This month of May the full moon will occur on the 12th and is called the "flower moon". Other names associated with May full moon are Mother Mmoon, Milk Moon, Bright Moon, Planting Moon, Leaf Budding Moon, Grass Moon, Hare Moon and Corn planting Moon. The most well known name for May's full moon is Flower Moon. Associated with the appearance and abundance of flowers in full bloom, colours, aromas and also the return of plants. Leaves become fuller, making woodlands denser and lush, while the grass is brighter in colour and grow quickly to produce seeds and oxygen.
May is also the season of pollen. This is a powdery natural stuff that comes from trees, flowers and grass. Pollen is airborne and floats around invisible at times but it can cause allergies. This includes symptoms of sneezing, hay fever and watery eyes. Weather warnings put out pollen alerts so that people can take precautions.
This year's flower moon will also be a "micromoon" or "mini moon". A micromoon is when the full moon is furthest away from Earth. Look at this page on Time and Date website to read more about micromoons.
In legends and folklore, the Flower Moon is a good time for werewolves. The Flower Moon of May is linked to new life, plant growth and with days getting increasingly warmer, it's when many animals come out of their dens and hiding places to enjoy the season. This is ripe for hunting, and werewolves become more eager to look for prey! Be safe!
