As I work with the energy of May, I’m reminded that nurturing comes in many forms — from the mothers and figures who guided us, to the quiet, steadfast support of Mother Earth. True nurturing teaches us how to give, how to receive, and how to grow into who we’re meant to be, and that includes nurturing ourselves with the same care we often give to others.
Capricorn Dec 22 -Jan 19
Dear Capricorn, I feel it will be a mystical month of reflection for you. You are being encouraged to pause, and look how far you have come personally. You certainly have experienced your fair share of ups and downs, so make May a time to smell the roses, and be in awe!
Aquarius Jan 20 – Feb 18
Change is in the air Aquarius. I feel you have been quite the survivor in the past, but your previous struggles look to be behind you. Change, at times can be scary, but you have the tools to roll with it. Let your defence shields down, and embrace what May brings!
Pisces Feb 19 – Mar 20
Ooh Pisces, I feel Goddess energy around you this month. To me the Goddess is empowered, she connects with the positive, and leaves negativity behind. She also calls on her intuition for guidance. For you, I advise checking in with your intuition because it will lead you confidently where you need to go!
Aries Mar 21 – April 19
You are the co creator of your life Aries. Your thoughts, actions, and words shape what lies ahead for you. In other words, keep a check on this month. You are also encouraged to trust what lies ahead for you, there are some things we can’t control. So as the song says – Let it be. Also a male figure is highlighted this month.
Taurus April 20 – May 20
Taurus, I strongly advise you to connect with that fire within you. This means, whatever your passion is, or dream project you have been desiring to do, this month may provide the green light for you to achieve this. Often we get so caught up in life, that we suppress our desires. It is time to break free!
Gemini May 21 – June 20
May, may provide a whole new reality for you, Gemini, but you do have to change the way you think. In life, through conditioning, we only know what we know, so the energies this month may challenge your thinking. Opportunities are moving in your direction, but will only open up for you when you look at a different perspective.
Cancer June 21- July 22
I am feeling an old habit or pattern will be challenged this month. You are being encouraged to love and respect yourself enough to take the steps you need to get to where you want to. This may take some courage, but you know what, you already know what I’m talking about, you already know what you need to do. Trust that!
Leo July 23 – Aug 22
Wow Leo! This month you are encouraged to show your true wild side. This does not mean to go crazy! It means you will have the opportunity to release your suppression, and this is great news! With release, you can finally become yourself! Lunar energies may also affect you this month.
Virgo Aug 23 – Sept 22
Be open and receptive to new information this month Virgo. If you have been feeling stuck in life direction, or some other way, just know the universe is conspiring to give you all the information you need to move forward. Please be open to universal hints, through different signs or even your own intuition. Trust what you receive!
Libra Sept – 23 – Oct 23
This month, Libra you are entering an exciting period of transformation! Recent challenges are now in your rear view mirror. This time offers you the opportunity to recognise your talents and sharpen up your skills. You are very good at fitting in anywhere. A spirit animal may also guide you on the right track. Look out for that.
Scorpio Oct 24 – Nov 21
I am wondering Scorpio if you tend to be like a bull in a china shop, or if you respond to things reactively? May is a fantastic time to communicate in a gentler manner, and to go with the flow. This also means, pausing, and breathing, before responding. You can be strongly emotional but ask yourself, how can you achieve what you want with a gentler approach.
Sagittarius Nov 22 – Dec 21
Rise and shine this month Sagittarius! You may feel the ushering in of creative, and inspiring energies. Enjoy this energy rush, because you will be as busy as a bee, and in fact will be glowing. So spread your wings, and I’m feeling honey will benefit you in some way. Enjoy!
