DAILY SPIRIT ANIMAL
CROW SPIRIT

As you look around you, can you sense the magic that pulses through the world? Have you witnessed how every thought can become a thing? How every intention can call the universe into action as the sacred laws shape what you experience? The universe works in perfect order.

When you align your thoughts, feelings, and beliefs with Spirit, you will want to crow with delight, feeling the excitement and wonder of being in harmony with something much larger than yourself.

Crow Spirit says you are right on target now to see your dreams magically come into being in the visible world. The laws of Abundance, Compensation, Frequency, and Praise are operating in your favor now. Remember to be grateful and praise what is yours, even if it is still coalescing into form, still residing in the invisible realms of co-creation.

No matter what area of your life you’re concerned with now, what you hope for is on its way—for Spirit is your co-creation partner.


DAILY TAROT CARD
V. FIVE OF SWORDS

Swords represent the Air signs: Gemini, Libra, Aquarius

The key meaning of the Five of Swords card is conflict, tension and a sense of loss. It could signify the need to make a change in perspective, to avoid being overwhelmed by stress. Sometimes it can show that you are too hard on yourself and need to give yourself encouraging affirmations when you hear a negative thought in your mind.

It represents struggles within us as well as with others. We should meet these situations with courage and reflection, confronting what needs confronting and letting go of what doesn’t serve us. Doing this will lead to change for the betterment of oneself.
In some cases, there is no way to resolve a conflict or situation. When this happens, you need to move forward and exit the situation with your dignity and integrity intact.


MAY 2023 LUNAR CALENDAR

FRIDAY, MAY 18: NEW MOON IN TAURUS Your safety depends on the need for stability, which is not easy to satisfy now. You have to learn to accept change as part of your life. The basic problem is finding your own self-respect in order to ensure that you do not mistakenly seek it in material things. When you accept yourself for who you are, it will become easier for you to find peace and tranquility in the outside world.

SATURDAY, MAY 27: FIRST QUARTER MOON IN VIRGO Your feeling of safety is now related to order and clarity, even in emotions. You may have the need to organize everything chaotic and disorganized. Try being more tolerant and accepting the imperfections of life. It is better to trust life and let it run its own way, not everything must be according to our expectations.


MAY 2023 ASTROLOGICAL CALENDAR

MAY 19 — NEW MOON IN TAURUS

Career ambitions are at an all-time high during this full moon as we’re all encouraged to make plans that will help us in the long run. Plant the seeds from business goals to romance, and watch them grow throughout the lunar cycle. Nurture them well.

MAY 20 — MARS ENTERS LEO

Summer starts a little early as Mars in Leo brings the heat over the next several weeks. With the planet of drive in the bold Lion, our actions become glamorous, generous, and pretty dramatic. A word of advice: don’t start fights you can’t finish. 

MAY 20 — MARS IN LEO OPPOSITION PLUTO IN AQUARIUS

This moody aspect may make it hard for everyone to get along today. Avoid the crowds and do your own thing. 

MAY 21 — SUN ENTERS GEMINI

We’re all given the gift of gab over the next four weeks, when the sun shines in the sign of the Twins. As we transition from spring to summer, this is an ideal time to learn to adapt to new situations, ask plenty of questions, and finally make a decision!

MAY 21 — SUN IN GEMINI TRINE PLUTO IN AQUARIUS

This is a good connection to do some research, as we’ll be struck by questions that could keep us up at night. This aspect brings out our inner detective to investigate the truth of deeper issues.

MAY 21 — SUN IN GEMINI SEXTILE MARS IN LEO

This aspect gives a major boost of self-confidence, as we feel we are the star of the show. However, be careful not to be so competitive, as it can drive us to bite off more than we can chew. 

MAY 22 — MARS IN LEO SQUARES JUPITER IN TAURUS

Fights start easily during this stubborn aspect as everyone believes they are right. Old grudges can come back to the surface, too. Don’t engage with people who just want to cause problems on purpose.

MAY 26 — VENUS IN CANCER SEXTILE URANUS IN TAURUS

A great aspect for success in both love and money as you make your home a safe haven for your loved ones. 

MAY 28 — SUN IN GEMINI SQUARE SATURN IN PISCES

This lazy aspect won’t keep you busy with work but will allow you to have fun with your friends or get lost in a good book.
