To begin with, remember that the Full Moon is the moment when we reap what we sowed during the New Moon, which was on April 13th. It’s the perfect time to make a Full Moon wish to attract abundance, succeed in your projects, or improve your relationships.

Full Moon of May 12: Understanding Its Impact on Your Inner World

During a Full Moon, the Sun and Moon are positioned directly opposite each other, creating a full illumination of our satellite. This May Full Moon places the Sun in the sign of Taurus (stable, sensual, grounded in the tangible), while the Moon shines at 22°13 in the astrological sign of Scorpio (intense, mysterious, transformative).

This opposition between the two celestial bodies falls on the 2/8 astrological axis. In practical terms, the Sun in Taurus (2nd House) represents our personal resources, values, and material security, while the Moon in Scorpio (8th House) symbolizes shared resources, emotional inheritance, and deep transformations. It’s the axis of possession and letting go, of having and sharing.

The 8th House, strongly linked to Scorpio, governs the realms of deep intimacy, taboos, crises and transformations, and all that is hidden or occult. It also represents inheritances, sexuality, and the power we share with others.

📍 When the Full Moon lights up the sign of Scorpio, it’s the ideal time for introspection and emotional cleansing. There’s no point in hiding behind appearances or suppressing your deep feelings. This phase encourages you to face your fears, unearth your secrets, and free yourself from toxic attachments that hinder your growth.

If you feel particularly intense emotions during this period (which is very likely), consider them as messengers guiding you toward the areas of your life that require transformation or healing.

A Full Moon in Scorpio: Revelations and Transformation 🌕

On May 12, the Full Moon in Scorpio is enhanced by a Sextile between Uranus in Taurus and Saturn–North Node in Pisces, creating a climate conducive to spiritual revelations and intuitive breakthroughs. This configuration supports a balance between innovation (Uranus) and structure (Saturn), allowing you to radically transform certain aspects of your life while maintaining a solid foundation.

Mercury in Taurus forms a Square with Pluto, Scorpio’s ruler, intensifying our communications and pushing us to express truths we usually keep hidden. This is no coincidence! This celestial dynamic clearly signals that it’s time to name your fears, express your deepest desires, and communicate with authenticity—even if it means addressing difficult or taboo subjects.

This celestial setup also offers a deeply transformative dimension. The link between the North Node and this Full Moon gives you a rare opportunity to break free from limiting emotional patterns of the past. It’s as if the stars are handing you a key to unlock the doors of your inner prison, inviting you to embrace a more authentic and empowered version of yourself.

To amplify this transformative energy, the Full Moon strengthens your connection to the unseen, sharpening your intuition and sensitivity to subtle energies. Expect more vivid dreams, meaningful synchronicities, and moments of intuitive clarity that will guide you toward your next stage of evolution.

If you know your birth chart, try to identify in which astrological house the Moon is placed. By doing so, you will get more precise details about which area of your life will be most influenced by the lunar aspect, complementing the general information we have already described. For example, if the Moon is in your 2nd House, it will be necessary to reflect on and, if necessary, reorganize your finances, meditate on your accomplishments, and reevaluate what possessions are really necessary.

For example:
If Virgo occupies your 10th house, this eclipse highlights your career, ambitions, and professional life. You may need to be more precise, reliable, and detail-focused in your work. Additionally, achieving work-life balance becomes essential, encouraging you to make changes to support both your career and personal well-being.

🌕 What is the spiritual purpose of a Full Moon: Reward or Enlightenment?

The Full Moon can be a reward or the beginning of a reward; we know we're on the right path or on the road to success. On the other hand, if you've been passive or mistaken in your initiatives during the New Moon, the Full Moon can act as an illumination, a revelation, a clarification, or even a crisis, enabling you to reorient yourself and act differently afterward.


📍 What does the Full Moon represent?

This critical lunar event occurs once a month and is proven to have very powerful effects on us. Indeed, it particularly modifies our sleeping patterns, in fact, some studies even suggest that the Full Moon is linked to insomnia. Furthermore, it also increases the number of births. Now, astrologically speaking, the Full Moon represents the perfect time to reap the rewards of the New Moon.

Following on from the last point above, the Full Moon can be a time for reward if you have given things your all during the New Moon cycle, plus, it is also synonymous with knowing whether you are on the right path to success. However, on the other hand, if you were passive and lazy during the New Moon cycle, in this instance, the Full Moon, therefore, acts as an enlightenment phase, it can also symbolize revelation, clarification, or even a crisis, which allows you to reorient yourself and act differently afterward.

FAQ: Special Full Moon

You often send us your questions through the comments or on social media, so here’s a selection of the most frequently asked ones. Feel free to leave your own questions—we’d love to hear them!

What effects does the Full Moon have?

Beyond the myths of werewolves and wild folklore, the moon’s influence on both humans and nature is very real. Full Moons are known to disrupt sleep, increase irritability and nervous energy, and even coincide with an uptick in childbirths.

Does the Full Moon affect childbirth? 🤰

With its cycle mirroring the female menstrual cycle, the Moon has long symbolized fertility. Because lunar gravity influences ocean tides, some believe it may also influence amniotic fluid and the timing of water breaking. However, no scientific data clearly supports an increase in childbirth during Full Moons.

Strong connections with nature 🏞️

There’s no denying it—the Full Moon impacts the tides. Because water responds to lunar gravity, the Moon’s position determines the ebb and flow of the ocean. When the Sun, Earth, and Moon are aligned during a Full Moon, the tides become significantly more extreme. And yes, green thumbs swear by lunar gardening! The Moon can influence planting, seeding, and plant growth. However, the Full Moon itself doesn’t directly affect vegetation—it’s more about timing within the lunar cycle.

What’s the difference between the Full Moon and New Moon?

While the Full Moon appears brightly illuminated from Earth (thanks to sunlight), the New Moon is not visible because it's positioned between the Earth and the Sun. A Super Moon, according to NASA, occurs when the Moon is both at its closest point to Earth and fully illuminated, making it appear larger than usual.

In lunar calendars, the Full Moon is represented with a white circle, while a black circle symbolizes the New Moon. See for yourself by checking out our Lunar Calendar, which provides all the Full and New Moon dates throughout the year.

Susan Taylor’s insights: Don't lose sight of your goals

The Full Moon is a strong moment in terms of energies, it is an enlightenment, a revelation, in short, a very strong moment during which we can be turned upside down or receive the best news. We usually reap what we sow at the New Moon, so it is good to ask ourselves: what did you do at the New Moon? For what results? Did you receive what you expected? How do you feel? This is also the best time to consult a clairvoyant in order to benefit from the illumination of the Full Moon and the clairvoyant in question. Don't wait to make an appointment with one of our experts, they will enlighten your future with gentleness and kindness.
