FULL MOON is Sunday, May 31st at 3:46AM.
Also known as a Blue Moon, this is the second full moon within the same month, a rare and infrequent occurrence. A full moon is always a time to reflect on what you need to release and it can shed a bright light on what needs to happen for you to move to the next step on your path. There are other influences around this full moon that suggest some unexpected situations could occur creating a need for flexibility, responsibility and deep healing.

The best approach to this Full Moon is to be open and accepting and willing to look at and tell the truth about whatever it is that you are processing in your life and whatever life lessons you are learning or completing at this time. What can you truly let go of that no longer serves and is only in your way of moving forward? Think of old resentments, old patterns, regrets, shame, guilt and bad habits as areas to recapitulate and release.

This time frame offers a great opportunity for a huge reset if you are ready to embrace it. This may not come easily and may require moving through some hardship and discomfort but will be worthwhile in the end. It is helpful to be physically active to help move the energy as well as to be inspired by something of beauty. Let the emotions flow as a cleaning and clearing of your spirit much like washing your windows in order to see more clearly. To anchor symbolically this clearing you may be inspired to clean and clear something in your physical environment. Do it with the intention that it represents a personal emotional clearing and reset.

Neuroscientist Andrew Huberman explains how the body already carries a built-in mechanism to calm itself under stress.

The “physiological sigh” two quick inhales followed by a long exhale helps regulate carbon dioxide levels and signals the nervous system to downshift from tension to calm.

Instead of trying to mentally force anxiety away, his research highlights a more direct path: work with the body first, and the mind tends to follow. It’s a simple reminder that stress regulation isn’t about control it’s about biology.

FULL MOON in Scorpio is Friday May 1, at 12:23 PM Central time.
Also known as the Flower Moon, this moon promotes balance between the physical, tangible aspects of life and the spiritual, mysterious, emotionally intuitive aspects of life. You may feel an internal pressure to explore your emotional truth, finally coming to terms with releasing something that has been in the way of your authentic self expression.

There is lots of support during this full moon time for stepping into your power and setting boundaries against what has disempowered you in the past, especially with regards to relationship dynamics. We are excited to face the future with all its amazing possibilities but at the same time we are feeling some nostalgia around what we know we need to release before moving forward.

It is a time where the theme of death and rebirth is alive and well. When something gets released there is space for the birth of a new idea, project, relationship, perspective, attitude, understanding, and way of being in the world. So wrap up those loose ends and strive for balance between what you give yourself and what you give others.
