Flower Moon of May
The Flower Moon on Friday, May 5th is a special event that combines a lunar eclipse with the Beltane cross-quarter day, when the sun reaches 15 degrees in Taurus. This celestial phenomenon is also known as the day of Venus, which adds to the loving energy that we can expect on this day. The Flower Moon is called such because it signals the blossoming of flowers and the relief of the disappearing cold. This is a day of joy, with fragrances and colors appearing everywhere. It is a time to celebrate and embrace happiness.
Happiness is an essential part of our lives, and it can be found in simple things. Taking the time to acknowledge what brings us joy is an essential part of living a fulfilling life.
