According to NASA, an Old English name for the May full moon is the milk moon. In 703 AD, the English monk St. Bede the Venerable wrote that May was known as the "Three-Milkings Month," likely because cows could be milked three times a day during this fertile time of year.

According to an astrologer, the full Flower Moon on May 12 will be especially transformative for these three fixed signs.

The full flower moon in Scorpio on 12 May brings us into bloom. This micromoon is a moment of light and love, even if it is farther away from earth in apogee. The flower moon symbolises the growth of plants in the spring, which applies to all living beings since we are also at a stage of metamorphosis.
