Did you ever wonder where the Full Moon names came from that we use in the United States? They came from the Native American tribes that lived here long before the Europeans arrived. They named the Full Moons according to the unique characteristics of the month, which helped them to track the passing seasons. There was some variation between tribes in the names given. May, for instance, is known as the Flower Full Moon because of the abundance of flowers that were blooming everywhere. Another name was the Full Corn Planting Moon, as the frosts were over and it was time to plant their corn. When the European settlers arrived, they kept this Native American custom and of course added some names of their own. For instance, the English called the May Moon the Milk Moon.
Beauty is the Astrological Theme
As the astrological theme for the year 2010 through 2011, which began with the Vernal Equinox announcing spring, is beauty, the Flower Full Moon name seems most appropriate. All you have to do is feast your eyes on all the gorgeous flowers in full bloom throughout the United States to fully grasp the unfolding task ahead of us for the year in everything we do.
New Moon on May 13, 2010
The Moon Goddess's Flower Full Moon has its beginning at the New Moon May 13, 2010 6:05 pm PDT. We will not see the Moon at this time, as she is in the shadows, between Mother Earth and the Sun. It is at this exact time that the Sun is fully illuminating the Moon Goddess back side with his sun rays. If you are sensitive, you could very well feel a pull on your emotional nature. Keep a look out for the Moon Goddess's crescent moon which will be appearing in the next two or three days, truly always a beauty to behold.
