The full moon peaks today at 12:56 p.m. EST at 22 degrees of Scorpio, and the powerful vibrations of this moon will be felt for three days before and henceforth. While we’ll all be under the influence of this powerful lunation, four signs will feel the effects most acutely.

According to NASA, an Old English name for the May full moon is the milk moon. In 703 AD, the English monk St. Bede the Venerable wrote that May was known as the "Three-Milkings Month," likely because cows could be milked three times a day during this fertile time of year.

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 .
