Wednesday, May 1st:
Wednesdays are always ruled by Mercury and today Mercury is at 17 Aries. This means your communication is incredibly powerful. With Mercury still in shadow it’s possible to be assertive without being aggressive. The numerology adds up to 8, the number of power and control.
There is no greater control you have than over the words that come out of your mouth. We have the Moon in Aquarius today, making a sextile to Mars, and a square to Uranus. Venus is also squaring off with Pluto.
The Moon in Aquarius can be a bit cold and detached. You could feel this way, or others around you could. But the idea is to detach in healthy ways. I believe this is possible with the sextile to Mars in Aries. It’s as if the emotional aspect of what we say and do is being considered.
While the facts do not care about your feelings, their feelings aren’t going to care about your facts. Your relationships may be rocky today, but there is the possibility to communicate in new and exciting ways. Take a bird’s eye view, and understand that patience is absolutely a virtue.
If your goal is to be right, or for some sort of immediate and easy gratification then the first of May could be more difficult for you. Use today to heal wounds related to self-worth, love, and money. Is the current tribe you’re surrounded by reflective of self-respect? ❤
~~~~~~~~
Thursday, May 2nd:
Today we have the Moon still in Aquarius, meaning there is this ability to detach from our personal feelings, and do what is best for all. The Moon will square Jupiter before moving into Pisces, where she will sextile Venus in Taurus, and Pluto stations Rx.
Thursdays are ruled by Jupiter, so today we are ruled by Jupiter at 24 degrees Taurus. It’s a great day to consider how we can expand the safety, security, and resources for all. We are feeling more empathetic as the day goes on, and there is help and agreement.
The numerology adds up to 6. The number of harmony and reciprocity. We are being asked to consider if our current tribe offers that, and are we offering it in return. Love, harmony, connection. If we want it there is something we must expand. Mindset, healing, whatever it is.
As for Pluto, look to where Aquarius is for you. Whatever house that is there have been things exposed that need to be transformed. This Rx is giving you a chance to address what has already been shown. In six months, when he stations direct, we will be shown more.
Don’t bite off more than you can chew. ❤
~~~~~~~~
Friday, May 3rd:
Today we are ruled by Venus at 5 degrees Taurus. So indulge a bit. Mars in Aries will sextile Pluto in Aquarius. And the Moon in Pisces will join Saturn. Spend time with someone you’re deeply committed to.
Great energy for a date night, a friend date, some sort of enjoyment. We are able to make big power moves from an emotionally mature space. That which has taken place already is now wanting you to take action on it. Great day to do some manifestation work.
Well-regulated endurance, stamina, honesty, vitality, clarity are here. If you want the next level you must transform and leave this level behind. With the Moon conjunct Saturn we are able to make emotionally mature decisions, even if they are difficult and painful.
The numerology is five. Change, liberation, fun, and freedom. One astrologer I watch labeled this week as work hard, play hard. If you want a life of ease get rid of what is in your control making it hard.
~~~~~~~~
Saturday, May 4th:
Saturdays belong to Saturn, so today is ruled by Saturn at 16 degrees Pisces. The numerology is 7, so perhaps you want to be a bit introspective today. I would say it’s a beautiful day to do a manifestation ritual. The Moon has now passed Saturn, but is still in Pisces sextile Jupiter in Taurus.
She will dance with Neptune before moving to Aries and joining Mars. Such a great day to tap into your higher consciousness and act as if. I want to say that whatever you sit in today will come to fruition quickly. Going within is what aligns you with your next action or move.
It’s a day to be responsible for your inner world. For the dreams you want to manifest. It takes discipline of an emotional nature with Saturn in Pisces. It takes inner cultivation. Become who you say you are. ❤
~~~~~~~~
Sunday, May 5th:
Today is ruled by the Sun at 15 Taurus. So we are back at the six numerology here. You want to align with whatever lights up your spirit and soul. With what actually fulfills you. If it isn’t reciprocal it has to go.
You’re not fighting for bare minimum any longer. The Moon is in Aries, so our emotions are tied to our destiny and we find something worth fighting for, but why fight for the same thing and expect a different result?
As the Moon aligns with the North Node and Mercury we are ready to talk about something new. To go after something different. To fight for our personal destiny over someone’s insistence that we remain the same. Today is a day to talk about big things, big dreams, big plans.
It can be a bit overwhelming, a little anxiety inducing, so use the whole week to sit in manifestation of your worthiness. To become who you say you are, so you can accept what you deserve. ❤

Pile Reveal:
Below you will find the message that the universe has for you this May of 2024. I hope it resonates and is exactly what you need. Keep an open mind and heart as you scroll and take it all in. ❤
Pile 1:
This month you’re meant to embrace change. You struggle when old structures are torn down, even when they are for your benefit. But you have to work on trusting the universe has your back. The old has to go before the new can come in. Learning to trust is the theme.
Whatever treasure you’ve been trying to manifest is begging to come forward this month. You have worked so hard. It’s time to have unwavering faith, or to understand when it waivers you can choose to get it back. Some of the golden opportunities coming your way will be obvious. Others may not. They may come through the settling of dust.
You have choices and those choices have consequences. Even not choosing is a choice. This month I want you to ask before every decision if that is the higher path decision. Because feelings won’t suddenly change. You take the right action and then the right feelings will follow.
There is definitely something that needs to be communicated this month. You have to take ownership and trust in divine order. There is a legacy and empire at stake. The only thing standing between you and that legacy is your own lack mindset. Trust there are alternative forms of resources, and that you may be overlooking treasures.
This month get aligned emotionally. You are generous, diplomatic, and fair, but make sure you’re being those things to yourself, too. You take better care of others when you learn to take care of yourself. You can’t meet everyone else’s needs while no one is meeting yours, regardless of how natural it feels or how tempting it is.
The only thing standing in the way of your manifestation is you. You’re longing for this sense of home and belonging, but fitting in will never feel like belonging. It’s time to make a leap into a new timeline. ❤
~~~~~~~~
Pile 2:
As we enter May the advice is to chop wood, carry water. To ground yourself in the present, everyday experience. There is something you’ve been dealing with for a long time that is ending. A story you’ve told yourself, a relationship that is going nowhere, some sort of situation that has been a big part of your life is moving out of your life.
See the beauty in that. See the divine orchestration of alignment. When it feels like too much take a time-out. Rest and remind yourself that being cracked open is the best space to be. When you’re cracked open it lets the light in. Things are happening FOR you, not TO you.
There is a message coming in this month that is a bit romanticized. This heightened awareness and call to really learn to love yourself. I see reciprocity arriving. There are unexpected resources coming in for you, and this isn’t small stuff. It’s legacy and empire worthy.
In fact, you may find yourself overwhelmed at the opportunities before you as the month grows longer. There are co-creative abilities unleashed. You’re feeling confident and headstrong. Determined for new adventures. And there is some sort of long-awaited victory coming in for you.
You’re an ever unfolding rose. This month you’re learning to see everything as a chance to be who you say you are. And there is a request for you to rest as you’re able and to ground into the present moment. ❤
~~~~~~~~
Pile 3:
This month brings in a huge perspective shift for you. It’s as if life feels brand new. You’re being called to shift your perspective on purpose. In order to have this new life you must release the old one. You live with a constant sense of loss. You may often feel abandoned, but you’re not.
May is you learning not all doors are meant to be opened. Not all relationships are good for you. Not all love is meant to be expressed. There could be a sense of rejection this month, but your call is to remember that often rejection is a form of divine protection.
You’re not being abandoned. You’re being freed. There is a sense of individuality in you that is dying to be expressed. So just say yes. Let transformation in. There is a way to get creative and honor the differences in those around you. Embrace a practical approach.
You are trustworthy and grounded. Someone may come to you this month asking for help, or with a small offer that doesn’t seem like much at the time. But trust it. It’s a new beginning that is going to grow into something prosperous and alive. It leads to an abundant future.
May brings in a rite of passage you’ve either been waiting on, or were not expecting. But say yes, yes, yes. Release the old. Embrace the new. ❤
~~~~~~~~
Pile 4:
In May you’re going to find it hard to rest. You may be incredibly busy, but you’re being guided to make time for meditation and grounding. There are days I am so busy I don’t know how to make time either, but I do. It may be ten or twenty minutes at a time, but I use those minutes wisely.
When you feel burnout starting to settle in go outside. Take a walk in nature. Dance and sing. Do something to shift your energy. It’s best to learn how to go with the flow. Understand that not everything is smooth sailing, but you can sail smoothly through it all.
Be in the flow, return to source, notice the patterns. You have an incredibly loyal heart that is going through a complete rebirth in May. Who and what you’re loyal to is subject to change. You have deceived yourself long enough that if you just be a good person to everyone they will one day recognize you. You’re being divinely guided to step away.
You’re not alone. Ancient ancestors are beside you. It’s a month where the ability you have to be fair and generous comes in handy. I think someone is going to offer you a new way forward. There is a bit of mystery behind it. You may feel cautious and uncertain because it’s asking you to uproot some long-standing structure in your life, but go for it.
The wheel turns for you this month. Will you step into the next level? This is a month to get so serious about your calling. And part of that calling is learning how to mother and nurture yourself. ❤
~~~~~~~~
Pile 5:
May is a month to release expectations. To surrender to things looking different than you imagined. It is not a month to spend wallowing over the past or fearing the future. It’s very important this month that you live in the present moment. Take the lessons of the past, and use those in the present moment. That’s how you create the future.
Spend as much time as you can in nature this month. Your confidence is given a boost. You’re done dimming your own light to try and fit in. You’re ready to be seen, to be true to yourself, and to be happy. I see you being spirited and headstrong. There may be some creative collaborations.
It does seem like this hint of nostalgia is eating at you this month, and when that happens take a rest. Allow yourself to feel your way through it. You may have to spend some time in healing and meditation in May. There is a legacy you’re looking to create, and it can’t be created by the past.
Any tension and conflict you experience can be dealt with maturely. I honestly see you healing conflict within yourself this month. A month of releasing soul patterns and karmic contracts. This is your time. The world needs you and what you have to offer.
Will you trust fall into the abundant future promised, or falter into fears from past experiences that are no longer relevant to your life? ❤
