This month we are encouraged to connect with emotional clarity, expression, and experience empowering breakthroughs. We are going to have a Scorpio Full Moon, New Moon in Gemini, and a very potent conjunction with the Sun & Uranus. What does this all mean? In a nutshell, May is an energy that allows us to transform. It encourages us to trust our inner knowing while also, very bravely move toward new thought patterns, creations, and opportunities.
Full Moon in Scorpio – May 12
Scorpio is reserved, deep and passionate and highly intuitive. The full moon is where we experience the harvest of seeds that have been planted and tended to overtime. When we experience this partnership, we experience a time for releasing emotional baggage, trauma patterns, and cutting energetic cords. This Full Moon invites us to do some shadow work, perform rituals of emotional release, and focus on self so we can reclaim personal power they may have gone to the wayside in the previous weeks.
Sun Conjunct Uranus in Taurus – May 17
This is that big breakthrough energy. Right before a big breakthrough, we experience what feels like everything is falling apart (and to a certain extent, it is). To make way for what is truly meant for your highest good, the not so aligned aspects of our lives must fall away. With the Sun bringing fire energy and Uranus representing change and innovation, expect to have flashes of life insight, quantum shifts or downloads, or sudden changes in areas of money, values, or stability. It’s time to Innovate or elevate. Let outdated versions of your life fall away to make space for the extraordinary.
Jupiter Square Lunar Nodes – May 18
Jupiter is the planet of abundance, higher knowing and expansion. Understand that with this alignment there may be some stirred up questions of your life path, destiny and current direction. When a planet has a square aspect, it can feel uncomfortable, and you may feel some resistance. It may also feel like there is a fork in the road, but this is time where you push through that discomfort because just on the other side is growth, expansion and new life aspects that you never knew were there. You can choose to either continue playing small or expand into your soul’s calling and purpose. Lean into discomfort. There’s no growth without it.
Venus Trine Mars – May 22
Venus is the planet of love and Mars is the planet of action and passion. When two planets sit in a trine, they complement each other and work together. It’s easier energy. With these two planets, we receive blessings in relationships, creativity, and manifestation work involving partnerships. This is a great time for launching products and new ideas as well. If you have a passion project, or want to deepen intimacy, the Venus/Mars Trine is the time to do it. 100%, this where divine masculine + feminine energy comes together in a very sacred collaboration.
New Moon in Gemini – May 26
The New Moon is where we plant seeds of intention. Gemini represents adaptability, curiosity and socialization. Plant seeds of intention in the areas of communication, learning, marketing, or writing. Use the New Moon to quite literally script your evolution. Journal and write a letter to your future self about what you’d like to manifest, what your goals are, positive words of how amazing you are (and then come back to it on the next full moon), design a digital vision board, or record your goals in a voice memo. Using the New Moon/Gemini energy in a way to help you record and document will come into importance for you down the road.
Big Energy Themes This Month!
Transformation: With the Scorpio Full Moon and Uranian influence, May encourages and pushes us to remove and cloaks we are wearing and truly step into an empowered and more authentic version of ourselves.
Disruption: Don’t fear the shake-up. As the universal life flow changes, we can’t experience ease without the contrast of unease. But you are always in control. By surrendering and understanding change is inevitable and necessary for the soul to grow, you will flow through this square transit with much less resistance and much more ease.
Love: With Venus–Mars sitting pretty together and a Gemini New Moon, this is a prime time to manifest through inspired action, your voice, and meaningful relationships.

This month, allow change to be a co-creator with you. Release resistance. It only holds us in place and hinders our growth. Really trust in your ability and capacity to evolve.
With Love and Light,
