The new full moon will rise in the early hours of Tuesday, May 13th, and with it will bring an ’emotional rollercoaster’ and ‘big feelings’, astrologers claim. 

The ‘flower moon’ in Scorpio will provide a ‘potent opportunity for transformation’, Australian astrologist Rose Smith tells FEMAIL, but warns most will be in for a ‘wild ride’. 

‘Scorpio’s fixed water energy is all about digging deep and getting into the nitty-gritty of our emotions. All areas of life are on the cards including relationships, careers, and personal growth,’ she said, adding the moon won’t let you ‘hide from the tough stuff’.

‘This lunation tends to bring deep feelings to the surface, whether you’re ready or not! It’s a time when buried truths, unresolved tensions, and even unspoken desires can bubble up, demanding attention.’

Ms Smith, who runs the largest psychic network based in the southern hemisphere, Absolute Soul Secrets, said while this full moon may stir up intense emotions, it also offers a chance for a powerful release.  

‘This Scorpio moon is asking you to let go of what no longer serves. That might mean cutting ties, letting go of old wounds, or even just having a good cry – or a passionate moment – to clear the air,’ she said.

Ms Smith notes that while all zodiac signs will feel Scorpio’s influence, other water signs (Cancer and Pisces) and fixed signs (Taurus, Leo, and Aquarius) are likely to experience it more intensely.

‘As it lights up the night sky, it invites us all to embark on a journey of self-discovery and transformation. Embrace the chance to shed old patterns and step into a more authentic version of yourself,’ she said.

Traditionally, the flower moon marks a time to celebrate the abundance of spring in the northern hemisphere. But in 2025, Ms Smith said its deep meaning offers an invitation to get in touch with authenticity.

‘The Sabian Symbol for this lunation is a bunny metamorphosed into a fairy. It adds softness and magic – and reminds us that strength can emerge from vulnerability, not just grit. This is a chance to confront buried emotions and create space for personal growth,’ Ms Smith said.

To harness this energy, she suggests activities like journalling, meditation, or cleansing rituals to help process emotions and support transformation.​

Another major astrological shift will arrive on May 25th, when Saturn transitions into Aries, beginning a new 29-year cycle. 

‘Saturn’s role is to make things real – so this is pretty much a point of no return,’ Ms Smith said. 

‘Whatever seeds are planted this month will shape the foundations of the decades ahead. It’s time to embrace discipline, responsibility, and the start of long-term projects. When Saturn changes sign, it will be a sensitive but very potent time.

Taurus (April 20 to May 20)

This Full Moon brings a much-needed reset in your thinking and conversation patterns, especially regarding important relationships. If you’ve been feeling misunderstood in committed relationships, this Full Moon will help clear up the emotions around that. A conversation could also reach a turning point, helping you get things off your chest or gain a fresh perspective. With Mars firing up your home and family house, you might feel more driven to assert yourself with family. You could also feel more energised around the home to get all those odd jobs done. Do ensure you’re choosing your battles wisely. Speak your truth – just keep it cool.

Gemini (May 21 to June 20)

Now there’s a spotlight on your daily life, routines and wellbeing. If you’ve been pushing through fatigue, ignoring your body’s signals or juggling too much, it might all catch up with you now. This is your chance to step back, take stock and figure out what’s actually working – and what’s just clutter. Something about your work or health could reach a turning point, and it’s your job to sort the useful from the useless. You might feel emotionally stretched between responsibilities and your own inner needs. Mars in your communication zone could make conversations a bit punchy, so go easy on others (and yourself). The goal now is sustainability in your schedule, your energy levels and your mindset.

Cancer (June 21 to July 22)

Now your creativity, self-expression and romantic pursuits are being highlighted. This is your moment to let your heart lead, shedding any creative blocks or emotional baggage that’s been holding you back. You might feel drawn to break free from restrictive patterns in relationships or rediscover your passion for a hobby or project. You could also enjoy more pleasure and leisure time now. Mars lights up some money matters, so you could feel driven to improve your finances. Alternatively, you might just realise your own self-worth and change your personal values a little bit. Don’t resist the urge to let go of anything that no longer fits your vision of ‘deservability’ and financial success.

Libra (September 23 to October 22)

Your finances and personal values are being highlighted, bringing up any hidden fears or insecurities about money and self-worth to the surface. If you’ve been holding onto beliefs or behaviours around finances that no longer serve you, this is your chance to release them. Mars activates your friendships and connections. You are being encouraged to take bold actions and expand your social and professional networks. It’s also a powerful time for letting go of financial habits that are holding you back. Embrace the new – your value isn’t tied to your bank account, but it might be time to rethink your approach to both these.

Scorpio (October 23 to November 21)

Now there’s a powerful closure to a personal chapter. It could mark the end of a way of being, thinking or relating to others that no longer serves you. This is to do with a new beginning for you and the way you present yourself to the world could be involved. There’s also an emotional culmination coming up regarding career or public life thanks to Mars. You could be feeling an intense urge to release a career or aspects of relationships with authority figures. It’s time to let go of what you’ve outgrown and prepare for a fresh start. Your personal evolution is a constant process, and this Full Moon supports your growth.

Sagittarius (November 22 to December 21)

This month brings an enlightening time from deep in your subconscious. Be on the lookout for insights and wisdom from deep within. It’s likely that subconscious beliefs will come up for re-evaluation and release. You can heal the past now so that you can move forward with a clean slate. You might also update your hopes, dreams and aspirations. These changes are further amplified by Mars is energising your ability to learn, be adventurous and seek new horizons. Perhaps there’s travel, a new course or some higher education you’re thinking about? If you’re feeling restless, this is a sign that it’s time for change. Embrace the new and let go of the outdated.

Capricorn (December 22nd to January 19)

This Full Moon spotlights your friendships and social circles, Capricorn, so expect your group dynamics and sense of belonging to reach a turning point. You might realise some connections feel off, while others deserve extra attention. At the same time, your hopes and long-term dreams could shift—what you once aimed for might no longer excite you. Mars is firing up your zone of deep transformation, urging you to ditch anything that’s left you feeling drained or stuck. Whether it’s an intimate relationship, a joint financial situation, or old emotional baggage, now’s the time to let go and make space for what truly nourishes you. Say goodbye to the past and hello to a more liberated, authentic future.

Aquarius (January 20th to February 18)

This Full Moon illuminates your career, public life and long-term goals. Expect some career or public recognition to come your way, or alternatively, you might feel the need to release an old work situation that no longer aligns with your values. You might also find there’s a spotlight on relationships with authority figures – think employers, parents and the like. Mars is also energising your house of relationships and it’s asking you to act boldly when it comes to committed partnerships. Whether it’s a new connection or a shift in an existing one, this is a time for change. Will it be deeper and stronger or a make-or-break situation? Embrace the new and let go of the outdated.

Pisces (February 19 to March 20)

This Scorpio Full Moon lights up your adventure and learning zone. Big ideas and fresh perspectives call your name now. Maybe you’re planning a trip, enrolling in a course, or questioning beliefs that feel outdated. You’re eager to expand, but Mars in Leo isn’t so helpful. Your daily routines, well-being or work create resistance to any expansion plans. You may feel frustrated by chores, emails or health to-dos that clash with your desire for adventure. Take some small achievable steps daily. These will help you honour both your grand ideas and the need for structure. By balancing bold exploration with simple routines, you’ll transform inspiration into real results and feel energised rather than overwhelmed.
