Get ready for May 12 to be ‘the secret’s out’ day, thanks to a Full Moon in Scorpio – AKA the Flower Moon.

This is a really powerful lunar event because Scorpio is fearless, penetrative, and forceful. Scorpio is a sign that deals with secrets, the underbelly of things, the shadow and shade in this life, and the stuff we might try to suppress or keep hidden from public view.

This moon illuminates all of that – which is good news if you’re the seeker, but maybe not so good news if you’re the one keeping the secrets.

Let the tarot guide you towards the secret about to be unveiled in your own realm…

Tarot card for Sagittarius for the Full Moon in Scorpio: Knight of Swords

Meaning: We all think of Aries and Leo – and maybe Scorpio – as the competitors of the zodiac but actually I believe it is you! Sagittarians come to fight, to battle, and to win. You can hold a grudge, dig deep, stick up for yourself, and outdo a rival… just for fun. You’re the only sign whose astrological symbol is a weapon after all (the archer).

So, fight. There’s a secret battle in your life that needs to be tackled.
Create a challenge or rise to the occasion to conquer one you’re already immersed in. Play to win, don’t give up, make your case, and overcome all the odds. You are strong.

Tarot card for Capricorn for the Full Moon in Scorpio: Knight of Coins

Meaning: Something that you’re tired of, but have put so much work into that it’s hard to give up on, is about to come good. All that effort will be repaid and now is not the time to slack off, quit, or step back. Go harder, go faster, go deeper.

The Knight of Coins is your determination and diligence, your persistence and ambition. You can grit your teeth and push through pain like no other sign – show that side of yourself this Full Moon.

Tarot card for Aquarius for the Full Moon in Scorpio: Death

Meaning: A huge transformation, signalled by the end of something that has been fading for a long time, will unfold. This process might take until November to really come to full fruition.

Death is not about ‘death’, albeit it often means you’ll encounter a ‘little death’, an ending, a closure, a conclusion. Something necessary and natural. Something which unleashes you from an outdated bond or role or commitment. You are going to come back stronger, better, flashier, and wiser. It’s time to rise.

Look out for lively Fire sign folk who want to invite you out – Leo, Aries, Sagittarius. Then, simply say ‘yes’ to new adventure this Full Moon, and let yourself be swept away with the fairies, quite literally. Have fun!
