The Full Flower Moon appears on Friday, May 1 at 1:23 pm ET. The Flower Moon is one of the beautiful moons of the year. Flowers begin to bloom, the trees become verdant, and the loveliness of nature fills the world. The sun sits in Taurus with its gifts of abundance, beauty, and fertility. This Full Moon, the Wesak Moon, marks the moment of Buddha’s enlightenment when Great Masters send light, peace, and waves of evolution to our planet.

Several planets are placed in fire signs, which can give passion or impetuousness. Seven planets aspect Pluto, which rules the subconscious and transformation. The aspects offer the opportunity to see beyond the ordinary and look deeply into the self. They give insights into the negative patterns of life, giving the possibility of transformation through higher consciousness and self-realization.

It’s a fertile moon with Sun (light) in Taurus, and Moon (emotion) in Scorpio—both are feminine signs.  When the moon appears in fertile, feminine signs, the earth is receptive. It is also receptive to our inner thoughts and feelings, which enhances our ability to manifest.

Sun (life, light) in Taurus represents determination, stability, stubbornness, abundance, and the ability to put thoughts into physical (material) form. Sun square Pluto (subconscious, transformation) indicates power struggles, control issues, and hidden truths. It also refers to embracing the shadow and regenerating the self.

Moon in Scorpio hints at transformation, mystical energy, and deep emotion. Moon trine Jupiter (expansion) gives a time of harmony, optimism, and emotional growth. Moon square Pluto (subconscious, transformation) may lead to controlling behavior or greater awareness of similar behavior in others. (It’s a good time to transcend the victim/perpetrator/hero cycle.)

Mercury (communication, electronics) in Aries, a fire sign, is bold and loves moving forward in life. Mercury square Jupiter (expansion, good fortune) expands boldness, risk taking, and ambition. Mercury square Pluto (subconscious, transformation) sharpens the mind, particularly with research and serious thought. It helps with deciphering mysteries and uncovering secrets.

Venus (love, relationships, art) in Gemini is flirtatious and social. Venus conjunct Uranus (change, quantum field) can bring sudden changes, emotions, and surprises. It encourages independence and authenticity. Venus trine Pluto (subconscious, transformation) boosts passion and intensity. It gives a wave of energy for creating aspects of life that bring harmony and joy.

Mars (assertion, overall energy) in Aries represents the Greek god of war. It boosts ambition but also causes impatience, discontent, and arguments.  Mars square Jupiter (expansion) brings high energy, a desire for change, and overconfidence. Mars conjunct Saturn (limitation, karma) combines action, intensity, patience, and planning. (Take a step forward and appraise before moving forward again.)

Jupiter (expansion, good fortune) in Cancer rules the home life. It’s a good time to reassess, improve, and make small changes to our domestic life. Jupiter square Saturn (karma, limitation) may cause significant shifts in politics and power structures.

Saturn (limitation, karma) in Aries asks for disciplined action, control of impulsiveness, the importance of leadership roles, and responsibility for our actions. Saturn sextile Neptune (illusion, mysticism) dissolves old social/political structures while opening the door to spirituality and collective self-discovery.

Uranus (sudden change, quantum field) in Gemini emphasizes communication, electronics, transportation, and rapid information processing. It brings chaotic but brilliant energy with information overload and frequent changes in perspective.  Uranus sextile Neptune (illusion, mysticism) expands interest in the spiritual world—it heightens insights and intuition. Uranus trine Pluto (subconscious, transformation) acts as a catalyst for personal growth, inner power, and offers a harmonious shift to move through subconscious patterns.

Neptune (illusion, mysticism) in Aries marks the move from dreamy contemplation into a strong desire to create a place dreams into a practical format. Neptune sextile Pluto (subconscious, transformation) stimulates the imagination, asks for questioning the accepted way of thinking and acting, and helps to elevate the spiritual nature.

Pluto (subconscious, transformation) in Aquarius marked times of rebellion in the past. At this point,  it may refer to important shifts in consciousness and greater understanding of the world at large.
