The New Moon in Taurus (earth sign) arrives on May 7 when we're finally getting a chance to manifest a fresh start.  The Celtic Tree Month of Hawthorn--or huath as it was called in old Irish--begins on May 13 and is a time for fertility, purification, sacred marriage and the rising of the light (igniting your inner fire in search of something new) which is suggestive of sacred unity.  The Full Flower Moon in Sagittarius (fire sign) on May 23 will illuminate the sky heralding the peak of spring and the season of rebirth, renewal, and will spark self-expression.  Rhonda's work will be opening in Thunderdomesticity:  The F-Word on Friday, May 31, at No. 7 Center Gallery, Vermillion, SD.
