Water I Fixed I Feminine

The Full Moon in Scorpio will occur on May 12, 2025, at 22°13' Scorpio. This celestial event promises intensity, penetrable focus and transformation, as Scorpio's energy is deeply tied to emotional depth and renewal.

🌟 The Full Moon in Scorpio is a time of culmination and release. Scorpio, ruled by Pluto, governs transformation, secrets, and the unseen. This full moon invites us to confront our deepest fears, embrace change, and let go of what no longer serves us. It's a powerful moment for emotional breakthroughs and spiritual growth.

💡 Secrets may come to light personally or on the public stage. Given Scorpio's association with the underground and sex, they could be in these areas - rape and sexual abuse, underhand dealings or the like.

Scorpio is a water sign that represses emotions, leading to an inner pressure. Feeling so much, so strongly can pour into passionate displays or intensity and intimacy, or lead to self-destructive actions and the pain of betrayal.

The goal is always to kill what does not serve the soul. An act of finality is death. The hope is then to resurge / rebirth like the phoenix strengthened anew.

The shadow side of Scorpio

Scorpio's shadow side includes traits like jealousy, possessiveness, and obsession. When triggered, Scorpio can become manipulative or vindictive, holding onto grudges and seeking control. As a fixed sign, such feelings can blister and fester long after the initial peak.

While death may sound like a scary word. It's a necessary one for Scorpio. The transformation from death to rebirth is what builds Scorpio's power.
