Mood of the Month - May 2020
A month of sudden changes, breakthroughs, and insight. It’ll be like being on a rollercoaster so expect the unexpected.
We begin the month with the Sun firmly in Taurus, so the emphasis is firmly on the body, health, finances and security. It’ll be a bit stop-start but the undercurrent is moving us in the right direction and helping us to adjust our focus. Many of us have experienced a period where we’ve had an opportunity to think about changing our lives to give us more meaning and depth. However, some of us may be feeling a bit trapped by having to go back to the old job, the old responsibilities. Think on this: “OK, so I have to go back to my old job at the moment but who do I want to be when I’m there?” How can I respond to my former way of life in a new way? What adjustments and changes can I make so that I am more fulfilled.
The Full Moon in Scorpio on the 7th is there to help us transform our world. Our priorities will become more sharply honed. We are realising that our value is not in what we do but who we are. If you were one of these people who felt unvalidated without the status of your job title, this is your opportunity to discover your true value. This Full Moon will release power to help bring about positive change.
There is a new collective purpose on the horizon, encouraging self-expression and freedom of speech but in a kinder, lighter vein. We’re all in this global predicament where we have to accept each others’ truths. How are we going to sustain the new positive discoveries that we’ve made and not go back to tried, tested but destructive ways.
Most interesting of all is the movement of the North Node from Taurus to Gemini which represents our soul’s purpose in this lifetime. Why are we here on this planet at this time and facing such an unprecedented crisis. Crisis means ‘freeing experience’, let’s not creep back into our former prison of safe pain and bad habits.
There’s a lot of feminine energy this month softening our brittle and rigid edges and encouraging us to think laterally and act tenderly towards others and ourselves.
The Sun entering Gemini on the 21st and the New Moon in Gemini on the 22nd help by bringing a lighter, more loving and fun energy to the world which will enable us to deal with the challenges we still have to face.
Always start your day by focusing on the positive, evolving foundation of your life; the kindness of others, the positive collectiveness of the human race, the planet healing; the life enhancing insights you’ve made about yourself, your growing inner strength. Focus on all you’ve attempted and achieved that would never have been on your radar prior to lockdown. Keep believing in yourself and the goodness of others. Most of all, look forward to more positive change coming in the Summer.
Finally, use the next few months to make a solid plan for how you want to be; what decisions you want to make and what goals you want to set for the next phase of this journey. Be hopeful and embrace the unexpected with confidence.
