Bloom & Release: The Magic of the May Flower Full Moon

The Flower Moon is rising… and she’s bringing the medicine of blooming, beauty, and bold release.

On Monday, May 12, 2025, at 12:56 PM EDT, the moon will reach her full illumination in all her Flower Moon glory—a micromoon, yes, but her magic is no less mighty. Named for the abundant blossoms of May, this full moon invites us to witness what has finally broken through the soil and bloomed after a long inner winter.

And baby, it’s you.

This moon marks a season of growth, fertility, beauty, and the full blossoming of our intentions. But with growth comes the sacred art of release—cutting away what no longer nourishes us, like a gardener pruning with intention and love.
