Bloom: Intrinsic Energy Work™ For May 2021
May holds one of my favorite Intrinsic Energies™ to explore and pay with – Bloom.
All around us is the beautiful vibration of blooming. Blossoms are opening, early-season baby birds are hatching, the grass is growing, and the bees are gathering their first pollen from dandelions.
In May, I love tapping into the Intrinsic Energies™ of new life, of new possibilities, and of new potential.
In my Intrinsic Energy Work™ we use the energies of the moment to support our deeper learning and healing. It is this deeper learning and healing that facilitates our conscious and Spiritual growth.
Diving into the energies of the moment isn’t necessary to do your work, but they help you focus your efforts, and when you tap into what is present, it makes your work easier and more consistent.
So not necessary, but deeper.

Knowledge is Power. Action is Empowerment
I always say ‘Knowledge is power. Action is empowerment.’ and here’s what I mean by that.
If you read your horoscope, it gives you information but it doesn’t help you with your learning, healing, and growing. It gives you insight. It *may* give you direction, but that’s about where that knowledge takes you.
Intrinsic Energy Work™ gives you tools that help you take that knowledge and use it to further your healing which in turn helps you deepen your growth.
How to Ues the Intrinsic Energies™ of May 2021
Let’s see how you can use the Intrinsic Energies™ of May to support and deepen your growth!
Monthly Theme: Bloom
This month we turn our Intrinsic Energy™ exploration to the energies of Bloom.
Think for a moment and connect to how you feel when you see a flower blossom?
Here are a few feelings that come to me (share with me in the comments how flowers blooming make you feel.)
Joyous
Hopeful
Empowered
Gifted
These Intrinsic Energies™ and the ones you personally noticed are what we can tap into this month to full our learning healing and growth.
Try this:
Find a project you really want to birth.
Step into your Intrinsic Energy Work™ space (still don’t have your Daily Practice space yet? Create yours here)
Reflect on the journey of the blossoming flowers. They are set long before the blossom. Either hanging on the tree preparing to bloom, or preparing deep beneath the earth, waiting for the perfect time to reach up through the ground.
How is your project any different from this? It carries the same process. It holds the same energy. It has the same destined outcome as the flower if you would only hold it in the same vibration.
See your project out in front of you. Infuse it was the joyous, hope-filled Intrinsic Energies™ present this month.
Infuse it with the same certainty that we know about flowers. They will blossom. There is no doubt.
Hand your project off to Spirit so that you can manifest it.
How else can you infuse your life with this month’s Intrinsic Energies™ of Joy, Hope, Empowerment and Gifted?
Share with me in the comments. Speaking your Comments out helps them to materialize.
If you’d like to explore the Intrinsic Energies™ of the month, be sure to join my monthly membership, Awaken & Grow: The Spiritual Seeker’s Collective, where we enhance our healing and growth work by utilizing the Intrinsic Energies™ of each month. This is an experiential learning & growth space with Intrinsic Energy Work™ led by me.
UNIVERSAL 1
In numerology, May 2021 is a Universal 1 month (5+2+0+2+1=10 = 1+0 = 1.)
A 1 month is an excellent time for opening a new cycle of independence and leadership, which can bring rewards and achievement. This is also an excellent time for buying and selling goods; for seeking publicity, new friendships, or relationships; and for initiating creative projects. A 1 month will revitalize you and make you feel important and special. AstroNumero.org
This May is a Universal 1. The prevalent Intrinsic Energies™ are newness, movement, and possibilities. 1 is the number of creations. It is the number of birth. It also represents the root of opportunity.
Using the Universal 1 Intrinsic Energy™
Not every May is a Universal 1 month, so given that May Intrinsically is a month full of newness, new birth, and opportunity, this year’s May is extra blessed with these energies.
How will you apply them to your life this month?
What do you want to birth?
Where can you find the roots of your opportunity? (Maybe set out intentions to find those roots if you don’t know where or what they are.)
Plus 10!
A divine number, 10 means a return to unity, the fusion of being and non-being. The number 10 denotes the completion of a cycle, making 10 very skilled at whatever they choose to do, but they do so on their own terms. The number 10 reduces to the number 1, so independence is of obvious importance for the 10. TheSecretofTheTarot.com
Before we refine May’s numerology down to 1, we move through the # 10.
So we can also sprinkle some 10 magic into May’s power.
Look for places where cycles end this month. Always remember to celebrate them, regardless of their completion energy, a cycle completed comes with a new beginning and is something to celebrate.
Look for your unique voice, and your own style, especially as you focus on those things you want for yourself. Be sure to do them in your own Truth, or they will become traps rather than expressions of your True self.
Plus 5!
Also, remember that 2021 is a 5 year that is about change and laying strong foundations. As you explore completing things and tidying up, what can you complete and clear that will help you move forward with a stronger foundation.
TAURUS INTRINSIC ENERGY™
May is mostly rooted in Taurus Energy. Toward the end of the month, we move into Gemini, but I tend to focus on the most predominant energy of the moment for our Intrinsic Energy Work™.
When we explore the Taurus Intrinsic Energy™ we can amplify the positive and use the negative as a source for our healing. In my mind, it’s not actually ‘negative,’ but rather an opportunity for awareness, for clearing, for healing, and ultimately for our growth.
Taurus – Positive Intrinsic Energy™
Pleasure
This month, explore how you can bring more pleasure into your life. That doesn’t have to mean spending money, although if you have it and you want to then go ahead.
Pleasure defined is a feeling of happy satisfaction and enjoyment.
Maybe you use this month to identify, consciously, what brings you pleasure?
If you already know, you can focus on bringing more of those things and moments into your life.
Think about what gives you a sense of happy satisfaction and enjoyment
Make a list of those things.
Make a plan to experience more of them this month.
Also remember with Intrinsic Energy Work™ we can tap into an energy anytime, so it isn’t so much about doing things that elicit feelings of pleasure, you can actually embody that sense of happy satisfaction and enjoyment regardless of what you do or don’t do.
Try this:
Get into your Intrinsic Energy Work™ Daily Practice space (Don’t have one yet? Get yours here.)
Think of something that gave you a sense of happy satisfaction and enjoyment.
Let that feeling spread through your body and energy field.
Practical
This month, we can tap into Taurus’ practicality and use it to move from ideation stage to the doing stage.
For example you can
Make a list of things you keep thinking about doing.
Next to each thing, write out the steps that need to happen to move yourself from thinking to doing.
Spend this month working through the steps.
What I love about using this month’s Taurus Practical Intrinsic Energy™ in this way is when you do this exercise, it will free up so much for you – time, energy, mental load. When we sit with an idea and just spin it around and around with no action, it takes up a ton of our time and space.
Taurus – Intrinsic Energy™ Healing & Growth Opportunities
Inertia
Inertia is the tendency to do nothing, to be stuck or sedinatry.
This past year has left many feeling a sense of inertia. This month is the perfect time to clear that energy out. You can aslo refer to the two elements above, Pleasure & Practical, to help you physically shift you out of intertia.
To clear
Get into your Intrinsic Energy Work™ Daily Practice space (Don’t have one yet? Get yours here.)
Put the inertia energy out in front of you and pick it apart to see what it is made up of.
Use an energetic magnet to clear out of that image and your physical space, everything you identify.
If you aren’t good at seeing, YET, try this instead:
Tap into that feeling of being stuck or inert.
Using an energetic magnet, let the magnet clear that energy out.
You can also use your breath and blow that energy out.
Indulgence
Indulgence isn’t always a negative. To indulge in something can give us great pleasure. Indulgences as a ‘negative’ happens when we move into greed, gluttony, or entitlement.
If you are challenged with Indulgence Intrinsic Energy™ (overeating, impulse buying, competition dynamics) this is the perfect time to explore what’s underneath that dynamic for you.
Get into your Intrinsic Energy Work™ Daily Practice space (Don’t have one yet? Get yours here.)
Put the indulgence energy out in front of you and pick it apart to see what it is made up of.
Use an energetic magnet to clear out of that image and your physical space, everything you identify.
If you aren’t good at seeing, YET, try this instead:
Tap into that feeling of indulging.
Using an energetic magnet, let the magnet clear that energy out.
You can also use your breath and blow that energy out.
Use your Intrinsic Energy™ Daily Practice space to clear out and then fill in with an energy of your choice. (Still don’t have your DP space? Come on! )
MOON WORK
If you work with me in the Awaken & Grow membership space (soon to be The Spiritual Seeker’s Collective) you know how powerful the Moon work is and how much I love using the phases of the move to support healing and growth. I look at the astrological sign each Moon aspect is in and use that information to guide the Intrinsic Energy Work™ we do.
Where most people see the Dark Moon as the New Moon (when there is no moon in the sky,) I follow the old ways. The Dark Moon has three stages – each of which occurs when there is no moon in the sky. The New Moon follows as the first sliver of waxing crescent appears.
There are three phases of the Dark Moon: Review & Reflect, Clear, Cultivate
Dark Moon Phase 1 – May 10, 2021 – Taurus
Review & Reflect
This month’s Dark Moon I is in Taurus.
Review any themes this past month that had to do with Practicality, Nurturing, Sustainability (personal and universal,) slowness, stubbornness, inertia, and indulgence.
Reflect on this information
Clear out anything that is ready to go
Review your New Moon Manifestation list.
Review your list
Celebrate what came in!
Cross off what you don’t want or need anymore
Dark Moon Phase 2- May 11, 2021 – Taurus
Clear Debts, Step out of patterns
Debts that may pertain to Taurus Intrinsic Energy™
What debts do you have around being Stubborn? (Where did you dig your heels in and you feel you owe something for those moments?)
What debts do you have around being inert? (Things you never did, promised you would do but didn’t etc.)
What are you carrying debt-wise around stubbornness, inertia, indulgence?
Clean up both energy & actual debts.
Patterns
inertia
stubbornness
The second Dark Moon phase is the perfect time to step out of the Intrinsic Energy™ patterns that keep you locked in old behaviors.
Try this:
Step into your Intrinsic Energy Work™ space (don’t have one yet, start here)
Put a picture of you (amorphic shape will do) standing in the energetic pattern.
See the image of you step out of the energetic pattern.
Reset your space with what you want in place of the pattern.
Dark Moon Phase 3 – May 12, 2021 – Taurus
Cultivate
The third phase of the Dark Moon is to cultivate and prepare for planting your intentions during the New Moon.
I always use the Intrinsic Energy™ of this Dark Moon phase to enhance the cultivation and preparation. In this case, the phase is in Aries, and so I use its intrinsic energy™ qualities of boldness and big to prepare my Manifestation space for the next day.
When setting out intentions this month, you want them to grow out of an alignment with what will support you at your highest vibration.
In manifestation work, I use a piece of rich soil to plant the seeds of what I want to create.
To cultivate & prepare do this:
Step into your Intrinsic Energy Work™ space (don’t have one yet, start here)
Put your manifestation garden out in front of you.
Infuse the soil with structure, a sturdy foundation, form, and function for your manifestations.
You can also tap into Taurus’ deep connection to nature and use that energy to infuse your manifestation space.
Hand it to your Spirit so that you can call it back tomorrow.
New Moon – May 13, 2021 – Gemini
The New Moon is one of several New Beginnings we can tap into through the year. Isn’t great we have so many opportunities to express our desires and set out our intentions for what we want?
Gemini brings an energy of curiosity, adventure, and masterful communication.
As you identify what you want to set out on your manifestation list for this month, be sure to include some/any of the following
answers to a question you have.
unexpected opportunities or adventures that benefit you.
improved communications with someone.
increased ability to communicate.
New Moons are for setting out your desires, what you want to create for yourself and in your life. If you didn’t review your list from last month during phase 1 of the Dark Moon, review it now. Cross off anything that you don’t want anymore. Celebrate whatever came in. Rewrite your list and include on this month’s list those things that align with the Gemini New Moon Intrinsic Energies™ (My point is, you don’t have to only focus on Gemine IE, always keep your manifestation list current and evolving.)
After you have written your New Moon manifestation list do this:
Step into your Intrinsic Energy Work™ space (don’t have one yet, start here)
Call back the piece of soil you prepared during yesterday’s Dark Moon phase.
Turn everything you want to create into a seed.
Plant each seed into the soil.
Hand it to your Spirit so that you can manifest it.
Full Moon – May 26, 2021 – Sagittarius
For the Full Moon I focus on questions that are rooted in the Intrinsic Energy™ of the astrological sign the moon is in and we use these questions to help us deepen our healing & growth.
There are three steps to my Full Moon work: Reflect/Heal, Forgiveness, Gratitude. There is nothing unique about the three areas, what is unique is how I work through these three areas using Intrinsic Energy™ awareness.
***Remember, seeing something means we get to clear it. You must, must clear it to heal & grow. The things we look at aren’t meant to further wound you, we all do stuff, have thoughts, have missteps, what’s important is what we do with those moments – clear them and move forward.
To use the Sagittarius Intrinsic Energy™
We look at out of aligned Sagittarius Intrinsic Energy™ which is associated with an inability to fulfill promises, lack of patience, lack of tact, and inattention to detail.
Reflect & Heal
Reflect on these questions, look at where & how they apply to you and release what comes up:
Step into your Intrinsic Energy Work™ space (don’t have one yet, start here) and explore:
where have I not fulfilled my promises?
where have I lacked patience?
where have I lacked tact?
where did I have an inattention to detail or gloss over something important (to myself or someone else?)
Use your Intrinsic Energy Work™ space to clear out anything that comes up – memories, regrets, embarrassment for your behavior and actions, as well as the Intrinsic Energies™ of reneging on promises, lacking patience, lacking tact, and glossing over the details.
Forgiveness
Traditional exploration of forgiveness tends to focus on forgiving someone for something they have done that negatively impacts you.
That’s not how I work with forgiveness. My focus is on doing the healing work on the energies and emotions that need to be released.
We look to forgive ourselves for the ways we have been hard on ourselves, for the ways we have spent too much time and energy focused on someone or something else. We look to step out of the wound and we look to understand what lessons we are working on and what information we can take from the experience.
It doesn’t give someone a pass, but it is important to remember that anger or wounding held only continues to hurt you. The person who caused it isn’t impacted by any of that. So let’s stop putting our focus there.
Full Moon Forgiveness Work
Step into your Intrinsic Energy Work™ space (don’t have one yet, start here) and explore:
Where do you hold anger or resentment for promises unkept to you?
Where do you carry wounding around someone’s impatience with you?
Where do you hold on to the hurtful words of others?
Where do you hold on to someone’s callousness?
Gratitude
Step into your Intrinsic Energy Work™ space (don’t have one yet, start here) and explore:
Reflect on how and in what way you are grateful for independence, exploration, curiosity.
Where do they show up in your life? What contributes to them in your life?
Sit in gratitude.
Goddess Energy
Maia
Maia is the Goddess May is named after. She is a Fire Goddess welcoming in the renewal and rebirth of the new season, shedding the death of winter. She represents growth and fertility and is honored with an abundance.
When I work with Goddesses and their Intrinsic Energy™, like all things in my work, the focus is on using the energies to support our healing & growth, not to give our power over for healing to be done.
I love working with Goddesses in this way. They meet us in our Intrinsic Energy Work™ space and provide support and guidance. They are partners in our journey.
When working with Goddesses we look at the Intrinsic Energies™ they embody and manage, and we tap into those qualities and gifts to deepen our own healing & growth.
Here are some thoughts on working with Flora this month:
Work with Maia to tap into renewal and rebirth.
Work with Maia to support you in shedding what has died.
Work with Maia to tap into abundance.
When you see life and blooming expand into the abundance and new growth.
Go Deeper With Me
We do deeper Goddess Work in my Spiritual Seeker’s Collective* membership group. We not only work with the intrinsic energies™ we also meet each Goddess and receive the insight and gifts they have for us.
I also work with members on each of the areas noted above. The monthly focus is a live Zoom call. The Moon Work is all done in the livestream. Goddess Work is also done in the Livestream. Hallmark moments, like the Equinox, are done via live Zoom calls. I also offer one ‘Ask Me Anything’ a month for members.
Please join the Collective if you want to work with me on everything mentioned in this Month’s Guide.
*The Spiritual Seeker’s Collective is currently called Awaken & Grow. It is undergoing growth of its own. Over the almost two years since the membership launched it has evolved into a beautiful space that mirrors a past program of mine called Awaken & Grow Through the Seasons. The fact that this yearly, monthly, and hallmark moment work is still rising to the surface tells me it continues to be essential work for your healing & growth.
