May is the Month of Manifestation
The astrology is magical this month for helping you reach your goals
Hi friends! Hope you’re having a good week! May is here and I kind of can’t believe it. But the good news? May’s got some beautiful cosmic energy on its side! Some astrologers are even referring to it as the luckiest month of the year. There really are some “chef’s kiss” vibes in the air and if there was ever a month to do a manifestation ritual or meditation, this month would be a great one!
I am going to put some astrology key dates below that are great for manifestation and I also included an easy ritual to try.
Before we dive into the dates and ritual, I wanted to share with you something exciting! Since May is the month of manifestation I launched a new reading to go along with my other birth chart readings and that is an astro manifestation consultation! And this is available as a full reading and also as a mini reading!
Whether the spiritual approach to manifestation resonates more with you or if you are drawn to the neuroscience behind it (because yes, there’s science to support its effectiveness), the reality is, manifestation is a powerful method to help you reach your goals—whether those be big or small. And astrology and manifestation intertwine beautifully as there are certain cosmic dates and certain placements in your chart that can help you get the most out of your reaching your goals. You can book a reading with me here.
Astrology Key Manifesting Dates for May
To be honest, trying a manifesting ritual anytime during the month of May would be great but here are some cosmic key dates:
May 7th/8th: New moon in Taurus. A great day to “plant some seeds” of intention that you would like to see bloom the rest of the year🌸
May 18th: Sun/Jupiter conjunction in Taurus. About a week before the cosmic fairy godmother, Jupiter, moves to a new sign it conjoins with the sun making a beautiful day for manifestation✨
May 23rd: This day is full of some big-time cosmic magic! There is a full moon in Sagittarius, a Venus/Jupiter conjunction in Taurus, Venus sextiles Neptune, and Jupiter sextiles Neptune, and if you’re not aware of what all of this means it’s basically some really good vibes and a great day to do a manifesting ritual!🕯️
May 25th: Jupiter moves to Gemini. Whenever Jupiter moves to a new sign it’s a great day to do a manifesting ritual and also see where Jupiter occupies in your birth chart to discover your cosmic theme will be for this transit♊️
And again if you’re really looking to dive into how all this beautiful cosmic energy is going to impact you based on your specific birth chart that is an amazing thing to explore with a reading this month and you can book a reading with me here.
Manifesting Ritual
Here is an easy manifesting ritual to try! To do this manifesting ritual, you’ll need to find a quiet space. You’ll also need a journal or a piece of paper and a pen or pencil, just something to write down your intentions if you’d like.
It’s also great to set the mood for the ritual by setting your space. Setting your space is not required but it can help to set the tone, mainly because it can help ground you and bring your attention to the present moment.
Setting your space can be as simple as doing things like lighting a few candles, dimming the lights, turning on some soothing music or nature sounds, brewing some herbal tea, all of those are great options that can help you feel calm, relaxed, and connected to yourself and the ritual you are about to perform.
Some good crystals to work with during the ritual are black obsidian which symbolizes self-reflection and cleansing and clear quartz which symbolizes healing and manifestation.
But I do want to let you know where you do the ritual as well as whether or not you set or cleanse your space will not affect your outcome when performing this ritual. So if you don’t have access to crystals, candles, etc, no need to worry about it at all!
Close your eyes and take a few deep breaths and once you feel calm and relaxed in your body, think on what kind of intentions you want to set, and they can be whatever you would like them to be. They can be career goals, they can be self-care goals, they can be relationship goals, whatever you want to focus on for your intentions is completely up to you, and they can be as small or big as you want.
Once you’re ready, write down your intentions on a piece of paper or in a journal or notebook. Now, take a moment to visualize your intentions coming to pass.
Think about how it would feel to see them happen, and focus on the satisfying feelings and sensations that come up.
And when you are ready, repeat the following affirmations:
I am attracting the kind of energy I want in my life.
I am capable of reaching my goals.
Abundance is my birthright. Joy is my birthright. Peace is my birthright. Love is my birthright.
I am worthy of good things.
When you are ready, take a few more deep breaths and close the ritual and carry that motivation with you as you take the steps towards your the intentions and watch them bloom.
Hope you have a great month and sending you so much love and good energy today and always!! Happy May!
