Heart Energy Grounding, A New Wave of Awakened Seekers Emerging and The Gift of Loss

The main themes that came up for May are:

• HEART ENERGY GROUNDING
• A WHOLE NEW WAVE OF AWAKENED SEEKERS BEGINNING TO EMERGE
• THE GIFT OF LOSS
• HAPPINESS IS PEACE

The Energy Update for May is really interesting, because two seemingly contradictory pieces of information came through:

1. The period of April to August 2019 is very accelerated, with everything happening a lot faster than usual.
2. There is an enormous amount of peace and heart energy accompanying it.

Often when we go through these accelerated periods, there can be all kinds of turbulence and reactions to the fast changes. But during this period of May to August, an enormous amount of HEART and PEACE energy is also hitting the planet. It’s really getting strong and will become evident for you in the next few months. Firstly, you’ll start seeing and feeling this in yourself (feeling more in your heart and in peace more often) but perhaps more importantly than that, you’re going to see it happening outside you too.

A WHOLE NEW WAVE OF AWAKENED SEEKERS EMERGING

One of the reasons for this is that these coming months will be a huge period for people awakening. There is a whole new wave of people waking up to the vastness of life – not just the small kind of life that we’ve often been trained into thinking – but waking up to the idea of energy and the Universe. And that’s affecting everyone differently. Not everybody becomes highly spiritually focused, but people are waking up and becoming very alive in themselves and realising there’s more to life than they thought there was. It is happening faster than ever right now and you’re going to see it happening at an increased rate this next four months. That is what will contribute to the heart energy.

Heart energy is going to show up in an interesting and very specific way. Something that came to me was the need for encouragement to LEAN IN to conversations where previously you may have stepped away from them. Often people who are intuitive, highly psychic, empathic or sensitive can go through a period of learning to keep quiet. Because it’s easier not to throw something into a conversation that may trigger a reaction or need an explanation or upset the balance at the dinner table or gathering of friends.

The message is that more and more people are now ready to have these kinds of conversations. This doesn’t necessarily mean they all want your psychic information (because we know that psychic information that isn’t requested or warranted or comes from a source that is the person’s own ego, is not necessarily the most helpful thing). But instead, I’m referring to the emotionally open conversations where you might talk a little bit more about your feelings, or invite or hold space for somebody else to share what’s going on in their inner world.

People’s feelings are much closer to the surface than they have ever been – that’s a worldwide truth. It doesn’t mean everybody is going to have an emotionally literate conversation with you, but it does mean that everybody is feeling more deeply and a little more alive than they have been in past decades. Although you might occasionally be surprised by what people will say to you, don’t be afraid to take an extra step with your words or actions towards someone that you feel might need a little bit of extra support or extra love. It could even be someone in your life who is usually quite negative or often stressing or worrying about life. You may have learnt to keep your mouth shut because whenever you previously tried to give them some love or support, they pushed back on you or defended their story. It’s worth testing some new communication levels with those people as in many cases, you will be surprised that they are more receptive now.

HEART ENERGY GROUNDING

The veil and the wall against emotion is breaking down for most people, which is why many will be a little more receptive to your love, your support and your compassion. So, when we talk about HEART ENERGY GROUNDING at an all new level over the next few months and you very much feeling it, it’s going to mean that you can have more heartfelt conversations with people. But if you’re feeling, “Oh god Lee, everyone around me is just horrible to me, mean to me, nobody wants to talk to me” then you really need to look at the people you are surrounding yourself with and also perhaps try to step back and ask:

• What am I being shown?
• What am I being taught?

Where people are really toxic and only mean toward you, you will want to distance yourself, but if you’re just not connecting with people generally, you’re either not finding the right people to connect with or you might want to look more deeply at what else is happening. We all have our different wounds from life and relationships and sometimes we create behaviours that alienate people even though we say that our desire is to connect with them. Because when we have wounds from childhood or other times where we felt like we were abandoned, alienated or rejected by people, we can run these unconscious patterns in our behaviour that will recreate the situation. So it’s worth investigating that if this resonates for you.

But for most of you, if you’re wishing you could have more heartfelt conversations with people – stop wishing and start making it happen! We can all either find the people in our life with whom we can exchange those conversations or we can make little changes to where we’re going and the way we are speaking and initiating in order to open up new possibilities in our existing relationships.

Heart energy is so important right now. The heart is an incredible energy that you have inside you – one that we can share with each other and one that provides a sanctuary from the current craziness in the world. Little acts of love and heart are really powerful at the moment and you never know what that smile sent to a stranger will do for them. We all know how wonderful it is when someone does that for us when we are having a bit of disconnect or a challenge in our life – if somebody smiles at us, it can just release something inside us. So if you’re walking down the street and you see somebody who looks a bit down or serious (and if you have moved past your fear of possible rejection), you can smile at them. They might not smile back at you. They might even look at you with suspicion. But it doesn’t matter because you don’t mind how they react – you just wanted to send them some love and a smile (not go over there and hug them which would invade their personal space!).

The energy of heart is going to be very present and if you are not finding it enough then keep looking for it! It’s there, it’s an incredibly strong energy between all of us and one that can really help people connect, stay afloat and build for the future in the years to come. As we know, anything that is being built now and in the coming years – whether you’re a parent, running a business or trying to create something new in the world – if the endeavor doesn’t contain enough heart energy, it’s going to become destructive very quickly. And if you’re in a relationship with someone (a loving relationship or just a friendship) and there isn’t enough heart showing up, the relationship is going to lose steam until you address this.

HUGE UPGRADE AROUND THE HEART

The gift is that if and where heart energy is present, there are breakthroughs to be had. We are always healing, moving and growing – that’s part of our path as human beings. But many of you (especially those of you who feel like you go through healing very intensely) may find that the healing phase of the next few months will get a lot easier the more you learn to align yourself with good people, good places, good energy and good forces. Because this heart energy is very strong. Think of it like a pyramid over the Earth and right now, it’s really glowing. How it will show up will be very much evident in your relationships and your way of moving through the world.

If you’re wishing there was more heart energy in your business enterprise or in a relationship, you might need to do a little investigating to see if you need to find that energy elsewhere. Put more heart into the relationship and see how they respond – and if they don’t respond well, go and find someone else to generate heart with. It doesn’t necessarily mean you need to leave that person, but it does mean you should see if you can find some other people who are as receptive to that energy as you. This will show you the truth – that you are capable of running this energy and it wasn’t just you responsible alone for it not really working. There’s a BIG UPGRADE around the heart going on right now which is really important to play and experiment with.

THE GIFT OF LOSS

The Gift of Loss is a theme that came through strongly this month (and is applicable mainly to a smaller group). You might be experiencing a loss of people, places or things and (understandably) totally consumed by your feelings of loss and the message is to also look at what ‘gift’ could be accompanying or following that loss. So a good thing to do is to change your focus and ask yourself, “If there was a gift or a reason for this, what would it be?” and then open yourself to the possibilities of that.

The energy of this next few months is going to be very LOVING, FORGIVING and FAST HEALING. That’s really characteristic of this period – really loving, strong, healing energy that will make healing a lot easier. So, if you’re processing loss right now, it doesn’t mean you don’t grieve or you don’t have those moments of grief but if your mind is panicking about what you have lost and telling you horror stories about it, see if you can connect with what this loss is actually teaching you and showing you. It can be really helpful to sit down with a pen and paper and write down your thoughts. So if you’re feeling a little stuck right now, if there’s something you’re resisting or something that’s bothering you, you can just write:

“If this is teaching me something, what is it?”

And then clear your mind for a second and let yourself write what comes through. Often, your higher mind, (your over soul – however you identify with that higher source of wisdom we can all tap into) will give you an answer and just expand your way of feeling. Loss is a big thing this last few years and has also been going on as a planetary wave for a while. So we can either become attached to what we’re losing and panic about it, or we could say, “Well I’m losing this but there’s also something over here that I’m being asked to move into, engage with, look at and interact with.”

HAPPINESS IS PEACE

The final piece that came up was, HAPPINESS IS PEACE. That was literally given to me as a sentence right before I started this message – Happiness is Peace. Within this healing wave, this heart wave, there was a strong message about peace and the ability to ground peace and ground heart. So the more you can invite moments of happiness into your life – whether it’s turning off the phone and just sitting quietly meditating, being around peaceful people or doing peaceful activities – the currency of happiness is going to be found in peace a lot, and for more people than ever before.

Cultivating peace and presence is going to be easier than it’s been for a long time over the next few months. So anything that you can do that focuses you on peace – experiencing peace or creating peace, will be well supported. It might be tidying up your house and clearing out those cupboards. It can find us in such strange ways but it really works when you focus and intend to bring more stillness into your life. And you’ll discover that PEACE IS FUEL. Making sure you have moments of peace is like remembering to put gas in the tank of the car – so the car will keep going.

The more you can access that balance, the more positive energy you’re going to generate that will make you more magnetic to others and give you a feeling of well-being which is so important. We all need to do our bit in these times – help where we can, engage with activism (for some people that will mean social activism, for others it will mean being the activist in their personal life, their group). But one of the things that I am called to remind us all of is the importance of self-care because the energies are quite strong now for sensitives.

So to conclude, this is a really interesting period we’re coming into because although it’s very accelerated, it’s also very grounded, peaceful and very strong in heart energy. So with everything else that goes on around us, there will be this solidity.

Some of you might feel yourself in real resistance to that or it may be kicking up last bits of healing around you, but more of you are going to feel yourself in that grounded, peaceful heart energy, giving yourself peace and love and the experience of heart on Earth.

Have a grounded and peaceful May everyone!

Big love

Welcome to May, a month of madness, mayhem, and miracles which everyone will experience according to what’s going on in their energy field and on their life path. We have some big things happening this month at the collective level, the culmination of the work we have been doing all year. So if things start happening in your life and you experience mayhem instead of miracles, take a good look at what you have really been asking for because the energy is moving quickly now and manifestation works according to our deepest, often hidden intentions. Buckle up, keep your hands and feet in the car and enjoy the ride, the roller coast has started.

If you have ever been on a roller coaster, what is the first thing that happens? It goes up the first hill. They don’t usually start on a hill and go down, they start at the bottom of the hill and go up. The upward climb was what we experienced in April and all of that work was preparation for what is going to happen in May, a wild, hair raising turn around the ascension spiral as we wind up a significant ascension aspect and get ready for phase 2.

2019 is a year of preparation for the big Saturn/Pluto conjunction in Capricorn in 2020. Now Saturn and Pluto have been conjunct before but not in Capricorn. In 1982 it was in Libra, in Leo in 1947, and 1914 to 1915 it was in Gemini and Cancer. The Pluto/Saturn conjunction cycle occurs every 28-32 years and always brings about important global changes and awakenings in humanity.

Pluto in Capricorn is particularly transformative. When was the US declaration of Independence signed? When Pluto was previously in Capricorn from 1762-1778. When did Martin Luther nail his 95 theses to the door of the Wittenburg Cathedral in protest of the catholic church’s corruption? In 1516, when the previous Pluto/Saturn conjunction in Capricorn occurred.

What is happening around the world right now with the yellow vests (gilets jaunes) global movement, Brexit, the ‘drain the swamp’ movement in US politics, and the clamor for the end of cabal hegemony and globalism around the world? It’s all aligned with the global changing of the guard so to speak, as we move from the church rule of 1516 to the monarchs of 1776 to the corporate hegemony of today. This Pluto/Saturn conjunction in Capricorn is an end of a very long cycle of the 3D paradigm which is marked by control, domination, competition, and power over people. Now we can usher in the 5D paradigm and its energies of collaboration, connection, cooperation, and compassion.

What does May have in store for you, miracles, madness, or mayhem? It depends on where you are in your path, how much you resist transformation, and what you’re willing to surrender to, or allow, in terms of grace, ease, and congruent harmonious energy flow. If you have been resisting transformation it may take a little madness and mayhem to allow you to see the train wreck in front of you and make some changes. If you have been working steadily towards your 3D/5D integration and really want to test our your power, try creating a few miracles.

And if you’re dedicated to this ascension cycle, have been doing all of the hard work and heavy lifting for the past 10 to 20 years, you may be in for a big dose of the ‘big easy’ with congruence, harmony, and flow.

Remember that everyone’s path and lessons are different and we all move through any energy cycle at our own rate but the energy gaps are bigger now and I think that we will be seeing the difference between those who are actively participating with the light and those who are working against it. There may be some big truths revealed this month too – and if not this month then within the next 2 months. These may be a bit tough for nearly everyone, so don’t be too quick to judge. The world is not as it seems and as I have said for a while, I always believed that the Men in Black movies were documentaries, not works of fiction.

May has a new moon on the 6th in Taurus and a full moon at 27 Scorpio on May 18, which reminds me of the very long and challenging retrograde we had with Saturn at the final degrees of Scorpio in 2015. Expect to see some blasts from the past and remember they are usually related to your healing cycles and karma release.

All of the large planets are in or near retrograde now and by July, they will all be retro which may throw a little bit of a damper on the summer months but that will clear up by the end of the year. Retrogrades always bless us with opportunities to review the past and consider another round of release work.

May’s theme is ‘miracles, mayhem, and mastery’ and taking action aligned with our intentions, all  within the theme of the 3D/5D ascension integration path we are still following. This is not a 50 yard dash, though, think more of a cha cha – front step, back step, side step, cha cha cha.  Once you get the steps right, and avoid trying to rush forward and not remember to enjoy the dance, you’ll develop your own rhythm.

And we still have strong aspects with transformational Pluto and disciplinarian Saturn in the mix, which are there to remind us that the past is gone and we need to face forward. While we may regret what did not work out the way we wanted, there is always a new dawn, a new day, new potentials, and a fresh start.

How will that play out in your life? It depends on how far you are willing to allow transformation. If you are willing to go all out, then expect big results. If not, your results will reflect how far out of your comfort zone you are willing to go. But don’t worry, this show is not over yet and you can grab the opportunity on the next replay.

On a societal scale, we are seeing the results of the gaps between awareness and understanding create a lot of rifts between people. While new truths are out there for all to see, how much ‘new truth’ someone can accept depends on their level of understanding. The idea of our unlimited potential, being masterful creators, multi-dimensionality, and intergalactic connections is just too much for some people who just want to go home, put their feet up and watch the next episode of Wheel of Fortune with the ageless Pat Sajak and Vanna white.

Globally this month has much promise, depending on which side of the light you are on. Those who have been planning and orchestrating humanity’s destruction for centuries are failing quickly which will cause them to redouble their efforts as they become more desperate. The bright light here is so many people are waking up and are ready to see and integrate new truths about everything. The dis-integrating 3D paradigms are now so opened up that very little of the ‘old’ realities are relevant today. And that is a good thing.

There has been too much suffering, pain, trauma, limitation, and domination and control in the world. The agendas of war, murder, theft, and manipulation are something we no longer want. But for us to integrate the 5D energy into 3D we need to be self-aware, self-determined, and self-empowered and that’s what the energy of May is all about. So surrender to the transformation, let your bygones go on by, set your course for the peace, joy, love, and prosperity you want for yourself and extend that for all of humanity. And let’s see what we kind of new world we can create together. Have a wonderful month.

Message for May 2019

Change is a constant in life. Sometimes we embrace it wholeheartedly and other times we resist it with every atom in our being. Occasionally we fight it, only to realise how positive it has been, and there are times when the opposite happens. We don’t live with the benefit of hindsight, so our response to change can only either be in the moment or retrospective when we look back. We may try to predict change on the path ahead, but none of us can know what lies around the next corner.

Yet, welcome it or resist it, it happens all the same. Although it’s inevitable, we often hope we can find a way to master change in order to shape and define the pathways we walk. Even though we intuitively know we can’t wield such control, it doesn’t stop us trying all the same – we are complex conundrums at times! It’s inherently human to want to master the ebb and flow of the tides, and we’re unlikely to ever stop trying, yet, there is a sense that we also need to learn the art of graceful acceptance in order to find a deeper level of peace within our hearts and souls.

There are times in our lives when we feel as though we are stuck in a cycle, going round and round, repeating the same mistakes, owning the same beliefs and not sensing any significant change when the cycle starts over again. Obviously this frustrates us, and it can leave us feeling as though we are in a kind of evolutionary stasis where we can struggle to see a way forwards. Yet, the fact we are even looking for a way forward is a sign we have made progress as we are no longer blindly walking around in circles. However, we want more than awareness, we want to see, and feel, change; we want to know that we are on the path from where we are to where we want to be.

Our eagerness to evolve and change can sometimes accelerate our evolution in ways beyond our imagination as pushing too hard, too soon, can crack the cocoon before it’s ready to hatch. A butterfly will only emerge when the times right, after all. The cocoon seems an apt description, as we are all reaching a new stage of evolution, one where we begin to unify more succinctly on all levels.  It seems important for us to acknowledge the roles we play in our own destiny, to own our choices and to look within for answers (as we so often look externally). The more centred we become, the more likely we will step more consciously into each and every moment.

We are in the midst of a profound period of change, and many souls are spiralling wildly feeling lost, alone, confused and bewildered. Some of us are riding the whirlwinds with slightly less spin, allowing us to condense and distil the experiences into wisdom and knowledge. It therefore seems important for each of us (when possible) to reach out to others, to offer support, love and compassion, and to realise that whilst each of us will be experiencing these shifts differently, we are all part of the universal whole. It is our willingness to reach out, and to love, that ultimately shapes and defines us, as it’s a sign that we have finally broken out of the cocoon and stepped into a space of love and balance. Of course, we will all continue to be spun around by the whirlwinds of life as that’s a part of being alive, but we will be wiser, stronger and ever more compassionate.  What defines us isn’t where we’ve been or what we aspire to be, but how we shine in this moment…

For now, I wish you all kinds of wonderful.

With love,

Sarah-Jane

Aries

♈

There seems to be something of an inner rebellion going on with you at the current time; a sense of one part of you pulling against the other. These two ‘sides’ seem to be non-linear, moveable parts, which never stay the same for long, making it hard to articulate and define the essence of this rebellion, but essentially it seems you are exploring ways to incorporate your free-spirited essence with your slightly more logical and structured side. This is no mean feat! Your free-spirit has always needed some breathing space, so being tied to the same old routine feels like being tethered in a prison cell. At times, this has been deeply challenging for you as you have also worked hard to create an ordered and structured life, one where you have clearly defined goals, and one where you are able to succinctly and concisely measure the level of your successes (and failures), as nebulousness really irks you.

So, how can you bring together these two forces when, on the surface, they seem so very different? Well, in many ways you already have brought them together as you’ve been living with them both for quite some time! Yet, there’s a sense of some friction between these two forces, a bit like a dog living with a cat, they don’t like each other, but they tolerate it. You want more than toleration; you need integration and harmony. It therefore seems important to find a way to achieve a deeper sense of peace between the two sides of your soul, as they are part of the same coin. There is no instruction manual that goes with this process, just a willingness on your part to love all aspects of yourself and to realise that they are not opposing forces, they actually work together perfectly. Just set them free…

Taurus

♉

As you continue to give your dreams and goals some much needed breathing space by allowing them to naturally grow and flourish as an integral part of your life, there is a sense you are beginning to see your life less from a perspective of dealing with never-ending challenges, but more from a perspective of compassion and tranquillity. Whilst this may not sound very vibrant or dynamic, there is a sense that you are weary of the dialogue you’ve created that sees you as one of life’s fighters, pushing on, battling away, climbing up those mountains, and always being prepared for the challenges ahead. This dialogue has hard edges and it leaves you feeling embattled, giving you little room to breathe, create and thrive. Of course, life can be a battle ground, but when your perspective feeds into this, it can be difficult to see beyond this in order to cultivate an aura of calm, creativity and compassion.

May looks set to be a month for you to step back a little in order to re-shape and re-define the ways in which you see both yourself and your life. You are a vibrant and intuitive soul, and the time has come for you to embrace this wholeheartedly now in order to shift your life from where you are to where you want to be. Whilst you may not exactly know where you want to be, you have a good idea of what needs to change in your life, and this is a good place to start. You have spent so long trying to be everything to everyone and trying to battle through each day, and it’s time now to realise that it’s fine to put down the armour and find a new way of living your life as you are ready for a more peaceful and joyful path ahead…

Gemini

♊

Life is full of moments, and moments of moments. Most of these moments are pedestrian, run of the mill moments that you don’t even notice, and there are some that stand out for a host of different reasons. Yet, all moments are equal in terms of the journey of your life, as they have all come together to make you the person you are today. This isn’t to say that some moments haven’t shaped and defined you, carving out features on the many different levels of your soul, but the other, pedestrian moments, are no less important as they are the glue that holds everything else together. It’s easy to become defined by those individual moments of pain, glory, power, grief and otherwise that take centre stage in your heart and soul, but these are not the full story of you. It’s wise to remember this now as you are embarking on a journey towards self-discovery throughout May; you are beginning to realise that the bigger picture of your life is where your focus needs to be rather than on the minutiae and intricacies of individual moments.

This isn’t to say that you should ignore the past, but it’s important not to let it define the present as you are far more than the sum of your past experiences. Of course, it’s often difficult to remember this when you are spinning around in a whirlwind of moments, many of which are clashing and colliding together, but when you take a deep breath, the whirlwind settles and you once again regain a sense of perspective. Part of the path of living consciously is to ride with the whirlwind and to realise that it’s not a force to fight, but a force to love. Love yourself and love your many parts; you are imperfectly perfect exactly as you are…

Cancer

♋

You have spent a great deal of your time focusing hard on keeping on keeping on, trying to keep the wheels on the great big bus of your life rolling even though you can see nuts, bolts and the odd wheel rolling down the hill around you. It may feel as though everything is falling apart and the carefully constructed life you’ve created is changing shape and form. Whilst your life is changing shape and form, it’s important to realise that it always does this as that’s a part of being alive. It seems clear you are currently going through a major transformation and you are facing the depths of your soul in ways you never thought possible. Big decisions may need to be made but, more importantly, take some time out for yourself as you are not the only one riding the big bus, so let others step up and take some of the strain. Nuts and bolts fall away all the time, and you are a master mechanic, keeping things tip top, but the cost of this is a lessening of your sense of self-worth, a feeling that you give so much to the rolling wheels, that you’ve lost yourself in the process.

May looks set to be a month where you ask yourself what you truly want in your life. Are you happy? Are you listening to your own needs? This isn’t about ignoring the needs of others, but it is about listening to what you truly and wholeheartedly want. This is your time; an opportunity to redefine the essence of you. This is exciting, and if bits of the bus continue to fall away, then maybe that’s because it’s time to find a new form of transportation? Use your imagination and your phenomenal intuition, and let them lead the way…

Leo

♌

As you continue to find ways of expressing your inner roar and passion, there is a sense that you are beginning to seek out ways of expanding the ‘you time’ in your life. You spend so much of your time trying to be everything to everyone else, with things to do, people to see and places to go, that you can end up never having the time to do things for yourself. It’s not that you outwardly neglect yourself, but there is a sense that you often gloss over that inner roar when you’re distracted with so many things to do, be and see. Your roar needs the space to flourish and thrive as it’s your life force and your true essence; if it becomes trapped or stifled, your colour fades, and you lose some of your effervescence and passion. Your roar is a central part of your soul, it’s that thread that weaves everything else together to make you, you.

Your roar is your way of expressing your colour, vitality and vibrancy, so it’s really important that you find ways of letting it flow freely. In the past, you may have felt your roar was inappropriate in life as it could be loud and big, and this may have led to challenges and difficulties, but your roar isn’t brash or pig-headed, it’s simply a powerful reflection of your true nature and it’s something to love and be proud of. Although Leo has a reputation for being loud and colourful, your colours are vibrant, but subtle. In fact, much of the loudness comes from trying to be everything to everyone else. Just realise that there is still plenty of room for you to pick up your brush and make your mark; this is your time to create a brand-new way of living and being..

Virgo

♍

As you embrace the winds of change which continue to gather momentum within your heart and soul, there is a sense you are beginning to feel a sense of connection with the swirling winds as they begin to carve out a new pathway in your life. As yet, you are not quite sure where this pathway is heading, but you seem content with this uncertainty as your focus is in the here and now, watching the winds swirling around and gazing in awe as they carve out new shapes and forms. You have always been observant, and your abilities to see the finer details in life have allowed you to explore so much. At the same time though, you have also found yourself lost in the details, unable to see the bigger picture, and it can be hard knowing you’re in a forest when all you can see is the tiny piece of bark you have under your microscope. Whilst you will always be a details person, don’t forget that you are also a bigger picture person as well.

Fine details need context in order for you to make sense of them. So, step back to see the tree, the forest, the continent, the planet, the solar system, the universe. Use your intuitive prowess to discover new terrain within your heart and soul in order to ride those winds of change with courage and confidence. Whilst you have no idea where these winds will take you, enjoy the ride and try to stop clinging on so tightly as you move from fear to peace. May looks set to be a month for re-discovering your true nature and realising that there is plenty of room for fun and breathing space amongst the finer details. Just remember, this is your life, so live it well…

Libra

♎

‘The day came when the risk to remain tight in a bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom’. Risk by Anaïs Nin has come to represent something quite powerful for Libra recently, a sense of being on the verge of bursting forth renewed and reinvigorated, but feeling held back by the safety of the knowable darkness of the bud. You have reached a kind of critical mass; a time where staying as you are feels untenable even though you know that stepping into new terrain feels unknowable, unpredictable and incomprehensible. Yet, despite this, you intuitively know that you have to move forward as it’s time to burst free and bloom.

You have spent a great deal of your life hovering on the periphery of here and there. In many ways, this is something we all do as we are always in between here and there as that’s called life, yet, you feel this very deeply and you have struggled to feel at peace with hovering as you intuitively know that whilst you are slowly moving towards the horizon marked ‘there’, you are holding back slightly, feeling the safety of being in bud, of being wrapped up and cocooned. There are a myriad of reasons as to why being a bud has captivated you for so long, but you are ready now to set yourself free in order to stride towards pastures new. Living on the periphery has been tiring as you have been stuck between here and there, not quite committing to either, and the time has come for you to grab hold of your life with both hands and to face the risk of blossoming head on; it’s time to be a flower. No one knows what lies around the next corner, but you won’t find out unless you look…

Scorpio

As you continue to let go of the distractions and clutter in your life, there is a sense you are beginning to breathe more deeply into the nooks and crannies left behind. For the first time in quite a while it seems as though you are able to fully inhale and exhale, and enjoy the moments in between where you are doing neither one nor the other. Space is a wonderful concept, but try not to be too keen to fill it back up again as space doesn’t mean empty. Space can fulfil an important role in its’ own right as it allows you to spend a little bit more time in that gap where you are doing nothing other than being in the moment. It’s easy to see why you would want to fill the space as you’re used to being busy in life with a plethora of things to do, people to see and places to go, and there’s a sense of trepidation with the concept of space that it may mean you end up looking at the bottom of your soul, that place you so rarely get to see.

This trepidation is only natural as it’s unfamiliar territory, but it’s not necessarily a place you should fear to tread, it’s a part of you after all. The trepidation comes from a sense that you don’t know the true sense of what lies within you, and as a mysteriously deep individual, you assume your depths will be arduous and sticky. However, creating space doesn’t mean you need to wallow in your depths, it just allows them some room to breathe. This is a time in your life to find ways of loving yourself; leaning into the space will help you realise that your inner world is one of peace…

‘Life is like a box of chocolates…’ is a phrase you’re all too familiar with. You take delight in not being too sure ‘what you’re going to get’ as you’re a spontaneous, free-spirited soul. Yet, there is a sense that whilst you accept your free-spirited nature, you don’t quite embrace it wholeheartedly. Life is like a box of chocolates, but you know the chocolates you love and the ones that quite frankly shouldn’t make it into the box. You also love the chocolatier and their unique flavour combinations, something you’d never find in a box. At the same time, a slab of Dairy Milk also goes down quite well. In other words, a box of chocolates doesn’t really cut the mustard for you as you need the freedom to live beyond the box and to eat whatever chocolate you fancy. Of course, moving beyond the chocolate analogy, it seems clear that you need freedom in your life to go ‘off box’ to follow your heart and soul.

You don’t really like diving into a box of chocolates not knowing what you’re going to get as you need some reassurance that it will be something you’ll like! So, a free-spirit, but one with a clearly driven sense of what’s acceptable and what’s not as you like far more clarity than you’d often think. Yes, you’re okay with spontaneity and the unknown, but as long as it’s an unknown you’ll like! There’s nothing wrong with this, but it’s important to acknowledge your true needs and wants as you’ve reached a time in your life to focus on eating the chocolates you love rather than tentatively biting into loads concerned that you’ll get something hideous. In other words, live life by what you want, not by what you don’t…

May looks set to be a month of transformation and revelation as you continue to shake yourself free from aspects of your life that have been weighing you down. In your quest to live more wholeheartedly, there is a sense that you are beginning to realise just how much you compromise your own sense of self when it comes to others. As a result, you have started to wriggle free from areas of your life that have, over time, started to deplete you rather than nourish you. Some of this has come as a surprise to you as the dynamics have changed slowly over time and you haven’t noticed the shift. However, now you’re becoming more aware, you are keen to create some much-needed breathing space in order to fully contemplate your path ahead. It’s important to enjoy this breathing space, rather than rushing ahead towards new projects and goals as you really do need some rest and time to replenish your sense of self.

You have been the person you thought you ought to be for so long that the person you really are has got lost underneath and it will take a little time to acclimatise to the real you re-surfacing. At the same time, although you are letting go of a great deal, you are also realising just how deeply some of these ‘oughts’ have grown into the fabric of your being. Yet, just because it looks complex to untangle doesn’t mean you can’t untangle it. Step back a little to regain some perspective and you’ll see a way. Self-belief is one of your strengths, and whilst it may get lost in the mêlée at times, take a moment to re-centre and realise that this transformation looks set to catapult you towards your dreams…

Aquarius

Your energy levels have felt out of kilter lately, as though you’re oscillating between energy states. As yet, you haven’t been able to pinpoint the exact cause of this. It’s a bit like being in the stagnant, airless space moments before a thunderstorm in hot, humid weather. As the storm grows closer, the air gets thicker and thicker until the storm crashes in, breaks the heat and balance is restored once again. In those moments after the storm, the air feels clear and fresh, birds start singing and the world feels amazing. You’re oscillating between the moments before the storm and after. Whilst it’s hard going at times, there is plenty for you to work with. Of course, it can be hard to feel enthusiastic about circling storms as this suggests tumultuous times ahead. Well, possibly, but not necessarily. Storms are not just about devastation and challenge they are also times for renewal and letting go.

You have been on a journey of release over recent months and this has taken you into some deep, dark territory within your heart and soul. You have faced your depths and walked through the storms in order to find a deeper sense of peace. Storms rage within you all the time, as your mind and soul whiz around at a million miles an hour. It’s hard for anyone other than you to keep up with you as you are on fast forward, and simply don’t live at the same pace as others. As a result, you are on the leading edge of life, and experience things that few could even comprehend. This means you feel the shifts more deeply than others, but it also allows you to walk through life lightly, shedding distractions and clutter as you go. This is a time to release and be free…

Pisces

♓

You’re amazing. Believe it. Those words ended your last forecast and they seem just as relevant in May as they were in April, if not more so. You are very good at giving yourself a hard time for not being enough, doing enough, achieving enough or saying enough. You always feel you ‘could do better’ and rarely feel happy or contented with your efforts and achievements. You have grown so used to feeling somehow ‘less than’ that it has become a part of your everyday belief system. This needs to change. Right now! You are kind, loving, giving, generous and you really are amazing; it’s time to start believing in this now. Yes, there is always an opportunity to do things better or differently, but to constantly berate yourself for not doing more only leads to a life of lack as nothing is ever good enough. Now this isn’t to say you should stop striding towards your dreams or learning from any ‘mistakes’, this is more of a forceful nudge in the ribs to remind you to love yourself more. It’s time to start offering some of that gentleness, loving and generosity to yourself.

May looks set to be a month of a deepening of the connection within your heart and soul, a willingness to become one with the ebb and flow of life. This makes it even more important for you to open up to loving yourself wholeheartedly (warts and all), as without self-love and self-compassion, how can you truly find peace? You are intuitive and wise, so listen to your heart and soul, and let this inner wisdom guide you forwards. Start letting go of the resistance within and start believing just how amazing you are. This isn’t about ego, it’s about self-love. So, take a deep breath, honour yourself, let go and let love…
