While the Flower Full Moon is associated with the blooming fields and forrests with the flowers of Spring, before those flowers sprout the seeds must be cracked open. Let’s take a closer look at what this the year’s Flower Full Moon has in store.
SPIRITUAL MEANING OF The Flower Full Moon
May’s Flower Full Moon in Scorpio is ready to bring in depth in transformation that will bring you further into the realms of old wounds, past issues and all that is ready come out of the shadows up to the surface.
The Flower full Moon in Scorpio is prime time for clearing out, facing truths that once wanted to remain unseen, radical transformation and alchemy.
This full moon is considered a micromoon, meaning it is less visible in the sky, and it’s distance is greater than a supermoon, more specifically a micromoon is when the moon is at the furtherest point from earth.
But, don’t let this fool you, the May Flower Full Moon is micro, yet mighty!
Consider that distance is a place of shadow, a place of deep contemplation, a place where things are hidden, perhaps, a place akin to the void.
Taking the time to sit, be with the self, write, meditate, and feel into the presence and energy of the moon, will allow you to harken, and harness a larger transformation that has been setting itself up to occur within your life, and the collective, too.
Don’t fear the shadow! All things held in dark will come to light. If done properly and with intention, the pathway to alchemizing is illuminated, and that which is to be released can now be let go of.
Consider this a emotional rebirth, and a place of blooming. You have been working hard all year moving through the energy each full and new moons preceding, and it’s been a heck of year so far.
With the May Flower Full Moon you can let go of old belief systems, and that which was not letting go will be easier to release, all while aligning into the blossoming new you.
This is what you have been waiting for! The high energy and emotional clarity is here to sweep away what must go.
Keep in mind, too, that there are two full Moon in May this year. May opens and closes with high intensity energy of the Flower Moon on the 1st, and the Blue Moon on the 31st, with the New Moon in Taurus on May 16th.
Scorpio Energy: The Power of Deep Transformation
A full moon in Scorpio brings the opportunity to bear down on outdated patterns of behavior that prohibit progress, and are out of alinement or bounds even with your spiritual progression.
There is a reflection point here where going deeper into the shadow, examining our roles in the patterns, within ourselves, our operating systems, and how we interact with others in patterns we have co-created cannot be ignored, yet, can be reached and touched with light, reflection, and the sense of the mirror so we can enact the transmutation, and realign closer to God source.
Scorpio is ruled by Pluto, who bears his own under wordly energies. Digging into the unconscious patterns, and taking notice of what arises during the days before, during, and after the full moon will illuminate what deeper aspects are asking to be recognized.
