Northern Hemisphere
May 2, 2024
The Moon’s current phase for today and tonight is a Waning Crescent phase. This phase is best viewed just before the sunrise in the western sky. In this phase the Moon’s illumination is growing smaller each day until the New Moon. During this part of the Moon cycle, the Moon is getting closer to the Sun as viewed from Earth and the night side of the Moon is facing the Earth with only a small edge of the Moon being illuminated. It can also be a great time to see the features of the Moon’s surface. Along the edge where the illuminated portion meets the dark side, the craters and mountains cast long shadows making them easier to observe with a telescope or binoculars.

Divination Journal
Today’s Divination Journal takes parts from divination posts done by Lady of the Abyss spanning a few different years. The year they were first posted and any notes by Lady Beltane will be in { } next to the type of reading it is. With doing this tribute to Lady Abyss some of the regular divination topics will be missing because Lady A did not post all the topics I do daily and she posted some that I do not but might consider adding. This post is copied and pasted as it was when she posted it.

Your Personal Daily Tarot Card
The Hermit
The Hermit denotes a need to have some space between you and the everyday hustle and bustle of our busy world. The Hermit needs to retreat. Indeed, happiness for The Hermit requires seclusion, freedom from material wants, and time for intense introspection. The answers The Hermit needs cannot be found in our physical world. The truths he seeks are internal, spiritual, and the distraction of a well developed social life can only impede his quest for his personal truths. Still, although not anything remotely resembling extroversion, The Hermit does sometimes need to share time with others; so he can both learn and teach, guide and be guided. The Hermit’s time spent amongst people depletes his energy rapidly. To avoid mental and physical overload he has to retreat from social settings quickly.
Your Personal Daily Love Tarot Card
The Fool
You deserve a partnership that deepens as you get to know each other. Wait for the person who has risen above commitment immaturity if commitment is your desire. The Fool reminds us that dating someone is not a mistake. It is falling in love and marrying them if it is not right. If your long-term relationship is encountering a difficult patch, now is the time to work together to rebuild.
Your Personal Daily Erotic Tarot Card
The Judgement
The Judgement card indicates that you’ve had some sexual hang-ups in the past, but you’re working toward getting over them. This is a period of transition, and although you’re doing the work, you may not be getting the exact results you desire. Forgive yourself for past missteps in order to take a sexual step forward today. Being afraid to express your true erotic self can even effect other areas of your life, so getting beyond your sexual inhibitions translates into a happier overall existence.

May’s Full Flower Moon
May is most notable for being the turning point in the year where temperatures rise and a vast variety of flowers come into full bloom, letting the world break out into a riot of color. As such, May’s full moon has come to be known as the Full Flower Moon. The Anishnaabe tribe also called it the Blossom Moon. In Northern America, you can expect to see flowers such as bluebells, sundrops, violets, and so on, as well as lush greenery to go with the blossoms. The Apache and Lakota peoples named May’s full moon the Green Leaves Moon, while the Mohawk tribe called it the Big Leaf Moon. But there is one specific plant that’s very important during the May season – and it is, in fact, not a flower.
This plant is corn, an important staple food for Northern American peoples. According to the Algonquin tribes, May’s full moon is the Corn Planting Moon. For Native American tribes, this is the perfect time for them to start preparing the fields for farming and sowing the seeds saved up from last year. Appropriately, the Abenaki culture refers to May’s full moon as the Field Maker Moon, while the Haida tribe calls it the Food Gathering Moon. Apart from corn, other foods such as beans, squash, and potatoes are planted during this time. The Cherokee tribe called May’s full moon the Anisguti Moon, or the Planting Moon, and would traditionally perform a Corn Dance during this period to encourage a fruitful corn harvest.
Due to the rising temperatures, the Full Flower Moon is also a time of heightened fertility. This is a good time for women to bear children in a warm, safe environment that would increase the chance of their survival. That’s why May’s full moon is also named Mother’s Moon, or Milk Moon, which could refer to breastfeeding or to the milking of cows. The latter interpretation is based off the Old English name Rimilcemona, or the Month of Three Milkings, referring to how this was a period where cows could be milked up to three times daily.
In other parts of the world, the Full Flower Moon is better known as Vesak or Buddha Day, the most significant celebration for Buddhists all around the world. On the first full moon of May, Buddhists commemorate the birth, enlightenment, and passing of the Buddha. Devout practitioners are encouraged to renew their intention to adhere to sacred Buddhist principles, as well as refrain from all forms of killing and violence, including eating meat. Celebrations include giving charity to the poor, disabled, and otherwise marginalized groups in society. Depending on your location, you may witness the spectacular practice of releasing thousands of caged birds into the air as a symbolic gesture of liberation, though this tradition is illegal in countries such as Singapore because it may cause harm to local ecosystems.
Pagans, on the other hand, associate the Full Flower Moon with the element of fire, and thus often celebrate it by lighting bonfires and engaging in other magical fire rituals to bring prosperity. Powerful colors for the Full Flower Moon include fiery colors like red, yellow, and orange. This is a good time to tend your garden and let the seeds you’ve planted blossom – both literally and metaphorically. Cultivate your passions and desires, encourage them to burst forth into bloom, and you will be rewarded with abundance in various forms in your life.

Gardening Moon Calendar – May 2024
Source: mooncalendar.astro-seek.com
Please read this first:
1) Moon Phase x Moon Zodiac Sign:
Please keep in mind, that Gardening by Moon Phase and Gardening by Moon Zodiac Sign are two different/independent biodynamic systems and they might give you different or contradictiory gardening recommendations.
- a) Each Moon Phase (except Full Moon and New Moon) lasts about 1 week
- b) Each Moon Zodiac Sign lasts about 2.5 days
Try to experiment with these two systems to find which recommendations suits you the most.
2) Tropical (Astrological) x Sidereal (Astronomical) Zodiac:
(1-2 days difference in Leaf, Fruit, Root and Flower days)
There are two different zodiacs for determining the Moon Sign:
- a) Tropical zodiac (Astrological) is based on the seasons – Vernal Equinox is fixed as 0° Aries (The 1st Fruit day)
- b) Sidereal zodiac (Astronomical) takes into account Precession of Equinoxes and shifts 0° Aries back by cca 1-2 days. Maria Thun who was an authority on biodynamics was using this Sidereal zodiac
Try to experiment also with these two zodiac systems to find which system suits you better.

May it bring you everything you want if it is supposed to be and everything you need. May sorrow be unknown, and any negativity be minimal. May the wind always be at your back.
Being a Taurus born on May 1st, you are passionate and committed to your ideas. Although you are generally sensible and polite, you can also become quite temperamental when things don’t go as you’d like them to.
You enjoy making yourself respected and prefer to stay away from any controversy. You are also very loyal to your family. Get ready to better understand your horoscope profile below.
The zodiac sign for May 1 is Taurus.
Astrological symbol: Bull. This relates to simplicity, wealth, strong nature and tension coupled with peace. This is the symbol for people born between April 20 and May 20 when the Sun is considered to be in Taurus.
The Taurus Constellation, one of the 12 constellations of the zodiac is placed between Aries to the West and Gemini to the East and its visible latitudes are +90° to -65°. The brightest star is Aldebaran while the whole formation is spread on 797 sq degrees.
In Italy it is named Toro while the Spanish call it Tauro. However, the Latin origin of the Bull, the May 1 zodiac sign is Taurus.
Opposite sign: Scorpio. This complementary relationship with Taurus across the horoscope chart suggests practicality and mystery and shows how these two signs can help each other in keeping things balanced.
Modality: Fixed. This modality of those born on May 1 shows curiosity and enthusiasm and also offers a sense of their humorous nature.
Ruling house: The second house. This house represents all material and non material possessions an individual gets in a lifetime. This only doubles the influence orienting Taurus towards wealth and life’s pleasure.
Ruling body: Venus. This celestial body is said to influence sympathy and authority. It is also relevant from the sentimentalism perspective. The Venus glyph is composed by the circle of spirit and the cross of matter.
Element: Earth. This is an element for the dignified and polite individuals born under the May 1 zodiac. It allows fire and water to model it while it incorporates air.
Lucky day: Friday. Under the governing of Venus, this day symbolizes allure and sympathy. It is suggestive for the Taurus natives who are friendly .
Lucky numbers: 7, 8, 13, 15, 26.
Motto: “I own!”
People born on May 1 have certain and assiduous temperaments and they often choose to be accommodating and wait for a certain result rather than force things out. They are the ones who know how to appreciate refinement and the mushy value of even material holdings. They dislike getting into any heated controversies but they are rapid to show how bull headed they are when they consider something is relevant enough as to be worth the fight. They can be very polite and accepting but only with those who gain their scrutiny and respect.
Positive Traits: These natives are affectionate and loyal and seem to approach all life matters in a sensible manner. They are highly dependable and always try to respect their promises and finish whatever they said they would, regardless of the hardships they might meet along the way. They are hardworking and loyal and anyone can depend on them as long as there is a relationship of mutual respect instilled in between.
Negative Traits: These natives find it hard to make decisions sometimes and are prone to laziness as they tend to avoid some obstacles and even let them pile up. Of course it is better for them that they deal with them later than never, but they would avoid a lot of effects if they were to pay more scrutiny. They often find escape routes by coming with easy explanation and rapid fixes but they are also spiteful if others critique their results. They need to begin seeing beyond personal gain in order to grow up spiritually.
Love and Compatibility: Lovers born on May 1 are passionate and committed. They are rather affectionate and stable rather than adventurous and they prefer to settle for a serious relationship rather than date many people. They are attracted to creative and fun people whom can keep their interest alive and with whom they can spoil and protect. You can conquer the heart of Taurus if you are all eyes on them but also maintain your individuality and degree of independence. This single native is not making a drama out of his single status but even enjoys time alone and enters a relationship only when is prepared to.
May 1 Zodiac people are most attracted to the other earth signs: Virgo and Capricorn as they tend to share the same vision of life. In love, Taurus is permanently seeking for an unpredictable companion who can keep his interest alive and the best to offer them this is the native born under Scorpio. The lover in Taurus is said to be least compatible with Aries. As for the rest of partnerships between the other star signs and Taurus, you know what they say, stars predispose but people dispose.
Lucky Color: Green is the color for Taurus zodiac.
Soothing green symbolizes growth and renewal. This hue is placed in great harmony with the moments of calm and shyness of Taurus and this is exactly what they need, a relaxing but energizing color. The power color can be used in things around, from clothes, decorations to even the color of your vehicle.
