As we step into May 2025, the cosmos invites us into a powerful dance of introspection, renewal, and soulful expansion. This is a month where the inner landscapes mirror the outer shifts, and we are asked to move with deep intentionality and trust.
The Themes of May: Alignment, Heart Wisdom, and Sacred BreakthroughsMay carries a profound energy of realignment.
After months of inner work and external striving, the universe now urges us to pause, to recalibrate, and to remember what truly matters.
The question echoes through the stars:
"Are you living in harmony with your soul's deepest truth?"
Expect moments of revelation, especially around relationships, self-worth, and life direction. What is not rooted in authenticity may gently — or suddenly — fall away. Let it.
This month, surrender is not a defeat; it is a return to your own sacred path.
