Planning Ahead: Considerations for May 2026. Exploring alignment and fluidity in the midst of change.
May 1: Beltane in Northern hemisphere, Samhain in Southern hemisphere
There’s a reason I’ve been curating and sharing seasonal insights and dosha-balancing guidance with my circle for over 12 years. Many of us grew up disconnected from the natural rhythms that surround us and are finding our way back into alignment with them. This return is both healing and empowering, as we turn away from superficial distractions and remember our place in the Universe. We find that the experience opens the door to deeper healing and meaningful transformation. I am proud to support you as you guide your students and clients in remembering and reclaiming their place within a vast and interconnected whole.

May 1: Beltane and Samhain
Beltane and Samhain divide the year into two parts:
Dark (honoring death), and
Light (honoring life)
These are said to be a “time of no-time” when the veil between the two worlds is at its thinnest, when the “worlds intermingle” and “magic abounds.”
Northern Hemisphere
Beltane is the midpoint between the Spring Equinox and Summer Solstice.
Beltane traditionally marked the beginning of summer.
A number of Beltane traditions came to be celebrated as May Day in the Northern Hemisphere.
Southern Hemisphere
Samhain (pronounced SAH-wen) is the midpoint between the Autumn Equinox and Winter Solstice.
Samhain traditionally marked the end of the harvest season and the beginning of winter.
Samhain is said to be the best time of year for introspection, intuition, and divination.
