4 Zodiac Signs Need To Be Extra Careful During The Scorpio Full Moon On May 12
The Scorpio Full Moon is especially intense for these astrological signs.

Four zodiac signs need to be especially careful during the Scorpio Full Moon on May 12, 2025, which will feel like a roller coaster ride for all fixed signs. The Moon will be in opposition to Uranus, which can add a level of uncertainty to the mix. Surprises are on the way, which can make us more emotional and reactive.
Focus on calmness, patience, and meditation if possible. While the Mars and Pluto opposition is still in action, it will not be as potent compared to the week before, which makes it easier to appreciate the message without having to endure any more surprises. This powerful energy can feel like a double-edged sword for fixed signs since they will feel the Full Moon’s impact the most. Nevertheless, through hard work and patience, they can create something magnificent that will continue over the next several years. The intensity of these lessons will help us all evolve, and with Taurus season still here, discovering our own little treasure troves is part of this ongoing and important story.
