Welcome, May 2023!
This month, you may feel and experience the energies of adventure, change, courage, freedom, health and healing, and life lessons learned, with a mix of release and surrender. We will be asked by the Universe to make positive life choices and decisions this month. If we can stay true to our inner truths, we can make leaps and bounds along our journey without overriding the language of our heart center.
We will have the opportunity to strengthen our Throat Centers (Chakra), as we are beginning to activate deeper parts of ourselves and awaken those true pieces of our soul from their long winter’s nap. Your journey will be dependent on a couple of things: how your relationship to change is, and your ability to trust not only in the Divine but also in yourself. This is a collaborative team assignment!
Many moons ago, when I was under the age of ten, I was traveling with a childhood friend and her family out of state, over winter break. My friend and I decided to go sledding, near where we were staying. On the way back, both of us forgot the directions back. She was convinced that the way back was right, and I was convinced that the way back was left. After an hour of discussion, determined in my convictions that I knew better how to get back to a place I was unfamiliar with, we both decided that we would each go in the direction we felt was best. After walking, for what felt like forever, but was probably only thirty minutes, my childhood friend and her mom pulled up in a car. Obviously, my friend had found the way to where we were staying first.
My reason for sharing this with you is sometimes in life we make choices and decisions, and we have no idea how it is going to play out in reality. But, if every part of you is feeling that you need to go left, when everyone else tells you to go right, it’s up to you to try to follow your heart. Do what feels best for you, and try to be present in the experience. And know that even if you perhaps venture down a path that isn’t right for you, then Spirit will be there in an energetic car, to pick you up and give you a ride back on the right path. But it all starts with trust, and a knowingness that you will always end up right where you are supposed to be at that time.
This month’s playlist will reconnect you to your dreams and true desires of your soul, and awaken insights to your next steps. 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.

This month, the planet of transformation, and are old friend Pluto will go retrograde on May 1st, and we will be once again reviewing what we learned, while it was in Capricorn. Over the next six months, Pluto will venture back to 28 degrees Capricorn before going direct in October. On May 16th, Jupiter will move into the sign of Taurus, and bringing with it gifts and good luck for the next year. Finally, we will want to pull out those Superhero caps on the 21st when the Sun enters Gemini. This transition may find us stepping into our Superman or Superwoman vibes. Be mindful not to spread your energy to thin.
Here are some other essential things to be on the lookout for this month:
May 5th – Full Moon & Lunar Eclipse in Scorpio
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 eclipse, we may want to clear our calendars and stay with the routine for the day. As this Lunar Eclipse has the capacity to collapse all that is fragile and has no long term value to our purpose. During this type of eclipse the Moon will darken slightly but not completely. The eclipse will be visible throughout all of Asia and Australia and parts of eastern Europe and eastern Africa.
May 5th/ 6th – Eta Aquarids Meteor Shower
The Eta Aquarids is an above average shower, capable of producing up to 60 meteors per hour at its peak. 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 5th and the morning of the May 6th. The nearly full moon will be a problem this year, blocking out all but the brightest meteors. If you are patient, you should still should be able to catch a few good ones. Best viewing will be from a dark location after midnight.
May 19th – New Moon in Taurus
The Universe is lining up an amazing New Moon, with five celestial bodies aligned in Taurus, New Moon, Sun, Uranus, Mercury, and Jupiter. This is a great time to review finances, and reconnect your energy to your aspirations. 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.
“Happiness is a butterfly, which when pursued, is always just beyond your grasp, but which, if you will sit down quietly, may alight upon you.” – Nathaniel Hawthorne
