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.

Aquarius, you need to be careful during the Full Moon in Scorpio on May 12 since things will feel a little intense with the Full Moon occurring at the lowest point in your chart, pushing you to deal with any internalized emotions. Find ways to release it through journaling or meditation. How have your relationships changed over the last year? Who are the people that mean the most to you? These are the questions that will be on your mind.
With Venus making a sextile to your sign and a trine to Mars, this can be a very good opportunity to work through any problems that may arise within your relationships. The Full Moon is contributing to your transformation, but Venus adds another element of joy with the prospects that may be headed your way with love. Even if you are in a relationship, love begins to take a new meaning with Mars in your partnership house transforming your views. Saturn grounds the Moon, adding room for growth and maturity.
Pluto retrograde reminds you that hard work will be needed to preserve and grow your connections. Meanwhile, the Full Moon helps you move on from a history that may have its grasp on you — it's time to embrace a new beginning.
