May's Energetic Forecast: Maia's Take

In May’s energetic forecast, Maia’s Take, Maia shares that May feels deep. It’s about adulting ( we don’t really like this because who wants to adult?- it’s hard!)

But as Maia explains it’s more about adulting in a calm no drama, slightly boring way. And, you feel accomplished. There is also the message that runs through all of May which is fear isn’t real and everything is fine.

Something becomes clear. Something that has been troubling you or taking your energy.

We also learn that something good is wanting to emerge and come into life but you are afraid of it.

Maia pulls a Tarot card - Futility aka the Seven of swords. She shares the message that your fears have nothing to do with reality. Wake up and see what’s really happening.

Then she pulls another card, the Princess of Wands. This card says your old fears have lost their power over you. They’re dead remains can not frighten you anymore. Reflect on your greatest strengths.

Number 5 - completion, you’re done with one piece. Now it’s time stop and celebrate that win.

And shout out to Jamie the Great whose birthday is May 18!

And the rejection comes up. You are going to realize why the rejection is redirection or protection.

Plus a bonus - Maia asked for a sign and got a Blue Heron which is our symbol for the month.
