Energy forecast for May 2025

May is a month for revelation, say the guides. Here is the energy forecast for May 2025, plus four stones to help you manage the energy to come.

This month, garden quartz is lending its help to the energy forecast for May 2025. Also called lodolite or scenic quartz, garden quartz is a stone of transformation. It helps you look at—and heal—your imperfections, memories, emotions, and experiences.

I'll be honest. My heart sank a little when I saw what the stone wanted. I expect May will be a month for confronting our collective shadow. In fact, lately it has felt as if the current chaos is reaching fever pitch. Will the patient pull through? The guides say yes. Since our world is currently in one of the darkest moments of my lifetime, I'll have to take their word for it.

With thanks to the guides, the Garden Quartz Consciousness, and the Andromedans*, here's the energy forecast for May 2025. This month, they offer four stones that may help you manage the energy to come.

Hello, what can we expect from the energy of May?

Explosions. Surprises. New information. Expect the unexpected this month, for this is a month of revelation. It's a month for dirt, corruption, and incompetence to be revealed.

We're sorry to say there may be a few casualties along the way. We know you're suffering right now, and we want to tell you that you're winning—even if it doesn't feel like it.

It is contrast in your world that allows for the greatest leaps. The resistance you are meeting, the painful things you're watching, these are binding you together more closely than you ever imagined. They are filling the gaps between polarities. People are beginning to put differences aside to work toward what they have in common. That was the purpose of this exercise in your spiritual game. For that's what it is: a game.

You are all here to learn something. You are all here to grow. You are all here to support Gaia’s growth. We don't belittle your experiences by calling it a game. We're simply trying to give you some perspective. All things have purpose—even this deeply unpleasant experience you are living through right now.

Deeply unpleasant is an understatement. Is there anything special we should look for?

In your world, power seeks more power. So, watch for the powerful to move to preserve their power. In that action, you may begin to see change at the highest levels of your government.

When I looked at the energy of the month, I saw it as a line that exploded near the end. What was that about?

What you saw is the reaction to a potential surprise this month: consternation; grief; anger. We don't want to tell you too much about it because it may not occur.

How will the energy affect us in our personal lives?

You may be knocked off your balance this month, so pay attention to your grounding practices. Walk in the woods. Take some yoga classes. Work with grounding stones or do some breath work. Any of these practices can help you keep your balance when the energies are swirling around you.

Why did garden quartz want to help with this forecast?

As you suspected when you saw garden quartz raise its hand, May is a month of confronting your shadow.

Shadow work is the process of looking at the things you don't like and deciding whether to keep or discard them.

Garden quartz excels as a partner in shadow work. This stone helps show you what's buried inside. With its help, you can look deeply into the void to confront, and heal, what's holding you back.

Ugh. How can we help manage the energy of May?

Consider working with any of these four stones. Use your intuition to choose which to work with. (If you're not sure how to work with a crystal, we encourage you to try one of these four crystal meditations.)

• Red jasper. The quintessential grounding stone, red jasper connects you to the Earth, helping to alleviate stress, eliminate negativity, and stabilize the aura.

• Ocean jasper. Ocean jasper—particularly blue ocean jasper—is a stone of tranquility. It teaches our cells the lesson of water. Water will always find the path of least resistance. Water doesn’t engage in resistance; it merely goes around whatever blocks its way.

• Herkimer Diamond. As one of the highest frequency stones available, herkimer diamond is useful for physical and emotional healing. It can help to clear the chakras and harmonize the body’s subtle energies.

• Obsidian. Obsidian is a protective stone, but it is also a shamanic stone, a scrying stone, and a shadow work stone. As a result, you may want to take care when using it in shadow work. Obsidian won’t pull its punches.

Is there anything else you'd like us to know?

Fasten your seat belts. The ride could get a little bumpy. We encourage you to keep your head down. Try not to engage with these conflicting and chaotic energies, if you're able. Do things that give you pleasure—read a book, take a walk, or watch a movie. Not only is this important for your own energy, but it is also of help to the collective.

* If you are new here, welcome. The Andromedans are a group consciousness that has asked to provide the kind of information that "sheds light, heals hearts, and provides hope." While they have given me the name "Light Heals" as a way to identify them, for simplicity's sake, I merely use the term "the Andromedans." We collaborate on monthly energy forecasts and, sometimes, additional posts.
