Beltane and the Scorpio moon

 Beltane is just around the corner and it's bringing the full moon with it. Beltane is a Gaelic/pagan festival, part of the wheel of the year celebrating fire and the return of life. Its a time of vitality and passion, honoring the warmth of the sun. There is a focus on sensuality and pleasure, on beauty and nature. It celebrates courtship and fertility, and not just the baby makin' kind. Growth is a key theme, no matter which phase of life you are in. Now is the time to celebrate evolution in all forms.

  This year it lands on the same day as the full moon which is in the intense sign of Scorpio. Scorpio isn't afraid of change. In fact, it's often compared to the phoenix who burns herself to the ground and rises from the ashes. Scorpio strips away what isn't necessary. Beltane ushers in the new. But this isn't a quiet 'becoming'. It's a raging fire. A whirlwind of growth bursting at the seams with new life. What will you call in? What will you cast into the flames? The message here is clear: Let. It. Burn.

  Let it all burn so you can see what remains, what needs to be rebuilt, and what was never meant for you in the first place.

 This isn't the time to play small. This is the time to go full speed ahead towards your dreams. Set those intentions and be prepared to get your feet dirty doing the work. Lets not forget that you can write all the intentions in the world and pray to your gods till you're blue in the face, and most times nothing will happen until you take steps in the physical world to make it happen,too.

This May day, adorn yourself in the vibrant reds, yellows and greens of Beltane. Light candles inside, or start a fire outside. Wear flowers in your hair or throw ribbons in a tree representing your intentions and all you want to manifest.

  Let the new life you see popping up all around you remind you that this is an excellent time for growth. Don't be afraid to start a new adventure, whether it be something as small as a new hobby or as big as a career change or new health journey. We are meant to evolve and even though it may seem scary sometimes, we'll never truly know what beautiful new things are out there for us if we aren't willing to take a chance.

  Dance,cackle,and enjoy the energy my friends.
