May 2025 Insights
Gratitude and thanks to the west, the direction of pause, of beauty way, and the direction of all that has gone before: our memories, our ancestors, our guides."
~ Message from the Ethers
As we enter May, we are guided by the transformative energies of Sacred Masculine, Elementals, and Right Livelihood. The pace of the year has begun to quicken, and as we approach the middle of the year, we are asked to stand tall in our sovereignty, seek wonder in our relationships, and realign with our purpose in prosperity. The Sun and Elementals—our altar cards for 2025—continue to shine, reminding us to embrace light, magic, and the natural rhythms that surround us.
HEALTH: SACRED MASCULINE
The Sacred Masculine guides your health this month, reminding you to stand tall in your sovereignty and provide safety and protection for your physical and emotional well-being. This is a time to reclaim your strength through movement, activity, and a renewed sense of awareness. Are you setting proper boundaries around your health? Have you allowed others or external pressures to dictate your selfcare? This month, it’s crucial to track your needs, become aware of any privileges you have, and turn those privileges into opportunities for growth and healing. Avoid the traps of blame, shame, or rigidity—these will only block the flow of transformation that wants to occur. This is the time to embody your power and forge a strong, protective structure around your health.
Affirmation: I stand tall in my sovereignty.
Inquiry: How are my boundaries?
RELATIONSHIPS: ELEMENTALS
In matters of the heart, the Elementals card invites you to open your eyes to the magic all around you. This is a time to reconnect with wonder, curiosity, and play
in your relationships. Whether it's with family, friends, or romantic partners, this month is about infusing your connections with lightness and joy. How can you
be more playful in your relationships? Take time to engage with nature, spend time with children, and remember the innocence and beauty that relationships can
bring. The Elementals remind you that life is not meant to be weighed down by skepticism or negativity—relationships flourish when we allow room for spontaneity and joy. Release the belief that there is only one "right way" to connect, and instead, embrace a softer, more open approach.
Affirmation: I see beyond.
Inquiry: How can I be more playful?
PROSPERITY: RIGHT LIVELIHOOD
The Right Livelihood card in prosperity asks you to reconnect with your true purpose this month. There is a reason you are on this planet at this time, and your financial journey should reflect that deeper calling. Are your current efforts aligned with your soul’s mission? This is a time to reflect on what success looks like on your own terms, not by society’s standards or external pressures. Seek out the mentors, reflections, and peer groups that help you stay grounded in your purpose. Avoid the temptation to people-please or lose yourself in competition and games. Instead, focus on knowing the next aligned action step and trust that compensation
and abundance will follow when you stand in the truth of why you are here.
Affirmation: I know why I am here on this planet. I stand in the truth of that knowing, and I am compensated well from that place.
Inquiry: What is success on my terms?
May offers a powerful opportunity to reclaim your strength, find magic in your relationships, and reconnect with your true purpose in prosperity. With the Sacred Masculine guiding your health, you are invited to set strong boundaries, protect your energy, and take action to support your well-being. In your relationships, the Elementals remind you to infuse your connections with wonder, curiosity, and play—trusting that joy and lightness will deepen your bonds. And in matters of prosperity, the Right Livelihood card asks you to realign with your purpose, seeking out the next steps in your soul’s mission and trusting that abundance will follow.
As we near the halfway point of the year, take a moment to reflect on the journey so far. The Sun and Elementals continue to offer their guidance, reminding you to stay connected to the light and magic of the world around you. The solstice is approaching, and with it comes a time to illuminate how far you’ve come and where you’re headed. Let May be a month of standing tall, seeing beyond, and knowing your path.
Journey well. - Lindsay Pera
Passion, sacral energy, and initiative are an unseen seed now but have every intention of growing in our consciousness throughout May. Pluto continues to empower the future by revealing and removing any unjust power dynamics among our people and the collective. The goddess of pleasure and right relationship will receive support from the Lord of the Underworld to strengthen her comfort in positions of leadership and authority, moving through touchpoints of doubt and insecurity only to return to self-knowledge and self-worth with recognition of the value of her unique skills.
A Scorpio full moon opposite Uranus and in supportive alignment with the Nodes of Fate, while Mercury squares Pluto Rx, is sure to break us out of any stubborn resistance to change. Our desire to know where this change leads will be both amplified and thwarted, while our ideas about a slow and secure pace to change will also be challenged and won over by the instinctual need for more bold action.
We’ll naturally pick up speed after authoritative assurances that our risk-taking is appropriate now and will be rewarded with long-term satisfaction. We’ll also receive greater insight about why this radical change is needed and what it has to offer. A total reset to reality is glimpsed and visions of the future get our curiosity peaked as we recharge our batteries for the journey forward. - Katina Castillo
