May the 1st,
2026.
The full moon falls in Scorpio,
And Scorpio is intense,
Transformative water sign.
So the full moon happens when the sun and the moon are in opposite signs.
The sun is in Taurus,
Which is earth,
Stability and sensuality,
And the moon is in Scorpio,
Which is depth,
Emotion,
Shadow and rebirth.
So the themes around this new full moon are security versus transformation and holding on versus letting go.
This isn't a light and fluffy full moon.
It's about confronting truths,
Emotional release and deep shifts.
Now the 1st of May is also Beltane.
Beltane is an ancient Celtic festival marking peak spring fertility,
Rising life,
Force and passion,
And the union of the masculine,
Which is the sun,
And the feminine,
Which is earth.
The core themes around Beltane are creation and manifestation,
Creative energy and celebrating life,
Nature and desire.
The planetary vibe around this time.
So here's a broader planetary backdrop.
The sun is in Taurus,
Which is grounded,
Focused on stability and physical reality.
It wants comfort,
Security and tangible results.
The moon is in Scorpio,
Which is emotional intensity,
Truth seeking,
Endings and rebirths,
Bringing hidden things to the surface.
The Mercury is direct in Taurus,
Aries zone,
So that means communication becomes more practical but blunt,
And conversations may revolve around values,
Money and relationships.
Venus is likely in a fiery or expressive sign,
Boosting passion,
Which is very Beltane at the moment.
In Mars,
Which is drive and action,
Adds heat and impulsive energy,
Amplifying desire,
Conflict or action.
So why is this alignment so strong?
Beltane is creative passion and fertility,
And Scorpio on the full moon is release,
Transformation and emotional truth.
And together they create a paradoxical portal.
You may feel pulled to connect,
Create and desire deeply,
While also needing to release,
Purge or transform something.
In plain terms,
You can step into the new passion without shedding old emotional weight.
If you work with the energy,
The best approach is release first,
Then call in what you actually want.
So,
We're going to do the meditation now.
So I want you to sit or lie down comfortably.
Close your eyes and take a slow breath in through your nose,
And out through your mouth.
Again,
Inhale deeply and exhale,
Letting your body soften.
Let your shoulders drop.
Unclench your jaw and relax.
Your hands.
Imagine roots growing from your body into the air.
Steady,
Keeping you safe.
With every inhale,
Drop,
Release tension.
In,
Into the air.
Release tension,
Down,
Into the air.
Deep,
Steady.
Now imagine a deep,
Dark,
Gently shines down.
What's hidden?
Ask yourself,
Quietly,
What am I ready?
Don't force an answer.
Just notice what arises.
Don't force an answer.
Just notice what arises.
Visualize it in front of you.
Now see it dissolving,
Breaking apart,
Turning into smoke.
Inhale slowly.
With each breath out.
With each breath out.
And say silently,
What no longer serves me.
Step closer.
Feel its warmth.
Feel its warmth.
The fire represents passion,
Creation.
Ask yourself.
And see it forming.
Is it love?
Is it creativity?
Is it love?
Now imagine that light entering your body.
The release of the moon.
The release of what no longer serves me.
And what do I want to call?
Feel them balancing inside you.
Feel the weight of your body.
Where you are sitting in the chair,
Lying down.
