Embracing the Flower Full Moon on May 23rd, 2024: Rituals, Guidance, and Sacred Practices

The Flower Full Moon on May 23rd invites you to spread your wings and soar toward the highest heights your heart can dream of. Influenced by the intense energy of Pluto, this moon phase also encourages you to dive into the cavernous depths of your soul. By getting in touch with your true desires, you can refine your goals to be more aligned with your authentic self. Sagittarius, which rules higher education and knowledge, combined with Pluto’s deep influence, can push you to explore new spiritual practices or subjects of study that have intrigued you. Dive deep and start exploring beyond the surface of something meaningful, even if it feels far-fetched or outside your comfort zone.

This full moon holds tremendous promise because its ruling planet, Venus, represents love, harmony, money, and creativity. According to astrology, when two benefics like Venus and Jupiter meet, they can attract more abundance into your life, open doors to new opportunities, and give you the necessary perspective to amplify your existing success.

   • Visualize Growth: Imagine your intentions blossoming like flowers, nourished by the moon’s light. Feel the energy of growth and potential infusing your entire being.
3. Flower Ritual
• Gather Fresh Flowers: Collect fresh flowers that resonate with you. Each flower carries its own symbolism, so choose ones that align with your intentions.
