Seasonal Insights
Beltane
Beltane on May 1st kicks off the season of power celebrating the height of spring. It’s the high point of the transition from winter to summer. Its historical significance is to shed the dark and dread of winter and reveal the light of spring. Pagan ceremonies included the lighting of fires as both cleanser and creator. Astrologically this date hits in the sign of Taurus which is a fertile and earthly energy.
May Day is another celebratory ritual with maidens dancing around the May pole to herald the festival of planting, growing and harvesting. This day is designed to protect the upcoming harvest.
During each season, you can leverage the zodiac energy, elemental force and earthly rhythms to boost your chances for success.
Season of Power:Your growth is evident in the world. The power you express makes impact to all who come into your sphere of influence. This is a fiery yang time that requires you to push beyond yourself and your intimate circles. This is an outward, expansive and visible season. It’s about connections, outreach and sales first and foremost. This is the time for you to show up, early and often, so respecting your natural tendencies is imperative. You want to be wary of burning through your energy, commitment and resources. Honor your yin side by taking breaks, vacations and spending time in relaxation.
The Season of Power saves you from yourself and this power-filled fiery energy infuses magic through connective webbing. You shine. You bask. You create bounty through your brilliance, your visibility and your connections. Having witness to your offerings breathes in new life and new energy. The sharing of them creates something different from what you originally thought.
Season of Power uses fire to create the largest expansion in energies at the apex of the year with the solstice in June. Fire is inspirational to generate momentum to ensure the strategy that was set in the prior season is fulfilled. This is an excellent season to connect with others, flex your genius and create your platforms or stages. This is a great time for speaking, selling experiences and launching series to highlight your gifts.

Big Star Events: (in chronological order)
May 2: Pluto Retrograde: Discover Your Hidden Worth
Mercury Retrograde in Aquarius May 2 at 1:47 pm ET @ 2.6°
You felt Pluto retrograde in Aquarius last year for the first time. Can you remember what Pluto asked of you? Pluto wants you to love yourself unconditionally and when in retrograde stirs up all of your insecurities, mistakes and foibles for you to remember and heal. You’re perfectly imperfect and Pluto wants you to know that no matter what, you are loved. Knowing this helps when dealing with others, because this is also a time to fully understand your power and to realize how others around you are using theirs (for or against you). Power plays, hidden agendas and secret lore is a fascination. Focus on you and let the drama around you fall away. Pluto stations direct on October 11th @ Capricorn 29°.
May 4: Mars Sextile Pluto: Drive to Achieve Your Goals
Aries Mars sextile Aquarius Pluto May 4 at 8:06 am ET @ 2.6°
Mars excites Pluto every year, so what’s the big deal with this star configuration? The last time Mars excited Pluto in the Aries/Aquarius combination could only have happened about 250 years ago as this was the last time Pluto was in Aquarius.
Given the New Era portal opening on the solstice in 2020, huge energetic impulses between the God of War (Mars) and the God of Hell (Pluto) in Aquarius are significant.
You have endurance, intense and almost ruthless energy to achieve your goals for creating your new future. Your stamina and drive to make you perfectly aligned along your physical, emotional, mental and spiritual bodies. This is a rare treat and one you don’t want to ignore. There’s also the opportunity to heal your connection with others through conversation and opening your mind to their opinions. Forthright debate and honest communication could bring communities together or argumentative posturing and deception can further separate them.
May23: Jupiter Sextile Neptune: Embrace Growth
Taurus Jupiter sextile Pisces Neptune @ 29° May 23 at 5:43 pm ET
Jupiter and Neptune do an elegant dance every 14-years when they meet to boost your ability to integrate your spiritual energies with your practical success. They met again in 2022 to push you until 2035, but with the Pluto in the center of the stars this year, it’s important to also note their ending meet-up throughout 2020 to complete their prior cycle.
Do you remember the boost you got in 2009? Were you prompted to initiate something new to reach for your full potential? Did you find it easy or hard to become spiritual in daily life?
This is what I wrote in my 2020 monthly blogs when Jupiter stimulates Neptune at the end of the last 14-year cycle which began in 2009, “In February, July and October, you come into a sense of flow and smooth sailing. This is a glass half-full instead of half-empty scenario and with everything else going on this year, it’s one of the only supportive star angles. Yum! This is a time of optimism, faith and idealism. Even without the rose-colored glasses, you can see hope in your future.”
When the new cycle begins between Jupiter and Neptune, they meet up for a perfect kiss on April 12, 2022. This is the first waxing step in a 14-year cycle that ends in 2035. I wrote, “Hang on tight because the biggest star event of 2022 happens this week as Jupiter and Neptune meet for big impact. The possibilities these two planets bring to the table are bountiful- acceptance, inclusion, broadened perspective, increased awareness, imagination, creativity and love. Unfortunately, these possibilities may feel difficult to bring to fruition, especially if you’re not standing firmly in your core values or leaning into your intuition. When you’re not connected to yourself, this energy blasts you with delusion, distraction and escapist forces.”
So, Jupiter and Neptune excite each other once again, creating the first burst of energy since their new-cycle meeting in 2022. You find your place in the world when you embrace growth and optimism, but only when you put steps and supports in place to actively increase your connections, link your mind with your heart and say YES to the new.
May25: Jupiter enters Gemini: Stop Limiting Beliefs
Jupiter enters Gemini @ 0° May 25 at 11:14 pm ET
Jupiter moves into a new sign every year, carving a path through the zodiac every 12 years. The last time Jupiter was in Gemini was June 2012. Jupiter is a fiery energy that ignites when in the Gemini air sign. Jupiter expands everything it touches and when in Gemini, it’s all about your mind. Your mental abilities grow, shifting perspectives and opening your mind to the new. You become less attached to limiting beliefs and see possibility everywhere.
You’re curious, flexible, social and intellectually stimulated. You want to take courses, read books and talk to experts. You tend toward speaking, writing, teaching and presenting. Your world becomes more and more ‘mental.’ Under the expanding Jupiter influence, any mental health issues also grow.
In this star configuration, Pluto supports Jupiter and gives you insights into your unique definition of success. You feel at home with yourself in ways you haven’t to date.
Star Power
Week 1: Assimilate Feminine & Masculine Energies
This week intertwines the feminine and masculine by starting with a soft and dreamy influence as the star energies dance between the feminine of Venus and the masculine of Mars in their own signs.
As Venus moves into Taurus, her own sign, Mars moves into Aries, his own sign. The feminine becomes more amplified while the masculine gets stronger. When you lean into Mars, this is a time for doing, not being. When you lean into Venus, it’s the time to lie back and wait for the world to come to you.
Your best bet?
Flow between these two energies.
As Venus enters Taurus on April 29th, the Goddess of Love enters one of her own signs and in Taurus, she adores the ease of getting along with others, falling in love and staying loyal in relationships. She loves the easy and the charming. She appreciates everything romantic and sensorial. She’s also indulgent and a wee bit lazy. She doesn’t want to stir up drama or dive too deeply into the complicated.
She’s a wonderful family and friendly influence as she yearns for material gods and luxurious items. Venus loves money and she’s excellent at attracting it. Yes, she loves money, but doesn’t want to strain herself having to work for it. She looks for partners to do the work for her or opportunities that fall easily into her hands. Venus will be in Taurus until May 23rd, when she enters Gemini.
As Mars enters Aries on April 30th, your energy gets a boost, giving you ample enough to roll up your sleeves and accomplish your to-do list or set about achieving your goals. When you lean into Mars, this is a time for doing, not being. Mars gifts you with courage to take bold moves and bravely face your fears. He asks you to lead your life the way you initially intended. He wants you to shed what others want you to do and be, so you can use this time that he’s in his own sign to tackle the things you put off otherwise. Mars will be in Aries until July 12th, when he enters Taurus.
At the end of the week, Pluto gets involved driving you to fortify your relationships with yourself, others and money. When the relationship is shaky, this star blend cracks the foundation to bring power and control issues to the surface. When this relationship is solid, the intensity reveals the depth of love to the beloved and cherishing levels. Think in terms of soul mate. This is soul-level stuff.
You’re gifted with the drive and tenacity to realize what was initiated in 2020.
Week 2: Get Serious About Your Success
This week is a great time to problem solve, deal with serious issues or manage complex tasks. You are filled with duties and responsibilities and expressions of leadership. Your work ethic and ability to commit to yourself and others is at an all-time high. Good health and nutrition is part of your success equation this week as is caregiving and lending support to yourself and others.
On the world stage, supply chains and food sources are being challenged, however ideas and innovations come to the fore while shining the light on these issues to finally fix them.
Week 3: Good Luck Creates Success
Embrace new ways of doing things and fresh perspectives to take care of yourself while seeking your fame and fortune. Overcome your fears by facing them head on and taking action to move through them. Build structures and systems for your creations, get serious and deal with problems and say yes to opportunities for meeting new people and welcoming different situations. The end of the week brings good luck and success no matter your actions.
Week 4: Success is here!
As the Sun moves into Gemini on the 20th, Venus on the 23rd and Jupiter follows on the 25th, you feel uplifted and filled with energy to strive for your goals. You have the power over your life to transform what isn’t working to something that can work for you. It’s a good time to solve problems, come up with new ideas and see the big picture.
You meet new people and seek varied and interesting relationships as well as creative pursuits and financial connections. Things come easily to you right now – sales, creations and connections.
You desire to get in front of the camera and bussing for those you adore. It’s also a great time to improve your image and style, so have fun.
In Gemini, Venus gets flirty and fun and fickle. In relationships, Venus wants more than what she currently has. She seeks distraction and fun, easy and shallow connections. She wants to shred anything serious or committed. She seeks discovery and exploration just for the fun of it. She wants to break commitments and contracts. While Pluto enters to make everything imperative, intense and deep. This is soul-level stuff.
As long as you don’t succumb to the busyness, distractions and mind games, this is an excellent time to deal with everything love, success and money.
Week 5: Great Connections.
This is an excellent time for business connections, contracts and negotiations. Inform your audience about new discoveries, inventions or methods. It’s also a time for new inventions, scientific discoveries, innovative original and eccentric ideas.
The elite and the average differences are amplified in terms of food availability and nutrition access. There are possible power struggles between the haves and the have nots.

- The New Moon is for setting your strategy.

It’s time to create the world you want to live in, not in the future, but right now. Getting your mind to accept the very best outcome isn’t something it is designed to be able to do. Your mind always protects you and prepares you for the worst, but what if your mind can be programmed to allow your highest potential? The truth is your mind can accomplish this when it’s combined with your intuition. This is where genius lives.

MAY MAGICAL TOOLS
The oracle cards bring insight into what’s coming for the month. They give your mind something to focus on and remember as you go through the days and weeks. You can ponder the card or go into the guidance in the book when you need more than mental reminders.
The power of animal and crystal energy are easy to employ to help you create the success and satisfaction you desire. Spirit animals are always willing to assist. Simply call on the animal to bring it into focus and ponder its meaning.
For crystals, grab the crystal and put it on your desk, purse or kitchen table. You want to align with your success and this month’s stone helps you do that.
For flower essences, put 3 drops into water 3 times a day and feel the gentle support for your body and emotions.
May Oracle Card: #5 Open
Follow the wisdom of your heart by observing what comes to you out of the blue or by expressing gratitude for all of the abundance in your life already. Either way helps you open your heart.
Your heart has so many things it wants to tell you. Will you listen to it? Quiet your thoughts and drop into your heart. Listen carefully to its prompting. Open yourself up to your heart. It wants to lead you to your very best life.
Use these two tips to help you open your heart:
- Place your hands over your heart and breath into your heart space for a few quiet moments. Feel your heart’s energy and ask it what it wants to tell you. Open and feel. Do this as many times as it takes for you to hear your heart’s whispers.
- Say you need a minute when someone asks you for something. Take a deep breath, connect to your heart and then respond. Your heart knows the truth – let it lead you.
Spirit Animal: Bee
Bee represents your commitment to success while enjoying the sweetness of life. You’re thriving, industrious and capable, yet deliver succor to the world. You work well independently, but also as part of a team.
Call on bee when you need cooperation from others to complete a task, desire tact and diplomacy or want to be in service to the world. Bee was the spirit animal of 2020 and this month feeds back to your aspirations of 2020.
Crystal: Amazonite
Amazonite is a natural healer, soothing nervous energy and enhancing love. It acts a filter in the environment, helps maintain optimum health and releases negative energy. This stone also provides good luck, fortune and overall success. It facilitates constructive expression so it’s a good stone for musicians and writers.
This crystal balances feminine and masculine energies, so is an excellent stone for these times. Amazonite supports self-determination and bestows honesty, truth and integrity. It gives the wearer clarity, compassion and psychic support.
Amazonite is sometimes known as Amazon Stone, is a feldspar and typically found in Brazil. This crystal acts like jade or turquoise.
Core crystal of 2024. In April, rose quartz was also the edge crystal of the year.
Flower Essence: Cerato
Cerato is the Intuition flower for the Third Eye chakra. The soul lesson for Gemini is to listen to your own inner wisdom, trusting your intuition and instincts more than you trust your logical mind.
Taking Cerato encourages greater communication with your Higher Self and the ability to trust and follow your own guidance. It brings out self-trust, reliance on intuition and knowledge so supports our ability for discernment. This was the flower essence of 2021 to interface the past with the future, the practical and the magical and the feminine with the masculine.
INTUITIVE SUCCESS SIGNATURE FORECASTS
Following my success-making Do You Know, Like and Trust Yourself ® methodology, tap into the energies of your Intuitive Success Signature for the best results this month. If you haven’t taken the quiz yet, here’s the link.
Wise Strategist
Here’s a wobble when you stay in your comfort zone of linear thinking and actions. Instead have fun, act out. Do something unexpected. Allow yourself to ask questions and sit it them without finding immediate answers. The key is to dance with creative flow.
Intuitive Visionary
Yes to the yes to the yes. But, do your creative world-building based on older solutions, offerings and ideas. This isn’t the time for new inventions, it’s the time to revisit, refine and offer older ones. With new solutions, you’ll actually lose audience. With older ones, you gain clients, making more sales and creating deeply loyal followers.
Collaborative Explorer
Reach out to others, at least 2, and coordinate a great outreach campaign with each of them for the month. Define how each of you work with each other’s audiences getting specific on results, value and effort. With the details ironed out clearly, you can grow your business seamlessly. It’s a win-win-win.
Ruling Warrior
Be the role model you were born to be. You’re a natural, yet reluctant leader when it moves beyond your products and services. Yet, being the benevolent advisor or guide creates connections, opportunities and growth you won’t get any other way.
Creative Superstar
This is your month. It’s creation time, but remember is also about community. Pulling away to create out of whole cloth makes you miss opportunities. Creating within your network draws people closer to you and brings sales upon sales. You can ripple this effect within your own sphere to deepen people’s investment with you.
Loving Alchemist
This month is perfect for you with the right stage that you’ve built over the last few months. You and your channels are created to bring people in and your audience is primed to do just that. Connect often this month. It’s a good time for LIVE events, challenges, experiences or workshops. Sell from the stage.
BOTTOM LINE
You are the God or the Goddess of your world. You get to create it the way you want it to be. Say a great big Yes to your highest potential!
Thank you for reading & sharing with family and friends.
