Month Overview
Welcome to May 2025. The cosmic landscape is shifting, bringing new opportunities and challenges that demand our attention. The headline event this month is Saturn entering Aries, which marks a significant energetic shift. This changes the background frequency of our lives, focusing our collective attention on new themes and inviting us to adapt. We also navigate Retrograde energy from Pluto, asking us to slow down, review, and reconsider our past actions. It's a time for introspection rather than outward expansion, checking our work before moving forward. The lunar cycle highlights themes of Scorpio, inviting us to find emotional balance and set powerful intentions for the future. Navigating this month requires presence, adaptability, and a willingness to flow with the changes rather than resisting them.

Trust the timing of your life and know that every shift is leading you towards growth and higher understanding. Stay grounded and centered.
🌌 Planetary Positions
Calculated for May 1, 2025
Dates to Remember
Pluto Retrograde in Aquarius
Pluto stations Retrograde in Aquarius, marking the beginning of a significant period of review. This transit invites us to reflect, reassess, and reimagine matters related to Pluto's domain—whether it be communication, love, or structure—through the lens of Aquarius. Delays, mishaps, or confusion are not punishments; they are cosmic signals to slow down and fix the foundation before building higher. Use this time to tie up loose ends, revisit old projects, and gain a new perspective on past decisions. What you fix now will be stronger for the future.
Slow down and proceed with caution. Double-check all details, contracts, and communications before finalizing anything. Use this time to finish old projects rather than starting new ones. Patience is your best ally right now; rushing will only lead to mistakes. Reflect on what needs to be healed or improved.
Aquarius and Pluto-ruled signs will feel the slowdown most intensely. You may feel like you're walking through mud, but you are building strength and resilience for the future. Embrace the pause.
Full Moon Full Moon in Scorpio
The Full Moon in Scorpio illuminates the night sky with intense clarity, bringing a powerful culmination to the themes of transformation and deep healing. This is a moment of peak energetic release where hidden truths are revealed and emotional cycles reach their dramatic climax. The energy of Scorpio asks us to find a delicate balance between our inner emotional world and our outer responsibilities. As the Moon opposes the Sun, we are called to integrate these opposing forces and find harmony within the chaos. I embrace transformation and release what no longer serves my highest good. Use this time to release what no longer serves your highest good, clearing the emotional debris to make space for new blessings. It is a time of ending chapters so that new ones can eventually begin. The light of the moon reveals what was hidden.
Journal deeply about transformation and how it manifests in your life. Shadow work to ground your energy. Try a simple ritual: Cord cutting. Release emotional baggage and forgive those who have hurt you. Make space for the new by letting go of the old.
Scorpio and its opposite sign (usually) feel this most intensely. Expect emotional waves, vivid dreams, and sudden realizations that change your perspective. You are being called to evolve.
