The merry month of May 2026 started with a full moon on the 1 st , and some tough
angles early this week, but gets in the flow by Mother’s Day with one of the luckiest
alignments of the month. I’m so happy to announce on a website that caters to mothers
around the country and the world: Ladies – this year Mother’s Day will be extra sweet!
Beneficial alignments continue with a supermoon in Taurus mid-month and a Mercury
Kazimi a few days prior. Allow the lightness of the atmosphere inspire you to plan a few
summer getaways, host a playgroup outdoors, or set some fun goals for summer. As
with all new moons, it’s a great time plant seeds and cultivate what you want to grow.
Every month we repeat this pattern, tending to what was previously planted as well.
This is how we create abundance in our lives, by working with the cycles to keep
everything in rotation so there’s never an opportunity for our gardens to go fallow.
The latter part of the month features a mixed bag of alignments with the Sun, a tough
angle with Pluto, our planet of deep transformation, and caps off with a full moon. This
is all to say, be prepared for a little bit of everything. I know this chimes with the end of
the school year for many. While it’s a relief for some, it also can be chaotic as we adjust
to summer schedules. Don’t worry, you’ll get there.
This is a good time to practice pause and lower the bar a little bit. Parenthood is intense
enough, and it’s far more so when the world continues to shift. Allow the cosmos to
churn while you embrace the lightness of life. Focus on where you want to be in your
heart and mind by mid-summer. There’s more change on the horizon, but it’s intended
to empower us by reminding us we already possess everything we need to build lives
we love. Get out to the beach, jam with your kids, and lean into all the good feeling the
warm weather brings. May is lighter and brighter than April, and you should be, too!
