Energy Update May 2025 – 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 20 – 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, the planet of love, beauty, and money. Taurus is the most sensual sign. The shadows of Taurus: Stubbornness and the need 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 learned.
The shadow of Gemini is being inconsistent and inconsiderate. Gemini can have a lack of attention and focus.
JOURNAL PROMPTS:
How can I show up more consistently?
What can I do to communicate my needs better?

Create a ritual to connect with the moon. Let me share more about the moon phases and how to honor these.
First Quarter Moon: Commitment.

This is the time to take action. The time to grow. In the First Quarter Moon, you take inspired action toward 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:
If I am the main character of my life, what does he/she do?
How can I bring more ‘fun’ into my passions?
Full Moon: Illuminate
Full Moon at 22° in Scorpio
Monday 12 May at 11:56 AM CST | 5:56 PM GMT | Tuesday 13 May at 2:56 AM AEST
Expression of the need to embody passion. Under the Full Moon, all is illuminated. The seeds and intentions planted in the April New Moon are revealed.
Taurus Intention + Scorpio Moon = Earth + Water element connection.
Scorpio is a yin sign, it is fixed and aligns with the element of water. Scorpio is about the principle of death and rebirth. The intention of facing our fears and knowing and stepping into our own power.
The scorpion has the ability to really cause death. Death to us means clarifying our values and being deeply aligned with our vision. It is time to work on bringing your vision to life.
Scorpio is inviting us to seek out this vision and for the meaningful impact, we want to have in the world and surrender to the steps forward.
JOURNAL PROMPTS:
What do I need to let go of so I can birth something new?
What is illuminated in this Full Moon with my New Moon intention?

The time to surrender and reflect. The Third Quarter Moon encourages us to release what no longer serves us and reevaluate our path forward.
Taurus Intention + Aquarius Moon = Earth + Air element connection.
Aquarius energy is all about innovation, challenging norms, and focusing on the greater good. This is a time to consider how your actions align with your ideals.
