The Crystal Herbs Newsletter - May 2023 |
Dear Friends,
May is here in all of its rich natural abundance, one of our favourite months of the year. Everywhere around us here in Norfolk, there are beautiful blossoms shinning forth, creating a wonderful contrast to the vivid green of new leaves unfolding on the trees. The first flush of dandelions and buttercups are filling the meadows around us, and the bluebells fill the woodland spaces with their amazing colour and scent. |

New life is everywhere around us and we feel so blessed and grateful for it.
Mother tincture making is now well under way and we are hoping that there will be some sunshine to allow us to catch everything that needs making as it bursts into life. At this time of the year this can sometimes be quite challenging as everything seems to come along at once.
We hope that you are able to make some quality time to spend out in nature this month just taking in the beauty and allowing the energies to uplift and revitalise you. |

The Energies of May |
There are a lot of intense, volatile energies around this month which will need careful negotiation if we are to get the best from their transformational qualities. All of the energies flowing in from the cosmos offer us the opportunity to choose to engage with their highest potentials or to be influenced in a less positive manner.
Keeping our vibrational frequency as high as we can and being very mindful of how we respond to the energy flow this month will help us to get the best from the opportunities on offer. |
May’s energetics have aspects to them that are combative, impulsive, and emotionally triggering, and will also take our focus yet again to how we manage power & control issues both individually and collectively.
The underlying purpose here is to help us move to a new more expanded level of consciousness and to release the old stories that belong to the past, but we will need to engage with it at that level of understanding for best results.
This is an invitation to step into the wisdom of our heart and to own anything that might be triggered off for us so that it can be reviewed and transformed into something more life enhancing. Being able to hold your centre and to stay aware, calm and balanced will assist greatly with this process.
There are also strands in the energy flow this month that will take us into some very creative places where we can more easily connect with our inner wisdom and a more expanded spiritual perspective. |

Full Moon Scorpio |
On May 5th we have a potent full moon lunar eclipse with the Sun in Taurus and the Moon in Scorpio, exact at 6.34pm UK time. Eclipses bring endings, culmination of past actions, realignment, and new beginnings. This is a south node eclipse so will take our focus to our collective past and what we need to release so that we can choose a new direction for our future. |

With the Moon in Scorpio there is likely to be some emotional intensity around this eclipse as well as the potential for previously hidden secrets and truths to be revealed.
There is a lot of planetary activity in the Taurus region of the sky at this time,including the presence of Uranus which is directly opposing the Moon. Uranus isthe planet of surprises so we should expect the unexpected here! Financialvolatility, rebellious and aggressive behaviour, and emotional intensity are really possible in this energy flow as we seek to move forward in new ways.
As uncomfortable as this might feel in the moment remember that the old has to end so that we can create something new for the future. So, if you find yourself a little buffeted by the energies of this eclipse, take a moment to breath and centre yourself. Just allow whatever has come into awareness to be present with you, own what is yours and give it space to balance out. Remember that all is well however it looks. |

Mercury Direct & Jupiter into Taurus |
Mercury has been in retrograde motion since April 21st and will turn direct again on May 14th in Taurus bringing us greater mental clarity and insight to help us see our way forward with greater ease.
May 16th will see the expansive planet Jupiter move from Aries into Taurus where it will stay for the next 12 months. The annual movement of Jupiter into a ‘new zodiacal home’ always creates a powerful shift in the energetics. For the coming year it will be expanding the earthy energies of Taurus in beneficial and uplifting ways, taking our attention to how we can better care for the Earth and begin to live in greater alignment with the cycles of nature. |
New Moon in Taurus |
The new Moon this month is on the 19th May in the sign of Taurus, exact at 4.54pm UK time. There is still a big focus of harmonious planetary activity in Taurus at this time reinforcing the opportunity for substantial new beginnings to be set in place both personally and collectively.
Make the most of these harmonious new Moon energies because the energetic focus changes very swiftly in the following days as Pluto and Mars join the party, highlighting issues of authoritarian power and control versus personal sovereignty, freedom, and independence.
This is powerful, intractable, and volatile energy that could feel uncomfortable if we do not stay awake and aware. Greater authoritarian power and control is not the direction of our future unless we choose it to be, so stay in your heart and hold a vision for a new more expanded future to unfold. |
|
The Influence of Taurus |
The sun moved into Taurus on April 20th beginning a month-long period during which it will act as a powerful magnifier for the energies flowing into the Earth from the constellation of Taurus.
In western astrology, the earthy feminine energies of Taurus are represented by the sign of the bull. They bring forward the principle of illumination and offer the potential to see beyond the illusions of time and space.
Within the energies of Taurus there is both the power of creativity and an element of potent magnetic attraction that amplifies the desire to create. In its highest form this energy seeks to blend and harmonise all aspects of creation in beauty and love.
It is aligned with the forces of enlightenment that remind us of the need to ‘to be in the world but not of the world’, so that we can turn the magnetic power of ‘desire’ into a force that will help to bring positive transformation to the many areas of life that currently require resolution. |

The Deep Journey of Transformation |
This month promises to be an eventful fast moving one that will take us deeper into our journey of transformation, both individually and collectively. When we have an eclipse on the south node of the moon as we do at the beginning of this month it is an opportunity for us to look at what old patterning from the past needs to be released so that we can move forward differently.
This is particularly the case right now as we move through this profound period of transformation that is taking us all up the evolutionary spiral. It is a journey back to the heart and to our true selves.
Letting go of the old patterning might seem quite simple, but we all know that while it might be simple it is not necessarily easy. These are deeply held collective patterns that we are dealing with, that have been part of our incarnational experiences on Earth for many lifetimes.
As such they have become collective agreements about how our societies operate and how we as individuals fit into these agreements. They have affected how we see ourselves, how we see others, how we engage with the Earth and natural world,and how we operate as individuals.
Stepping Out of Old Agreements
These old patterns are constructs that exist within a particular layer of vibrational frequencies, those that relate to third dimensional existence. As the vibrational frequencies rise on our planet new strands of consciousness are opening up to us. We are being invited to remember who we truly are and to step into our spiritual power as co-creators of our reality.
To take up this invitation however, we must step out of the old agreements, patterning and vibrational frequencies that relate to the past. We are now well underway with this process that has been going on since 2012 and this month will offer us all further opportunities for release and transformation.
We have reached a point now where the need for change is becoming very obvious in the world as is the degree of resistance and opposition to those changes from some in powerful places. Remember that this is just part of the process and focus on what you can do within yourself to move with the flow in the best way that you can.
Freedom to be Yourself
Give yourself full permission to accept the freedom to be yourself, and to make the choices that your heart and soul are guiding you towards. Let go of any old patterning that might present itself for review this month and allow your vibrational frequency to expand so that you can see beyond the old ways.
We are each here with purpose in this incarnation to assist with this process of change. Each time we make new life enhancing choices we are adding to the creation of a new reality and making it easier for others to make new choices. Most importantly we are setting a vibrational frequency in place that can be used to build new foundations for the future. |

Essence Suggestions for May |
As we move deeper into our journey of transformation, we are facing the need to upgrade and change some of the fundamental beliefs that have under pinned the fabric of life as we have known it.
The energies this month have a clear focus on assisting us to do this so our Essence Suggestions for May are based around essences that can help us with this process. |

Deep Transformation
At a fundamental level our process of transformation is taking us from a consciousness based in polarity and separation to one based in unity and love. One of the primary drivers of a consciousness based in polarity and separation is the vibrational frequency of fear.
If you look carefully at the old patterns that are currently coming up for review, you will most likely find fear sitting squarely at the bottom of most of them. With this in mind we thought that we would start with a reminder of some essences that can help us to dissolve this unhelpful frequency so that we can begin to see past it.
Check out Inner Calm; transforming fear, Strength & Courage Spray; overcoming fear, Feeling Safe; trusting life and Pink Rose to see which would most support you.
Pink Rose from the Karmic Essences range is one of our favourite essences at the moment when we are working with fears. It has the ability to quickly isolate the fear that you are working with and then ping it into your awareness so that you can easily see it for what it is. This is a good essence to use if you have an illusive strand of fear from the past that you can’t quite identify or have an old situation that you can’t completely move past.
Polarity and separation have also left us with a legacy of beliefs that keep us feeling disempowered, unworthy,uncertain, angry, resentful, and judgemental. These are harsh vibrations, yet they form a part of many of our old patterns and will also keep us firmly in polarity consciousness until we make new choices.
When the energies are very volatile and unpredictable as they are at the moment we can sometimes find ourselves unexpectedly encountering some of these old energies so here are some essence combinations that will help you to release and move on:
Stepping Out of Old Agreements
To be able to successfully step out of the old agreements that are coming to an end rapidly now we need to give ourselves permission to step fully into our power and autonomy as a being.
This means that we have to let go of the need to be liked, the need to find love outside of ourselves and the need to fix others and their situations. These are all survival patterns that we have used because they have seemed to support us in the old world. This has never really been the case, but it is now becoming absolutely obvious that we cannot take these patterns forward with us.
Bringing balance to these old patterns will leave you stronger and more able to offer assistance that is truly meaningful to anyone around you who might be in need.If you find yourself facing any of these issues this month then firstly checkout the Solar Plexus Chakra combination which will help you to find greater balance and equilibrium. Other essences that might also be particularly helpful here are Letting Go; dissolving attachment and Auric Protection Spray; safe boundaries.
Freedom to be Yourself
We are most connected to ourselves when we remember to move back into our hearts. Here we will find the freedom and wisdom that will allow us to express ourselves fully in the world as our true self. Here is a reminder of some essences that will help you to do this: |
