The May Full Moon, also known as the Flower Moon, will light up the sky on Thursday (May 23), presenting a spectacular sight.
This name comes from the abundance of blooming flowers in May. In many cultures it signifies growth and renewal. The Full Moon will light up the sky, bringing a surge of rejuvenating and healing energy that revitalizes our emotions, giving us strength and endurance.
Flower Moon is the most popular name for the full moon in May. The thing is that at this time in the Northern Hemisphere the earth is finally warming up after a long winter, and the flowering season begins. If you pay attention to the names of all the full moons in the year, you will notice that they are associated with natural phenomena characteristic of a particular month.
The May full moon will be in the sign of Sagittarius and will begin May 23 at 16:53. The Earth's satellite will look larger and take on an unusual golden hue. Observers will be able to see the Moon in the company of the bright star Antares, which is the brightest luminary in the constellation Scorpius. Under favorable weather conditions, Antares can be seen even from the city surroundings.
The next full strawberry moon falls on Friday, June 21st. This will be the first summer full moon in the northern hemisphere and the first winter full moon in the southern hemisphere, and will occur just one day after the 2024 summer solstice.
