May Day/Full Moon/Beltane

 Happy Scorpio Full Moon. Its a strong one and we will continue to feel it for days to come.  The following  is not my own writing: A week of migraines has me  not up for much. This is  excepted from  The Alchemist - Astrology blog that resonates very much. I love May Day/Beltane: and having a Full Moon on this special day makes it even better (and more powerful). Enjoy the read and I will come back and write a little more when I can.

 

“Beltane is the great Festival of Fire, celebrating fertility, creation, and the ecstatic union of the God and the Goddess. It is a time when the earth is lush and bursting with life-force energy. To have a Full Moon peak precisely on this night amplifies the magic tenfold.

But this is not a gentle, airy Moon. This Full Moon occurs in the deep, transformative, and intensely magical sign of Scorpio. Scorpio rules the mysteries, the occult, our deepest desires, and the power of rebirth. While Beltane lights the fires of passion on the surface, the Scorpio Full Moon dives deep into our souls, urging us to burn away what no longer serves us and to claim our most hidden, authentic desires. Together, they create a crucible of profound alchemical transformation.

 

Naturally opposing the Sun in earthy, sensual Taurus, this Scorpio Full Moon highlights the Beltane axis, balancing our most intense emotional depths with vibrant, grounded life force.

 

Further amplifying the magic, the Full Moon forms a dynamic, square to Pluto, the lord of the underworld, pushing us to fearlessly confront our shadows, release toxic power dynamics, and face the unspoken truths lingering just beneath the surface.

 

Meanwhile, a fiery Mars in Aries forms a potent square to expansive Jupiter in Cancer, injecting the night with a massive surge of raw, courageous motivation. 

 

Together, these aspects create an alchemical crucible that demands absolute honesty and rewards bold, passionate action, ensuring that what we birth from the Beltane fires is completely and utterly transformative.”  The Alchemist
