May Day! May Day! May 1 is my favorite day of the year. It is when we celebrate workers rights, and it is the festival of Beltane, when nature’s transformational powers are released. Since we’re knee-deep in the practical magic of Taurus season, it makes sense to celebrate both.
As the wonderful astrologer Virginia Bell says, this is the day to renew our commitment to the earth and to the deepest part of ourselves. So make sure to duck outside today and offer the heavens gratitude, maybe a few wishes too. It’s a “help thanks wow” moment for sure.
Awash in Mother Mary blue and sea green, lilac and peony pink, juicy holiness can be found at every corner. I have placed flowers all over my apartment, dressed as a landlocked mermaid (Yemaya at your service) and will repair to the botanical gardens when my writing’s done. Shadows always lurk but it’s important to celebrate this big butterfly light–in ocean, wind, sun, soil, you.

Even if you don’t believe in astrology, the full moon in Scorpio believes in you. Rosy and powerful, she’s brimming with divine feminine mischief and will spill any secret that’s been held too long. So lean into it already. Fill a tub with rose oil and salt, light a candle, howl at the wind, hand-letter a valentine, if only to your best self. If you focus on letting love reign tonight, it surely will for days and even months to come. If you try to maintain business as usual, you’re in for a night of Shakespearean-level drama. My advice? Unbutton it all, my pretties.
Friday rolls around, and I doff my writer’s cap and put a Ruby Intuition hat on for the weekend. I’m always restored by clients’ energy, by channeling and charting a path with their best selves, but the calm beauty of this season helps sessions flow especially well. Ruled by Venus, Taurus is all about deep roots and reaching toward the sun—shit as fertilizer, practical magic as a bloom. Come find yours.
