Lunar Beltane: Love, Gratitude and Transformation
If you’re like me, then you have felt the intensity of transformation afoot lately. The eclipse energy symbolizing “out with the old, in with the new,” was magical, yet a little harrowing for some of us.

There is already a sweet reprieve in the air, an anticipatory sense of something coming into bloom. Our full moon on April 23rd is the Lunar Beltane. Lunar Beltane, rather than Solar Beltane, refers to the full moon that occurs when the sun is in the house of Taurus. This is when the Beltane energy really begins to make itself known. Beltane, or May Day, is a celebration of fertility, sexuality, romance, and Love. Romantic Love, as well as the many different energies and forms Love takes… Love as a force in Nature and in the Universe.
Can you feel the full moon energy amplifying your sixth sense, a feeling of magick, of sensing between the worlds?
The light of this Lunar Beltane moon brings a potent activation, an opportunity to send our intentions rippling out into the spiral of life. The Taurus Sun and Scorpio Moon is a chance to give your own love to your fertile dreams and to really appreciate your existence by living into your sensual nature. It is a good time to allow what’s been building and stirring in the inner realms of your being to have a pleasurable expression.
Exploring and releasing deep, Scorpionic emotions helps us tune in to the messages of our own cycles. Hidden treasures connected to soul gifts, destiny, courage, sensuality and sexuality are illuminated by this magic moon. Through bravely exploring both shadow and light, some of the greatest inner wisdom and dormant powers – and also possible wounds for revelation, healing and empowerment – can be revealed. Our awareness and attention to these areas opens the door for the alchemy of transformation. Let it be motivated by Love. Don’t forget to include Love in your self-talk!
