May's Full Moon

Full Moon: May 21, 5:15 P.M. EST

Saturday May 21st we will see the third of four full moons in the same season. The "Blue Moon" will meet Mars, the red plant, just as it comes closest to Earth. Mars has its best "opposition" since 2005 and will not be this close to us or this bright for more than a decade.
 
May's moon is known by many names. Mother's Moon, Milk Moon, and Corn Planting Moon. The moon during this month marks time of increased fertility with temperatures warm enough to bear young, with plants in bloom and the end to late frosts.

The Moon has positive and negative effects on us that impact our relationships. Positive traits include patience, sympathy, good memory, caring and receptivity. Negative traits are emotional instability, mood swings, touchiness and worry. 

When the moon is bright with abundant light, our emotions surge and it makes it easier to clearly express feelings making this the night to show love and appreciation. The Moon's cycles affect the pattern of our thoughts, emotions and even the hormones in the body. The Moon represents the psyche of the human and rules the mind and balances the emotions and moods. 

In the astrological aspect, the Full Moon is associated with prosperity and divinity. It is considered to be very auspicious for spiritual and material activities. The Moon will assume a powerful position May 21st as this is the day the Sun and Moon are directly opposite each other. 

Those born on a Full Moon are intelligent, attractive and have wealth. They love to learn about themselves through their close relationships and their ultimate goal is to have peace. They are willing to work to achieve peace in their lives. 

The Full Moon is ideal for love, romance and relationships. It makes us more aware of what is around us and gives a deeper meaning of relationships. The Full Moon sheds light on dark shadows of our consciousness and can assist with renewing love between partners in long standing relationships. It can help those who have suffered through misunderstandings and brings buried emotions to light. ​

The Full Moon is not always on the positive for some as it also denotes dissolution, reversals, culmination or the end of past hurts. This forces us to look into the situation and find out where things have gone wrong and look for a chance to seeking ways of restoring balance. With self discovery, relationships can become stronger with effort and compromise. The Full Moon can give us clarity to see the needs around us and guide us in love, harmony and passion.
​
With the Full Moon in Sagittarius, we will be energized and it won't take much for us to act more emotional than usual. As a mutable sign, the Full Moon means we can be swayed or more flexible. If your life is at a stalemate, now is the time to do something about it. With the Moon in Sagittarius, we seek fun and adventure in which adds a level of excitement, energy and impulsiveness.
 
Mercury is stationary in Taurus and adds another layer to the Full Moon.  This makes us think slower, make less choices and open to communicating more with those around us. For those who are feeling stuck in situations, the feelings will be amplified. Our bodies are slower to move, while our minds are racing, so take it easy since some are more prone to accidents.
 
Use the energy of the Full Moon to release and clear out old Spiritual habits or practices. Use the energetic Moon and make things happen. Release what no longer feels good and enjoy life.

Hindu mythology says, "Goddess Parvati is the ruling deity of the Moon." It is said, praying to her on the Full Moon will yield good results in building loving and lasting relationships. This can also heal broken relationships, promote harmony and restore peace and well being in one's life. Those looking for love can attract a partner and married couples, or those with partners, will find their relationship becoming stronger through chanting the KLEEM mantra to the Goddess. 

For those of you interested in the Mantra: It is recommended to sit in a comfortable posture. Imagine a red flame as you focus your attention on your third eye and chant Kleemmmmmmmm Kleemmmmmmmm Kleemmmmmmmm, while stretching the "M" sound. 

Kleem Mantra is created with sound of 4 seeds.
- First seed is ‘K’. ‘K’ is the seed of Goddess Mahakali.
-Second seed is ‘L’. ‘L’ is the seed of basic chakra and has powerful red color energy.
-Third seed is ‘E’. ‘E’ is the seed of speed and in this mantra we have double E for more speed and in Hindi language we use big E (Badi E).
Fourth seed is ‘M’. ‘M’ is the seed of God’s power.
