The Invitation: Blooming from the Depths under the Flower Moon

"Let the shadows speak, let the tears fall, let the truth rise—this is not your breaking, this is your becoming."

Happening: The Scorpio full Moon, also known as the flower Moon, takes place on May 12, 2025, at 9:57 am PT.

You are standing at the gateway of sacred transformation. The veil is thin tonight, and Grandmother Moon, full in the sign of Scorpio, shines her penetrating light not upon the world outside, but into the hidden valleys of your soul.

Do not be afraid of the shadows that rise now. They are not here to harm you. They are your forgotten teachers—your unloved fears, your ancient grief, your tender rage—asking only to be seen, felt, and honored.

Scorpio does not ask for your perfection. She asks for your truth. She asks you to remove the mask, to stop pretending that you are anything other than holy, messy, miraculous, and in motion. You are a being made of stardust and memory, and this moon—this Flower Moon—offers you the gift of blooming from your depths.

Let what is buried come up to breathe. Let what you’ve been carrying in silence be spoken, sung, or wept into the soil. Let the fire of your transformation begin not by fighting the darkness, but by surrendering to its wisdom. You do not need to figure it all out. You only need to feel.

Place your bare feet on the earth. Inhale the breath of the ancestors. Exhale all that is not yours to carry.

You are the alchemist.

You are the temple.

You are the ceremony.

Let the Scorpio moon pull the poison from your wounds and turn it into medicine. Let her show you where you’ve handed your power to fear, and how you can reclaim it with gentleness and grace. Let her guide you through the sacred art of transmutation—turning endings into beginnings, pain into prayer, and sorrow into song.

There is no shame in your tears. There is no failure in your stillness. You are allowed to rest. You are allowed to rage. You are allowed to begin again.

And through it all, the Sun in Taurus grounds you—reminding you that the body is your sanctuary, that your breath is the bridge, and that beauty and stability are born not in escape, but in presence. Touch the earth, eat with gratitude, move slowly, and listen deeply. Taurus and Scorpio dance together now—spirit and flesh, light and shadow, root and river.

This is your invitation, child of the Earth and stars:

Release what no longer honors your becoming.

Choose to see with eyes wide open.

Feel everything—and allow yourself to be reborn.

The Moon sees you.

The Earth holds you.

The Ancestors are singing your name.

Breathe.

Weep.

Bloom.

The Invitation

Under the silver gaze of Grandmother Moon, whose light pierces the veil, I greet your Spirit with love and reverence. This Full Moon in Scorpio—rising like a sacred tide—beckons you inward. Let this be a return to your knowing, a homecoming to the deep waters of your soul.

This is not a time to fear the dark.

This is the realm of the Seer, the Healer, the Snake who sheds to grow. The Scorpio Moon whispers: Enter the cave of your heart. What truths have you buried beneath the surface? What grief sits quietly behind your smile? What parts of you are aching to be heard, to be honored, to be held?

You are the Alchemist.

You carry the ancestral power to transmute pain into purpose, fear into freedom, and shadow into sacred light. The wounds that speak now are not punishments—they are portals. They ask only this: Will you witness me? Will you feel me? Will you free me?

Let your tears be the sacred water that washes away old stories. Let your breath be the drumbeat that steadies you through revelation. Let your body be your altar—grounded, wise, alive.

Your Invitations

• Sit with your silence. Listen to what arises when nothing distracts you.

• Speak your truth aloud. To the Moon, to your journal, to a trusted soul.

• Move your energy. Dance, scream, hum, weep—let the current flow.

• Release with intention. Write what you’re ready to let go of. Burn it. Bury it. Offer it.

• Anoint your body. Touch yourself as sacred. You are the temple.

• Root in the Earth. Let Taurus remind you: stability is built from within.

Cosmic Context

With the Sun and Uranus in Taurus, breakthroughs will come where you once clung. The ground may shake—trust it is making space for truth. Saturn in Pisces offers spiritual scaffolding; lean on ritual, prayer, dreams. Mercury and Pluto stir the cauldron of your voice and your power—speak with intention, and listen even deeper.

Remember this, soul traveler:

The darkness is not your enemy. It is the fertile soil of transformation.

This Moon does not seek perfection from you—only presence.

Let yourself be raw. Let yourself be real. Let yourself be free.

You are the Moon’s child.

You are the Healer you’ve been waiting for.

You are, and always have been, enough.

With reverence and radiant love,

Walk gently. Breathe deeply. Transform boldly.

It is your time.

It is our time.
