Energy Forecast for MAY 2024 | Creativity and Innovation
This cycle of your life is calling on creativity, innovation, and the true pursuit of your desires. We can feel the fire of said passion building within you, but how can you actually create the forward movement you require to live the life of your dreams?
They say step by step is always the way, and for the month of May your energy forecast below will provide clarity as each step unfolds before you.
As a Spiritual Mentor and Intuitive Guide, every single month I tune into the vibration of the collective and channel the Universal Messages for how this month will influence you.
Your thoughts, emotions, actions, beliefs, and desires are all energy, and this energy is easily affected by the world around you. When you take a glimpse into the Universal energy that may be influencing you, you can have a better understanding of where you are being guided and how to live in alignment with your Spirit.
For the month of May, I am sharing the messages that are coming through clearly, so you can better walk through each day with more ease and grace, while embodying your own Spirit.
Overall Theme of the Month
Light-Seer: Knight of Wands
Shadow-Seer: The Emperor (reversed)
Theme: Rabbit - Fertility: Your creativity is at a peak
The first three weeks of May are guiding us through Taurus season, which brings a groundedness to our lives and reminds us to live in the moment, believing in our own abilities, and walking the path of prosperity. Taurus is an Earth sign which can represent more realistic perspectives, aligning with logic and steadfastness. After the wake of the past Eclipse season, many of us have felt the shake-up of the Universe guiding us in new directions. During this season you see your path unfolding with more realistic steps and the fog of uncertainty begins to clear.
The Knight of Wands is the fiery, passionate energy you’ve been hoping for to inspire and motivate you with the forward movement you require. The theme of this month, from Rabbit medicine, is awakening your creative, adventurous side and you feel more inclined to pursue your dreams with inspired action, courage and enthusiasm. The dark clouds are lifting and you feel ready to bravely pursue the things that inspire you the most.
You are finding yourself reaching for new cravings because the old patterns and habits have not fulfilled you. This energy of spontaneity building within you is guiding a sense of freedom as you bring your desires into your reality. Meanwhile, the shadow-seer of The Emperor reversed is reminding you to not be too rigid in your plans because it could invoke defensiveness, selfishness, a desire for control and stubbornness.
Many of us are being reminded that we do not hold onto control in our lives, as there is so much out of our control. Your old ways of gripping onto control comes from the fear of uncertainty. How can you lean into your creativity, passion and adventurous side from the sole purpose of enjoying the process, rather than being stubborn and rigid with expectations. What are your motives? Where are your boundaries? How are you holding onto expectations of a specific outcome? Where are you being rigid, when you need to lean into flow? These kinds of questions can help guide you through the month as you heal your relationship with authority, control and will-power.
As you allow yourself to be guided by the Universe, you awaken the power of your creativity and passion. Your inner spark is alight, and now you are seeing the old toxic masculinity of your shadow side more clearly. Can you find a flow with the adventurous side of you who desires to take action with enthusiasm, without becoming too rigid in a need to gain control? Your experiences this month can teach you about living harmoniously with having a plan and strategy for your forward movement, while at the same time enjoying the adventure of curiosity and letting inspiration guide you in action.

Back to the Monthly Energy Forecast for MAY 2024
Now, let’s break it down on a week by week basis while following the energy of the Moon phases.
WEEK ONE: Wednesday, May 1st to Sunday, May 5th
Wednesday the 1st - Third Quarter Moon
Page of Pentacles (reversed)
Deer - Pathfinder: Trust Your Instincts to guide you through this situation
The Third Quarter Moon is a reminder to slow down, turn inwards, and take time for introspection. This is when your energy is best used for reflection, to look backwards and see what didn’t work, where you applied a new lesson, how you upheld your boundaries, and what you can gain from past experiences to help you with forward movement. During the week of the Third Quarter Moon phase it’s not a time to rush into action, instead you’ll notice the Universe encouraging you to slow down and see things from a different perspective.
The message from the Page of Pentacles reversed is about seeing how you’ve been noncommittal, better understanding the lack of progress on certain projects or tasks, your own procrastination habits, and lastly how you’ve been keeping your plans in your mind rather than bringing them down to earth through inspired action. What are you doing that is holding you back from the forward movement you’ve been desiring?
This week is not about judging yourself or holding blame and shame around your experiences. Instead, it’s about building awareness on your own inaction and asking the Universe to bring clarity around your plans and next steps. You are being reminded that there is always a path forward, and while the Universe guides progress through one life-stage at a time, you have your own instincts to direct you through each situation. Right now, Deer medicine is your pathfinder, asking you to trust your instincts and the inner knowing, or intuition, that guides you step by step.
As you focus on reflection, you are better able to see where you are holding yourself back through procrastination and being noncommittal, and how the voice of your soul is speaking through your intuition, encouraging you to follow one step at a time. It’s not about ensuring you know the next 10 steps of your path, instead it’s about having a general idea of what direction you are heading in, and allowing yourself to see clearly the one step in front of you.
You are being guided, you simply need to become aware of how you may be impeding your own progress.
WEEK TWO: Monday, May 6th to Sunday, May 12th
Tuesday the 7th - New Moon
10 of Cups
Lynx - Discernment: Look beyond immediate appearances
The Law of Divine Oneness says we are all connected, we are all equal, we are all made from love, we are one. When we live with this perspective it becomes easier to feel connected to the community around you, and you become more open and vulnerable with those in your life. We are all created from the same energy, and our life experience is about remembering no one person is greater than another.
The 10 of cups is the energetic flow of community, love and harmony within relationships. As we move into the energy of the New Moon you are being asked to set clear intentions around the relationships you are calling in or the strengthening of relationships you currently have. Say for instance you have a friend or family member in your life where you don't see eye to eye with each other. Your intention for this New Moon may be, “I intend to become more open with my friend, so they can better understand my perspective. At the same time I wish to hold space for their experiences, so I intend to support them through their challenges with more love and kindness.”
The message from Lynx medicine is reminding you that you are unable to see the entire picture right now, so if you are experiencing a rift in your relationships it’s time to remember they are human too, trying to make sense of this life. This week is guiding you to bring more harmony and love into your relationships, while being discerning about the situation. This one moment is not the entire picture, so don’t get caught up in the surface level issue. There is something deeper happening, and your ability to see beyond the immediate issue will help you to embody more peace.
WEEK THREE: Monday, May 13th to Sunday, May 19th
Wednesday the 15th - First Quarter Moon
Page of Wands (reversed)
Dove - Serenity: Slow Down, pause and breathe
When the First Quarter Moon arrives you begin to feel the anticipation and upkick of energy and motivation. The way your energy and emotions are influenced by the First Quarter phase can be felt in a desire to use your renewed energy to tackle all the tasks on your to-do list. This is when you really feel the momentum carrying you forward. Be wary though, because you might just end up using that revitalized energy for tasks and projects that are not aligned with your desires and the future you are wanting to create.
The Page of Wands reversed is showing you the shadows you carry in your own limiting beliefs, and feeling eager to start something new yet confronted by obstacles. You may even feel the spark of creator angst, knowing you want to move forward, yet not knowing how to move forward or feeling frustrated at the challenges being presented on your path.
The message from Dove medicine is a reminder to not rush ahead with pressure and forcefulness leading your actions. Instead, take a moment to slow down, pause and breathe first because then you can guide yourself forwards with intentional, purposeful and aligned energy. You are creating something divine and magical in your life, remember the main theme of the month in Rabbit, your creativity coming to a peak. Things are beginning to add up in the form of blessings, clarity and direction for your life, but the limiting beliefs within you may be saying “you’re not doing enough” or “things aren’t happening fast enough”. Life is built brick by brick, and you cannot rush the progress of your desires, nor the Universal Path for you. In each moment there is a lesson, and space to find gratitude for where you’ve come from.
In the moments where you feel the pressure build, ask yourself to take a breath, become grounded to your Spirit again, and feel the inner build of your passions guiding you forward. Everything happening right now is part of your path because through these challenges you are able to become more resilient and rooted in your purpose with drive.
Take a deep breath, ask yourself why you are choosing this path, and remember that inspiration comes from the pursuit of your dreams.
WEEK FOUR: Monday, May 20th to Sunday, May 26th
Monday the 20th - Gemini Season
Thursday the 23rd - Full Moon
5 of Wands
Raccoon - Resourcefulness: You have all the resources you need
Gemini season begins and we see the transition into innovative creative projects. You might be asking, but isn’t that what this whole month has been about? Yes, and the energy of Gemini season will amplify your innovative and creative projects tenfold. This is also the season to be more open to learning, whether that means educating yourself in a new way, or being open to life lessons presenting themselves this season.
The Full Moon phase is always an amplification of energy, as it ushers in clarity through your own ability to surrender. Anything can happen under a Full Moon and you are being reminded at this time how you really don’t have control over most things. The Universe says, “when you surrender to the flow of life everything pieces together more easily; yet, when you resist this natural flow, through your own rigidity, stubbornness and need for control, your life represents true resistance.
The 5 of Wands represents the need for healthy competition and feeling pushed by others to excel. There can be a dynamic energy of up-leveling when you experience conflict and ambition in the pursuit of surpassing limits. The Universe is reminding you that a little rivalry can be a good thing because it can push you to become the very best version of yourself, and to move quicker than if you were alone. This is a time to look for healthy competition and collaboration as a way to feel inspired and motivated.
You can support others and feel supported by others as a way to take your innovative and creative projects to the next level. The energy from Raccoon medicine is reminding you that you have all the resources you need to achieve those dreams, you simply have to stop waiting for things to happen and instead start making them happen.
Pay attention to what feels resistant and what feels like a natural flow of energy this week. Allow yourself to ride the waves of what flows, and you’ll see yourself climbing up the ladder of success.
WEEK FIVE: Monday, May 27th to Friday, May 31st
Thursday the 30th - Third Quarter Moon
The Fool
Badger - Perseverance: Dig in and see it through to completion
The potential for where you want to go and what you want to create is now becoming more clear to you. This enthusiasm and optimism is leading you on the next greatest adventure of your life. It’s not all easy all the time though, so as you walk through the last days of this month, Badger medicine is reminding you to persevere.
The Universe is reminding you that there is something greater out there for you to experience in this lifetime, and you feel the childlike optimism to explore throughout this journey. At times there may be obstacles and challenges, but that doesn’t mean it’s not the path for you. In those moments you get to turn inwards, and use introspection as a way to better understand how to overcome said obstacles.
Whatever has been awakened within you through this month, the Badger is encouraging you to dig in and see it through to completion. This does not mean the ending is near, it means you are aligning with your greater purpose and the lessons and experiences coming are all part of your expansion. Keep going, alight the fiery spark of passion within you, and know that you are being guided.
This month is a beautiful representation of the beginning phases of a new cycle, as seen through the desires you are building and working towards. They say Rome wasn’t built in a day, and the seeds you sow today won’t harvest the fruit tomorrow. But, the journey of letting your creativity and your innovative ideas lead you is the path to fruition.
When you are feeling stressed, overwhelmed, frustrated or doubtful, slow down and remember that your shadows are coming forward. Those are the moments to cleanse your energy, better understand why you feel what you feel, and strengthen your connection to the Universe by asking for support and guidance.
You won’t always feel clear on your path, because your humanness will oftentimes spark doubt, worry and fear. This is where you are being reminded to connect back to the bigger picture, find your footing in a way that allows you to feel more stable and secure in who you are and where you are heading. As always, you can connect with your Divine Team of Angels, Ancestors, and Spirit Guides to provide the direction or comfort you are needing.
