MAY belongs to Beltane and to the full flowering of nature. The Flower Moon rises warm and full-bodied. This time of year the veil between worlds thins in the joyful direction - presences of growth and love and abundance move easily in May's warm air. There's a quality of permission to this month. Permission to want things and to celebrate. To say out loud that the world is, right now, spectacular.

May opens under Taurus and on the 21st the sun crosses into Gemini. Two distinct energies share this month - use the transition point as a natural mid-month reset.

BELTANE is about union. Bringing things together. Joining intention with action and saying yes to what you want without hedging it three different ways. Love magic, abundance work, partnerships: all of them thrive. Work outside when you can. Leave offerings in places that mean something. The Flower Moon is one of the most fertile of the year and anything charged under it carries that forward.

May amplifies. Whatever is present in you - the good things and the unresolved things together - gets bigger this month. If something difficult surfaces, it's asking to be cleared before the season's momentum carries it further along. Beltane energy doesn't sort between what you'd prefer it touched and what you'd rather it didn't.
