Even though many are rounding out their second full month of sheltering in place, in many respects, time has continued on. For one thing, full moons are not canceled. In fact, this week’s full flower moon (a nickname it’s earned from happening during a time when flowers tend to be in bloom) in Scorpio is happening on May 7 at 6:45 a.m., EST, and it’s the last supermoon of the year. That means it’s going to be an intense time.
“The Scorpio full moon is arguably the most intense one of the year,” says Rachel Lang, intuitive astrologer and healer. “Scorpio is a sign that plunges the depths, emotionally and spiritually. The Scorpio full moon, therefore, reveals what’s hidden in those depths and in the darkness of our subconscious selves.”
The Scorpio full flower moon is all about introspection and trust, and though it’s intense, Lang says that intensity can skew positive if you embrace it as an opportunity to introspect and then change accordingly. “After the soul-searching, it’s time to take care of business, and you’ll want to take action to change aspects of your life that are not working for you. This is the beauty of the Scorpio full moon; it illuminates what needs to be healed or changed in your life, and then it shows you a path toward transformation,” she says.

Furthermore, despite being socially distanced from others, we’ll feel more in tune with the emotions of other people during this full moon than we have previously, thanks to Neptune’s involvement. “If you start feeling waves of emotions or mood swings, discern whether you’re picking up on others’ vibes or whether those emotions are your own. We have opportunities to more deeply connect with others during this full moon,” says Lang.
And finally, since this full flower moon opposes Mercury, we may feel increasingly analytical of ourselves and of others. “We crave knowledge and understanding,” she says. “We’ll also want to know what’s on the mind of our significant other or those closest to us,” she says. “But try not to stay present in your life to what is happening right now.” Below, Lang explains what exactly you can expect from this full flower moon, according to your sun sign.
