May doesn’t ask you to start over.
It asks you to get honest.
To finish what’s no longer aligned.
To cut cords with what drains your life force.
To stop pretending something still works when it doesn’t.
And then?
To pivot—fiercely, tenderly, and deliberately—toward what does.
We’re still in the charge of RISE UP, the energy theme for 2025. This isn’t about being busy or productive. It’s about courageous, conscious claiming—of your time, your truth, your trajectory.
This is a month to strip away what’s in the way of your real path.
To name the thing that’s been calling you quietly.
To say no to what dulls your fire—and yes to what stirs your soul.
Completion Isn’t an Ending. It’s a Power Move.
There’s strength in finishing.
Not the tidy kind.
The truthful kind.
This is the month to complete what no longer serves the person you are becoming.
To close the loop. Break the cycle. Choose a new direction.
Don’t carry dead weight into June.
Clear space now for what’s waiting to grow.
What You Leave Behind Makes Room for What’s Real
This isn’t about discarding everything. It’s about discerning.
- What’s outdated?
- What feels like someone else’s dream?
- What did you outgrow while trying to hold it all together?
That’s what wants to be released.
Not with shame—but with respect for the part of you that kept going.
And Yes—Be Kind to Yourself
This part matters.
It’s easy to judge past choices.
To wish we’d moved sooner.
To carry shame for staying too long or choosing too small.
But here’s the truth:
You made those choices with the tools you had then.And now? You have more.
More strength.
More clarity.
More self-trust.
Forgive yourself.
Thank the earlier version of you who got you here.
And then rise—not with regret, but with reverence.
May Is a Pivot Point
This is a turning month—not a gentle one.
Not chaotic either.
It’s sharp. Focused.
A disruptor. A refiner. A clarifier.
You may feel restless.
You may feel bold.
You may feel the ache of something wanting to emerge.
Good.
Let it stir.
Let it guide the choices you make now.
Because June is coming—and with it, the spark of secret wishes, the pull of your heart’s deeper desires.
And May is what clears the path.
