WHAT DOES THE ENCHANTING MONTH OF MAY 2024 HAVE IN STORE FOR US?

‘Make Things Happen’

​As we enter the month of May, we are greeted with the alignment of Venus, the planet of love and beauty, entering the sign of Taurus, which it governs. This coincides with the onset of Taurus season, a time when both Venus and the Sun occupy the same astrological sign. This harmonious conjunction promises to infuse our lives with an abundance of joy, comfort, and a heightened sense to nurture not just ourselves but our environment too.

Taurus, being an earth sign, is inherently connected to the natural world and the physical realm. With both Venus and the Sun residing in this grounded, sensual sign, we are likely to experience a renewed appreciation for the simple pleasures in life. This period encourages us to slow down, savour the moment, and nurture our connections with the people and surroundings that bring us contentment.

Mars enters Aries too during the first week of May, again Mars is the ruler of Aries, bringing with it determination and a fiery personality. May is the month to get things moving and to get jobs done. This signifies a period of increased motivation, decisiveness, and a heightened sense of initiative. You may find yourself brimming with the desire to take action. Tasks that may have been previously procrastinated or perceived as daunting can now be tackled with renewed vigour.

The full moon in the spirited sign of Sagittarius on the 23rd will bring a surge of social energy and enthusiasm. During this time, you'll likely feel more invigorated than usual by engaging with others. Allow yourself to fully immerse yourself in the social connections and activities that energize you. As the month draws to a close, we witness a pivotal astrological event - the entry of Jupiter into the mutable air sign of Gemini on May 26. This marks the beginning of a transformative year-long cycle that will significantly influence various aspects of your life. The shift of Jupiter, the planet of expansion and opportunity, into Gemini promises to unlock new avenues for growth, communication, and intellectual stimulation in the coming year.

Tarot Card for the month ahead: The High Priestess

Stand back quietly and watch events and know that what we see in others is often a reflection of ourselves.

All the experiences you have had in this lifetime have led you to where you are, right here and now. Those experiences are what have shaped you, they have shaped the thoughts and feelings that you now have. Never lose sight of your own experiences and feelings, they are unique to you and your journey. You are entitled to feel however you want to.

What we think becomes our reality. What you perceive is your reality. Listen to your own inner voice and what it is trying to say to you. If you look at the image on the card The High Priestess holds a scroll with the letters TORA, the book of truth. This is your life, you write the script. Listen to your intuition and divine guidance. Do not listen to others, their perception is not the same as yours.
​
The High Priestess is the keeper of secrets, the advice that comes from this is to not share your business. See the big picture of events but keep your thoughts and feelings to yourself. You will know in your heart what is needed.
