This moment in the year carries a very particular kind of energy -
one that feels alive, expansive, and quietly powerful.
It’s the meeting of the Full Moon in Scorpio and Beltane -
a combination of depth and celebration, release and creation.
But what exactly is Beltane?
Beltane is an ancient seasonal festival, traditionally celebrated on May 1st.
Rooted in Celtic tradition, it marks the height of spring -
a time when the earth is in full bloom, full of life, fertility, and possibility.
It was historically honoured with fire rituals, dancing, and gathering in community.
A celebration of light, warmth, connection, and the simple joy of being alive.
At its core, Beltane is about:
✨ Life force energy
✨ Passion and desire
✨ Creation and new beginnings
✨ Connection to the body and the earth
It’s a reminder that life is not just something to move through -
it’s something to feel.
The Full Moon in Scorpio
Alongside this, the Full Moon in Scorpio brings a very different, but complementary energy.
Scorpio invites depth.
It asks us to look beneath the surface - to feel what’s real, to acknowledge what’s been hidden, and to release what no longer serves us.
This is the energy of transformation.
Of shedding.
Of letting go so that something new can emerge.
The balance of both
Together, these energies create something powerful:
Beltane says - come alive
Scorpio says -be honest about what needs to change
One expands you outward
The other draws you inward
And in that balance, there is real transformation.
Full Moon Journal Prompts
What am I holding onto that I know, deep down, I am ready to release?
What truth is asking to be acknowledged, even if it feels uncomfortable?
What desires are rising within me - and how can I honour them more fully?
A Simple Beltane Ritual
Tonight, create a small moment for yourself.
Light a candle.
Sit quietly.
Reflect on what you’re ready to release.
Write it down, and if it feels right, safely burn the paper -
a symbolic act of letting go.
Then take a moment to connect to what you want to invite in.
Not just in your mind, but in your body.
Feel it. Imagine it. Let it be real.
A final note
This is a moment of transformation -
but also one of celebration.
You are allowed to release and feel light.
To let go and move forward.
To honour both your depth and your joy.
Trust what is shifting.
Trust what is calling you forward.
