The first calendar Blue Moon since August 30, 2023 rises at 4:45 a.m. ET on May 31. Microsatellites are far away from Earth at apogee, making them appear smaller. Yet even in its most distant elliptical orbit of the year, the Moon’s radiant and radical energy is keenly felt.
Tarot card reader and author Sobriety Magic: Using Tarot Cards and Ritual on Your Sobriety JourneySarah Porter explains: “The Blue Moon symbolizes an energetic moment of completion, letting go of what no longer serves us and embracing new opportunities.”
“Because this is the second full moon in May (the first is May 1), it provides a window for manifestation,” she continued. “This is a beautiful time to set long-term goals or let go of something that requires a big push to release and grieve in order to move on to the next phase of your life.”
This rare full moon – the next one to occur on December 31, 2028 – marks the peak of the current lunar cycle and contains a series of celestial extremes that make it electric. Responsible Saturn in Aries reminds us to throw caution to the wind. Meanwhile, evanescent Neptune in Aries and evocative Pluto retrograde in Aquarius offer us the prospect of changing our perspectives and philosophies. We are opening our eyes to what we have chosen to ignore in the past and carefully developing our principles. Fortunately, the favorable star Antares brings good luck to our motivations and adventures.
“Combined with the energy of Sagittarius, this moon encourages us to take steps of faith toward the life we truly want, trusting that growth is possible once we stop shrinking ourselves to fit old fears, old identities, or outdated limitations,” adds Porter.
