Flower Moon Energy

On May 13, the Full Moon rises in the powerful sign of Scorpio, and it brings with it an intensity that can awaken the deepest parts of our soul. Known traditionally as the Flower Moon, this lunation is named for the blooming abundance of springtime. Just as flowers open to the sun, this full moon invites you to open your heart, release buried emotions, and blossom into your next phase of transformation.

Why Is It Called the Flower Moon?

The name “Flower Moon” originates from Native American and colonial traditions, reflecting the time of year when flowers are in full bloom. This name symbolizes fertility, growth, and the blossoming of intentions planted earlier in the year. It’s a reminder that beauty emerges through time, nurturance, and patience.

What to Expect Under This Full Moon

3. Powerful Endings and New Beginnings
This lunation is a portal to transformation. Expect clarity around what needs to end so something new can be reborn.
