There is something special about May that makes everyone feel a bit brighter. Once the showers of April die down, the colors and nature of the season can let themselves shine and flourish. Well, similarly to the flowers in May, I believe that this is what this month’s astrology means for all of us as well! Let’s take a look into what May has in store for us!

Before the grand zodiac shift of Spring to Summer, there will be a Full Moon Eclipse on May 16th.

This means that the Sun will block what would have been a Blood Moon! This eclipse will be visible in North and South America, Europe, and parts of Africa. For those of us in the US, the eclipse will begin roughly around 3:00 in the morning and reach its pinnacle at about 5:30 AM. 

So what does this mean?

Well for starters, this will be the only full moon Eclipse until November so if you can manage to wake up and see it, it would be worth it! Astrologically, a full moon usually signifies the accumulation or ending of a cycle, a great revelation or ending. The Full Moon, or Blood Moon, would illuminate the conflicts in our lives that we should resolve. An Eclipse kind of complicates the process! This means instead of recognition and letting go to start a new you should move towards improving the going-on in your life and create resolution. You might feel a little like you’re stumbling through the dark- but rest assured there will be a light at the end of the tunnel (or eclipse)!

On May 20th, the sun will shift from Taurus energy to that of Gemini. 

This is the constellation start of the Summer season and with it, brings a great deal of change! Taurus energy often influences us to be our most practical and grounded selves to strive toward our goals. Gemini energy is lively, energetic, quick-witted, and can come with a sense of duality. Simply put, starting from the 20th of May, you might feel that your emotions will be ruling you instead of your mind! Keep in mind that with all of those emotions, a sense of curiosity comes with it. As the influence of Taurus has kept us motivated and structured, Gemini’s influence will release us for a fresh start.

Another exciting occurrence is the conjunction of the Moon and Venus on May 27th

Speaking of emotions - the conjunction of the Moon and Venus will have you reaching out to your friends and family seeking connection and harmony. You may be feeling a flurry of empathy and communication, so if there was ever a time to apologize or resolve conflicts this might be the best time!

Lastly, the month finishes up with a New Moon on the 30th. 

In the final days of May, we will have a New Moon that will conclude this month’s cycle and set us up for a new one to begin in June. A New Moon should encourage you to reflect on the past month’s successes and difficulties. Try to remember that with every month comes a fresh start and new challenges - and I look forward to experiencing them with you!

The weather is finally warming up! Spring and Summer are exciting seasons when the world comes to life again, and we can spend more time on the things that bring us joy. As our energy and time are revitalized and freed up, I always try to spend some quality time with myself and relax. One of my favorite ways to do this is by giving myself a tarot reading on a warm spring evening. 

With that in mind, I am excited to announce that in August 2022, I will be teaching a 4-week online course on the Basics of Tarot Reading!
