Energy forecast for May 2024

Here's a look at the energy of May, plus three stones that can help you be at peace with yourself, feel more empowered, and find the path of flow.

For many, the solar eclipse on April 8 was a peak experience. Even if you did not have the chance to see the eclipse itself, you likely felt its effects on the pattern of energy around you and perhaps in your own life.

That's certainly true for me. In the weeks leading up to the eclipse, I experienced powerful, insightful meditative journeys. A particularly clear and informative dream ushered in the day of the eclipse. The day after the eclipse, I awoke to a different relationship with myself. I felt washed clean, revived, and ready to tackle things I had been avoiding for years.

And this, my friends, is the energy of May. With thanks to the guides and the Andromedans*, here's a look at the weeks to come, including three stones that can help you make peace with yourself, feel more empowered, and find the path of flow.

Hello, what can we expect from the energy of May?

Vigor. Action. Surprise. In May, the swirling energy you've been experiencing for the last several months begins to coalesce and take on direction. It's a month in which people may begin to look at things in new ways. Events may move quickly, and you could be surprised by news that seems to come from nowhere.

Is there anything special we should look for?

Look for a few bolts out of the blue. Energy is building to a crescendo on your national stage. Look for people to change their minds, their opinions, or the way they do business. It may even be a time in which leaders are more willing to work across the aisle than previously seemed possible.

I saw a kind of spike in the energy landscape of May. Can you tell me what that is about?

The chaotic, twisting energy of the last several months is starting to align, and there is a lot of power behind that action. If the energy stays on track, there is the potential for a substantial surprise.

How will the energy of May affect our personal lives?

The eclipse did a wonderful job of sweeping out those things that needed to be released. And when you release something, it makes space for something new. There is room in this month—and energy behind it—to support new thinking patterns. And so, this is a time in which you could begin to change your mind about some things. You may look differently at your relationships, or at decisions you are making.

Can you tell me why rutilated quartz wanted to help us today?

Rutilated quartz is transformation in crystal form. It is the shedding of light upon the things you need to know but are not paying attention to. These also are the energies of May: transformation and light.

How can we work with the energy of the month?

Consider wearing, carrying, or meditating with any of these three stones. Use your intuition to choose the right one in the moment.

• Feel good about yourself with rutilated quartz. A stone of unity and transformation, rutilated quartz helps you to understand the many different aspects of your character—from dark to light—and to accept them all. In short, this stone helps you to love yourself as a whole being.

• Find the path of flow with blue ocean jasper. Also called the "Atlantis Stone," ocean jasper (particularly blue ocean jasper) carries the energy of water. As a result, this stone can help you to move through life's ups and downs with courage and grace.

• Feel powerful and confident with black tourmaline. Black tourmaline promotes a sense of empowerment, making it a good choice for those who live or work in challenging environments or who are facing difficult circumstances.

Is there anything else you'd like us to know?

The churning energy of the last several months has been a challenge to integrate, we know. In the weeks to come, it may grow easier for you to keep your eyes on the horizon and your feet on the ground. We are with you. We love you.

* If you are new here, welcome. The Andromedans are a group consciousness that has asked to provide the kind of information that "sheds light, heals hearts, and provides hope." While they have given me the name "Light Heals" as a way to identify them, for simplicity's sake, I merely use the term "the Andromedans." We collaborate on monthly energy forecasts and, sometimes, additional posts.
