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.

With springtime weather in full effect, it’s no surprise that the full flower moon will illuminate the sky May 12.

It's May, which means Spring has sprung and rebirth is everywhere. Astrologically, all that regeneration has huge significance, and it all culminates with the May 12 Flower Moon in Scorpio, which is all about rebirth, rejuvenation, and fruition.
