May: The Season of Romance
The month of May of course brings the energy of Beltane, traditionally a fire festival that was very much linked with passion, fertility and romance, and romantic unions. Spring is also a season of renewal and new beginnings, longer days and sunlight bring a sense of optimism, and a chance to feel courageous and open to love.
If you are single, and looking to reconnect
Being single, if you are ready for a relationship can bring a mix of emotions. Getting out and about more, going on holiday and spring/summer events offer opportunities for new encounters and the sense that something new could begin. But it can also be a lonely time, not just because you are presently single, but because the world often seems to celebrate ‘togetherness’.
But the Beltane season brings an important message; that it is fantastic to reignite a desire for passion, for connection, for joy and emotional fulfilment. But, also an acceptance that much of that comes from within and the people and life we build around us. There is no need to rush into a relationship to feel fulfilled, but it is better to remain active and open to the possibility and then let things naturally unfold.
People may say to you, “love will find you when you least expect it”, or some variation of that, and there is a lot of truth in the fact that when your energy shifts internally, when your protective barriers have come down, when you have let go of past disappointments and are ready to be seen as you truly are, the right person may enter your life and you will be ready and able to recognise them as such.
If you are in a long-term relationship, and looking to rekindle the flame
Over time, routine and responsibilities can take over, where lust and romance used to hold space. This is a natural part of a developing relationship; connection perhaps becomes quieter and an element of practicality creeps in. If things are feeling a bit hum-drum, then why not take the month of May to reconnect, and try to bring back some of the energy that drew you together at the beginning.
Love is not just about feelings, it is a complex thing of being heard, being seen, being appreciated and more. Everyone has a ‘love-language’, the way that they both express love and like love to be shown to them. Despite the modern world suggesting that we all want roses and chocolates, very often people are much more practical and would love a cup of tea in bed, the bins taken out or the dishwasher emptied with being prompted. Now, would be a great time to check in with each other and see if you are speaking each-others love language.
As months turn into years, we can easily forget how important it is to express our feelings out loud. Maybe we imagine that our significant others know how we feel, and surely, they can tell by everything we do for them! But, unspoken feelings – both good and bad have a tendency to create distance over time. So, why not make a concerted effort to express love more frequently, it can be spoken in person, in notes, by text – you might be surprised at how much it deepens your connection and feelings of intimacy.
A Powerful Message of Romance, May & Beltane
Love is not fixed, it is an ever-evolving, shifting set of emotions, it can deepen, it can change and it can challenge us in unexpected ways. Love is not about finding perfection, but embracing being allowed to be ourselves, to be seen and to feel fully, and to reciprocate that for our partner.
