Mark your calendars for May 5 because one of the most marvelous mystical days of the season is here.
The 5/5 portal occurs every year on the same day, igniting our lives with positivity and setting intentions that let us speak to our inner sentiments and aspirations, which is vital for our development.
The magical spring day is a gateway that infuses our lives with fresh energy.
According to Lindsay Mack, famed tarot practitioner and author of the newly released Soul Tarot: A Deck and Guidebook for Healing and Self-Discovery, "On May 5th, we will move through a 5/5 portal, offering us a beautiful opportunity to expand, grow, and manifest more of what we're desiring."
It is a moment of transcendence that warms our hearts and minds with vigor and excitement.
Numerologically, the number 5 is ruled by the planet Mercury. It ignites curiosity, freedom and versatility. The portal gives us a chance to discover our truest callings and create creativity in our lives.
"Sequential numbers like 1/1, or 5/5 are also known as Angel Numbers, which raise the vibration of a particular time or day. We can harness this energy when it arises in our lives by honing our intentions, focusing on what we want more of, and clearing out all that no longer serves us," Mack says.
Mack explains, "5/5 is particularly powerful because it can assist us in breaking ties with painful cycles or patterns that we cannot seem to shake. 5 in Tarot is connected to The Hierophant, which can signify a wise spiritual teacher, but can also illuminate the deep wisdom we carry within ourselves."
She adds, "This 5/5 portal is a chance to face our wounds, honor our disappointments, and offer our heart the tending it needs so that deep wisdom can flow freely from us. This work will allow us to root into deeper self-trust so we can evolve through these patterns and make space for all that we do want to manifest and call into our lives. A new pathway is just around the corner, ready to be embraced."
So, how can we use this portal to our benefit? The sun, which is the essence of joy, drive, and passion, in Taurus, offers a beacon of inspiration and hope. The moon, which centers around our emotions, waffles from Sagittarius to Capricorn. The lunar shift brings luck -- not without effort. We have to do the work and take steps toward growth.
Mercury in Taurus and Pluto in Aquarius square off, urging us to start the journey. We shouldn't just talk the talk; we should walk the walk. Now is the time to roll up our sleeves and evolve into the person of our dreams.
