SAMPLE MONTHLY ARTICLE:
“Astrology is a sophisticated symbolism system which provides a language as to what is happening within Consciousness and tends to activate both sides of the brain. The Overview Article for Monthly Astrological Trends written below provides an energetic landscape of possibilities and probabilities through the month. Through free will and choice, things may shift and alter. Astrological cycles of development and planets or signs do not cause anything, they symbolize patterns and possibilities and will empower individuals towards self-realization as well as evolution“
May 2026 is considered a major “prep” month for what’s coming up ahead in the next three months or so. This is the time to build a strong energetic base that feels somewhat reliable and secure that we can return to when things are lacking stability.
This is a good month to review and reflect on what we have in our life and what we would like to declutter. When you have a solid plan and set priority to the course of action, things will be less overwhelming and more will be accomplished. As the next few months will also bring up a need and laser focus on “letting go” in many ways and areas of life.
There is a strong Spiritual message that letting go of unhealthy attachment to people, places, objects, and most importantly the way of life or lifestyle that pulls you away from our Soul’s potential and alignment is the most optimal path. Either we can do this with willingness and ease or some hefty Cosmic 2X4’s may come a knocking on doors with intense big Soul-lessons for awareness. There is rich potential for successful steps and strong development which may be super empowering.
