MAY ASTROLOGY
GETTING REAL & EXPANSION
With eclipse season and Mercury retrograde over, May brings a much-needed grounding energy. Nature will be the star of the show, and our senses won’t be able to resist the call to the wilds. We may be actioning early camping plans, oiling up our bicycles, and chatting about exciting travel plans or a new course of learning.
SUN
The Sun has been basking in TAURUS since April 19, and we continue to enjoy redirecting our focus to more grounded pursuits, whilst continuing to blend more of our happy selves and passions into our everyday lives. How to materialise more stability into our lives may be at the forefront of where we direct our focus. Getting real, and honest with ourselves.
20th May: Sun Enters Gemini
A more active mindset kicks off with Gemini season, you may be flapping your wings and tapping into your phone book as a desire to socialise may be on the up! As the bluebells erupt all over the wild woods, our throat chakra’s will feel stimulated as we feel the need to connect and express ourselves with others. May will certainly be a busy and buzzy one, with inquisitive minds beginning to whir!
MOON
7th May: Taurus New Moon
New moons are a great time to reset and look at your life and goals.
With the TAURUS New Moon, our focus tends to lean towards our income, livelihood, and home comforts. It’s an ace time to begin new projects and green light opportunities that will better your sense of stability and security in your life.
Tarot for the New Moon : Queen of Pentacles
This beautiful queen is all about balance. She nails the work/life balance. She doesn’t sweat the small stuff, and steps out of any arena that thrives on drama. The environment she lives in is very important to her, as she knows that her lifestyle impacts her chance of success. She’s a nature lover, and focus’s her attention on what she needs to grow her dreams.
NEW MOON IDEAS AT HOME:
•This moon is a feeling one
•Let your intuition guide you and ask yourself how you can feel more secure in your life, whilst being true to what you love.
•Confidence is the key! Believe it’s possible and get excited, let go of old worries and commit to exercising out any outdated anxiety.
•This is a time to leave the familiar and rootle out things that makes us feel alive, whilst earning a few more pennies! (wink wink)
•Enjoy the abundance on your front door step! The more we feel abundant, the more abundance we attract! Find time to watch the sun set, see the moon rise, and lie beneath the stars.
23rd May: Sagittarius Full Moon: The Flower Moon
Full moons allow us to release the old and make way for the new. This is a time of healing and reflection, to connect with our emotions.
With the Sagittarius Full Moon, you may be drawn to the big questions in life. Zoom out for a moment and sip on a cuppa as you open your mind to the broader picture. This moon is about expansion, and nature! Thanks to the abundant blooming that’s popping all around us, we are drawn out of our houses and reminded that we breathe and thrive on a living planet. With this fiery moon we too feel the need to expand and bloom in our own lives. How can you explore you’re bigger dreams?
Tarot for the Full Moon : 10 of Swords
Oof, I’ve picked a challenging card here but actually as it’s a 10, it implies there’s opportunity to move through a tough cycle of feeling depleted. This is a card of mental burnout. There is a feeling of acceptance here when it comes to situations that have circled round and round in our heads that we just can’t simply find peace with. Make the most of this full moon, and choose to finally move on and let go of situations that are out of your control. Instead focus your energy on what you can control, that’s your own behaviour.
FULL MOON IDEAS AT HOME:
•A leap of faith just may be possible with this optimistic blooming marvellous full moon.
•Cutting the cords to anything in our lives that restricts our need for expansion. •Asking ourselves what journey, adventure or project we’d like to experience and saying YES to it.
•Keep your mood light by resisting the need to focus on the minor details!
•Embody a sense of adventure and expand the boundaries of your life to achieve your goals.
Another little date for the diary!
May 25th: Jupiter moves into Gemini
Jupiter, the planet of expansion, moves into the sign of Gemini which could be our invitation to really turn up the power, and expand the horizons of our mind. Try new things and explore new perspectives. This is a ‘CAN DO’ energy and let’s just say we may be feeling like anything is possible towards the end May.
