Look up, folks—because tonight (May 12, 2025), the sky is doing her thing again. The Flower Moon is out in full force, and she’s not here to be ignored. Named for the blooming chaos of May flowers, this lunar diva is nature’s way of saying, “You survived winter, now here’s some moonlight and seasonal allergies.”

What Even Is a Flower Moon?
Think of it as the moon’s spring fashion debut. Back in the day, Indigenous tribes like the Algonquin named each full moon to match what was happening in nature. May? Flowers everywhere. Thus: Flower Moon. Not super deep, but deeply accurate.
This year’s Flower Moon is also a micromoon—aka she’s far away, emotionally and physically. She’ll appear a little smaller and dimmer than usual, because apparently, even the moon gets burnt out and needs space.

When to Moon-Gaze Without Looking Creepy
• Peak Shine Time: 12:56 PM EDT. (Yeah, daylight. Not helpful, moon.)
• Best Time to Stare: Just after sunset. Head outside, face southeast, and pretend you’re in a spiritual indie film.
• Full Moon Vibes: Sunday evening to early Tuesday. Plenty of time to make questionable life decisions under lunar influence.

This Moon Is in Scorpio, So… Buckle Up
Scorpio doesn’t come to play. Emotionally intense? Check. Secret-revealing? Yup. A little dramatic? Always. This Flower Moon might stir up old feelings, secrets, or that thing you swore you were “totally over.” (Spoiler: you’re not.)
If you’re a Taurus, Leo, Scorpio, or Aquarius—maybe sit this one out. Or don’t. Drama builds character, right?

What To Do With All This Moon Madness
• Reflect. Meditate. Journal. Or lie in the grass dramatically and sigh a lot.
• Release baggage. Burn that list of exes. (Safely. No actual fire hazards, please.)
• Eat something moon-themed. Cheese? Cookies with glitter? Go wild.

So, grab your phone, your camera, or your emotionally repressed thoughts, and head outside. The Flower Moon doesn’t care if you’re in sweatpants. She’s still going to shine—and tonight, so should you.
Until next time,
