Full Flower Moon

By Tara Sutphen

The Full Flower Moon (Native American) at 2* Sagittarius will culminate, on May 23, 2024, 6:53 am PDT/9:53 am EDT (Farmers Almanac). 

This Full Flower Moon is about compromising with collaborators through professional or personal relationships. This could be learning from others as well. It’s the alignment of minds. Use your intellect and wisdom to create ideas that have an opportunity to come to fruition. Implementing how to join forces with friends, co-workers, and family, using skills and tools to help yourself and others achieve the next steps or goals. Whether it is a career move or a personal one, positively influencing others to make progress. There is a proactive and considerate way towards beneficial outcomes.

This is not the time to feel ineffective, meek, or unmotivated; as others are set in place to help through struggles. Whether through listening to common sense, polishing your skill set, or being open to your elder’s/mentors’ suggestions. Throughout this month, stop to listen often, take notes, and proceed effectively.

Reflective Comprehension:

  1. Comprehend Deeper Understanding
  2. Shift your Mindset
  3. Be Collaborative
  4. Practice humility
  5. Thorough Listening
  6. Reflect on how it applies to you
  7. Don’t interrupt
  8. Be open to receiving the whole message
  9. Relax and appreciate listening
  10. Come to a comprehension
  11. What brings you value
  12. How can you add value 
  13. Implement the best advice
  14. Be Present

When you actively move towards becoming knowledgeable or successful, you allow your life to flow in a fulfilling direction. When you are collaborating, it must be a win-win with others. That can be as simple as listening, always using your gut instinct, and not doing anything against the moral code. Allow yourself to make wise choices.

  • About yourself

 Your Aspirations:

Relationships, friendships, and work can become less uncomplicated with shared enthusiasm.  Patience is a virtue, especially when listening to others’ wisdom and expertise. We learn how to achieve together in tandem. A lovely heart begins with ourselves and extends toward the goodwill of others. Trusting our intuition is a big component. Not everyone has your best interests at heart. But you can; by having the best intentions for others. It is important to live our truth… our progress is to regain our livelihood every day. It is a part of our fate and purpose to be the best we can be.

—— “What lies behind you and what lies in front of you pales in comparison to what lies inside of you.” — Ralph Waldo Emerson

Beltaine

by Tara Sutphen

Beltaine is the “Celebration of the Light”,the light time of the year. The dark time being remembered by Samhain. May 1 is the day in the middle of the spring and the summer equinox’ (10* Taurus). May Day is the time for love and the happiness of summer on it’s way.

Beltane | Beltaine is a celebration of the union of souls, The union of minds, and the union of bodies. The earth mother calls her progeny to replenish the earth. Flowers decorate hair and everywhere. Maypole ribbon dances, with two circles interweaving around a decorated tree or pole, clockwise dance circles. Bonfires or candles to spark the sacred fire of union and fertility.

Druids and Pagans raised the Beltaine fires on hilltops on May Eve, the fires were lit in order to bring the sun’s light down to earth. Earth awakening from it’s long winter nap and the flowers are in bloom and frolicking abounds. Joy alights your body, mind, and spirit, the colors become brighter, you see the best in everyone, casting away all worries and doubts you collected over the winter time.All nightmares become daydreams of love, hope and harmony.

Beltaine or Beltane is an anglicization of the Irish “Bealtaine” or the Scottish “Bealtuinn.” — “bel,”brilliant”, “tene” “fire”

Things to do on Beltaine alone or with a group

Create a Beltaine circle or group

Buy or Pick flowers

potluck

maywine (alcoholic or non alcoholic)

Candles, Fireplace, Bonfire — Lighting a fire with a blessing

May pole (you can use a tree if you don’t have a pole) garnish w. greenery and flowers – tie long ribbon

If you create a May pole, make lots of wishes while you walk clockwise into your future, and at the end of wrapping the ribbon say a blessing for yourself and end with “to love and be loved, So it is”. If the tree/pole ribbons pretty and sturdy enough you could leave until Samhain.

Some of the questions that you can ask your friends or family are:

What were the highlights in your winter? Everyone must come up with at least one if not several highlights. What are the dreams to enliven your spring and summer? Every one should convey their intentions for the summer.
