Powerful Pluto begins the month by going retrograde in Aquarius, where it will remain until October 11th.
This represents a period of introspection, personal growth, and social renewal. During this time, we are given the opportunity to examine societal norms and power systems. It's a chance to dismantle dysfunctional hierarchies. This may require addressing issues of inequality and control on an interpersonal and global level.
May is commonly referred to as the fifth month. But May's collective numerology for 2024 is 4, which stands for justice, fulfillment, and stability.
The following also resonates with the energy of the number 4:
expressing individuality and trust in oneself
laying the groundwork for the future with empowering energies
mental balance, patience, trust, peace and perseverance
focusing on completion, honesty, stability and security, and a pragmatic approach
In May, you might find crystals associated with introspection, growth, and renewal particularly beneficial. Some crystals often connected with these energies include:
Malachite: This vibrant green stone is associated with transformation and positive change. It's often used for clearing energy blockages and promoting spiritual growth.
Lapis Lazuli: This deep blue crystal is associated with wisdom, intuition, and mental clarity. It can help you maintain a balanced perspective during challenging times, enhancing mental clarity and inner peace. Lapis lazuli is also believed to stimulate self-awareness and encourage self-expression, which can be essential for maintaining perseverance.
Moonstone: Moonstone is associated with the energy of the moon and is believed to facilitate emotional healing, intuition, and new beginnings. It can help you navigate transitions with grace and bring a sense of renewal to your personal and social life. Moonstone also fosters empathy and understanding, making it beneficial for enhancing interpersonal relationships.
When working with crystals for mental balance, growth and renewal, it's essential to establish a regular practice that includes cleansing, charging, and programming your crystals with your intentions. You can carry them with you, meditate with them, or place them in your environment to benefit from their supportive energies.
Additionally, this month offers inspiration from the higher worlds and unconditional love to achieve spiritual enlightenment and liberation for everyone especially for individuals who have been depleted or barely hanging on. It gives you a better idea of what self-mastery actually entails, which is the willingness to maintain self-regulation in whatever situation arises and the intentional planning out of your goals to build a foundation of stability and positive changes.
