In May the flowers are in full bloom, the rainy season is passing, the climate is warmer, and the plants are thriving. The land is fertile, and there is an abundance of energy to go around. The energy from last month is at its peak and inspiration, motivation and passion levels are high. Some of our goals we set in the past couple of months are close to fruition. It is also a great time to take our plans to the next level to help reach our dreams and goals. In this current season there are opportunities to look within for growth that will allow us to bloom.
The full moon in May is called the Flower Moon because of the abundance of flowers that are blooming in the middle of spring. Other names also include the Corn Planting Moon, the Milk Moon, Mother’s Moon and the Hare Moon. The names for this moon are inspired by late spring, abundance, farming and fertility. Not only are many types of flowers blooming, but this period was also an ideal time for farmers to plant corn and other seeds. May was also an ideal period for livestock such as cows to give birth and start producing milk. These resources provided nourishment, food, and abundance for the coming months.
The Flower Moon represents a season of plentiful abundance. When there is abundant energy and resources around us, we can focus on other aspects of our lives. This is a great time to focus on improving our careers and jobs. We can ask for guidance and work on taking steps that will take us to the next level. It is also a season of fire, passion, and fertility. We can use this fire energy to ignite the fire inside. This can help us fuel our passions and work on creating and growing something new. Our creations can take a new life of their own as they are born from this season. The Flower moon is also a time for reflection. It is a time to reflect on progress and the abundance that we have in our lives. During this reflection, we can also search within to discover what healing is necessary to help us grow. Look within and ask yourself some questions. What are changes we need to create to balance one’s life? What are your deepest desires? What are actions we need to take to grow in the upcoming months? Let this be a time to look inside, connect with our desires and let the creativity flow.
This season let us bloom among the flowers and share our joy, love and abundance in celebration of the season. It is a time for fun and pleasure so enjoy the warmth, new life and food with others. We can show gratitude and celebrate our achievements.
May Full Moon in Scorpio
During the Flower Moon in May, the full moon will be in the sign of Scorpio. Scorpio is known as intense, dark, and mysterious. It is a water sign that dives deep into our hidden subconscious and emotional wells. During a full moon in Scorpio, these traits are amplified. When the moon is in Scorpio, our hidden emotions, memories, and desires come to the surface. With the combination of the full moon, we might experience imbalances, a deep need for control, and also feel our emotions intensely. Although the information that Scorpio’s energy might raise might be hard to handle, it is important to acknowledge what is coming to the surface. As a result, this is a time for healing and transformation as we process and reflect on what is coming to us. It is a great time to let go of fears and emotions that you have hidden within.
Although the moon in Scorpio asks us to embrace our inner shadow, it also amplifies our conscious and subconscious abilities and passions. We may feel like we have better focus and concentration. Distractions will be low and our natural abilities heightened. This might be a great time to settle down and tackle those hard tasks that require a lot of mental focus. Scorpio energy will help us stay disciplined throughout the day. The energy of Scorpio also heightens our psychic abilities and intuition. We have a better read on people and situations. Our intuition can also help guide us as we experience unknown or mysterious situations that come about. When the moon is in Scorpio, sexual energy is also strong. Scorpio energy desires connection over a one- night stand. It is a night where deep connections are made through intimacy, sex, or self-pleasure. During a Moon in Scorpio, our mind is sharper, intuition stronger, and sexual desire at its peak.
The Scorpio moon is highly transformative and provides opportunities for change and rebirth during this spring season. Look within and acknowledge the information our shadow selves confront us with. Come to terms with what it is and implement any changes needed that the Scorpio moon has brought to our attention. During this May moon, let go and then start anew.
