The Flower Moon is the Full Moon in Scorpio during the month of May. This May the Full Flower Moon is on the 17th of the month.

It's called the flower moon because in the Northern Hemisphere Spring is in bloom and flowers are opening everywhere. The farmers almanac also refers to this as the Milk moon.

Antares, the bright orange star at the heart of Scorpius, the scorpion, rises just below the Moon a couple of hours after sunset tonight and remains close to the Moon all night.

In Buddhism the full moon in Scorpio is known as Wesak a time of enlightenment.

This moon has been know to bring out the scorpion in people, even those without any astrological connections to Scorpio, but even more so with those with houses in Scorpio.

Full moon in Scorpio may bring intense emotions, irritability, anger. This experience may be felt as early as 3 days before the exact full moon and 3 days after.

Emotions will be intense and issues will come out which were not brought up before. It's recommended to try to go with the flow and try to focus on compassion over assertiveness during this time.
