🌕 Flower Full Moon in May: A Time to Bloom, Release & Realign 🌸

Tonight, the sky is lit by the radiant energy of the Full Flower Moon, a sacred point in the lunar cycle when we are called to honor what’s blossoming in our lives—while gently releasing what no longer aligns.
The Flower Moon, named by Indigenous cultures and the Old Farmer’s Almanac, signifies the abundance of wildflowers and fertile energy that emerges across the land in May. It’s a celebration of life bursting open. A spiritual invitation to reconnect with nature, intuition, and your own inner growth.
This moon is a portal of blossoming energy—a time for shedding old skins and anchoring into clarity, beauty, and spiritual strength.
🌼 Why Is It Called the Flower Moon?
The Flower Moon earned its name from the Algonquin and other Native American tribes, who observed that May was the month when flowers blanketed the earth. It symbolizes not just literal blooming, but spiritual blooming—a time when we too begin to emerge from winter’s dormancy and lean into possibility.
In other cultures, this full moon was also called the Milk Moon, Corn Planting Moon, or Hare Moon, all pointing to fertility, nourishment, and growth.
🌕🐇 In some pagan and European traditions, the May full moon is also known as the Hare Moon—a name rich with mystical symbolism. Hares have long been associated with fertility, lunar cycles, and intuitive wisdom, often seen as sacred messengers of the moon goddess. Their presence during this time reflects themes of renewal, quickening energy, and the magical unfolding of new life. For Rabbit Hole Collections, the Hare Moon holds special meaning—it’s a powerful reminder to follow the path of curiosity, intuition, and soulful transformation, just like Alice chasing the White Rabbit. 🐇🐛🦋🎩
🧘♀️ Energetic Themes of the May Full Moon
The Flower Moon is a moment of:
Fertility & Creative Expansion
Emotional Illumination
Letting Go of What Blocks Your Bloom
Receiving Clarity & Downloads from Spirit
Aligning with Abundance & Self-Worth
Spiritually, this moon invites you to pause and ask:
🌸 What’s blooming in my life right now—and what is trying to grow, but needs more space and light?
This is an ideal time for reflection, gratitude, energetic clearing, and intention-setting. While new moons are for seeding, full moons are for seeing—clearly, intuitively, honestly.
♉️ Astrological Energy (2025 Flower Moon in Scorpio)
This year’s Flower Moon falls in the deep waters of Scorpio—a sign of transformation, intuition, mystery, and rebirth. Scorpio full moons are intensely emotional, often bringing old wounds to the surface to be acknowledged and finally healed.
Expect insights around:
Hidden emotions or buried pain
Relationships and trust dynamics
Personal power and energetic boundaries
What you’re truly ready to let go of
You may feel a heightened sense of clarity, or be called to shed old versions of yourself that are no longer in resonance with your healing path.
🔮 Full Moon Spiritual Practice Ideas
Here are some spiritual practices to align with the Flower Moon:
1. Flower Moon Release
Write down what you're ready to release—old habits, pain, patterns, or people.
Burn the paper safely under the moonlight while saying:" I release what no longer serves me. I bloom freely into my truth."
2. Moon Bathing & Grounding
Spend time under the moon, barefoot on the grass if possible.
Breathe deeply. Visualize yourself absorbing lunar healing energy and sending gratitude to the Earth.
3. Flower Offering
Place fresh flowers (wildflowers, roses, peonies, etc.) on your altar or outside as a sacred offering.
Let this symbolize your readiness to bloom and co-create with the universe.
4. Oracle or Tarot Reading
Ask: “What am I being shown under this full moon? What needs my attention?”
