May 2026 Energy Report
Jennifer Hoffman – May begins with the most powerful full moon of the year and the only one in Scorpio. This is a particularly interesting one for me because, as I shared with you, whenever this particular full moon happens my life changes considerably. It’s exactly square my natal moon and I think that this is something that should be considered in our assessment of our astrology chart. You can read my Substack article on the ‘Life Lesson and Trauma Point’ at this link.
May’s 6 descension energy comes after April’s 5 energy of transcension. Five is the number of transition, not transformation. What we did in April comes to fruition or expansion in May. 6 is the number of descension, it’s the first part of our 3 step ascension journey. With descension we get energy to do the work that needs to be done if we are going to fulfill our intention. This is the follow up from whatever dis-integrating or pivot work we did in April.
And a full moon represents completion of what the new moon began. The April 17 new moon began that process, especially with its close conjunction to both Chiron and Eris. The May 1 full moon sets it all in motion, whether we are ready for it or not.
May’s theme is alchemy and it will end a lot of frustration because this is the alternative to the endless journey of ‘healing’ that so many teach about. I have rarely agreed with those who call themselves spiritual teachers because I do not think many of them really understand what they are teaching. They focus on healing, which is an endless loop of trying to feel better, but it never accomplishes anything.

The alternative, which I have been teaching for decades, is alchemy. We don’t really release energy and more importantly, the emotions that are attached to it. Our emotions control our energy, not the other way around. And trying to ‘heal’ also violates Newton’s First Law of Thermodynamics- energy cannot be created or destroyed.
Alchemy refers to the process of energy conversion – one thing becomes another. Lead turns into gold through a process of heat and molecular reordering (that’s a very broad description but you get the message).
When we try to ‘heal’’ ourselves what we really want is the pain to go away. But that cannot happen. What can happen is that we alchemize the pain – we transfer it into something else. And this is the power of May and the power of this Scorpio full moon.
In May we are going to find it difficult to continue to support people and situations that do not give back to us and are not a good use of our time and energy. This may be challenging because our support comes with an agenda – for healing them or us or both.
This is what we can no longer serve and once you start identifying these people and situations, you may find that you have been giving your energy to these ‘energetic black holes’ as I call them, for a long time. Not a time for judgment, just realize, alchemize, and move on. That’s the energy of May and its strong fire and air energy – get it, get going, and don’t regret it.
One more thing about May’s energy – when we stop serving others’ needs with our energy and pull it back we find that we have all kinds of energy at our disposal. We’re becoming ‘energetic empty nesters,’ like what happens when your children leave home and you have all kinds of free time you never had before, because you were taking care of them.
