The May Full Flower Moon Will Transform These 4 Zodiac Signs The Most

Have you sensed the recent planetary drama? Unless you’ve been spared by Mercury retrograde antics lately (must be nice), the past few weeks might have felt like a rollercoaster. The ups and downs don’t stop here — welcome to the May 2023 full flower moon lunar eclipse. Arriving on May 5 in the elusive and sensual sign of Scorpio, this lunation helps us indulge in our passions and our emotions as we assess what truly matters to us. That’s why, for the zodiac signs most affected by the May 2023 full flower moon lunar eclipse, this transformational period is a time to get real about matters most.

Scorpio has a way of turning our world upside down, and some people will feel extra urgency to make changes in their lives. The water sign owes much of its intensity to its ruling planet, Pluto, which rules the underbelly of the self — think, sex, control, and power. “Pluto promises a time of needed evolutionary transformations in reevaluating our life directions, healing of old wounds, and stepping up our game in order to empower us to achieve our dreams,” Angel Dawn, an astrologer and spiritual advisor, tells Bustle. Since Pluto rules destruction, those impacted the most will have to face a lot of their lesser-loved traits and toxic patterns — then come out on the other side more aligned with who they want to be.

Even if you’re one of the four zodiac signs who will get all the tough love this lunation, your transformation can usher in a bright new chapter. Keep reading to find out if you’re among the zodiac signs who are most affected by the May 2023 full flower moon eclipse, plus, how to stay empowered through the changes.
