May Astrology Forecast 2025
Welcome to the May Astrology Forecast! A month where there’s a palpable buzziness in the air. Where Uranus brings in the unexpected, Taurus reminds us to ground ourselves as medicine and Saturn leaves Pisces after two years, ushering in a whole new energy coming our way. Read on for some of the most noteworthy dates this month!
Friday May 2 - Venus conjunct Neptune in Aries
Today our dreams and fantasies get a little more oomph. Our desire for connection and inspiration is ramped up. Our need to express ourselves in our entirety - and be seen for it - feels that much more necessary. And if there’s a dash of agitated fogginess? Yup, there’s that too! Today let the love pour over, the beauty infuse you, and put an extra dash of magic towards your most fantastical, incredible daydreams. Let them nourish you from the inside out.
Sunday May 4 - Pluto stations retrograde
Back for his yearly stint, Pluto stations retrograde and this slow moving planet lets us review and reflect on how its been impacting our lives. Are we shedding old versions of ourselves? Are we in the goo still, or is a transformation palpable? Are there outdated ways of operating, of structures in our lives, that need a review? Having been through all three personal planet retrogrades already this year, this is a much less intense one. So get curious, see what wants to be transformed - and what you may have to release in the process.
Saturday May 10 - Mercury enters Taurus
Mercury moves into Taurus and we trade sharp tongues for slow, methodical ideas. We remember that not all messages come from the mind (ha!), but that the body is a supreme vehicle for the most profound insights and messages. In his short stint in Taurus, Mercury asks us to come out of the head and into the body. To speak slowly and with purpose. To take your time, remembering that the frantic pace of the world doesn't have to infiltrate yours.
Monday May 12 - Scorpio Full Moon - stay tuned for the moon musing!
- Mercury in Taurus squares Pluto in Aquarius
Happening on the same day as the Scorpio full moon, Mercury squares Pluto and brings the underworld to light. Brings our thoughts, our conversations, our inner musings to a edgy edge. We may feel the burning desire to speak what's always needed to be said. We may hear unexpected words from another, sending us on an unexpected journey. We may feel elements of grief, of shame, of rage sprinkle through our thoughts and words. So while emotions may be running high, choose your words intentionally. And remember that sometimes what's left unsaid can speak a thousand words.
Saturday May 17 - Sun conjunct Uranus in Taurus
Alrighty, here we go! When the Sun and Uranus meet up in the sky, it's a setup for 'woah! where did that come from?' 'um, wait, what?' 'wowza, finally the clarity I need!' It's a "anything can happen" type of vibe. The shakeups and shakedowns that come from seemingly nowhere when Uranus is involved. Redirections happening if we've strayed off course. It can also feel hella agitating, supremely buzzy, fury inducing, and wildly illuminating. So if shakeups to your foundation occur, for better or for 'worse', trust that there is cosmic work at play trying to return you to your quest.
Tuesday May 20 - Sun enters Gemini
The Sun enters Gemini and we get our mental cranks going. Follow the next interesting breadcrumb, find that next belly laugh. Here things feel a little lighter - a little less serious, a little more playful. And sometimes more scattered, as we try and follow all the exciting pieces of information we’ve ever wanted to learn, try and do all the social activities that get our hearts a-buzzing. So shake off the heaviness of what's come before, find that book/podcast/stranger that ignites your spirit, and remember that in these harsh times, play is not a luxury, even if others try and convince you otherwise.
Saturday May 24 - Mercury conjunct Uranus in Taurus
We're back for more shakeups and throwdowns! A prickly combination, this setup has our personal communicator coming up against the unexpected. Pushing us past any doubts to speak our truth. To say what really needs to be said. It can feel a little edgy, a little prickly as agitations can run high. Nervous systems can feel on the fritz. And when shocks (Uranus) come into our lives, we often feel the reverberations for a little bit. So whether it's an unexpected text from an ex, a blowout with your boss or finally having the energy to finish your memoir, pay attention to the messages you're receiving - there's bound to be some gold in there.
- Saturn enters Aries - stay tuned for a special email!
Sunday May 25 - Mercury enters Gemini
Mercury returns to his home sign of Gemini and has a BALL here. Reading seven books on eleven different topics? Sure! Buzzing around like the newly awoken bees? Why not! Here are mental realms get a little more gusto - which can be a positive or negative welcome depending where you're at these days! Are our minds serving us? Or are we at their mercy? Are we feeding ourselves with what interests us? Or are we going a mile a minute, not actually absorbing any of it? It's a perfect time to delve into a new interest, to put pen to paper, to make a list of your funniest friends and call them daily. Be flirty and have fun!
Monday May 26 - Gemini New Moon - stay tuned for the moon musing!
Friday May 30 - Mercury conjunct Sun in Gemini - Superior Conjunction/Cazimi
Get the notepads out! Find some stillness amongst the chaos! Today the Sun and Mercury meet up in Gemini, pointing all signs towards 'a-ha' moments, breakthroughs from what has been previously stuck, and a whole lotta, dare I say, clarity even? The Superior Conjunction in Gemini feels significant. Feels like a washover of our mental sphere. Clearing out the cobwebs and allowing spaciousness for the new to enter. It's a day to pay attention, find meaning in the messages and get curious to what's presenting itself to you today! It may be leading you to your exciting next step.
Have a great month!
