Welcome, May! This month you may feel and experience the energies of change, courage, healing, health, motivation, personal freedom, progress, and vitality. Be aware this month, if you notice any fear of change creeping in. While change is always constant, use this month as the opportunity to learn the true meaning of change in your life and try to have fun and laugh while making the changes in your life. Know that ultimately things always change in your divine favor.
More than ever I am getting a sense from Spirit that it is incredibly important that we not only stay true to who we are but stand strong in the knowingness that we are so worthy of experiencing awesome, fantastic things and people in this world. I remember ( I can’t believe I am about to say this), but twenty years (at 19 years old), when I was in a University. I was going to Dunkin Donuts right before my first Intro to Sociology class and I held to door open for a gentleman walking out. We smiled at each other and he said thank you. Not thinking twice about it, I walked into my first Intro to Sociology class with my coffee and the Universe had a Karmic surprise for me. My teacher of that class turned out to be the gentleman I held the door open for as he was leaving Dunkin Donuts. I remember thinking to myself ” WOW, I am so glad I held the door for him.” I went on to take enough Sociology classes to have a minor in it at University and he was one of my favorite teachers, and have a lot of memories with him. Try to be open this month to experience at least one day where you are making a first impression on someone new, and see what the Universe has as it unfolds for you. Because sometimes you just never know what pleasant surprises are coming your way.
This month’s playlist will help to heal previously unseen parts of yourself, while giving yourself permission to feel safe and adventurous all at the same time. I also added some energy healing and support to the monthly playlist to assist you.

We have officially entered Retrograde Season! Pluto went into Retrograde on April 29th in the sign of Capricorn and will stay in Retrograde for roughly the next six months. This month, Mercury also joins the Retrograde party. Spirit says that this is a powerful month. Try to remain present and in the moment as often as possible
Here are some other essential things to be on the lookout for this month:
May 6th – 7th – Eta Aquarids Meteor Showers: 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 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 waxing crescent moon will set early in the evening, leaving dark skies for what should be an excellent show. The best viewing will be from a dark location after midnight. Meteors will radiate from the constellation Aquarius but can appear anywhere in the sky.
May 10th- Mercury Retrograde in Gemini / Taurus: The Pre-Shadow phase began on April 26th. Mercury goes Retrograde on May 10th and will go Direct on June 3rd. Be advised that the Post Shadow of Mercury Retrograde may still be felt until June 18th.

May 16th – Full Moon & Total Lunar Eclipse in Scorpio: Happening in the very early hours of the day, the Full Moon will be fully illuminated as it prepares for the lunar eclipse. 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. Also on this day, will we have the chance to see the Total Lunar Eclipse. A Total Lunar Eclipse occurs when the Moon passes completely through the Earth’s dark shadow or umbra. During this type of eclipse, the Moon will gradually get darker and then take on a rusty or blood-red color. The eclipse will be visible throughout all of North America, Greenland, the Atlantic Ocean, and parts of western Europe and western Africa. This Full Moon and Total Lunar Eclipse is going to provide growth and may even stir up some overwhelming feelings of obligations. Scorpio likes to get deep with things, so allow yourself permission to feel your feelings, while allowing yourself to release them.
May 30th – New Moon in Gemini: 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 will bring in jovial vibes for many people. This is also the most perfect time to shift from your heads to your hearts and continue to nurture your inner garden, and don’t be afraid to plant new seeds in your life and then watch them grow.
“There is a part of blooming which I did not understand, you see. You can be a flower all your life but still not understand it. Blooming is one thing; but blooming where you are planted is another. It’s so easy to say, “I will bloom when I am there”, but you need to be saying, “I will bloom right here, where I was planted.” Because until I bloom “right here”, I’m never going to actually bloom; because we cannot do it in concept, you see, we must bloom now. We must bloom here. The flower must trust.” – C. JoyBell C.
Most of us are familiar with the saying the only thing we have control over, is how we react to something. Spirit would also like to include that you have control over your own accountability. You have control over what and whom you choose to surround yourself with and consume in your own energy. This month if you realize you what to make positive changes in your life do so. Be the change you wish to seek.
Stay Inspired,
Stacey
