Let’s talk about the energetic wildfire that is spring and summer. We love her. We really do. She’s full of sunshine, open windows, endless to-do lists, and that irresistible urge to do everything all at once. And while that might feel like alignment, more often than not… it’s just burnout in a flower crown.
So, if you’ve been riding the high of longer days, trying to “seize the season,” but you’re already feeling crispy around the edges—this one’s for you.
Spring + Summer = Masculine Energy Overload
Spring and summer are the masculine energy MVPs of the year. They’re aligned with the elements of air and fire—which, if you’ve ever fanned a flame, you know can be both magical and a little out of control.
In tarot, this looks like swords (air) and wands (fire). Translation? Clarity, momentum, quick movement, big passion, bold action. These seasons are cosmically coded for doing the thing, putting yourself out there, and turning inspiration into reality.
→ Spring is all about the breakthrough—like those dandelions that force their way through concrete. You’ve been dreaming, scheming, and now? You’re ready to move.
→ Summer is the burn. It’s the big action season, the spotlight moment. But it’s also when you start to feel the heat—literally and metaphorically. That burn becomes a slow smolder, and if you’re not careful? You’ll scorch yourself right into exhaustion.
We get it. That solar energy is seductive. But alignment isn’t the same as productivity. And that, dear Enchanted Sister, is where the Wheel of the Year can save your magical behind.
The Wheel of the Year Is Your Seasonal GPS
If you’re new here, the wheel of the year maps out the eight seasonal festivals that mark the turning of time in earth-based spiritual traditions. It gives us four main solar points—solstices and equinoxes—and four cross-quarter days that split the seasons in half.
And right now? We’re spinning between spring and summer, riding the wave of Beltane energy.
🌸 Beltane sits halfway between the spring equinox and the summer solstice. It’s fiery, sensual, alive. Think: Maypoles, wildflowers, bonfires, and that little buzz in the air when everything just feels a little bit more alive.
It’s the perfect seasonal checkpoint. A moment to pause and ask yourself:
- Am I acting in alignment… or just acting?
- Am I feeling lit up… or burned out?
- Am I connected to desire… or just going through the motions?
The sun might be calling you to do, but the wheel of the year reminds you to be.
Solar Drive vs. Lunar Flow
Here’s the cosmic truth bomb: the moon is still doing her thing while we’re all wrapped up in solar-powered productivity. While the sun pushes you forward, the moon invites you to check in. To feel. To cycle.
If you’re working with lunar energy (and hey, that’s kind of our thing), then you know that most new moons align with the sun’s current zodiac sign. In Taurus season, for example, you get a Taurus new moon. It’s like the sun and moon are conspiring together, aligning solar and lunar energy for max impact.
The problem is when we only listen to the sun.
The sun says: “Let’s go!”
The moon says: “But… how do you want to feel while you’re going?”
When you listen to both, you get aligned action. You take the right risks. You put energy behind the right projects. You say yes to the things that matter—and no to the rest.
When you ignore the moon? You’re just out here doing the most, and feeling the least.
Warning Signs You’re Out of Alignment
Here are a few red flags that you’ve gone full solar with no moon in sight:
✔ You’re saying yes to everything, but nothing feels exciting.
✔ You’re productive, but never satisfied.
✔ You feel guilty for resting—even when your body is begging you to slow down.
✔ You’re chasing the season, but feel flat, dull, or disconnected.
If this sounds like you, you’re not alone. Spring and summer energy is strong. And when air meets fire? That internal flame gets big fast.
But without the moon’s grounding influence, that flame turns into a wildfire.
Bringing It Back to Balance (The Witchy Way)
Let’s call in a little Beltane medicine.
Beltane is here to remind you that you are allowed to be playful. Sensual. Lit up by your own life. Not everything has to be productive to be powerful.
So if you’re feeling the creep of burnout this season, try this:
💫 Say no to something that doesn’t light you up.
💫 Do something just for joy (no ROI required).
💫 Make a little mischief. Dance barefoot. Eat something messy.
💫 Light a candle—not for intention, but for ambiance.
In other words, step away from the checklist and step into your body. Your energy. Your desire. That’s what Beltane is here to teach us.
The Moon Is Still Your Guide—Even in the Light
Remember, the moon’s rhythm isn’t just a winter thing. She doesn’t take a break when the sun comes out.
In fact, her medicine might be even more important now.
When everything around you is shouting “Do more!” the moon whispers, “But why?”
🌑 The new moon reminds you to start with intention.
🌓 The first quarter invites aligned effort.
🌕 The full moon is your pause-and-celebrate moment.
🌗 And the third quarter? It’s your permission slip to release.
Working with both the sun and moon is where the real magic happens. That’s when your actions become soul-aligned, not just socially expected. It’s where your energy becomes a spell instead of a spiral.
It’s Not About Doing More—It’s About Doing Aligned
This is the sweet spot we teach in our Holistic Witchery and Moon Mapping programs—how to use the seasons, the zodiac, and the moon to create real momentum without losing yourself in the process.
Because here’s the deal:
✨ You don’t have to hustle your way to magic.
✨ You don’t have to burn out to break through.
✨ You don’t have to say yes to every sunny day.
You just have to be aligned.
You just have to know how to listen—to the season, to your soul, and yes, to the moon.
A Few Final Spells for the Season
As you move through the spring and summer seasons on the wheel of the year, try keeping these in your magical back pocket:
🌀 Let the sun inspire your action—but let the moon direct your energy.
🌱 Let Beltane reconnect you to joy, desire, and vitality.
🌕 Let your lunar rhythm remind you that alignment always trumps hustle.
🔥 Let fire move you, but don’t let it consume you.
Because being busy is not the same as being magical. And when you’re living in alignment with the wheel of the year, you’ll find the rhythm that works for you, not the one that drains you.
