Flower Moon tonight, Bealtaine observances underway

natureMay 2, 20261061,984

The Flower Moon, the Bealtaine full moon, rises tonight as a full moon in Scorpio, marking the lunar peak for early May. Beltane observances are under way with bonfires, moon-focused rituals, moonlight photography and music, and some participants exchanging symbolic gifts like pearl anklets tied to lore that calls pearls the 'daughters of the moon.' Tarot readers emphasize Scorpio's intensity for this lunation, framing tonight as a moment for emotional release and creative ignition that many photographers, musicians and writers are using as inspiration.

Freedom that is not loud or defiant; it is something warmer, far more spacious— where the heart acts as a kind of solvent. Underneath, beauty lies here… landing never absent, only obscured by the rotation of cycles… Immortal to eyes where everything dies.. in you I am the becoming. #FullMoon🌕

WOOO what a rough edit. I got a solid half hour of moonrising time lapses, and I'm really struggling to stitch them together, but I couldn't be happier with the first 5 minutes, check it out! Solid International Workers Day, everyone. Let's keep up the momentum! #MayDay #FullMoon

Folks tried to bring the No Kings coalition to Labor Day, and honestly, I think it flopped. Although May Day didn't involve as much direct action as we'd all like to see, I think everyone showed up more authentically and less weirdly. What happens next is up to us. 💜

Full moon rising over Saco Bay. 30 seconds of respite from the craziness and violence.

Happy Beltane! 🌼🌞🌼 It's May Day and today we welcome the summer, celebrate fertility and the renewal of life with new growth. It's also the best day to see the Flower Moon, shining bright in the night sky tonight. 🌝 Credit: AP Photo/Michael Probst #beltane #fullmoon #mayday

I've just seen it, walking back from my friend's house at, luckily, exactly the right time. Huge and deep yellow. A minute later a finger of cloud passed over it and then it began to be obscured.

I appreciate everyone on this side of the pond will be in bed now but for the record, here's tonight's Full Flower Moon just now. It's also 'Micro Moon' being as far away from us as it gets! Goodnight all #astronomy #astrophotography @stormhour.com @photohour.bsky.social

We're getting TWO full moons in May! 🌕🌕 It's a rare event that happens only every few years. The first, the Flower Moon, happens on Friday, and the second, known as the Blue Moon, happens on May 31

Full flower moon in the depth of the night. Magnificent and shining so bright. The rhythm of spring dances under the sky, unveiling the May moon’s truest magic we can’t deny. #poetry #fullmoon #flowermoon #sunset

The full moon setting behind Christ Church Cathedral. May 2, 2026 – 5:22am to 5:52am Fredericton NB #moon #fullmoon #flowermoon

A sequence depicting the full moon descending toward the horizon behind the spire of a cathedral at a river’s edge. The sky and water are a dull blue and the moon transitions from yellow to orange to pink as it sets. The moon’s reflection can be seen in the water.

THE FLOWER MOON will bring increased activity from #werewolves. Compelled to leave their hunting grounds in the woods, they will make their way to open fields at this time to prowl & howl at the moon. They may be found crossing roads & gardens! #FolkloreSunday
