The Unique Cosmic Power of Tomorrow’s Full Flower Super Moon

May’s Full Moon is a special one, particularly for those who are ready to connect more deeply with the Universe and take a deep dive into meaningful, life-changing emotional shifts.
Not only is this Full Moon a Super Moon (7% bigger and about 15% brighter than a typical full Moon!), it is referred to as the Flower Moon. According to the Farmer’s Almanac, the Algonquin tribes of what is now the northeastern United States called this the Flower Moon for the flowers that are abundant this time of year and the increased fertility, as temperatures are warm enough for safely bearing young.
This is the third and last Super Full Moon of the year, and as it falls in the sign of Scorpio on May 7 at 6:45am EDT, you can expect a unique flow of energy, inspiring emotions and new vibrations within you.
Get ready for a powerful lunar ride and an intense focus on those parts of you that have been hidden or confused — because they are now ready to make themselves clearly known.
This Full Moon offers you an opening of new energy that can be equally ‘crazy’ as it is powerful, so you can expect some feisty, passionate feelings like never before as well as increased emotional strength and intuition that will help you overcome challenges. You likely have been feeling this intensity for the week prior — especially if you are one of these signs: Taurus, Leo, Scorpio or Aquarius.
As the moon falls in Scorpio, the cosmic energy can unearth both our darkest shadows and our most enlightened selves. You can capitalize on amplifying this power to manifest your highest intentions, as well as harness and tame the emotional energy circulating around you.
May’s full moon holds the element of FIRE, and so performing rituals with candles, sage, incense, or even a bonfire would intensify the power of this energy. Set the intention for fire to work with you to burn away that which no longer serves your life as you speak those things into the fire or flame. This sets a clear intention for a Ritual of Release and gives Earth elements a direct request to work with you in divine ways.
You can also write down what needs to be released from your life on a piece of paper and then say a prayer and burn it in a safe fashion, asking the fire and Mother Earth to absorb and transmute the energy of that which you are letting go into something good in your life.
Truth Illumination of the Full Moon
Truths are being illuminated (especially in relationships), so now is the time to open up fully and accept the truths, secrets or desires that were once hidden. If you fear these truths, this cosmic energy will give you the strength to face them, open yourself up to them, and move yourself towards the brighter path your soul truly desires.
This is a time to not resist or fear the truths coming forward or the emotional intensity they can bring up. It is this intensity that becomes the cathartic catalyst that the Universe and you called in to co-create the positive change that is for your Highest Good. Call in the Light any time fear or doubt comes up and continue to ask Source/God to fill you with love and acceptance of the Highest Caliber.
These illuminated truths may result in letting something go from your life — something that is keeping you stuck, or no longer serving your Highest Self. Those in a toxic relationship, a negative mindset, a stagnant job or a one-sided friendship will find that this Full Moon will allow you to harness the energy and confidence to become unstuck, then carry the knowledge that your soul is finally ready to blossom fully.
Honor the beautiful cleansing of endings and embrace the powerful transformation of new beginnings.
We all carry strength to transform and evolve under the light of this Flower Moon, as long as we consciously take steps toward change.
The truth is, once you tap into the magical power that the Full Moon opens up for you, you become the magnificent co-creator that you were born to be.
Full Flower Super Moon Ritual
Rituals are a beautiful way for you to connect more deeply with the Universe and your Inner Being and tap into your personal power to manifest what you truly desire.
Full Flower Moon Fire Ritual Tools:
- Cushion, favorite chair or special prayer space
- (Ritual can be done outside or inside)
- Candle (white, if possible) & lighter
- Optional: Sage, incense, crystals, spiritual items
- Device to play music
- Clothing color of element of Fire: Red, Orange or yellow
- Notebook, journal or paper & pen
- Glass of purified water
Step 1: Commune with the Moon
In your best fire ritual outfit of gold, orange or red, and with any crystals or gemstone jewelry to match, go and sit outside under the Full Moon, even if you cannot see her.
Open your arms, tilt your head up to the sky and ask that the energy of Source/God and the Full Moon fill you and support you.
Breathe in deeply the divine powerful lunar energy in the air.
Step 2: Clear and Protect Your Sacred Space
If available, burn sage, incense or a candle with a clearing intent.
Say a prayer of protection:
“I ask that only those energies, Guides, Angels and spirits that are of the White Light of God be allowed around me to assist in this ritual to magnify and connect with the power of the Full Moon.”
Ask your Angels, Guides & Higher Power to join you and fill the space with energy of LOVE & LIGHT. Meditate for several moments in this divine energy as you feel the air lighten.
Step 3: Set the Energy
Utilizing the Fire element of the Full Moon, light a white candle as a sacred symbol. Set the intention for ritual as you light the flame:
“I set the intention that this ritual be held sacred for my Highest Good in releasing and manifesting what I desire in my life. I ask that this space be kept at the Highest Divine Vibration and that it remain sanctified and expanded with the power of the Full Moon throughout this ritual and beyond.”
Play any inspiring soft music, drumming, natural sounds or chanting that makes you feel connected. I prefer shamanic drumming or binaural beats.
Step 4: Set Your Full Moon Intentions
Grab your paper/notebook/journal and pen and write down what you would like for the Universe to release. On another page, write down what you would like for the Universe to bring in.
Stay easy on yourself and slip into a state of allowance.
Step 5: Manifest by Visualizing
Drink some purified water. Envision White Light coming down from Heaven, wrapping you in peace. Let the White Light purify and calm you.
If you have a burn safe container (metal bowl, fireplace, etc.), light the paper on fire and ask that the fire absorb and transmute all that you would like to release. Ask that Source/God uses the fire to transform it, creating something positive and beautiful out of the old.Take your other piece of paper with your desires written on it.
Breathe deeply, take a sip of water, and ask that the flame of the candle help to draw them closer to you.
Step 6: Appreciation
Thank the fire, the moon, Mother Earth, God/Source/Spirit, your Angels, Guides and ancestors for their support.
Focus on what is thriving in your life and what you are grateful for.
Express gratitude for all of the support that Spirit is giving you and all that is already on its way.
Step 7: Allow
For the next 30 days, which is one moon cycle, return to a place of allowance every time you think about your beautiful ritual.
Open up your journal of intentions as often as feels right to you and visualize your wishes showing up.
Let go. Trust. And expect Full Moon Magic to appear.
