May 2025 Astrology Overview
Happy Birthday Taurus!!
May arrives like a cosmic crossroads, where past meets future, the soul deepens, and the mind awakens. With Pluto stationing retrograde, the Wesak Full Moon, and Saturn’s shift into Aries after 30 years, this month holds initiations, endings, and a strong call to clarity.
Here’s how the energy unfolds:
🌀 May 4 – Pluto Stations Retrograde at 3° Aquarius (through October 13)
This retrograde marks a descent into the underworld of collective systems, identity, and innovation. Pluto retrograde in Aquarius invites deep reflection on how we engage with power, technology, community, and the future. Where do we need to dismantle and regenerate? What outdated roles, friendships, or visions no longer serve?
This five-month journey supports internal transformation, especially in areas ruled by Aquarius in your natal chart. Let this be a time of release and redefinition.
🌕 May 12 – Full Moon in Scorpio at 22° – The Wesak Moon
This is not just any Full Moon—it’s the Sacred Wesak Moon, celebrated in spiritual traditions as the time when the Buddha returns to Earth to bless humanity. It’s a lunar portal of enlightenment, karmic release, and heightened intuitive power!
In Scorpio, this Full Moon pierces illusion and calls forth inner truth. Emotions run deep, and old wounds or power struggles may surface—especially around control, sexuality, or betrayal. But this is also a moon of alchemy. Use it for ritual, forgiveness, and transmutation. Meditate, release, and call in higher guidance. Details for your Full Moon Wesak Ceremony will be posted on the Full Moon Post!
♊ May 20 – Sun Enters Gemini
The energy shifts from earthy Taurus to quick-thinking Gemini, bringing movement, curiosity, and connection. It’s time to speak your truth, exchange ideas, and open to new possibilities. Conversations and mental clarity are highlighted—ideal for writing, teaching, traveling, or trying something new.
🔥 May 24 – Saturn Enters Aries (First Time Since 1996)
Saturn, the planet of karma, structure, and maturity, enters bold, fiery Aries—signaling the birth of a new 30-year cycle of leadership and self-mastery.
Expect a serious tone around independence, identity, and personal willpower. Aries says “Go!” but Saturn says “Go wisely.” Initiations now will have long-term impact. This is the time to build from your inner fire—with patience and responsibility.
Saturn in Aries will challenge impulsivity, reward integrity, and ask: Who are you becoming when no one else is watching?
🌑 May 26 – New Moon in Gemini + Mercury Enters Gemini
A double Gemini activation—this is a powerful moment for planting seeds of intention around communication, learning, and networking. Mercury rules Gemini and feels at home here, enhancing mental agility and inspired thinking.
This New Moon is perfect for writing, speaking, launching creative ideas, or setting intentions around truth, flexibility, and community.
Ask yourself:
– What conversation needs to begin?
– What story are you ready to rewrite?
