This year, May will make you want to explore new ideas, places, and experiences. May, the fifth month of the year, brings a fun, restless energy that encourages you to throw caution to the wind. It’s time to spread your wings and experience the freedom to do something different outside your comfort zone.

Remember, 2025’s 9-vibrational energy reminds you that it is time to complete and release plans, desires, and dreams that no longer serve you. When May’s 5-vibrational energy merges with 2025’s 9-vibrational energy, the wisdom of numerology also alerts you to be aware of another important message this year. May’s unique energy is becoming a 14/5-vibration, the energy of addiction.

At different junctures in our lives, we carry a backpack full of old thoughts, beliefs, and behaviors. Many of these served us at one time but no longer align with who we are now. Letting go of these mental and emotional patterns is key to stepping into your desired future, and it plays a major role in breaking addictive behaviors.

Here’s a guide to help you release what no longer serves you, learn from past mistakes, and welcome the freedom to explore new opportunities: The first step to change is self-awareness. Reflect inward and identify the beliefs and behaviors that are holding you back. Were these created by fear of failure, social expectations, or familiar responses?

Once you acknowledge these old habits, open your heart and forgive yourself. These were what you knew to do then. For example, if you have taken risks in the past that you regret, think of those as steppingstones rather than setbacks. What did you learn about yourself, your values, your purpose? Perhaps these were really pop quizzes to help you grow.

Mistakes are some of life’s most outstanding teachers, offering invaluable lessons you wouldn’t learn otherwise. Take time to reflect: what did each mistake reveal about your priorities or blind spots? Were there patterns in your decisions that you can now recognize and shift?

By consciously extracting the lessons from your experiences, you no longer need to carry the emotional weight of regret or shame. Release the “luggage”, the negativity associated with those events—and keep only the wisdom.

This month, take a moment to reflect on your current aspirations. Do they align with your passion and purpose? Aligning your thoughts and actions with your 2025 meaningful vision, can help ground you as you embrace new opportunities. Instead of relying on risky habits that bring only fleeting satisfaction, focus on actions that provide long-term fulfillment.

This year, 2025’s May energy messages, learn from mistakes, will guide you with valuable insights. It prepares you to be fully awake, aware, and ready to live with passion and purpose into your next 9-year cycle starting in 2026.
