This Month We Honor May’s Flower Moon. 

Other names for this moon include: Milk Moon and Hare Moon.

This month’s moon got its name because many flowers are in full bloom after the rains of April.

Important Dates:

May 1st - Beltane

May 4th - New Moon

May 11th - First Quarter Moon (Waxing Moon)

May 18th - Full Moon

May 26th - Third Quarter Moon (Waning Moon)

Intention: To connect and commit to my intuition and spirit.

The May moon is a time for making commitments and making steady progress. Spend time in nature to connect with your intuition, your higher power, and your spirit guides. Perform lots of rituals (particularly with divination) alone or with your friends. Give hugs and laugh under the enchanting light of the May full moon.

Dear Moon and dear Universe,

I am excited to co-create with you throughout the lunar cycle of the Flower Moon. I know I live in a world full of magic and possibility, and I choose to step into my power every single day. As I electronically send up my intentions to you, I already know my desires are a done deal. I’m a goddess who manifests all her desires beautifully, and I know the Universe always delivers in the most magical, unexpected ways. I believe everything that unfolds over this next lunar cycle is for my highest good.

I will write these goals without censoring or limiting myself. Anything is possible. I give myself permission to go after the biggest, craziest, wildest dreams and I am guided by my intuition. I know that it’s totally cool to change my mind. My desires can change just as the moon changes from phase to phase. I embrace fluidity. I embrace divine timing. And I’m so ready for this.

Note: The most powerful affirmations are written in the first person and in present tense (as if you’ve already achieved your goal) with a focus on the positive aspects of your goal. For example instead of: “ Get rid of credit card debt.” say, “I have more than enough money for everything I’ve already purchased and everything I desire to purchase.”

Note from Julie: Your answers will never be shared with anyone.

“I recommit to my spiritual journey, and I know I bring a special, unique light to this magical universe. I honor my guides as I share my power with the world.”

Gratitude is the secret sauce to manifesting. If you’re grateful for the wonderful things you have in your life—even if it’s just a glimmer—more good will flow toward you.
