“Insight and clarity ignite your boldest progress.” ~Crystal Wind

The themes for May are: “Insight, Clarity, Progress!”

May is a complex month where many themes are playing out with the main focus being on insights, clarity and progress on what is ending, what is beginning and what is most important and of value to you in your life. There are aspects of death/rebirth, aspects of power dynamics, a need to revisit how you are with your boundaries and protection, and great opportunities for breakthroughs as long as you are willing to listen to your intuition and come from a place of true authenticity. We have moved into a time where self-expression can be more important to you than your physical possessions, and, where your spiritual and social connections give you more support than what you can purchase in a store.

We still under the influence of great movement, action and change, however any progress you make must come from a place of practical choices and decisions based on intuitive personal insights and clarity that are becoming more and more available as we move forward this month.

The month starts off with a powerful and sensitive full moon in Scorpio that encourages you to gain more awareness and insights around your personal sense of power, self-esteem and any blocks that are keeping you from being fully authentic. Whether these are ancestral patterns or early childhood conditioning, you have an opportunity to really close a chapter on what needs to be complete. This may require tying up some loose ends in relationships, old intentions still floating around, and things on your to do list that you are ambivalent about either keeping or releasing.

When you close a chapter, it is time to begin a new one. What will it be? Think of progress as needing to include stretching your container of what is possible a bit and thinking outside the box for new solutions to old problems. There are 2 full moons this month, the second one falling on May 31, known as a blue moon. These 2 full moons act as bookends to a window of an interesting, exciting, terrifying, expansive, inspiring and inevitable time of change. Release and completion will be easier than in prior months as you become less and less attached to your physical possessions and more interested in where you can grow and evolve mentally, spiritually and emotionally.

It is important this month to revisit your purpose and where you put your energy, intention, and focus. Where might you be giving your power away and where do you need to set better boundaries? Are you putting out more energy than you are receiving? Are you putting energy towards people, ideas, projects, or old dreams that are not progressing? And what is feeding you, inspiring you and giving you the motivation you need to be intentional, focused and satisfied with your progress?

How the Month Shows Up

You Personally

It is truth time! What have you been putting off? What have you been reluctant to face regarding habits, patterns and what needs to be truly completed or healed or both? Are you satisfied with your life? What do you value? Where have you been putting your energy? Is it serving you?

The gift of this month is that there is lots of support, clarity and motivation to help you make progress in these areas. You will need to be disciplined around energy leaks, boundaries and protection. And you will need to carve out time for yourself to be with yourself so you can connect with what you value and how you wish to express yourself more authentically.

Communicate and bounce ideas off of those you trust and set boundaries against energies you do not find compatible. This is month where self-investigation around what serves and what does not is greatly supported and encouraged. You may find yourself going through a completion of a chapter of your life through a big letting go of some energy or situation that has held you back. If this is the case, do it with gratitude for the lessons and the growth these situations provided. Looking forward to something new, remember it is OK to say no to anything that does not intuitively feel right.

Our popular and helpful online course The Power Path to Good Boundaries and Protection is on sale this month to support you.

Relationships

The most important focus in relationships this month is about power dynamics. What relationships make you feel disempowered? Where have you over-compromised? What have you been unnecessarily putting up with? How have you treated the people who mean most to you in your life? This could be a rough period especially around intimate long-term relationships where patterns have been solidified over time. It is a good month to examine your own tendencies in relationships and strive for more authenticity, truth and balance.

Negative reactions from others will mostly be fear driven, especially if the ego is a bit fragile. It is important not to take reactions personally and to always come from a place of compassion especially when others are struggling with their own self-reflection. Remember, you cannot fix anything for others, you can only strive for your own healing and progress. Authentic self-expression is one of the intentions high on the list this month.

Be open to new relationships this month as social communication and need for community is enhanced by certain influences. You may feel more social and yearn for more connection to others. Make yourself available to those new connections provided they are aligned with you.

Health and the Physical Body

In keeping with the themes of insight, clarity and progress, personal health and well-being may experience a boost of support where you most need it. Be intentional about what your body, mind and spirit needs, be disciplined about your follow through, and be open to contacts and connections that come your way to support those intentions.

You can experience great breakthroughs this month as long as you are willing to think outside the box and try new things. The body is an amazing and miraculous elemental and your physical container in this life. Allow your intuition to guide you in supporting what it needs and spend some time being in gratitude for the service it has and is providing.

This is also a good month to examine where you may have given your power away to others who may have come across as knowing best what you should need and what your physical conditions may be. Always check in with yourself and your own intuition, get second and third opinions and then take the actions that feel right.

Supporting the kidneys, cooling the liver, and balancing fluids will be important this month as well as nurturing your adrenals that may have become a bit fried and frazzled with the recent fiery activity.

Business Partnerships and Projects

This is an important area to examine where your energy is going. Be willing to let go of outdated projects or at least outdated methods. Be willing to listen and take advice from those you trust that may have more information or knowledge about how to progress. With the influences this month on completions and beginning new chapters, reflect on how this may affect you in the areas of business, work, projects and even partnerships. Be open to new insights and clarity about changing direction or adopting new technologies.

Larger cycles of energy flow always bring those who think they can predict what is happening on the world stage. It is best this month to suspend your beliefs and adopt a philosophy of “anything is possible”. The less collective agreement you buy into, the more freedom you will have to create and manifest a different future for yourself.

It is a good month to start or restart a project, perhaps even something you have been dreaming and planning for. A project can be anything; a trip on your bucket list, cleaning your garage, organizing more time to spend on a hobby or with loved ones, upgrading your health, etc.

Environment

The best way to work with the environment this month is to always see it as an ally no matter how the weather or other patterns are manifesting. Since the month has a focus on power and being discerning about where you give it away, pay attention to your reactions regarding weather and climate etc. Are you in resistance? If so, you are not open to the power that natural cycles and weather patterns can provide. If it is windy, ask the wind to cleanse something for you. If it is rainy, ask the spirit of water to nourish you as it nourishes the earth. Always look to the positive aspects of the power behind each element and work with them as allies instead of coming from resistance, fear or irritation.

We are likely to see more dynamic weather patterns and climactic events. Be prepared, accepting, and flexible.

We always encourage you to take care of your personal environment as well. Decluttering is our favorite suggestion for some time now. This month you can add “completion” to any decluttering project that makes the release even more final. Bring in a water feature if you do not have water around you in your environment. This is an important balance to the fiery energy this year.

Dates and Time Frames

May 1
Full Moon in Scorpio is Friday May 1, at 11:23 AM Mountain Daylight Time (MDT). Also known as the Flower Moon, this moon promotes balance between the physical tangible aspects of life and the spiritual, mysterious, emotionally intuitive aspects of life. You may feel an internal pressure to explore your emotional truth, finally coming to terms with releasing something that has been in the way of your authentic self-expression.

There is lots of support during this full moon time for stepping into your power and setting boundaries against what has disempowered you in the past, especially with regards to relationship dynamics. We are excited to face the future with all its amazing possibilities but at the same time we are feeling some nostalgia around what we know we need to release before moving forward.

It is a time where the theme of death and rebirth is alive and well. When something gets released there is space for the birth of a new idea, project, relationship, perspective, attitude, understanding, and way of being in the world. So wrap up those loose ends and strive for balance between what you give yourself and what you give others.

May 1-7
Under the influence of the Full Moon on the 1st, we start the month off with a sensitive awareness of what we need, what is not working, where we are overwhelmed or exhausted and what our options are at this time to bring more balance into our lives. Take this awareness seriously and contemplate what you should release to give yourself more space and freedom. What behaviors, relationships, patterns, attitudes, fears and worries have become energy leaks that keep you from moving forward?

This is a good time frame to gain some insight into how you use your energy and to refine and revise how you want to express yourself out in the world. Personal truth and authenticity play a big role in your intentions and choices so make sure you are setting yourself on you own true path and not one that is dictated by another’s expectation or definition of you.

This is also good time for motivation to get things done and make progress on projects whatever they may be.

May 4: Weekly Wisdoms with Lena. 8:30AM MDT

May 8-15
Take this time frame to examine your personal power, where you may have given it away and how you feel about your foundation of certainty, self-esteem and power in the world. Especially in relationship dynamics, recognize where certain revisions need to occur to rebalance your experience of giving and receiving. You may get insights and clarity around where you need to plug up some energy leaks and create some boundaries around your truth, time and energy. What is your position and how do you see yourself in your relationships and community? What changes might be necessary for you to feel more empowered?

The power aspect of the month also creates an opportunity for a death rebirth cycle, embracing the release of any old beliefs about your power to manifest and birthing a new inspired certainty and positive self-esteem that supports the attitude of “anything is possible”.

May 16
New Moon in Taurus is Saturday, May 16, at 2:03 PM Mountain Daylight Time (MDT)

Join Lena for a shamanic healing session working with the energies of this new moon time Monday, May 18, 7PM MDT

May 16-23
This is the most potent window for clarity, insight and productive thinking set off by the new moon in Taurus on the 16th. Use your intuition and creativity to stretch your ideas and thoughts outside the box as there is an opportunity to gain new perspectives, insights and solutions for problem solving. If something in your life, work or relationships needs revision, allow that clarity to guide you and know that the support is there.

This can be a highly transformational time provided you don’t resist what needs to go through a completion and a cycle of ending so you can welcome a new beginning in the space created. It is also a practical time where your physical container and support for comfort needs to be considered when making choices and decisions that create major change.

May 18: Weekly Wisdoms with Lena. 8:30AM MDT

May 24-31
An excellent window of clarity leading to beneficial and valuable communication and the sharing of ideas for finding new creative ways of doing things. Always use your intuition to check in with your authentic motivation for moving ahead with any opportunity presenting itself during this time. This is also an emotionally sensitive time where you may need to set boundaries around your self-expression as well as take time for yourself especially if you experience any power struggles within your relationships or community. The work and insights around power issues continues but there can be major breakthroughs in how you show up. Make sure this potentially difficult time does not end in a breakdown that can be avoided with good boundaries around your time, space and emotional sensitivity.

We are now in a time where self-expression is at the top of the list and the balance between your physical support systems and your spiritual practices is key to positive progress.
