May Energetics - Moon, Flower, Crystal and Essential Oils

May Energetics - Full Moon, Flower, Crystal and Essential Oils

Once again I'm happy to share some information about the May Energetics - Full Moon, Flower, Crystal and Essential Oils. As I mentioned last month learning and understanding more about the energetics is something that I have always been very interested in and I find the more I learn, the clearer the picture becomes. Just as I did last month I'm adding some additional information here on what the energetics of the Tarot can bring to this month as well. Since the classifications in Tarot are based on Astrology and not the Gregorian Calendar, the information I'm sharing is for Taurus season.

The Major Arcana Card for Taurus (April 21 - May 20) is: V The Hierophant

Qualities:  Humane, virtuous, philosophical, religious, loyal to a group or to collective beliefs, conventional.

Shadow:  Unquestioned conformity, dogma, self-righteousness.

Numerology:  The number five can be about learning lessons, moving forward, involuntary instability, shift change, disruptions, shaking things up, challenges, uncertainty, boundaries, crises and transformation.  Change.

Strengths Achieved: Loyalty, greater understanding, fertility in life, upliftment of the soul, freedom of beliefs, kindness and compassion.

Weaknesses Revealed: False security, ancestral fears, misunderstandings, misplaced loyalties, overindulgence; stubbornness, wishy-washy beliefs.

Tree of Life Path: Path 16 called Vau (the Nail) moving between Chokma and Chesed and reminding us that the Hierophant represents the connection between divine wisdom and human understanding. This archetype is often associated with religious or spiritual leaders with the authority and knowledge to guide others on their spiritual journey. The Hierophant’s journey through the Tree of Life represents seeking higher knowledge and understanding and the responsibility to share that knowledge with others. He must balance wisdom with compassion and mercy and use their authority and expertise for the greater good.  This path encourages us to approach learning with humility and respect for tradition while also using one’s knowledge and authority to guide others toward compassion and mercy.
