Scorpio Full Moon 2025

Moonday Musings on That Witch Podcast is a weekly astrological forecast show that brings you the cosmic energy of the week, and teaches you how you can work this energy into your intentions and spiritual practice.

These are the Astro News highlights for the week of May 19th-25th, 2025

Our main highlight this week is this big, bright, full moon in Scorpio that is happening Monday, May 12th, at 1255 p.m. Eastern Time. This full moon is at 22° Scorpio.

The full moon portal opened up on Saturday May 10th, just a couple of days ago, at 3.58 p.m. Eastern time when the moon moved into Scorpio. The moon will move into Sagittarius tomorrow, Tuesday, May 13th at 4.34 a.m. Eastern time, closing this full moon in Scorpio portal. 

This full moon already has a lot of fire energy very naturally associated with it every year because the full moon in Scorpio takes place during Taurus season, and Taurus season brings us Beltane in the northern hemisphere. Beltane is the mark of the beginning of summer. Taurus season is this window of time, this bridge, this portal and transition from spring into summer. In June, at the start of Cancer season we’ll have the Summer Solstice. Some of us look at Summer Solstice as being the beginning of summer, but in a lot of cultures, May Day Beltane marks the true beginning. Oor we can look at it as the beginning of the transition itself—moving from spring into summer.  

The full moon in Scorpio already has a lot of fire associated with it because of this transition from spring into summer energy, Beltane, and Beltane's fire. And then on top of that, Scorpio is traditionally ruled by Mars—a fire planet—so Scorpio, you bet your ass, very much so has its own type of fiery energy. Scorpio is fire-water or water-fire. Hot water 🔥💧 Maybe boiling water. Steam, even! 

You bring the astrology chart of this specific Scorpio Full Moon 2025 into the conversation and we really amp up the fire topic within the conversation. We have quite a few planets in Aries right now, along with planets getting ready to also finish their planetary cycle in Pisces and will soon also enter Aries. So there is a lot, a LOT of emphasis on this high emotional, intense emotional energy because water and fire are two elements that are very, very prominent right now. 

Isn’t it beautiful how all of this intense fire-water energy takes place during such an earthy zodiac season like Taurus? I like to think of it like the infinite energy of Mother Earth of Gaia that Taurus connects us to, that helps us hold space for allllll of this heat and steam. 

So for this full moon, I want you to take some time to—even if it's, three minutes out of your day—take three minutes to breathe through intensity. 

Any that you're naturally feeling, any intensity you've witnessed, any intensity that you're just sensing or picking up on. And if you're not necessarily feeling that intensity, then take some time to intentionally breathe in the essence of fire. Kind of let yourself channel some intensity. You can visualize a roaring fire. And as you breathe, maybe let yourself naturally feel the heat from those flames rising and rising and spreading within you. Take some time to just sit in intensity and breathe through it. 

Here's my purpose and intention behind this insight:

Intensity is one of those experiences that no matter how many times we have been faced with it, it feels like we can't possibly face it again. There's something about it that we resist. So create a safe space, an intentional space to purposefully sit in intensity you're experiencing or that's been brewing in you that you've been trying to avoid or you've been trying to dissipate. Let yourself just breathe in it. Just be present in it. 

Once you have given yourself some time here, perhaps visualize water pouring over the flames. Or maybe envision a big, cool, beautiful earth blanket that covers and snuffs out all the flames, and see the smoke and the steam rising afterward. Maybe you just see the flames die down. Or perhaps you concentrate all of the flames in your mind and condense them down into a single candle flame that you visualize yourself blowing out. Let this be either a physical movement and an intention of blowing something away from you in release.

This is an excellent week for keeping your eyes open and paying attention to the symbols and signs that the Universe is offering you. Take them, write them down, speak them to an open-minded spiritual friend. If you're in That Witch School, post about that in our Student Lounge on Mighty Networks. Pay attention to the signs, the symbols, the numbers you’ve been seeing, or these ✨feelings✨ you've been getting. Maybe there's been a smell that's been coming to you over and over again. Or a song that keeps getting stuck in your head. Pay attention to them. Write them down. Talk about them with somebody. Share them. Listen to those kinds of stories and experiences from others right now too. That's actually a wonderful way to honor the intentional silence of Scorpio—by listening. That can be listening to your spirit guides, the Universe, and that can be listening to others around you. 

This is a very, very profound full moon. And I strongly, strongly feel it’s part of some beautiful, sacred preparation work we're doing to head mindfully into Gemini season– where the volume, and the chatter, and the interaction are all going to naturally be turned up. So let yourself lean into the deep-feeling silence of this Scorpio Full Moon.
