Also nicknamed the Flower Moon, the spiritual meaning of May's lunar climax reminds that going from seed to bloom requires a full transformation, and that kind of rebirth isn't always easy.

In Tarot, the moon represents illusions & intuition. It comes up when someone is lying to you, when you are lying to yourself, or when you suspect that there is more than meets the eye. This powerful card can also come up when your are refusing to hear what your intuition is telling you. The color Red is one of the most vibrant, powerful colors in the spectrum. It represents stubbornness, confidence, courage, passion, aggression, honesty and standing out in the spotlight. So if we were put this all together, what does it mean? Put bluntly, it means that the human consciousness has some issues right now. You’ve been feeling a deep passion in your heart and soul. A yearning for a dream not yet realized. You know, very well, what it is that your soul is longing for, yet you feel you must keep your feet on the ground and stay grounded.You feel as if you have been lied too, by yourself and by mankind. Sure, no one ever said life was going to be easy, but does it really have to be this hard? Right now, we are experiencing yet another shift in consciousness, and this happens at least once in every generation. And with each shift, each awakening leads us further down the path of truth. You will no longer feel the need to lie to ensure your survival. You will not have to hide who you are to gain acceptance. These changes will not happen overnight, but they will happen slowly. This podcast will assist in your travels on that path of justified lies & hidden truths.
