may find that the spark is hot once again with their long-term partner," Thomas continues.

"This full moon could feel quite difficult for you, as you are forced to face your past, your baggage, your anxieties and your fears," he shares. "It will draw attention to how you have been leading your mental and physical health — so if something seems amiss, address it." "Some Sagittarians will also find that secrets or scandals emerge at this time that are karmic in nature and they are forced to face the music," adds Thomas. "The best thing to do now is to take a step back, meditate and listen to your intuition." Capricorn (Dec. 21-Jan. 19) Capricorn. Turn your attention to your pals, Capricorn. "A significant turning point around your friendships and social circle could be right around the corner," predicts Thomas. "As the full moon energizes this area of your life, you could attend a major event, network up a storm or find that a friend steps in to aid you reach a heartfelt personal goal," he says.

These 4 Zodiac Signs Will Be Feeling It The Most During The 2025 Full Flower Moon

Rise and shine, folks — the full flower moon in Scorpio is upon us, and with it comes the summons to turn over the soil of ourselves so that the new can come through.

The full moon peaks today at 12:56 p.M. EST at 22 degrees of Scorpio, and the powerful vibrations of this moon will be felt for three days before and henceforth.

While we'll all be under the influence of this powerful lunation, four signs will feel the effects most acutely.

Read on for your sun and rising signs.

Taurus is one of the affected signs. Provectors – stock.Adobe.Com

Ahoy, Taurus! The full flower moon in Scorpio comes beaming and blooming into your seventh house of trusted partnerships.

With the sun in your sign, it would be easy and certainly preferable to evade depth and darkness by smelling the roses, drinking nectar, sunbathing nude, and skirting the difficult — but remember my beautiful bull brethren, shallow roots don't hold.

This full moon is a gift and a summons to dig beneath the surface and do the hard thing.

Though its modern definition can feel aggressive, the word confront comes from the Medieval Latin confrontare, meaning "assign limits to; adjoin."

In this sense, coming clean, speaking true and creating healthy boundaries are not acts of provocation —but conduits for deeper connection.

Leo will also be feeling some type of way this week. Provectors – stock.Adobe.Com

In fellow Leo Mark Doty's brutal, beautiful memoir "Heaven's Coast," he writes that to make something familiar is to make it bearable.

With the moon in Scorpio ricocheting in your fourth house or root systems and apron strings, Leo, I wonder what kind of unbearable weight could be lightened by getting closer to it?

Be it a memory, a relative, or a relic — real or imagined — what can be gained and lost by getting within it rather than living underneath it?

Scorpios will also be affected. Provectors – stock.Adobe.Com

Hello Scorpio, this full moon is illuminating and amplifying your first house of the self. With Mars and Pluto squaring your sign, you may be subjected to power struggles and/or a crisis of character.

As fixed water, you prefer pulling the strings to being the star of the show, yet this moon asks you to consider why and when you shy away from expressing the power of your full potential.

This full moon offers a light in the proverbial dark, showing you not what's expected of you — but what is possible for you.

Chin up, t–s out, turned on — tuned in and born deserving.

And so will those who are an Aquarius. Provectors – stock.Adobe.Com

Spring hath sprung, Aquarius, and the full flower moon is illuminating and pollenating your tenth house of profession and legacy.

While you're a community-minded sign, more interested in distributing power than wielding it, remember that leadership at its highest expression is sacred service.

Heed the words of author and activist Aung San Suu Kyi, "It is not power that corrupts but fear. Fear of losing power corrupts those who wield it, and fear of the scourge of power corrupts those who are subject to it."

Wear power like a loose garment, without fear or force.
