Tuning In
I like to use the full and new moons as gentle reminders to pause and check in with myself. I’m often going, going, going — so I love knowing that at least twice a month I’ll take the time to slow down and reflect with a longer tea session.
You definitely don’t have to choose the moon phases, but for me they help me feel more connected to nature’s cycles and more present in my day-to-day life. I also enjoy exploring the themes associated with each moon in astrology. Even if astrology isn’t really your thing, the symbolism still offers beautiful messages, prompts for reflection, and ideas you can use to create a themed ritual.
Full Moon (time of culmination, release & emotional climax):
May 1, 2026
Scorpio
The Full Moon in Scorpio Full Moon invites us to soften our grip and trust the process of transformation. Emotions may rise to the surface, illuminating what is ready to be released, healed, or reclaimed. This moon carries the energy of depth, intuition, and quiet rebirth—a reminder that growth often begins in the unseen places within us.
New Moon (new beginnings, setting an intention):
Saturday May 16, 2026
TAURUS
Take a nice long patient moment and think about what makes you feel rooted and steady.
Plant:
Red Dead Nettle
Red dead nettle carries such Taurus energy in the way it roots close to the earth, nourishes pollinators, and thrives humbly and abundantly. But there’s Gemini energy too—the playful scattering of it, popping up unexpectedly, weaving itself everywhere, impossible to fully contain.
Stone:
Emerald
Mantra
I am stubborn enough to go on.
