My dears,

I wanted to meet you here, softly, intentionally, under the light of this full moon.

This one is not ordinary.

This full moon in Scorpio arrives at the threshold of Beltane, an ancient turning of the wheel. Beltane, the midpoint between spring and summer, is a portal of life force, fertility, fire, creation, and becoming. It is the earth in bloom, unapologetic and abundant. It is desire awakening in the body. It is the sacred yes to life.

And Scorpio…Scorpio is the underworld. The unseen. The keeper of truth, intimacy, and transformation.

So what happens when these two meet?

We are asked to hold both:the blooming and the shedding,the fire and the water,the life that is rising… and the parts of us that must be released to make space for it.

This is a rare kind of alchemy.

You may feel more sensitive than usual.More aware of what no longer fits.More attuned to your desires, your boundaries, your truth.

This is not by accident.

Beltane reminds you that you are allowed to live fully, sensually, creatively, joyfully.Scorpio reminds you that to do so, you must be honest about what weighs you down, what binds you, what you have outgrown.

Together, they create a sacred invitation:

To release with devotion.To open with courage.To become with intention.

There is nothing you need to force during this time.

Transformation is not always loud.Sometimes it is a quiet decision.A soft letting go.A moment where you choose yourself in a way you hadn’t before.

I want you to know, deeply, that wherever you are in this process… you are held.

You are not behind.You are not too much.You are not missing anything.

You are in the exact place where your becoming can begin again.

So tonight, or whenever you find yourself beneath this moon, I invite you to sit with yourself gently. Place a hand on your heart. Listen inward.

If it feels right, whisper this prayer:

May I release what I have been carrying beyond its time.May I trust the quiet wisdom within me.May I honor both my softness and my power.May I open to the life that is waiting for menot through force, but through truth.

May I remember that I am allowed to bloomeven after I have let something go.

You are part of something ancient and cyclical.Just like the moon, you are allowed to wane and to rise.Just like the earth, you are allowed to rest and to bloom.

Nothing about you is out of rhythm.

Stay close to yourself in this time.Move slowly.Listen deeply.

There is something sacred unfolding in you and it is enough.

With so much warmth,Im always with you
