The springtime of Lovers has come, that this dust bowl may become a
garden; the proclamation of heaven has come, that the bird of the soul
may rise in flight. The sea becomes full of pearls, the salt marsh
becomes sweet as kauthar, the stone becomes a ruby from the mine, the
body becomes wholly soul.
.
-- Rumi

SAGITARIUS BLUE MOON
THURSDAY MAY 31
EXCERPTS FROM ASTROLOGER MARIA
VAIANO
We’ve all heard the expression “Once in a Blue
Moon”. In fact, we use it in a sarcastic way to comment on
the rarity in which something occurs. Astronomically however, there is
significance to this event.
A Blue Moon occurs approximately once every 2 and half years. It is
simply the occurrence of two Full Moons in one calendar month and
astrologically I feel it symbolizes a month of intense emotions for all
of us.
Think about it. A Full Moon is the time of culmination in our monthly
lunar cycle. It is when our tides are highest, we physically hold more
water (yes it’s true!) and when we are at our most sensitive.
Wherever the Full Moon occurs in your natal chart, you can be sure that
emotions will run high concerning the matters it activates and there is
likely to be a completion of some sort. There could also be a reward
during a Full Moon since culmination and endings are not necessarily
negative. They are simply emotional!
This month, the Full Moon occurs in Scorpio on May 2nd and then in
Sagittarius on May 31st. The Scorpio lunation will bring matters
concerning power, money, sex, shared resources, manipulation and
possible deception to the forefront. An area concerning your personal
power will need to be confronted and if you’ve been running
away or deceiving yourself about a Scorpio matter, this Full Moon will
bite you!
The Blue Moon on the 31st is in the philosophical sign of Sagittarius
and your beliefs are going to be put to the test especially with the
conjunction the Full Moon receives from retrograde Jupiter in
Sagittarius. How you feel about what you believe may be changed. Again,
this type of ending is not necessarily negative. Full Moons sometimes
ask us to let go of what is no longer serving us.
