Solar Beltane is this Friday May 5th at 11:19 am PDT. The Lunar Eclipse also takes place on May 5th at 10:22am PDT, and the exact Full Moon, which is Lunar Beltane is at 10:34am PDT in Scorpio, also known as the Flower Moon.
The celebrations of Beltane commenced on May 1, which is honoured as calendar Beltane and we will experience true Beltane when the Sun reaches 15 degrees Taurus on May 5th. This coincides with Lunar Beltane this year and the completion of the eclipse portal with the Full Moon in Scorpio.
Can you feel the shifting of energies within?
Can you sense an amplification of your sixth sense, a feeling of between the worlds?
Perhaps you've touched emotional depths this week that feel tender and/or powerful.
A potent activation on the spiral of life is happening and continues to build with the light of the moon. With the Taurus Sun and Scorpio Moon, this is a time of celebrating your fertile dreams and honouring your sensual nature. It is a time to allow for what is presently stirring in the inner realms of your Being.
And, as it’s a penumbral lunar eclipse, it is a potent time of ending, transformation and releasing of deep emotions. Hidden treasures and tribulations connected to destiny, courage, sensuality and sexuality are illuminated. Through shadow and light, this can reveal some of your greatest powers and also wounds for revelation, healing and empowerment.
With the Taurus Sun and Scorpio Moon, this is a time of celebrating your fertile dreams, honouring your erotic nature, and releasing deep emotions. Hidden treasures and tribulations connected to sensuality and sexuality are illuminated. Through shadow and light, this can reveal your greatest womb power and womb wounds for revelation, healing and empowerment!
This Full Moon activates an opening for you to reclaim your sensual and sexual power and to amplify your pleasure, worth and sovereignty. To rise in your truth and come home to the precious inner sanctum of your Womb Temple, the seat of your feminine power. You hold dominion here. No one else.
Gratitude, Self-Love and Pleasure Rituals to nourish your body are especially important right now that invite deeper layers of excavation, emotion, exploration & embodiment of your erotic innocence and sexual expression. We are in a potent crucible to release guilt and shame within our womb spaces, reconcile wounding and melt the tension of our global feminine cramp!
Great healing and reprogramming can come by delighting in passionate communion (with self or other) and honouring the gift of your sacred sensuality. Pleasure is your birthright. It is the power of Creation itself!
This Moon is also known as the Wesak Moon in Buddhist Tradition. It was the Full moon in May that the Buddha was born, later experienced enlightenment and then finally passed on from the body (YES, all on the Full Moon of May). It is said that it is during this time that we have the blessing and opportunity of Great Awakening. And so it is.

Beltane Eclipse Ritual Suggestions
Beltane Fire Ritual: Get into Nature. Take off your shoes. Breathe in the air and remember that your cycles mimic Hers. Give any of your limiting beliefs, fears and completions to the Fire (either by building one, or with candles). With movement and voice, write them down and burn them. This is an act of purification and activation and a releasing of any heavy weight or burdens you may be carrying, ready to be transformed. Anchor into the felt sense of Trust an inner knowing within you by consciously focalizing on your breath. Add movement, dance or sound if you feel inspired.
Make Love to Life: Whether this means literally making love with intentional celebration of your creative forces and pleasure, or metaphorically, this is time to put your hearts desires into motion. Especially just after the eclipse… Dance. Paint. Sing. Play music. Weave. Craft. Be on the Earth.
Beltane Moon Elixir: Combine mint / rose / tulsi / hibiscus / cinnamon tea with honey and you've got a simple and delicious elixir. Drink this during the full moon and sip all that you are grateful for and all that is transforming in your life to support your path.
This is NOT a full moon to charge your gem stones: Save this for the next full moon!
This is NOT a time for making big decisions or for drastic changes. Let yourself be slow and welcome in Divine Grace coupled with your Inner Compass.
Full Moon rituals can be done the day before, of and after the actual full moon. This is the 3 day potency period. Blessings to you in this wondrous and magical time. Attributes adopted by DJ Conway
