Last Quarter Moon in Aquarius🌗♒️: Authoritative and Managing Energy

The Last Quarter Moon in Aquarius🌗♒️, occurring at 7:37 AM ET on May 1st, heralds a period of reflection, release, and preparation. Aquarius, the sign of innovation, independence, and humanitarianism, invites us to think outside the box and embrace unconventional approaches to problem-solving.

The quirky maverick of the zodiac, Aquarius rules the galactic circulation of intellectual inspiration. He embodies the archetype of a carefree, energetic person who loves to dance and move about with abandon. Conversely, Taurus envelops us in a cocoon of security and serenity. Anyone is invited to see her house, garden, and little plot of land. The arrival of the eccentric one-man traveling circus known as Aquarius completely disrupts this grounded concept of safety and security.

Taurus wants us to stay firmly planted on the ground, and Aquarius wants us to think and act freely. In the face of complete uncertainty, how do you respond? Embracing change is essential during this Last Quarter Moon in Aquarius.

One great thing about Aquarius is his amiability, generosity, and beautiful nature. Sometimes he surprises people in a good way. However, he is also capable of being extremely unpredictable, violent, and sharp.

For the soul and psyche, this moon phase is a trying time. The effect of an Aquarian is peculiar, exciting, and demanding all at once. Potential outcomes include disarray, letdown, or dispute. But Aquarius is also a potent booster for our imaginations. Now is the time to let the world see your artistic creations. Doubt leaves as soon as confidence enters.

This year, Mercury in Aries forms a flexible and pleasant sextile to this moon. In terms of social and communicative matters, this is ideal. So think about what it is that you are preparing to complete and turn away from in the spirit of a New Moon on the way. Also take note of these dates below that are part of this Aquarius Moon 2-year Lunar Cycle to get a better idea of what life and business events connect with this event.

The Energy of Beltane 🔥: Releasing and Renewing for Business Success

Beltane, celebrated on May 1st, marks the halfway point between the spring equinox and the summer solstice. This cross-quarter sabbat is a time of fertility, abundance, and celebration, where we honor the union of the divine masculine and feminine energies and the blossoming of new life.

For female business owners and leaders, Beltane offers an opportunity to release old patterns, habits, or energies that no longer serve their business goals and intentions, and to prepare the fertile ground for new growth and expansion. Here are some ways to harness the energy of Beltane in your business:

1. Performing Rituals of Release 🔥 : Take time to reflect on what you're ready to let go of in your business – whether it's self-doubt, fear of failure, or outdated strategies – and create a ritual to symbolically release these energies. This could involve writing them down on a piece of paper and burning them in a fire, burying them in the earth, or simply speaking them aloud and setting the intention to release them.

2. Setting Intentions for Growth 🌱 : Beltane is a powerful time for setting intentions and planting seeds for future abundance. Take a moment to visualize what you want to manifest in your business and write down your intentions in a journal or on a piece of paper. Place them on your altar or in a sacred space and infuse them with your heartfelt desires and intentions.

3. Connecting with Nature 🌳 : Beltane is a celebration of the Earth's fertility and abundance. Spend time outdoors connecting with the natural world, whether it's tending to your garden, taking a walk in the woods, or simply sitting outside and soaking up the sun's warmth. Allow yourself to be nourished and inspired by the beauty and abundance of the natural world.

4. Celebrating Your Successes 🎉 : Take time to acknowledge and celebrate your achievements and successes in your business. Whether it's reaching a milestone, completing a project, or overcoming a challenge, honor your hard work and dedication and allow yourself to bask in the joy and satisfaction of your accomplishments.
