The Full Flower Moon arrives in May when spring reaches its fullest expression. Gardens burst with new life, and wild meadows show their brightest colors. This moon marks the time when nature displays its most spectacular beauty. It reminds us to pause and notice the small wonders around us.

This particular moon holds special meaning because it arrives during peak bloom season. Fruit trees display their delicate petals. Garden flowers open their faces to the sun. Even the smallest wildflowers make their presence known along roadsides and forest paths.

Take Time to Notice

Find a quiet spot outside during the evening of May 12. Look around at the natural world as the moon rises. Notice which flowers have opened in your area. Pay attention to the subtle changes in your garden or neighborhood.

Journal Prompts

• What positive changes are starting to show up in your life?
• Which dreams or hopes feel ready to bloom?
• How can you help nurture growth in yourself and others?
• What new beginnings would you like to celebrate?

Like flowers opening one petal at a time, personal growth happens gradually. Some changes appear suddenly, while others develop slowly over time. Every small step forward matters, just as every flower adds to the beauty of spring.

Looking Forward

Consider what you want to accomplish by the next Full Flower Moon. Write down three specific goals you’d like to achieve. Think about what steps you can take to move closer to these goals.

Gratitude Practice

List five things currently blooming in your life. These can be relationships, projects, personal growth, or actual flowers in your garden. Express thankfulness for each item on your list.

<aside> Remember: Just as flowers bloom in their own time, your journey unfolds at its perfect pace. Trust the process of growth.
