JACKSON, Wyo. — On Thursday, May 23, the full “Flower Moon” will rise in the sign Sagittarius, bringing a period of abundance in both a material and emotional sense.

Stemming from a new moon in Taurus that grounded all intentions, projects and energies at the beginning of the month, the full moon will now blossom from that settled foundation to bring joy, enlightenment and inspiration to the peak of spring. Read on to learn what local wildflower will sit at the heart of your energy this month:

Aquarius: Biscuitroot

This month, these air signs need to share themselves more in relationships. You have the power to be a source of sustenance and healing for others, without compromising your own ability to grow. Use this, and extend your roots by showing up for family and chosen family when they need it.

It’s a critical time for these water signs to remember that personal and professional growth doesn’t mean you can’t say no. You’re allowed to set boundaries and prevent certain things from taking advantage of you. Cultivate your beauty by understanding how to navigate toxicity around you.

Aries: Arrowleaf balsamroot

It’s time for these fire signs to open themselves up to serendipity and whimsy. Trust that in the face of change, you are resilient enough to persevere.

This is a transformative time for these earth signs. You’ve created a solid foundation, and you now have to reevaluate what you need to thrive. Don’t mistake feeling comfortable or stable for achieving success – trust that your roots will hold you and you can continue to grow, rise higher and become brighter.

Gemini: Clematis

These air signs are a magnet for everyone, but not everyone is able to pollinate your energy. You need partnerships for your evolution, so identify the relationships that work naturally and stop trying to force the ones that don’t. Abundance will come from deepening your personal growth by depending on the people who reciprocate you.

With heightened emotions during the full moon, it may feel like all or nothing for these water signs. You might feel like you’re not able to bloom for very long, but trust that your successes and peaks will continue to come back around. Let yourself enjoy your highs without the anxiety of it disappearing. Nothing will take away from how beautiful you are.

Leo: Larkspur

It’s time for these fire signs to come into their wild side. Be your social, colorful self, but don’t forget the fragility of your energy too. Make sure you’re getting all the nutrients you need and prioritizing self-care even in the face of a whirlwind month. Balance your vibrancy with stillness and allow yourself to sustain these periods of growth.

This month is all about staying rooted and grounded for these earth signs. While the thrill of summer may inspire adventures, stay closer to home and explore your therapeutic values. Taking time to allow your trajectory to unfold naturally is an important part of your ability to adapt to different conditions.

Libra: Phlox

There’s no time like the present for these air signs to open up. Don’t be afraid to speak your mind; while words may seem small, they can be mighty and reach far beyond what you imagine. Boost your presence and come into your own by saying how you feel and identifying your reactions and thoughts verbally to those around you.

How do these water signs break out of toxic thought patterns and deeply held emotions? It’s a time for introspection, to look back at the past versions of yourself and explore the mythologies you created around them that inform your mindset today. Separate the false narratives from what resonates, and use your history to put the best version of yourself in bloom.

Sagittarius: Columbine

This is really the time for these fire signs to blossom, as the full moon occurs in this sign. Embrace the complexity of your being. It’s time to fall back in love with yourself and your rarity, and don’t let any external conditions or chaos take away from your appreciation of how you’re growing.

Maybe it’s time for these earth signs to try letting stoicism take a back seat this month. Allow yourself to be conspicuous and let people see your different shades of emotion. The more you’re open about experiencing, the more you open yourself to new experiences and growth. Don’t be afraid to transform your image and show your true colors.
