May, brimming with Beltane’s transformative and healing energies, brings powerful influences that propel us toward bold thinking, manifestation of dreams, and swift realization of our intentions.
To highlight the energies that will guide you throughout the upcoming month, I lay out the Gypsy runes on the Wheel of Ruk and Boler. The spiritual rune of the month defines its transformational mood, while the four elemental runes reveal the flow directed by each element.
The Spiritual Essence of the Month
The Fire rune channels a potent flow of strength and purifying energy. In the bonfire of reflection and awareness, we burn away the past while using those same flames to illuminate the future. This month, prioritize cleansing—both inner and outer—for yourself, your loved ones, and the spaces where you live and work.
The central theme is tuning into your inner fire, which will fuel your desires and dreams with power, inspiration, and creative energy. Don’t remain stagnant—explore new paths, revisit old passions, or combine them. Just don’t let yourself settle too comfortably into a cozy burrow, or you might miss the chance to gather momentum and recharge before the Summer Solstice.
Fire’s strength lies in courage, determination, and sometimes reckless boldness. Some steps feel impossible if you overthink their logic—so when doubt and anxiety arise, close your eyes… and simply step forward. The current of your new path will sustain your inner flame, that deep joy and fulfillment in what you do.
Air
Elemental processes begin in the realm of Air, anchored by the “Moon” rune. Connecting with it activates our inner magic, allowing it to manifest in tangible results. To harness the Moon’s power, you must befriend your subconscious, surrendering to intuition. This reveals harmony and alignment with the forces governing the world. Be prepared for whirlwinds of perception, prophetic dreams, and intuitive guidance pointing the way.
This period invites you to express hidden emotions, reveal concealed aspects of yourself, and finally act on long-held desires that couldn’t surface before. Bringing forth what was suppressed replenishes depleted energy, preserves well-being, and empowers you to support others when they need you.
Fire
The “Bone” rune of transformation reveals where to draw strength for this month’s challenges. It reflects the changes we’ve undergone—particularly in worldview, perception, and relationships. You may experience shifts in core principles, patterns, or belief systems.
“Bone” speaks of shapeshifting—changing form but not essence. Internally, you remain true, yet externally, you may act differently. Inner transformations now ripple outward, altering your interactions with society, people around you, and even collective energies (egregores).
Water
This month, strength comes from self-care—tending to physical and emotional health, home, and loved ones. The “Mother” rune grants safety, comfort, joy, and celebration of life in its fullness.
By cultivating inner celebration, nurturing yourself without anxiety for the future—instead, anticipating it with love and trust—you magnetize the best, most magical possibilities into your life. This is a time of miracles and discoveries. Accept gifts from the world, people, and the Universe with gratitude and delight!
Earth
On the material plane, the “Tree” rune of growth and blossoming is active. This rune of life itself signals favorable progress for new ideas, career advancement, and reaching new levels of abundance.
While thoughts and plans surge, remember to stay grounded. Avoid idle daydreaming—instead, take concrete steps toward your goals now. This is an exceptionally fertile time to plant seeds for future endeavors, especially in relationships, business, and finances.
Wishing you a productive month of profound discoveries! May the Spirits of the Elements bless your path!
