Energy Update May 2024 – Welcome to this space of the magazine. The one you connect with each month. The moon, the sun. Your spiritual being.
This is an invitation for you to set intentions and reflect throughout the month of May at key moments that punctuate the solar and lunar cycles – a form of soul nourishment.
Have courage, dear heart… This is a month for the Sun and the Moon. Grab a cup of tea (or coffee), your journal and an open mind.
Let us get started.
SUN in Taurus and Gemini April 21 – May 20:
Taurus: the sign of being abundant. Productivity and creation by hand and body. Being resourceful and persistent. Very slow and steady.
Taurus is ruled by Venus and Venus is sensual, all about love, beauty and money. Taurus is the most sensual sign.
The shadow of Taurus is being stubborn and scattered. Taurus is often looking for external validation.
JOURNAL PROMPTS:
- What makes me feel abundant right now?
- What abundance do I already have? Create a list.
May 21 – June 21:
Gemini: the sign of being curious. Gemini is the butterfly of the zodiac. It is light and airy. Intelligent. Cultured. Quick to change. Agile. Logical. Communicative. Clever.
Gemini is ruled by mercury. The planet of communication and sharing what you have learnt.
The shadow of Gemini is being inconsistent and inconsiderate. Gemini can have a lack of attention and focus.
JOURNAL PROMPTS:
- What areas of my communication would I like to focus on?
- How can I be more agile in my day-to-day tasks?
MOON with New Moon in Taurus + Full Moon in Sagittarius
Create a ritual to connect with the moon. Let me share more about the moon phases and how to honor these.
Last Quarter Moon: Re-evaluate. Last Quarter Moon at 11° in Aquarius (Wednesday 1.05 at 6.27 AM CDT, 12.27 PM BST and 9.27 PM AEST).
The time to surrender.
Aries Intention + Aquarius Moon = Fire + Air element connection. Aquarius is a yang sign, is fixed and connects with Air as an element. Air sign that is fixed and yang can be a beautiful combo.
It is all about journaling original ideas. It is all about being the questioner. Aquarius represents challenging ideas and making room for unorthodox ideas or opinions. It is all about channeling change. Take a journal and a pen.
JOURNAL PROMPTS:
- What idea can I take action on right now? And what ideas can I let go of?
- What change needs to happen in my life?
New Moon: Set Intention. New Moon at 19° in Taurus (Tuesday 7.05 at 10.22 PM CDT, Wednesday 8.05 at 4.22 AM BST and 1.22 PM AEST).
In the darkness. Connect with the seeds to be planted.
Taurus Intention + Taurus Moon = Earth + Earth element connection.
Taurus is a yin sign that embodies manifestation. As it is a fixed sign and an Earth sign it is all about feeling stable and grounded. Being productive by being in our body. Creating using our hands, our soul and our minds. It is about the embodiment. It is a sign that brings in practicality. Everything is slow and steady. Connect to the abundance you have.
It is about the symbol of connection to the cyclical rhythm. Taurus is full of abundance! It is time to invite financial stability and manifestation in the material world. Drop into your senses and physical presence. Connect with pleasure, beauty and nature.
The Full Moon invites you to embrace the need to improve it all and just let it be. Take a journal and a pen.
JOURNAL PROMPTS:
- What is arising in the New Moon?
- What mindset blocker is stopping me from bringing my manifestations to life?
First Quarter Moon: Commitment. FQ Moon is at 25° in Leo (Wednesday 15.05 at 6.48 AM, 12.48 PM BST, and 9.48 PM AEST).
This is the time to take action. The time to grow. In the first Quarter Moon, you take inspired action towards the plans you have created.
Taurus Intention + Leo Moon = Earth + Fire element connection.
Leo is a yang sign, fixed and a fire sign. Yang is about doing and creating. A place created from a passionate heart space.
Leo is about expression, it represents passion. It is all about fun, taking up space, being on stage and shining from this place. It is about embodying our passion and being seen for it. Take a journal and a pen.
JOURNAL PROMPTS:
- How can I connect more to my passions?
- When I think about my intention for this moon cycle, I feel…
Full Moon: Illuminate. Full Moon at 2° in Sagittarius (Thursday 23.05 at 8.53 AM CDT, at 2.53 PM BST and 11.53 PM AEST).
Expression of the need to embody passion. Under the Full Moon, all is illuminated. The seeds and intentions planted in the May New Moon are revealed.
Taurus Intention + Sagittarius Moon = Earth + Fire element connection.
Sagittarius is a yang sign, it is mutable and aligns with the element of fire.
Sagittarius is the Centaur, the blend between two realms, both human and animal.
It is about seeking something bigger and seeking wisdom for lifelong growth. It is the principle of wisdom.
Sagittarius invites us to explore and to wander the path less traveled, and all that it can teach us. Take a journal and a pen.
