May 2025 continues to unfold within the powerful energy of the Universal Year Nine, a year centred around release, completion, and greater wisdom. As the fifth month of the year, May carries the energy of freedom, adventure, and change. When combined with the Universal Year Nine (5 + 9 = 14, 1 + 4 = 5), we enter a Universal Month Five, amplifying themes of movement, transformation, and breaking free from restriction.
This is a month of momentum. After April’s grounded energy, May invites you to shake things up, take some risks, and follow your curiosity. It’s a time to embrace change, seek out new experiences, and allow yourself the flexibility to pivot if needed.
Themes for May 2025
1. Embracing Change and Releasing Control
The energy of Five brings unpredictability, excitement, and growth through change.
May asks you to stay adaptable and open to new paths unfolding. Let go of rigid plans.
2. Exploring New Possibilities
Whether through travel, new projects, or unexpected conversations, this is a month to say yes to exploration.
What excites you? What’s calling for a leap of faith? Allow your curiosity to lead the way.
3. Releasing Old Attachments
With Nine still shaping the year, May may surface final layers of patterns, habits, or relationships that are ready to be released.
True freedom often begins with letting go. This month shows you what you’re ready to unhook from.
4. Energy Surges and Restlessness
You may feel bursts of motivation followed by scattered focus. That’s normal under a Five month.
Channel this energy into movement. Walks, workouts, dance, or short creative bursts will help you stay grounded.
5. Freedom Through Authenticity
May calls for radical honesty and personal liberation. Where are you people-pleasing? Where are you dimming your light?
The more you speak and live your truth, the more aligned opportunities will appear.
What to Expect in Different Areas of Life
Love & Relationships
Relationships may go through a shake-up. Some will deepen through honest conversations, others may naturally drift apart.
If in a relationship, make space for freedom and autonomy.
If single, May is perfect for meeting new people and exploring connections without pressure or expectation.
Career & Finances
A dynamic month for brainstorming, networking, and thinking outside the box.
Be open to new ideas, offers, or detours that might take your work in a fresh direction.
Financially, stay aware of impulsive spending. Now is the time to invest in experiences or learning that expand your perspective.
Personal Growth & Spirituality
Five energy supports inner liberation—freeing yourself from outdated beliefs, routines, or expectations.
Spiritual practices that involve the body are especially powerful now. Practices like dance, breathwork, yoga, or walking meditations.
Stay flexible and trust the wisdom of change.
Key Advice for May 2025
Let go of control— the more you surrender, the more freedom you’ll find.

Channel restlessness creatively— use movement, expression, or travel to release pent-up energy.
Be honest with yourself— true freedom begins when you stop hiding and start living in your truth.
Have fun with the unknown— growth doesn’t always follow a straight line.
Final Thoughts
May 2025 is a month of movement, freedom, and liberation. It encourages you to trust the twists and turns, say yes to what excites you, and break away from anything that feels limiting or stale. While the Nine energy continues to guide you toward completion and wisdom, the Five reminds you to live boldly, explore fearlessly, and evolve with joy.
Be curious. Be brave. Let yourself grow.
