The midpoint of the solar cycle is called Beltaine and although it is traditionally a lunar festival it is celebrated as May Day! Technically it is the 2nd full moon after the Spring Equinox or the full moon after Easter. Again there is overlap between the exact May Day and the full moon which creates an orb of influence. This time period lasts from the 1st of May to the Summer Solstice and the movement or activity is in the Magickal Planes and from the top layers downward through to the lower ones rupturing each layer as it goes and forcing balanced events and activities into the Akashic Records to unfold as actual events according to their own nature.
The vital life force of spring is being driven deep into the ground. But the Beltaine full moon is the completion of the first stage of compression where the rupturing of the astral fabric only happens within each individual layer. The movement downward from layer to layer is only just beginning and the moon is working against the sun because it is trying to move everything upward as it moves toward the New Moon! So the Solar Cycle and Lunar Cycle are trying to cancel each other out!
The heavy movement where the entire astral planes purge themselves and pour everything possible into the Akashic Records actually begins at the New Moon following the Beltaine Full Moon and lasts for the next two weeks to the 3rd Full Moon which is just before the summer solstice as the most powerful manifesting movement of the entire year! It is incredibly intense! Then things let up a bit as we near the summer solstice because the Lunar Cycle and the Solar Cycle are once more in conflict.
I have experienced these energies in this way for years! To me this is not theory but life! It is these activities that will ensure the nature of the coming harvest in the fall.
As a metaphor our gardens are beginning to blossom and we need to tend to the weeds and nurture the plants as they attain their full growth. At this time of the solar cycle we can see how many plants have survived and have a pretty good idea of what kind of harvest we can expect in the fall. Our projects are in full development and we just need to maintain them.
For me that is keeping up the posts that I have started on this site and Pagan Space as well as maintaining my free online Organic Gnosticism Class. I am also trying to maintain my translation schedule of putting out monthly issues of Der Orchideengarten.
