FIRE
From Air we flow into Fire, the Southerly element of the Sun. Connecting to the full bloom energy of the creative mother in the womens wheel. In the mens wheel we meet the warrior - that is the protector. Harnessing what is present. Air ignites Fire and like the dormant seed we are sparked into life. In the fullness of the moon we meet the fullness of our subconscious realms. In fire we meet the crucible of being and are forced to forge through - purifying, refining and aligning with the flame of our being. What are we being asked to activate and use our life force energy for?
Consider how you relate to this element?

Please listen to this Fire transmission
Fecund and Fertile ~ in the Northern Hemisphere the energy of the earth is rising. In the Southern Hemisphere our kin are traversing the final harvest tide as the energies wane back into the earth
MOON
Full Moon in Scorpio ~ a fixed water sign is the energy that governs this illumination and bringing its archetypal intensity to Taurus season. It echoes the seeming polarity of the Samhain portal and the descent that balances the ascent
ALCHEMY
Full Moon Fire meets the depth charge of water as we navigate the season of Earthly delights. Fire and Water are the ultimate alchemy. Consider that Water is chemically made up of Hydrogen and Oxygen - ie they should be the most flammable combination on earth - and yet they compound to make water!
SEASON
Taurus season in the wheel of the priestess is represented by The Lovers. This is a season to get embodied. To shake off the colder months and bask in the light of the sun. Taurus is a season that revels in comfort, beauty, sensuality and earthly pleasures. Governed by Venus this is the Season of Love - hand-fastings, fertility rites and indulging in creative and freeing pursuits. The bull wants us to be heavy on the earth, to connect deeply to nourishment and self care - the festival of Beltane asked us to meet our fire in the solar spotlight unashamedly.
What does it mean to harness this fire (life-force / passion / desire) and where do we give our power over to it or ruminate too long? As we lean into connection over longer days we find more ways to deepen into the relational field and the shadow work that lies within it
KEY THEMES
Blossoming • Bright • Pleasure • Joy • Renewed energy • Growth • Earthing
Deep diving • Clarity • excavation
GODDESS
Charis or Aglaea is one of the ‘Graces’ in Greek lore. One of the three goddesses of grace, beauty, sacred adornment, fun and festivity. A goddess of sensual sexual love and basking in our own.
It was once considered essential to bask in sacred adornment - as an honouring of individual power and allurement. To make the codes of life visible and thus evoke pleasure and connection
JOURNAL
Scorpio is ruled by Mars and Pluto to give you a flavour of the potential energetic dancing partners for this full moon
One contemplation might be useful to feel into how Taurus energy feels for you. Is it tiring to be pulled to the Earth realms? Are you invigorated? (As ever there is no better answer or way of being - its simply a deepening of how your energy flows with the seasonal currents for personal insight). As we learn how to personally harness our individual energy flows it becomes a powerful honouring of our creative force and understanding of others
PLANETARY ALIGNMENTS
Pluto went Retrograde in the sign of Aquarius on May 4th and continues through that back spin cycle until early October. Pluto being in the early stages of this retro motion - combined with the Scorpionic full moon will bring light to revisiting deep (sex, death, the occult) power struggles in the collective / community. Please do find out what your personal Pluto placement is (we will be visiting this in our Community Call on Monday evening)
Mercury enters Taurus before the full moon suggesting we have some Earthly communication to tend to - particularly as Mercury squares Pluto on the day of the full moon. There may be communications that unveil hidden secrets or deep yearnings that come to light
EMBODIMENT
Life force temple dance
Playing with the energy of embodying the Sea Serpent - slough off your dead skin and move to your own rhythm. Play with flow and unexpected movement patterns. Seek out unexpected and playful parts of yourself - just for the fun of it
INCANTATION
“May I dare to dance with the darkness and all the medicine that it reveals for my souls journey”
FLOWERFACE
Do you know Blodeuwedd? She is a native goddess of these lands deeply connected to flower lore - I highly recommend seeking out her story at this time of year
Lilac is the fleeting etherial beauty I am currently working with which has its earthly home governed by Venus. All Lilacs are totally edible. What is so magical about them is their inability to be captured - The flowers don’t contain any oil so their essence (in flower terms their Soul) is impossible to distill…working with her energy is a truly wonderful and fleeting opportunity (as is any bloom and we should revel in each seasonal delight as much as we can)
