Welcome, May 2024!
This month, we may feel and experience the energies of adventure, changes, curiosity, life lessons, magnetism, and vitality. Be mindful if fear around your personal power or even the urge to be inconsistent or unreliable in some possible actions arises. Now, more than ever before, we will feel an inner call to explore ourselves, others, and things around us. This may be as simple as trying new food, a fresh style, or even going to an adventure park. This month holds the energy of a “perfect day.” Let me explain further.
In 2020, while driving between New Hampshire and Connecticut, which I have done hundreds of times, I was guided to take a different way home and go through Vermont. I hadn’t been in Vermont for at least thirty years. I am not going to lie, I was hesitant. Part of me just wanted to go home, and I wasn’t sure I wanted to stray from the standard path.
Following my instinct, I took the turn for Vermont, and because I was having so much fun, this slight detour ended up being an extended 8-hour trip. I remember driving through the Green Mountain National Forest when one of my favorite jams came on the radio. With no clouds in the sky and the sun shining, I put the windows down, opened the sunroof, and yelled out the window, “BEST DAY EVER!” (see picture in the second section below of this adventure.) This month is about the frequency of your own experience. You too may be faced with going the same familiar safe route, or you may just choose to be curious and go the more adventurous route, like wearing tie-dye instead of black. My point is, if adventure calls this month, make sure you answer and take a chance on how that journey can change you for the better. The universe really wants us to take charge of the changes that occur and know that we play a part in those changes, and they can be influenced by the decisions we make daily.
This month’s playlist will speak directly to your soul. Like a best friend calling your name and asking you if you are ready. Your response will be entirely up to you. Listening to this playlist will help you energetically process the frequencies of the month in a fun way, as I have added some energy healing and support directly into the music.
Just as one planetary retrograde ends, Pluto, the planet of resurrection and change (life, death, and rebirth),goes retrograde in Aquarius on May 2nd. Pluto’s association with the underworld means you will be taken on a different journey than perhaps you initially anticipated. Its purpose during retrograde is to have one examine toxic beliefs, patterns, and deep-rooted wounds of all kinds.
Will you be willing to once more rise like the phoenix and grow? Or are you going to stay burning in the same old fire? Pluto can help you heal and step into your true empowerment.
Here are some other essential things to look out for this month:
May6th /7th – Eta Aquarids Meteor Shower
The Eta Aquarids is an above-average shower capable of producing up to 60 meteors per hour at its peak. Most of the activity is seen in the Southern Hemisphere. In the Northern Hemisphere, the rate can reach about 30 meteors per hour. It is produced by dust particles left behind by comet Halley, which has been observed in the night sky since ancient times. The shower runs annually from April 19th to May 28th. It peaks this year on the night of May 6th and the morning of May 7th. The nearly new moon means dark skies for what should be an excellent show this year. Best viewing will be from a dark location after midnight.
May7th/8th – New Moon in Taurus
The Moon will be located on the same side of the Earth as the Sun and will not be visible in the night sky. This is the best time of the month to observe faint objects such as galaxies and star clusters because there is no moonlight to interfere. This New Moon offers fun and sweet aspects to Jupiter, Neptune, Saturn, Uranus, and Venus, creating just the right spice you need to create something new and special in your life. Make this day count!
May23rd – Full Moon in Sagittarius
The Moon will be located on the opposite side of the Earth as the Sun and its face will be fully illuminated. This full moon was known by early Native American tribes as the Flower Moon because this was the time of year when spring flowers appeared in abundance. This moon has also been known as the Corn Planting Moon and the Milk Moon. This Full Moon is made with Love this year, as Venus plays a major role, and it will be a great day to break out the glamour you may have been saving for the right occasion. A day of good fortune is the perfect time to have your hidden sparkles on standby and ready to go!
“And the purpose of life, after all, is to live it, to taste experience to the utmost, to reach out eagerly and without fear for newer and richer experiences.” – Eleanor Roosevelt
