Energy Forecast for May 2023 | Realign Your Values
When one door closes there can be a period of time before the next one opens. In this moment your fear of the unknown can become triggered and you feel forced into this external shift. Where your Ego says, “quickly now, we need to rush into action to gain control again”, your Soul says, “let’s slow down, align with our values, and make sure our next step forward feels right”. Which voice are you listening to this month?
Every single moment the Universal Energy is shifting and as a spiritual empath, you are feeling the effects of these energetic movements. These monthly Energy Forecasts are meant to provide insight into the main theme at play each month, so you can lead yourself with more ease and grace.
As a Spiritual Mentor and Intuitive Guide, I channel messages from Spirit through my clair abilities and intuition, while also deciphering the influences of the Moon Cycle, planetary movements, and astrological signs.
You could spend all of your time gathering information based on the Universal Energy as it shifts and expands each day. The purpose of these Monthly Energy Forecasts are to provide insight in how you can integrate this knowledge into your life in order to stay soul aligned, while learning, healing and growing.

May is asking you to SLOW DOWN and ground yourself into a set of values that support a positive internal perception of self.
Let’s look into how this theme plays out week by week and what you can do to support yourself moving forward.
Week One: Monday May 1st to Sunday May 7th
Full Moon Lunar Eclipse in Scorpio - Friday May 5th
Mercury Retrograde until May 14th
While Mercury is in retrograde this week, you will notice an energetic influence of needing to slow down, reflect, regroup and reaffirm with yourself how you are wanting to live life. Do not rush ahead into new projects at this time because if you do, obstacles will arise to purposely slow you down.
There is a Full Moon Lunar Eclipse in Scorpio on Friday May 5th and this is the final eclipse in Scorpio from the Scorpio-Taurus eclipse series that began 18 months ago. Scorpio energy is all about death and rebirth, this is the energetic influence of a door closing while you stand in a hallway waiting for the next door to open.
You know a shift is taking place in your life, and if you haven’t felt it yet, you’ll begin to see the effects of this shift on your external life. You might not know the results of this shift, and you are meant to know how it will all unfold and where it will take you. The Universe is quite literally keeping you on your toes right now.
Full Moon always has a powerful energy and with it being a Lunar Eclipse this is amplified tenfold. The fact that Mercury is also in retrograde, now more than ever you need to slow down and practice soul care. I’m not talking about having a bath… I’m talking about grabbing your journal and reflecting on how you feel. Acknowledge the triggers that pop up in your life and ask yourself how you can offer yourself more compassion.

Week Two: Monday May 8th to Sunday May 14th
Third Quarter Moon - Friday May 12th
Mercury Retrograde until May 14th
This week you have the opportunity to gain clarity for yourself, if you haven’t already received clarity from the Full Moon energy. The Third Quarter Moon influences you to reflect and take time for introspection, which aligns perfectly with Mercury Retrograde.
The fact that we are in Taurus season the internal prompts for you are associated with reliability, loyalty and feeling grounded and down to earth. I stated earlier the monthly theme is “ground yourself into a set of values that support a positive internal perception of self”. This is the internal shift you are being asked to create for yourself. Even if you feel like you’ve been taking good care of yourself lately, now is the perfect time to get clear on what you value about yourself.
You need to be loyal to you. You need to be reliable in taking care of yourself. If you desire a positive self-perception, meaning you hold compassion for who you are, then you need to become grounded in how you care for yourself.
The Scorpio-Taurus Eclipse series over the past 18 months showed you where you weren’t prioritizing yourself, or where different thought patterns and behaviours you carried weren’t supporting you. Those old ways were triggered throughout this entire eclipse series so you could more easily see what patterns need to die away to make space for a more soul aligned version of you.
What does this mean for you right now? It’s time to reflect on what main issues have arisen in your life since November 2021. This is a transformation of self, so looking at where you’ve grown or where you resisted learning a lesson.
Inside the In-Depth MAY Energy Forecast you will receive more clarity on what this means for you specifically. Purchase it here.
Week Three: Monday May 15th to Sunday May 21st
New Moon in Taurus - Friday May 19th
As Mercury has stationed direct again, you will still feel the effects of the shadow period, which means it’s still not time to rush ahead into action. Take everything you’ve reflected on, everything you’ve reviewed, and see how you want to refocus your energy moving forward.
Throughout this entire year you are being asked to focus on how you perceive yourself and the relationship you have with yourself. Being Spring in the Northern Hemisphere, this is only the beginning of realigning your values to include uplifting soul care practices.
The New Moon in Taurus is on Friday, May 19th and this is a great time to set intentions to keep you grounded in presence. It’s easy as an empath for you to become influenced by the energy around you, and this can sway you off course or at times trigger old fears and worries.
Having clear soul practices in place to keep you grounded will help you build awareness on what tends to sway you off course so you can create better boundaries for yourself. Remember, the wisdom you gained from the first two weeks of May while in slow movement and reflection will help you better support yourself for years to come.
You are beginning to feel an upswing in energy by the end of this week, as inspiration, ideas and blessings begin to lead you forwards.
Week Four & a Half: Monday May 22nd to Wednesday May 31st
First Quarter Moon - Saturday May 27th
You feel more aligned, grounded and present in yourself this week and a half from the inner work you’ve led yourself through. The First Quarter Moon phase inspires you to take action, really moving the needle forwards on different projects or ideas that have been mulling in your head for a few weeks, possibly even months.
As you feel into your energy, you can more easily decipher when you feel off because pressure or stress has infiltrated your state of being. Remember those intentions of presence and the values you set to create a positive self perception? Don’t let the pressure and stress lead you from a misaligned energy.
You know you are ready to take action and move forward, but first ensure your energy is aligned, grounded and you are fully present. The thoughts in your mind can lead you from Ego, whereas the feeling in your body will always remind you to align with Spirit.
This last week and a half of May practice cleansing your energy, calling in the voice of your Soul, and letting yourself move forward in action based on what feels good. You are becoming loyal to yourself and the energy of feeling good all while shifting your self perception.
May is truly about slowing down and taking the time to reflect on how you perceive yourself, allowing the old patterns to be released in order to make space for this new, elevated version of you who is focused on soul care, compassion, and living with presence.

Message from Spirit
Now that you have a good view into the Universal Energy and how you’ll be influenced this month, let’s see if there is one main message for the collective from Spirit.
I am using Steven Farmer’s Earth Magic Oracle Cards along with my clair abilities and intuition to decipher the message.
The question being asked this month is, “what do we need to know to heal our self-perception?”
CRYSTALS - FOCUS
The power of crystals is not that they destroy or create energy, they transmute the energy through the light that passes through them. For instance, a hematite crystal protects you from negativity, so it takes the negative energy in your surroundings and lets the light pass through it in order to alchemize the negativity into something that feels better.
The crystals are a message for you to focus on your ability to transmute energy in your own way.
This means, stop ignoring, avoiding or denying the self-perception you currently carry. If you know you have insecurities, self-doubt, self-judgment or self-criticism, you need to let the light pass through this original energy in order to shift it into a self-perception of compassion and trust.
You are the light.
Grab your journal and focus your attention on how your thoughts currently perceive you.
How do your thoughts perceive your good qualities?
How do your thoughts perceive your not so good qualities?
How do your thoughts perceive you when you make a mistake?
You have to focus on what your mind is currently filled with in association to your self-perception in order to begin to heal and create the empowering shift you desire.
Once you’ve journaled through the heavy, dark thoughts, call on your Higher Self or the voice of your Soul and journal through these new questions to begin creating the shift.
How would your Higher Self encourage you right now?
What are the words of support and compassion that come from the voice of your soul?
What is the kindness you easily offer to others and how can you offer it to yourself now?
Through your focus you are creating an empowering shift in your self-perception.
