Full Moon In Scorpio

Intimacy, shadow self, hidden thoughts, subconscious

We have a full moon in the sign of Scorpio on May 12th 2025. This moon is known as the flower moon as many flowers are blooming in the warm welcome of Spring as we push towards Summer. The flower moon represents blooming one what was once closed, an invitation to be open and allow for more flow. 

The energy of Scorpio can feel intense, hidden, and this is the perfect energy for diving into shadow work. Scorpio is one of the most emotionally deep signs of the Zodiac, a full moon in this position invites the purge of what you have been holding onto, both consciously and subconsciously. Particularly in the areas of intimacy, hidden thoughts and motives and in emotional exploration. 

One of the most basic rules of thumb I have for healing work is to match the energy of what I feel with an opposite action. If I am feeling a lack of intimacy in my life, If I feel disconnected, I reconnect with myself, I get intimate with myself. I do something to bridge that gap with myself. When I feel the sting of abandonment come up, I show up even harder for myself. I don't run away from the painful feelings, I stand up and hold my own hand. Taking charge is aligned with that heat of Scorpio, facing the shadows head on with courage is the very essence of what it is to be aligned with your higher self. Using this intensity of Scorpio, we can dive a little deeper into self, facing some of those more sensitive shadows connected to intimacy, hidden thoughts and emotional intensity. 

Here are your shadow work prompts for this full moon:
