Your Weekly Horoscope Says a Full Moon in Scorpio Will Reveal Deep, Dark Truths

Your horoscope for the week of May 11 to 17 is filled with unforeseen shake-ups, heavy blows, and last minute twists in stories you thought were already written. Get ready to feel the ground quake beneath your feet, because the cosmos did not come to play this week.

It all begins with a full Flower Moon on May 12 at 12:55 p.m. ET. Rising at 22 degrees of Scorpio, this full moon will dredge up some deep, dark truths, and what happens could feel like it’s completely coming out of the left field. After all, this full moon will form an opposition with Uranus—planet of sudden changes and rebellions—which could cause something to break when you least expect it. However, this break could either unfold as a breakup or a breakthrough. Chances are, it’ll be a fascinating and challenging combination of both. Expect tense conversations to reveal hidden intentions as Mercury in Taurus squares off with Pluto retrograde in Aquarius less than one hour later. Make no mistake—power dynamics are shifting like tectonic plates.

Some of the emotional intensity will level off by the morning of May 13, when the moon enters adventurous and open-minded Sagittarius. After the overwhelming energy of the full moon, this will feel like a breath of fresh air, especially as the moon forges a motivating and creatively rejuvenating Grand Fire Trine with Neptune and Venus in Aries—as well as Mars in Leo—by the afternoon. If something fell apart earlier in the week, this is a beautiful opportunity to harness your pain and let it be fuel for something meaningful. Picking up the pieces and putting them back together can make something even more beautiful than it was before. Let’s not forget this Sagittarius moon will also form a sextile with transformative Pluto, urging you to alchemize your suffering.

By the morning of May 15, bold ideas and exhilarating debates could unfold as the Sagittarius moon opposes Jupiter in Gemini. You may be focusing on the big picture while overlooking important details, so allow more information to flood through your mind. This moon will also square the lunar nodes, as well as Saturn in Pisces, which could bring up issues you have yet to resolve. It may feel like no matter how hard you try, you’re still running into walls. But little do you know, you’re weakening the structure of those walls each time you attempt to knock them down.

You have the opportunity to tap into a dormant source of power by the morning of May 16. This is when a Capricorn moon will sextile the Black Moon Lilith in Scorpio, represents your raw, untamed feminine power. It represents the part of you that feels like an outcast every time you expose your most controversial talents—a.k.a. your “shadow self.” This is a beautiful time to rebel against conformity and do things your own way, especially when it comes to the way you treat intimacy, money, and merging energies. The Capricorn moon will also form a trine with Mercury in Taurus, as well as a square with Venus in Aries, which signifies that uncomfortable, but productive conversations may take place. It’s important to know the truth, even if it stings; it’s the only way you’ll ever get to the root of the issue.

By May 17, something you never could have predicted could start to take shape. You already caught a glimpse of something new being born into your life during the full moon, but on this day, the Taurus sun will form a conjunction with revolutionary Uranus, causing you to quantum leap into a new reality altogether. Barries are crumbling, traditions are being rewritten, and you’re ready for whatever this unexpected shake-up brings you. Don’t fear change; it’s exactly what you need right now.
