MAY 2025

May brings all the spring flowers and a few astrological twists and turns. Read on, astrocats.

It begins with Pluto’s annual retrograde on the 4th. This is an outer planet, so the effect is subtle. Use this time to reflect on friendships, community, and leadership. Break habits, let go of compulsive tendencies, and dive deep with your therapist. You can heal yourself or the collective if you do the work. Pluto stations direct on October 13th.

Creative thinking is in the house when Mercury slips into Taurus on the 10th. This is excellent news for artists and designers! Even if that’s not you, you can find new ways of looking at situations – let your imagination come out and play! Mercury in Taurus also prefers to focus on practical matters. Common sense is abundant now – helping you find the way to smart decisions. Guard against stubbornness, which could derail your progress. Mercury leaves Taurus on the 25th.

Get ready for big-time revelations with the Full Moon in Scorpio on the 12th. The veil is thin today – trust your gut and follow every hunch. This day could bring a significant ending. It’s best to let go, even if you want to hang on for dear life. Also: if you need to redo your budget, here’s your chance.

The Sun saunters into Gemini on the 20th. It’s Gemini season – and time to write, learn, and indulge your curiosity! Catch up on the latest gossip, tell jokes, and read every book your heart desires. If you want to take short trips, this is your green light to hit the road! The Sun remains in Gemini until June 20th.

Big news: Saturn dips a toe into Aries on the 24th. After two years of watery Pisces, which tested boundaries and threw salt on dreams, this transit favors new beginnings, calculated risks, and bold leaders. If a structure is faulty, you can begin to construct a new foundation. This is also the time to take personal responsibility for your life. Accountability is IN, so don’t point fingers unless you point them squarely at yourself. Saturn will move back into Pisces on September 1st, giving you a few months to review the boundaries created during the past few years. If they’re still shaky, you can reinforce them once and for all. 

Mercury goes home to Gemini on the 25th. The trickster planet LOVES being in witty Gemini. During this transit, which hangs around until June 8th, minds and words are quick and nimble. Make snap decisions, enjoy scintillating banter, and follow your curiosity down every bunny hiding hole.

Start new books, sign up for classes, or begin conversations when the New Moon shows up in Gemini on the 26th. This is a delightful cosmic event, best for feeding your head or talking it out. Set intentions for education, writing, or quick trips.
