Flower Full Moon May 16, 2022
Here in the Northern Hempisphere seeds that I have planted are beginning to emerge. Texas Wildflowers are in full bloom. The trees once filled with tiny buds have bursted into abundant leaves. Which is why May’s Full Moon is named the Flower Moon.
According to the Farmer’s Almanac May marks the end of hard frost. Now is the time for farmers to begin seeding their fields. Which is also why May’s Moon is also called the Full Corn Planting Moon. “In medieval Europe the first day of May or Beltane, was the day cows were moved to their rich summer pastures, providing them with rich nourishment to feed their newborn calves. This is why May’s moon is sometimes known as the Full Milk Moon.”
May's Full Moon falls in Scorpio and Sun in Taurus. Scorpio is ruled by Pluto. Deep feelings may arise so release any negativity. Taurus energy is sentual while Scorpio is sexual. Release any envious or begrudging dramas. Be mindful of balancing heated emotions.
This Full Moon is a Lunar Eclipse. This happens when the moon passes through the Earth’s shadow. Eclipses happen when the moon takes place within 19* of a lunar node. It can be looked at as the Universe changing gears. During a total lunar eclipse, the moon will appear bright red in the night sky, also known as a Blood Moon. In ancient times an eclipse was something to marvel at or even fear, especially a Blood-Red Moon. Many thought this was a sign of bad luck or the belief the Gods were angry.
Spiritually an eclipse can be a portal into another life. Some believe if you have wandered off your soul's path the eclipse will set you right. If you reincarnated with a specific life purpose and have gotten off track an eclipse can bring you back to where you need to be! If you follow your birth chart look at the theme of the House the eclipse falls in. Love, money, family, joy, health, etc. Changes will come to this area. When an eclipse hits your Sun, Moon, or Rising signs it becomes even more powerful!
Flower Moon Intentions:
Spend time outside amongst the flowers! Turning point, look at your growth from the seeds you have previously planted. Release anything that is no longer needed.
