The month of May brings an interesting alignment that highlights your strategy for growth. Jupiter - the planet of abundance and growth - is scheduled to change signs in the Summer. But before that, it is tasked with making sure that your strategy for growth is aligned with the evolving celestial tide of change. Between April 30 and June 5, Jupiter has been activating the Lunar Nodes of Destiny, an influence that becomes exact and stronger this week (May 18). To better understand how to work with this configuration, we’ve created a ritual for you!
Head to a quiet space where you will not be disturbed and after taking a few cleansing breaths, light the Success Magic Candle while you reflect on the messages below.
Jupiter in Gemini: Since May 25th, Jupiter’s influence has been expanding self-expression. Whether it is through writing, speaking, learning, or teaching, it has requested a deeper communion with your mind. Between now and June 9th, which is when Jupiter leaves Gemini, this influence intensifies. Over the next few days and weeks, you might feel pressured to put the finishing touches on a project you’ve been working on. As the Success Magic Candle burns, meditate on the information below:
The South Node in Virgo: While logic and organization are important to the materialization of any project or dream, we’re in a period during which they can become detrimental. You will know this frequency is affecting you if your need for perfection is paralyzing your efforts. The celestial lesson here is to give up control as you unlearn the old ways of moving through the world. After all, the astrology of 2025 is about being open to doing everything differently.
The North Node: Your growth and success strategy has never benefited more from the gifts of the most watery sign of the zodiac - Pisces. You’ll notice that when you flow with change and the opportunities the universe presents you, alternative ways to find success open up for you. Creativity is part of this process and is connected to a year-and-a-half long journey that involves developing your intuition. Being in this frequency is noticeable when you’re trusting that the lessons available to you are, in fact, your gateway to arrive at the success you’re looking for.
Reflection Question: Are you swimming against the current (south node in Virgo)? Or… are you flowing with the celestial tides of change (north node in Pisces)?
