The New Moon in Aries (fire sign) will occur on April 29 -- this lunar phase signifies a fresh start and is considered a potent time for initiating new ventures and setting intentions. The Flower Full Moon in Scorpio (water sign) reaching peak illumination on May 12 will create the need to delve into our feelings as deeply as possible. Our desire for meaningful emotional exchanges are heightened now more than at any other time. This full moon is about embracing change, shedding old patterns, and celebrating personal growth. The Celtic Tree month of Hawthorn linked to the Ogham letter (Old Irish): Huathe (H), also known as "white thorn", is associated with purification, sacred marriage, fertility, masculine energy, and fire, and begins on May 13. The New Moon in Gemini (air sign) on May 26 marks the beginning of a new cycle, a time to set fresh intentions for love, career, and growth; a time of renewal. The moon symbolizes our emotions, instincts, and patterns. Memorial Day on May 26 is a day to honor all United States troops who have died serving their country; a holiday that emerged after the Civil War as a way to honor fallen soldiers by decorating graves, and marks the official start of the warm summer season.
Rhonda's femmage She will be on display in Pain Points: Bearing Witness in the Present Tense -- hosted by the Women's Caucus for Art via Kunstmatrix Gallery, Berlin, Germany, with an online opening on April 18. Our experiences, our pain points, are real and deserve recognition as we grapple with unprecedented challenges in a world that is on fire. The national juried exhibition with more than 120 artworks will run through June 15.
