May will be shocking and electric! The energy is fast, and our heads could be spinning with the rate of change. As the level of the collective angst and restlessness increases, it is important to develop your nervous system and Kundalini Yoga is the fastest way to do that. We begin and end May with Full Moons! May 1st was a doozy of a full moon in the sign of Scorpio and May 31 will be a full moon in the sign of Sagittarius. It can be viewed as starting the month looking into the deep dark waters of the subconscious mind (think of the biggest part of the iceberg being below the surface water) and then fully realizing the truth and the direction forward pointing your arrow (Sagittarius is the archer) in a different direction based on that uncovered truth.
Last Friday’s Full Moon in Scorpio was a dance with darkness that intended to take us to the light. The problem is that the intense Scorpionic trials can keep us stuck and even addicted to the intensity of conflict and drama. Violence, betrayal, envy, desire for revenge, depression, neediness, and fear torment us in an inner underworld of emotional chaos. In Scorpio territory, the mysterious nature of our ever-shifting emotions, lack of awareness about their essence, and our inability to deal with them condemn us to sustain strategies of avoidance, denial and repression, which create and perpetuate unhealthy patterns that keep us stuck in the dark waters of pain and suffering.
Projection and blame destroy our relationships. Shame and guilt prevent us from understanding and loving ourselves. But Scorpio is about transformation, liberation, and empowerment. Elevated Scorpio (the soaring Eagle) guides us to seek strategies that direct us toward the truth, light, and love. The only way out of our internal suffering is through self-honesty, understanding, forgiveness, courage, and compassion. Scorpio is ruled by Pluto and Pluto is going retrograde in Aquarius this month, beginning May 7 and lasting until October 15, 2026. This is where the work turns inward. Pluto governs power, control, truth, shadow, and the death–rebirth cycle—it destroys to renew and brings what’s been buried to the surface—while Aquarius governs the collective, community, technology, and the systems we participate in. During the retrograde, you start taking a real look at where you’ve handed your power to a group, identity, or external structure, where you’re trying to control outcomes instead of staying centered, and where you’ve been choosing belonging over truth.
While Aquarius brings up the tribe, Pluto asks if it’s actually aligned. This cycle often brings a reset around your relationship with the collective mind, groups—social media, technology, and where your energy is going each day—whether it’s building something real or pulling you off your path. You may find yourself pulling your energy back, becoming more selective with who and what you engage with, and having less tolerance for anything that feels inauthentic. Pluto retrograde is part of its yearly five-month cycle and tends to bring reflection around power and control issues, but it can also open deeper gateways into the subconscious, where old patterns, memories, or even past imprints can surface to be transformed.
In both modern and Vedic perspectives, Pluto carries a frequency similar to Lord Shiva—the force that dissolves what is no longer true in order to awaken higher consciousness. The prescription this month is for Mantra and grounding into the Taurus energy. Taurus is the most grounding sign of the zodiac and the Mahamrityunjaya Mantra, a mantra to Shiva for healing, protection, and conscious transformation. Often hailed by the sages as the heart of the Vedas, this mantra acts as a forklift, supporting you through cycles of death and rebirth and helping re-anchor your awareness into something deeper and more stable as everything continues to evolve. This is a mantra for moving through death and rebirth consciously and allowing transformation to happen at the root. Chant it, sit with it, and let it recalibrate.
We also have another big transit- Mars in Aries square Jupiter in Cancer. Mars, our action, energy, drive, ambition and sometimes aggression is expanded by Jupiter. Large scale achievements can be made with this alignment. This can feel quite good until we burn out! Care should be given to over doing it. This is bold action, but care and tact must be used. Think before you act as things could quickly escalate. Choose your interactions carefully.
May 10, Mother’s Day brings us a beautiful Sun sextile Jupiter. This is one of the most fortunate transits in all of astrology and often shows up as good luck, happiness and optimistic energy. Starting new projects is encouraged as it is a good time to realize goals. Opportunities can show up to enhance wealth and well being. We will have class at 9:30 am honoring Divine Mother. Consider giving mom a CommuniTea Gift Certificate for her special day- Yes, she wants to do Yoga; Yes, she wants an Astrology Reading; Yes she wants a Sound Healing. Give the gift of yoga, sound healing or astrology reading with a CommuniTea Yoga gift card. Perfect for classes, teacher training, and spiritual sessions in Vista, CA or online. Get one here
Another good day to think before you act would be Thursday, March 14 when the moon Mars, Eris and Chiron all come together. Remember Mars and Eris are siblings, the God of war and the goddess of discord. Chiron represents our original wound, and thus is referred to as the wounded healer and the moon represents our emotions. This is quite a serious lineup and if we do not think before we act or aim before we fire, we could get into some serious trouble. It could be very destructive and disruptive behavior coming out in people.
On May 16th at 1:01pm we have a New Moon in Taurus at 25 degrees. Taurus is more stabilizing as it is an Earth sign and ruled by Venus. It is in an out of sign conjunction with Uranus and very close to Mercury and half square to Saturn. There are two semi-sextiles, Mars/Chiron to Mercury and Mars/Chiron to Venus. These are considered uncomfortable in astrology. Mercury moves into Gemini the 17th and this is super activated energy with the Uranus conjuction. There could be communication challenges with this alignment Also, the New moon conjunct Uranus could be viewed as New Earth. What are your visions for New Earth and humanity? This is the day to set those intentions and you connect with the earth, connect with the water and connect with the light. Join our class Sunday May 17th
All the personal planets will switch signs from the 17th to the 20th, meaning Mars, Mercury and Venus. This shift will be felt deeply and you will want to call for more light into your body to make these changes easier on the nervous system. Remember the result of Kundalini Yoga practice is building your container of light- or Radiant Body. On May 20, the Sun moves into Gemini and by the 22nd it is conjunct Uranus. This can be very quick uncontrollable energy. This is where the sparks fly. Sun /Uranus is innovation, lightning strikes, surprises (Uranus) information (Gemini), new intelligence that breaks us out of our current thinking. Uranus is disruptions so we may experience more disruptions in our communications, computer issues, phone issues, satellite disruption, travel disruptions as Uranus rules the air, etc. Mercury is also here in Gemini, its home sign and sextiles Saturn. That will help us become a bit more grounded and real. The moon goes into Virgo that same night so more practical, earth energy for us. But the best advice is to do grounding practices at this time. earthing, hugging a tree, getting in the water. Doing a digital detox to balance the information overload. We will have our Wednesday Morning class on May 20, 9:30 am with a "Very Secret Kriya" to help with this energy and call in prosperity. Join here
May31 we have a Full Moon in Sagittarius at 1:45am PST. At 09 degrees, that is very dynamic. Sagittarius is the Archer in the sky. Pointing his arrow towards truth, liberty and freedom. There are hard aspects to Jupiter and Eris, forming an iron yod- (moon sesi-square to Jupiter and Eris) expanding the truth and inclusivity. It is almost a kite. Mercury is sextile Chiron. Which is more communication about what needs to be healed.

MASTERY SERIES Module 3 —
The Crystallization of Sound runs July 16 through August 20, 2026
In the beginning was the Word. In every tradition, creation begins with vibration — Word, Naad, Shabd, sound-current, prana, light. Physics name it frequency and mystics call it light. Your field is a living orchestra: breath tempo, heart rhythm, brainwaves, meridian flow, and the harmonic resonance of the Twelve Rays moving through your chakra system. Dis-ease is often dis-sonance, and sound is one of the most direct pathways back to coherence.
In this six-week immersion we explore the ancient science of frequency as a living, healing force. Drawing from the Music of the Spheres, the Crystalline Rays, and the vibrational intelligence of the planets, students learn to recognize their own unique sound signature and work with voice, tone, and vibration as instruments of self-mastery. From understanding how color, chakra, and musical note align in the Lightbody field, to discovering your missing or imbalanced tones through planetary and astrological mapping, each class builds a complete foundation for personal and professional sound healing work. The final two sessions move into full immersion — dedicated mantra practice and live student-led sound healing sessions, where everything comes together in embodied, real-time experience.
Curriculum includes vocal technique — safe projection, resonance, Sanskrit and Gurmukhi phonetics, mantra cadence and decree work — alongside instrument instruction in crystal bowls, gong basics, Tibetan bowls, chant drone, and chimes, with guidance on projection, intention and room setup, acoustics, SPL awareness, and session design for special populations. Students receive mantra sheets and prayer booklets with phonetics, meaning, and pacing, as well as sound-bath setlists in 30, 45, and 60-minute formats across a range of healing intentions — grounding, purification, heart opening, vision, peace, and transmutation.
Assessment is a 15-minute practicum — a mantra or sound-bath segment — with peer feedback. Thursday evenings 6-8pm, live or online with replay available. SIGN UP
