MOVING FORWARD BY LETTING GO
On May 12, 2025, the Full Moon in Scorpio rises at 22°, illuminating what lies beneath the surface. This is no ordinary lunation—it comes with the raw, alchemical force of transformation. The May 2025 Full Moon opposes Uranus and trines Saturn, while Pluto, ruler of Scorpio, stands at its station—amplifying truth, stripping illusion, and shaking loose whatever clings to the past.
Scorpio is the sign of death and rebirth, of emotional intensity, depth, and uncompromising honesty. It doesn’t do surface-level. It pulls you under, into the marrow of who you are, so you can rise lighter, freer, and more whole. Under this Moon, you’re invited to move forward—but not before you let go.
The Reckoning
Uranus opposes the Full Moon, rattling what is false and unstable. Wherever you’ve clung to safety through control or performance, it begins to crack. Uranus does not ask for permission—it liberates by force when necessary. What’s artificial will fall away. What no longer aligns with your truth will resist being held.
Meanwhile, Pluto—modern ruler of Scorpio—is stationary and more potent than ever. It demands transformation, not just change. There is a difference. Transformation is permanent. It’s cellular. It doesn’t ask who you were—it reveals who you are beneath the layers.
This Full Moon feels like a mirror held up to the soul. What are you still performing? What values, identities, or beliefs you adopted to win love, approval, or safety—but are no longer yours? These masks, once necessary, they now suffocate and it’s time to shed them.
The Root of Belonging
So much of what we call “identity” you learn—values, priorities, the way we show up in relationships, the goals we chase. These patterns helped us feel a sense of belonging. But true belonging does not come from fitting in—it comes from being found, first, by yourself.
This Scorpio Moon unearths the difference. It asks you to dig deeper than old stories. To get honest, to see clearly what was never yours to carry, and to recognise how your past has shaped you—but not defined you.
Saturn’s trine to the Moon offers the grounding to support this release. It helps crystallise what truly matters and what structures need to shift to support the life you now feel ready to claim.
The Leap Forward
Full Moons are culminations. In Scorpio, this one is a threshold. The only way is through. Through the fear of letting go, the discomfort of being seen without a mask, and the unknown that comes after release.
But this is how you move forward. Not with force, but with clarity. Not by rushing, but by stripping back what’s in the way.
You are not who you were. The old version of you served a purpose—but the time has come to thank it and let it go. What’s next, you will not build it on borrowed values or external approval, but on the truth of who you are.
As Uranus shocks the system and Pluto rewires it, allow what no longer resonates to fall away. You don’t need to cling to what’s fading. You need to welcome the new.
May 2025 Full Moon in Scorpio: Moving Forward by Letting Go
The May 2025 Full Moon in Scorpio is not here to comfort you—it’s here to free you. To strip you down to your essence. To show you that what remains is more than enough.
Change is not a moment. It’s a constant. What you release now makes space for a more authentic future. A future you build not on who you should be—but on who you already are, once you release the artifice.
Let this Moon break what must be broken. Awaken the parts of you that are tired of pretending. Let it remind you: the most powerful thing you can be is true.
Release. Realign. Move forward.
