    Full moons are known to be a time of heightened emotions, and the deeply complex energy of the sign will help you retreat into yourself for some much-needed reflection.

    Take advantage of this time to allow yourself some space to think and process what’s been going on around you and how it’s been making you feel. 


    The full moon will have a lasting impact on all zodiac signs, and here’s everything to know about it…

    Astrological Effects Of The Full Moon On 12 May 2025

    Aries (March 21 – April 19)

    This Full Moon may highlight a hidden vulnerability that you've been masking with bravado. Rather than charging ahead, you’re being asked to pause and sit with discomfort. Open yourself up in new ways and embrace growth.

    Manifest’s Tip: Consider being more open about your fears and worries to help process them properly.

    Taurus (April 20 – May 20)

    The full moon in Scorpio sheds a spotlight on your closest relationships. Your tendency to dig in your heels may be tested in a key relationship. This is the time to renegotiate an unspoken contract. It’s worth considering that maybe someone has outgrown the version of you they've always known.


    Manifest’s Tip: Ask a close partner what they need from you now, not what they needed six months ago.

    Gemini (May 21 – June 20)

    Slow down, Gemini. The mind-body disconnect is going to become obvious as the full moon peaks. You’ve intellectualised your stress, but this lunation may bring a physical manifestation of emotional burnout—a stiff neck, insomnia, or even a dream that won’t let go.


    Manifest’s Tip: Prioritise self-care and building good habits a nd a steady routine.

    Cancer (June 21 – July 22)

    Your creative expression is asking for you to step out of your comfort zone. Playing it safe with your talents may have kept you comfortable, but invisible. This Full Moon urges you to channel your emotions into a creative outlet and not worry about failure.


    Manifest’s Tip: Share something you've made without worrying about the consequences.

    Leo (July 23 – August 22)

    The focus, this full moon, is going to be on the domestic front, Leo. Something you’ve unconsciously inherited is now ripe for revision. It’s not your job to carry all that weight, and it’s time you shared the burden.


    Manifest’s Tip: Open up channels of communication between yourself and a family member you haven’t spoken to in a while.

    Virgo (August 23 – September 22)

    Your precision with words may be blinding you to what's left unsaid. Words have weight, Virgo. In a key conversation, someone’s tone, not their logic, holds the truth.


    Manifest’s Tip: Listen for pauses and hesitations. They’ll tell you more than direct answers.

    Libra (September 23 – October 22)

    You’re being called to re-evaluate what value means to you. This Full Moon shines a light on how you might have been letting opportunities pass by you. It’s time to reflect and question your motivations behind the decisions you’ve taken.


    Manifest’s Tip: Take this time to think about what’s been holding you back.

    Scorpio (October 23 – November 21)

    A transformation is already underway, whether you allow it or not; leaning in will hurt less than resisting. This is your full moon, Scorpio, and you must consider it a checkpoint to assess how far you’ve come


    Manifest’s Tip: Don’t hesitate to express yourself openly. This is the time to embrace vulnerability.

    Sagittarius (November 22 – December 21)

    You’re brushing up against a limit you didn’t know you had, perhaps creatively, spiritually, or even in your sleep. You might find yourself being more sensitive than usual. The Full Moon asks you to respect rest as an active choice, not a backup plan.


    Manifest’s Tip: Block off time to do nothing. Literally nothing.

    Capricorn (December 22 – January 19)

    Your long-term plan needs a relational reality check. A friend or colleague may offer feedback that feels inconvenient, but it's insight, not sabotage. Don't overthink things, go with what feels instinctually right.


    Manifest’s Tip: Ask someone you trust, “What do you think I’m not seeing clearly?”

    Aquarius (January 20 – February 18)

    The cosmic quiet of the past few weeks has lulled you into a false sense of security, Aquarius. You need to keep an eye out for opportunities that could allow you to expand your mind. Remember, new doors can open up unexpectedly. 


    Manifest’s Tip: Don’t dismiss any idea without giving it proper thought.

    Pisces (February 19 – March 20)

    A philosophical belief or moral stance you’ve long held may begin to feel unsteady, not because it's wrong, but because you’ve outgrown the thought it came from. Be brave enough to question your own past beliefs.


    Manifest’s Tip: Keep an open mind and embrace new ideas.

    Putting together a homegrown title at a time when the demise of print has been long announced may seem surprising...
    ...but it has long been a dream of mine to give India a magazine it deserves. A magazine that is the country.

    And nothing, absolutely nothing, represents India more than our weddings.It is a time when families are brought together. Traditions come alive as they are adapted to each couple's beliefs. And lives are joined in a way that the romantic in me still enjoys.
