Horoscope For Today: Monday, May 12, 2025

Today the full moon in Scorpio goes exact at 22° at 12:55 PM EST, ushering in a time of extreme catharsis and closure, particularly for the fixed signs: Taurus, Leo, Scorpio, and Aquarius. For some, this could come in the form of a very dramatic, painful ending. For others, it will just feel like a much-needed release.

Sometimes, admittedly, it feels as though nothing can truly shock the collective anymore. We have, after all, been living in so-called unprecedented times for quite some time now, and many of us have developed a certain level of compassion fatigue.

That said, this is a big lunar event, and the world is inevitably going to feel its impact. Expect major scandals: sexual taboos will be exposed, along with underhanded financial activity. What is done in the dark always comes to light, and we’re about to see just exactly who politicians and public figures are when they think no one’s looking.

At 5:33 PM, the moon makes a clean and harmonious trine to the North Node at 24° Pisces, and from this we can infer that whatever shady information has been brought to the surface will drive us, as a collective, further down the path to spiritual enlightenment.

With fewer leaders using their power for good, we are encouraged to seek the truth on our own, treading into unfamiliar and potentially unsettling territory.

This is a time when many people will choose to penetrate the underworld, whether through participation in taboo spiritual rituals or bonding with a partner through intense sexual connection. At a collective level, though, we are all learning the same difficult lesson: in uncertain times it is best to surrender our fears and embrace the unknown.

The day closes out on a very discordant note, which is unsurprising; the events triggered by a full moon tend to last up to week preceding and following the exact event. But at 10:34 PM, with a dramatic opposition between the moon and Uranus at 27° Taurus, you can be certain that more unexpected drama will be incited overnight.

Just as the East Coast is heading off to bed, the chaos of super-charged, electric Uranian events are just beginning to unfold. Issues relating to the banking system, crypto, and cybersecurity are likely to arise, along with continuing frustration regarding rising food and housing costs. In this sense, you can expect more of the same problems we’ve been having—but turned up to eleven.

How will this chaotic day roll out for you on an individual level, you may ask? Read the following forecast in accordance with your rising sign, rather than your sun sign, for a head’s up.

Aries

Today’s chaotic full moon takes place in your eighth house, bringing a cathartic end to some secretive aspect of your finances or a source of income that you gained through means that are not quite aligned with your values. Some of you may discover shady and fraudulent behavior at your workplace—or get exposed for your own less-than-ethical practices, giving you the wakeup call you desperately needed. This evening, the moon’s trine to the North Node in your twelfth house brings an opportunity to release your fears and worries about your money. Take comfort in the knowledge that you can always better yourself, no matter what mistakes you’ve made in the past. Later, the moon’s opposition to Uranus in your second house suggests some dramatic change to your finances—either a windfall of unexpected blessings or a humbling loss.

Taurus

This full moon is lighting up your seventh house, revealing secrets about your partner’s sex life and taboo interests. If you’ve had the sneaking suspicion that you’re being cheated on, you might finally receive the confirmation you need. If someone has been stringing you along, you’ll gain the confidence to walk away from a toxic, messy situationship. This evening, the moon’s trine to the North Node in your eleventh house offers you solace and support in your broader social circle. Your closest friends will have your back. However, your partner’s emotional reactivity might get unfairly projected onto you later tonight, when the moon faces off in a harsh opposition with Uranus in your first house.

Gemini

With this full moon unfolding in your sixth house, your physical health and daily routine are guaranteed to go through a shake-up of sorts. Whether you’re recovering from an injury that has left you unable to work for the past several months or you decide you need to take some time off from work now, you’ll learn the best way to restructure your life around your needs, rather than your superiors’. It’s okay to be a little bit selfish right now. In fact, the stars are aligned in a supportive gesture that encourages you to step out and use your platform: this evening, when the moon trines the North Node in your tenth house, you have an opportunity to share your vulnerabilities with a wide audience. You never know whose life your story might touch. Be wary of taking on more than you can handle, though; later, when the moon opposes Uranus in your twelfth house, your mental health might take a hit. Make sure you get plenty of rest.

Cancer

Today’s full moon is taking place in your fifth house, bringing about revelations regarding your latest situationship and your creative life. Maybe it’s time to close this chapter since your lover isn’t planning on committing any time soon. Or, on the other hand, maybe they’re going to ask if you want to be exclusive. Some of you might get engaged under the bright light of this full moon, and if that’s you, congratulations are in order. It’s also an excellent time to conceive, if you’re trying to grow your family. This evening, when the moon forms a beautiful trine with the North Node in your ninth house, you’ll receive lots of support from the spiritual leaders and academic mentors in your life. Tonight, when the moon sharply opposes Uranus in your eleventh house, abrupt changes to your social network can be expected. Whether you have good or bad news to share with your friends, you can expect accelerated forward motion in your relationships with them. By the end of all of this, you’ll know who’s got your back.

Leo

Today the full moon illuminates your fourth house, bringing forth secrets relating to your family of origin or the people you currently live with. Those of you with toxic roommates will probably see a happy resolution to the situation around this time, even if it means setting very hard boundaries. If your blood relatives have been keeping some dark family secrets under wraps, you’re going to hear all the gossip now—and it might leave you wondering if you ever really knew your parents and grandparents at all. This evening’s supportive trine between the moon and the North Node in your eighth house helps resolve debt issues and brings closure to trauma associated with your deceased loved ones. You won’t be able to avoid the spotlight tonight, when the moon faces off in opposition with Uranus in your tenth house. If anyone is going to benefit from family scandals, it might as well be you.

Virgo

Today’s full moon takes place in your third house, bringing to light dark secrets and unpleasant revelations about your siblings, extended family, and neighbors. If you can avoid getting embroiled in the drama, it’s certainly best to sit this one out. If you do get dragged into the muck headfirst, keep your cool and maintain composure until the worst of it is over. You might not like the things you’re learning about people you thought you knew, but there is a reason you’re discovering them now; it’s always better to learn an uncomfortable truth than walk through life believing a comforting lie. You can expect that your partner will provide a great deal of support during this time, since the moon trines the North Node in your seventh house this evening. This stable, solid reassurance will carry you through the messiest of circumstances. Then, later, when the moon faces off against Uranus in your ninth house in a tough opposition, you can expect to receive shocking and destabilizing news from beyond your borders. Those of you with family living abroad, or at least across state lines, can expect lots of drama.

Libra

If you’ve been struggling to get a new business off the ground for the past several months, today’s full moon in your second house brings a radical opportunity to reap the fruits of your labor. Revelations about your finances are sure to come, especially if you’ve been choosing to remain secretive about your net worth. As long as you’ve been keeping your hands clean, everything should be coming up roses for you. Plus, this evening the moon makes a trine with the North Node in your sixth house, giving you a boost of physical energy and confidence, so you can put all your efforts into improving your work routine. Finding a rhythm that works effectively for you is the best way to ensure long-term stability. However, if you’ve been avoiding the unavoidable (that is to say, death and taxes), you won’t be able to put it off any longer. That’s because the moon will face off against Uranus in your eighth house, confronting you with the painful reality of debt and mortality.

Scorpio

Today is all about you, with the full moon lighting up your first house and bringing a satisfying yet dramatic close to a certain era of your personality and identity. It’s time to let go of who you were and step into the possibility of who you can be. Those of you who have been laid up with physical injuries or extended illnesses for the past several months will likely find yourselves on the road to recovery now. And just in time, too—this evening, when the moon trines the North Node in your fifth house, you’ll be in the mood for creativity, romance, and fun. While it’s not advisable to party too hard, it’s definitely a good time to let your hair down. What’s more, if you do go out, you might just meet someone who catches your eye. Tonight, when the moon opposes Uranus in your seventh house, you’re especially attractive to potential partners—and whoever you meet is bound to be influential in some major way. You might just end up calling off hot girl summer because you decide to enter into a whirlwind romance with one specific person instead.

Sagittarius

With today’s dramatic full moon highlighting your twelfth house, you can anticipate breakthroughs related to your mental health and subconscious struggles. If you’ve been dodging your therapist’s calls for a few months, it might be a good time to check in. Otherwise, talk to a trusted friend about some of the revelations you’ve been having as past traumas resurface. When the moon trines the North Node in your fourth house this evening, you’ll feel loved and supported by those closest to you: your blood family, surely, but also your friends who have started to feel like family. This is a beautiful time to bond and grow closer to your loved ones. Later tonight, when the moon faces off in an opposition with Uranus in your sixth house, you can count on major changes to your work life and your daily routine. If you’ve been teetering too close to the brink of burnout for some time now, this might be the catalyst you need to demand a stronger work-life balance.

Capricorn

This particular full moon is lighting up your eleventh house, inciting lots of drama within your social circle and turning your life into an episode of Euphoria. Try not to get too overwhelmed, even as everyone’s messy secrets start to come out. Do what you do best in these situations: stay calm, cool, and collected, offering rational and strategic solutions for problems your friends have found themselves in. Lots of you will have to choose between friends who are suddenly breaking up and expecting you to take sides. Unless the situation involves abuse, it’s probably a good idea not to let your emotions lead. Stay neutral for as long as you can. This evening, the moon’s trine to the North Node in your third house promises support from your siblings and neighbors, who can provide an objective viewpoint. Tonight, as if things weren’t crazy enough, there’s the moon’s opposition to Uranus in your fifth house. You might hear from an ex, match with someone on Hinge who seems a little too perfect to be real, or get a spark of creative inspiration that carries you somewhere you never imagined. Stay open to the impossible.

Aquarius

Today you’re in the hot seat, with the full moon illuminating your tenth house and bringing all of your secrets into the light. Have you been keeping your side of the street clean, or getting involved in messy drama? Whatever choices you’ve been making for the past several months, you’re going to reap your just rewards now, under the harsh and scrutinizing light of this full moon. Be wary of exes and fairweather friends trying to target you or paint you in a bad light. This evening, the moon trines the North Node in your second house, ensuring that you get fairly compensated for your hard work. If you’ve been putting in the time and doing everything by the book, it won’t matter what rumors are circulating about you, because you’ll be laughing all the way to the bank. On the other hand, if you’ve been using your money unwisely, the world is likely to find out about it. Tonight, the moon faces off against Uranus in your fourth house, promising shocks and instability within your family.

Pisces

Today’s full moon illuminates your ninth house, bringing up serious scandals and secrets from within your spiritual, religious, or academic community. Plenty of people have been let down by mentors they worshipped; if you’ve been a little too starry-eyed over someone who positions themselves as a guru, you might have to face the uncomfortable truth that everyone is as flawed as the next human. It’s important to remember that idolization is just another form of dehumanization. Besides, this evening is all about you as an individual, thanks to the moon’s trine to the North Node in your first house. You’re not only changing, you’re maturing—and growing into the best possible version of yourself that you can be. You know, intuitively, what you need to do in order to reach your goals. Tonight, the moon faces off with Uranus in your third house, reflecting drama within your community and extended family. If your sister is having a crash-out over a breakup, invite her over and let her cry on the couch while you watch your favorite comfort show.
