Full Moon Crystal Grid for today’s Flower moon. Full moon in Scorpio, May 1st at 18:23 BST. 🌝🌕
Themes
The themes for this full moon are relationships with deep transformations, healing conversations, commitment in love , expansive emotions, old patterns and aligning with your own truth. The Scorpio moon illuminates whatever has been hiding beneath the surface, old wounds, fears, attachments, and limiting beliefs and patterns that you have outgrown. This transformative moon occurs on Beltane, the ancient fire festival of creation, fertility and new beginnings. Together they create a powerful balance of release and renewal with the moon asking you to let go and Beltane asking you to ignite what you truly want to grow.
This moon is the first full moon in May, with a second ‘Blue Moon’ occurring at the end of the month, bringing further culmination and completion to what is initiated now. The last time Beltane, the Scorpio Full moon and 31day Blue Moon occurred in this exact arrangement was in 1988. This rare Blue Moon portal provides the best opportunity for soul led manifestation this year. Your desires magnetise toward you with more speed than normal and your words carry extraordinary manifesting power, so be very careful what you wish for.
Venus in Gemini sextile Saturn in Aries as the full moon peaks softens the Scorpio moon’s bite, helping you solidly commitments and make long term plans regarding relationships and finances with a clear head and full heart. And Mercury conjunct Chiron is a wound learning to speak and any conversations you have around this time are likely to be therapeutic and offer the opportunity to heal old wounds.
Intention
The intention for this grid is to identify the habits, patterns, attachments and fears that you have outgrown, and transmute and transform them with courage and clarity to set yourself free to move forward unburdened.
That intention is written as having already happened to heighten its frequency and manifesting ability: “With courage and clarity, I identified the habits, patterns and fears that I had outgrown and no longer serve me, I transmuted and transformed them to set myself free to move forward unburdened.”
Using the Grid Energy
To use the energy of this grid, focus on the intention and the crystals for a few minutes, visualising clearly how your transformed self and life looks having set yourself free by transmuting and releasing old thought patterns and behaviours that were holding you back. Sense how that transformation in yourself and the subsequent change in your life feels in your body. It’s important that you really feel the emotion attached to the experience so that you align vibrationally with what you want to become your reality. Without the matching resonance, that is very difficult, if not impossible. Then simply be open to allowing it all to unfold without trying to control how it happens. Trust and have faith that it will. ✨💫
Thank you crystals for supporting me to clearly see and accept what has been holding me back, and helping me to release, transmute and transform those parts of myself, allowing me to align with my soul desires and stand fully in my power and sovereignty as I move forward in my life unburdened. 🙏💎
