How do you drop into your heart and intuition?

Overall:

May begins with light and fun energy, so enjoy it. In the middle of the month, things run amuck. You feel distracted and uneasy and it doesn’t get better for the next several weeks. Be super clear in communications and get any technology issues taken care of before the 3^rd week when Mercury goes retrograde in his own sign of Gemini.

Big Star Events:

Mercury out of bounds: 5/7 – 5/30
Super New Moon in Taurus: 5/11
Jupiter in Pisces: 5/13
Saturn retrograde joins Pluto retrograde: 5/23 – 10/10
Venus out of bounds: 5/24
Super Moon/Eclipse: 5/26
Mars back in bounds: 5/27 (since 3/21)
Mercury retrograde: 5/29 – 6/18

Week 1: Uplifting

The first week of May offers a long-overdue break from the aggressive energies of the past few months. Minds are opened, perspectives are widened and connecting with others is easier. The lift you feel provides opportunities for sexy encounters and romantic dates. There’s a brief testing point in the middle of the week, but it’s dovetailed by fascinating and fun situations. The end of the week gives you a zany push that lasts until the end of the month. Stay grounded and operate from your intuition to successfully navigate this influence.

Week 2: Boundless Easy Fun

Can you take time off this week? If so, do it. It’s an excellent week for fun and connecting with your friends and loved ones. It’s also a sexy and charming time. There is a pause in the middle of the week when you do feel like buckling down and getting things done. Lean into it if you’re spending your week at work. On the 13^th, Jupiter moves into Pisces, so it’s kumbaya time! Dreams, healing, creativity, sensuality and intuition are the name of the game for the next few months.

New Moon: Ideals

Details: May 11 New Moon Taurus @ 3:01 pm @ 21°

Get creative, dream and imagine while you have the ability to make it lasting. Think of the intentions you want to set for the next 6 months as you get ready for the ecliptic pair beginning on May 26^th. There’s clarity available that will be elusive for a few weeks, so make the most of it.

Week 3: Unbalanced

There’s an intense energy that urges you to take the long view, do deep research and make moderate plans against the push to be overly optimistic. The Sun enters Gemini to join Mercury and Venus, so your mind goes into overdrive. Your heart is already flirtatious and light, so it’s not a good barometer for keeping you centered and focused on your goals. There’s a slipperiness to the energies this week that contradicts the underlying pull of a longer, lasting tempo. Center, ground, center, ground is the mantra this week.

Week 4: Confusion

Saturn stations retrograde on the 23^rd and Mercury on the 29^th and there’s confusing and destabilizing energy all week. In fact, it lasts beyond the end of the month. The only good news is the aggressive influences decrease, but with all of the misinterpretations and sticky situations, I’m not sure you’re going to be able to tell. There is opportunity for creativity at the end of the month and that can give you a little relief.

Full Moon: Truth

Details: May 26 Total Lunar Eclipse Full Moon Gem/Sag @7:14 am

TRUTH is the name of the game for the next few weeks. Let’s find out if the world is ready for revealing what’s beneath the surface. I’m hoping so. Gather the reasons for celebrating you and all of your accomplishments and plant the seeds for releasing that which stands in your way. It’s the perfect time to reflect and review in order to renew.

Bottom Line: True KLT is helpful this month

May is a mixed bag, but the more you drop in your heart and tap into your inner knowing, the month becomes magical. May is for healing and developing your intuitive gifts.

Tarot: Five of Cups – Disappointment

At first glance, this appears to be a negative message and yet allowing the opening of opportunity presents an entirely different view. The five is about mastery of being a spiritual being and a human one and cups symbolizes emotions. Ponder your availability for the emotional realm. Do you let yourself live in the moment to set your heart free? Commit without expectations, listen to your heart’s wisdom and be free of attachment.

Crystal: Aqua Aura Quartz

Aqua Aura quartz allows freedom and enhances other stone’s healing powers. Grab a grounding stone such as black tourmaline, to help dispel negativity and keep your technology and communication paths running smoothly.

Better Yet, the PERCEPTION of Truth

Overall:

The words I wrote back in October 2020 for the 2021 forecast hold true:

We’re shaken about what’s happening in the collective and can reestablish our footing by diving into our deepest wishes and desires. This is the time to set our intentions for the next 6 months based upon the theme of truth. What is true for each of us? Rely on the guideposts we’ve been planting for the first half of the year. We can combat the doubt and insecurity by focusing on our long-term goals. Also, be open and honest to avoid unnecessary squabbles and power plays.

Big Star Events (chronologically):

Mercury still retrograde: 5/29 – 6/22
New Moon/Eclipse: 6/10
Saturn square Uranus: 6/14 for 2^nd time this year
Venus back in bounds 6/18
Jupiter retrograde: 6/20 – 10/18
Neptune retrograde: 6/25 – 12/1

Week 1: Complications

The first week of June continues the mixed bag energy of May. June begins as May ends – confusing, destabilizing and complicating, yet filled with opportunities for success. 2021 has proven to move and shake to help find footing in what’s real and not real. On one hand, you have a force pushing you toward success and recognition and on the other, it’s complicated with intense power plays and competitive forces pulling at you. In the middle, there’s a nebulous protective veil making you feel safe and secure. Mixed bag? That’s an understatement.

Week 2: Ch-ch-changes

The week begins with exciting news and you’re riding high, filled with confidence. Your mind is in full gear and wants to digest lots of information. You seek any and all activity. You desire fun and lightness after these last many months. Then as quickly as this fun bubble begins, it deflates. Your hit a low energy and it’s too much for you. You get knocked with disappointment through dishonesty or deception. What you think is true proves not to be.

Highlight: June 14^th is one of the big star clangs of the year (reminiscent of February). Refer to my long post about how it affects you: https://www.kimwoods.com/2021starclang/ Change is upon you. You can’t stop it, so don’t try. These changes are for your own good. Let go of outdated patterns of behavior and take action to embrace your future. Remember, growth is unfamiliar, so your mind wants to reject it. Don’t let your mind lead. Your heart knows what’s good for you. Follow its whispers. Hint: It’s about being naturally, unapologetically and authentically you.

New Moon: Mind or Intuition?

Details: June 10 Annular Solar Eclipse New Moon in Gemini @ 6:54 am ET

The New Moon is all about the mind – how it thinks, speaks, converses, observes, perceives and intuits. It’s also about how busy it can get, tangled in confusion and playing games with you about how you use your time, focus and energy. The upcoming changes on the heels of those coming fast and furious this year, have you questioning yourself and others. Adding to the mix is an intensity about power and control over your home and work lives. You feel pushed and pulled. My ONE tip? Drop into your heart and let it guide you. You’ve heard me say this plenty of times, your heart always knows.

Week 3: Soft & Slow

The 3^rd week gives you a much-needed breath. Take it slow and relax into the sweet, sensitive energies of the watery signs. You feel creative and compassionate. Let yourself fall into an easy rhythm and carve out time for self-care and tender moments. Live, laugh and love. Jupiter retrogrades on June 20^th until October, giving you clarity on the ways you’re taking advantage of your gifts. Your life’s quest is under review – how are you doing against your soul mission? Are you fulfilling your heart’s desires? Will you say YES to living your life to its fullest or will you remain in the comfortable safe haven you’ve created for yourself? This is an easy time to relax and renew, and it’s also a good time to ponder your answers.

Week 4: Opportunity

June ends with opportunity. You feel good with increased enthusiasm. The prior week’s pace renews your energy and outlook. Accept growth with confidence. As the days click by, pressure intensifies and relationships become fraught with suspicions and jealousy. Don’t succumb. This is about control. Let go of control and step into influence. Your power comes from the fluidity of it, not the holding of power over another.

For those keeping track, on June 25^th, Neptune joins Jupiter, Saturn and Pluto in retrograde motion. The rose-colored glasses come off. You get a glimpse of clarity. You may like what you see and you may not. Try not to judge. It is what it is. Accept it, make a plan for taking strides and take action.

At the end of the month, there’s a driving force asking you to step into your future. This is more than the other energetic forces to date this year. It’s almost as if the stars are telling you – now or never. Psst…say YES.

Full Moon: Balance

Details: June 24 Cancer & Capricorn @ 3 ° at 2:40 pm ET

Balance is the goal of this Full Moon. Balance between female and male, inner and outer life, yin and yang, to be or to do. You have intellectual support from Mercury as he’s tiring of his antics and is beautifully helping you right now. Good luck, good news, good fortune is upon you. Does it feel fortunate? That’s the key question. The struggle comes from an intense battle for your right to be the central character of life. If you’ve been standing in this position for a while now, you feel fine. It’s natural for you, so you can deepen your commitment to yourself while beautifully supporting others. If this is new for you, however, you feel a power play for control. Let it go. Seriously. Let. It. Go. You gain more by embracing the nuances of balancing act required of you than you do by pushing others away.

Supportive Intuitive Tools

Tarot: Player – Child of Worlds

With the child card, you’ve mastered setbacks by seeing them as opportunities and are now ready to explore the playfulness of life. You lighten up and say YES to learning with curiosity and wonder. Love the journey by being a perpetual beginner. Be present in the journey, not the destination.

Crystal: Lepidolite

This crystal is an excellent calming and grounding stone. It assists in all spiritual connections – Akashic records, shamanic journeying, cosmic awareness and spiritual exploration. It helps process past life feelings to help remove blockages in the present. Lepidolite balances your mind-body-spirit and reminds you that you are your own soul mate.

Flower essence: Agrimony

Bach flower essence, agrimony, helps you deal with uncertainty as it aligns you with your inner truth. It allows your true feelings to come to the fore by deeming them important enough to have a voice. You’ve been pretending everything is fine, regardless of how you actually feel. Your feelings are important and pretending otherwise undermines them and you. Let agrimony assist in your alignment with your own inner truth.

Bottom Line:

Truth is a perception. What’s true for you, may or may not be true for someone else. Let your definition of truth guide you in your own life without interfering with another’s definition of truth. Let go of judgement, step into alignment with your inner wisdom and allow the opportunities to flow.
