The **Flower Moon**, the full moon of May, reaches peak brightness on **May 12, 2025**, and is traditionally associated with the **blossoming of nature** in the Northern Hemisphere. Named by Native American tribes—particularly the Algonquin—it celebrates a time of **fertility, renewal, and abundance**, as flowers bloom in full force and the Earth reaches a vibrant phase of life. In 2025, this full moon occurs in the **intense water sign of Scorpio**, lending the lunar energy a more emotional, transformative tone than usual. While the season itself evokes life and growth, Scorpio brings themes of **rebirth, emotional truth, and shedding the old**. It’s a moon that encourages inner reflection as much as outer celebration. Adding a celestial twist, this year's Flower Moon is also a **micromoon**—appearing smaller and dimmer than usual because it occurs near the Moon's farthest point from Earth (apogee). Though physically smaller, its **astrological and symbolic power** remains potent.
