Full Moon's Grace
The greenery has returned to our surroundings, bird songs filling the air all hours of the day until we all rest our head once the sun goes down, but let's not forget about the power that rests in the night sky. The full moon is just around the corner, and brings with it a brand new energy we can all adopt.
May's full moon, the flower moon, will be rising on the 23rd under the sign of Sagittarius. Named for all the flowers that bloom during this month (April showers do bring May flowers, after all), the full flower moon has us doing some thoughtful reflection on our pasts so we may better our present.
Here's how the flower moon will affect your specific sign.
Aries
Under May's flower moon, Aries, you'll find your understanding of things growing deeper. You'll gain new insights, perspectives, and ways of thinking that change your worldview. This could come via a number of ways, including things like travel or furthering your education, so keep your eyes and heart open for any learning, soul-nourishing opportunities that arise.
Now's the time to push your boundaries. What areas are you holding back in? Why are you afraid to push past them, to break free? Whether it's reaching out to someone, picking up a new hobby, or planning a trip, take the leap. Embracing new adventures can lead to exciting discoveries.
Taurus
Taurus, this full moon will ask that you do a lot of problem-solving and make compromises to keep the peace around you. You might need to have a serious talk with a partner, close friend, or family member about something serious, likely money-related, but it could be anything that's weighing on your mind. It'll be daunting but well worth the effort you put in.
Now's your chance to break free and regain control over areas of your life you've felt slip from your grasp. Jot down any distressing or upsetting recurring thoughts, then burn the list (safely) to symbolize letting them go. It's a powerful way to clear your mind and move forward unburdened.
Gemini
Gemini, some of your important relationships might be changing, but it's all for the better. It might mean a big step with a romantic partner or meeting someone with lasting potential if you're single. It's time for honest talks with those who matter. Don't avoid tough topics out of fear; facing these issues directly clears the air and builds stronger foundations for the future.
Remember, communication is always key, that's your focus this full moon. Expressing your thoughts, feelings, concerns, and opinions openly will help you build great trust and connection with those you love.
Cancer
Cancer, you're more aware of your daily routine right now, able to identify what works and what doesn't for you. It's a good time to tweak habits and schedules to foster a healthier lifestyle. Spend just five minutes a day on a new habit you want to stick to. Keep it simple; don't stress too hard about it, and soon, it'll become second nature.
You might be close to finishing a big project, be it personal or work-related. Once it's done, be sure to give yourself time to rest. You need time to relax before you move onto the next thing, you're not wasting time by letting your mind and body recuperate.
Leo
Leo, the flower moon brings a time to indulge in what brings you joy. This could be going to a show that you know you'll love, buying yourself a modest gift, or spending time around your favorite people. Hold tight to the feelings of happiness these moments bring you. Use them to motivate you in the future.
It's also a time to listen to your body, especially when it comes to self-care. Spend some time treating yourself better than you ever have, focus inward, and hear what your body calls out for, then give it that. Indulge in healing, in loving yourself, in being kind to your soul.
Virgo
Virgo, you're in a thoughtful phase during this full moon. Take time to think about how your past shapes you now. What memories are holding you back? What fears do you still cling to? Spend an evening with old photos, messages, or journals from the past. What was going on then? How does it impact you today?
You might be feeling a little sensitive, but that doesn't mean you should fear any coming change either. It might actually be exactly what you need. Nostalgia can have us missing the past, yes, but it shouldn't prevent us from looking forward to the future, either.
Libra
Libra, this full moon, it's time to find your voice again. You've been feeling quiet, lost even, but now you're ready to reclaim it. Think about how you can use it to make a difference. Can you share stories or art with it? Promote people you think others need to hear from? You're feeling confident, use that surge of motivation to make your mark.
You're also in a great spot to do some reflecting on the past without getting caught up in the sadness of things missed. It's normal to have some regrets or miss how things used to be, but don't get hung up on those feelings. You're so much more than what you were. Focus on that instead.
Scorpio
Scorpio, your sense of security is changing during this full flower moon. Maybe you're feeling insecure about money, relationships, or home-related matters, things that really shake up your foundational living. Try not to stress too hard. Whatever struggles you're facing will pass so long as you keep a cool, calm, collected head about it. You're stronger than you think.
To help, treat yourself to things that feel good. Listen to music, savor tasty food, or snuggle up in a comfy blanket. This is a time for taking care of yourself and feeling grounded. Remember, self-care isn't selfish; it's essential for your overall well-being and happiness, especially during tough times.
Sagittarius
Sagittarius, it's a fresh start for you under the full flower moon. You can leave behind old ways and embrace a new you but only if you commit to that mindset. Think about how you want to look and what you want to achieve. What steps could you take to get there? How can you plan it out? What can you start working on today?
While you make these changes, don't worry about what others think. Be true to yourself and yourself only. Embrace your individuality, pursue your passions with confidence, and let yourself feel the joy that comes to you.
Capricorn
Capricorn, you've been craving privacy lately, a craving that will only be enhanced during this full moon. Spend some time on your own in peaceful solitude. It's a good time to deal with any lingering sadness and wrap up old loose ends. Take care of your body and get plenty of rest. Big ideas might come to you in dreams or through your gut feelings. If you want to stop a bad habit, now's the time.
That might all leave you feeling a little scattered, so try a guided meditation or breathing exercises that'll help ground you. Connecting your body and mind can help you make important, life-changing decisions.
Aquarius
Aquarius, it's time to take a close look at your friend circle and how it has evolved recently. You might find that you've grown closer to some friends while drifting away from others. Do you want to recover any now-distant relationships? Is there anyone close you think is doing more harm than good? Who lifts you up, and who drains you?
Your energy is precious, so spend it on those who make you feel good. Surround yourself with positive influences and people who encourage you to be your best self. You'll see that you make much more progress when you're being supported by those who care about you.
Pisces
Pisces, you're usually very adaptable, but during this full moon, you might find yourself stressing over little things more. You're feeling a bit sensitive, maybe worried that you have more eyes on you than usual, so be sure to take plenty of time to slow down and breathe. You're still in control; this is still your life, and there's nothing to be afraid of.
In fact, you've likely made some great progress on a project or personal journey lately, so why not celebrate? Even if it's just you, treat yourself. Order your favorite food and toast to your recent successes. You deserve it! Acknowledging your accomplishments and rewarding yourself for your hard work will help push you to reach for more success in the future.
