Courageous New Paths: May 2025

Greetings Dear Astrology Friends,

May is the time of year when we embrace the abundant beauty of mother earth as she displays her exquisitely fragile bright blossoms for us. As the Sun travels through the sign of Taurus, our hearts begin to open like these blooms, unfurling from the long winter cold. 

There is so much to look forward to as we move from the earth to the air element – from Taurus to Gemini season – during the month of May! We are invited to embrace every flower and every warm breeze that finds us! May you find the courage to be joyful –

MINDFUL MAY PLANNER

1st – 3rd: All planets are direct! Without retrogrades to slow us down, we are finally waking up to the new reality and realizing that change we must!

 

1st – 2nd: Venus at the Aries point! This is our time to move forward into the unknown like never before, with the courage and feminine strength of the goddess! Venus dances with Neptune this week, allowing us to move beyond our creative limitations.

 

4th: Pluto moves retrograde until mid-October: time to consolidate debt.

 

5th: Mars, our action planet, is finally out of the realm he entered into in early December 2024. We are now free to let go of the stories we’ve been living since then and embrace a new chapter. The lessons of Mars are painful to suffer but we cannot grow without them!

 

11th – 12th: Full Moon at 22° Scorpio, with Uranus in the mix. Let’s stay as calm as possible over these days and avoid emotional meltdowns. The highest vibration of the this Full Moon is deep and profound meditation as Light pours into this earth from the Higher Realms. Sacrifice your own need for intensity and observe life with a light touch.

 

20th: Sun moves into Gemini: Happy birthday dear Gemini friends! We feel a lightening of the spirit and a wish to be free from the things that weigh us down. Remain patient while you make inner changes which invite greater freedom.

 

26th – 27th: A momentous period! Saturn moves into Aries,  touching the same degree as Neptune last month. Observe the world’s stage! And this is happening at the New Moon at 6° Gemini (May 26 at 11:02 pm in New York). What seeds are you planting now along your path? Will you have blossoms next spring?

 

25th – June 8th: Mercury travels through Gemini – a beneficent time to upgrade your car or computer, and to conduct business deals. Music is also favored now, so carve out time to relax and enjoy your favorite musical vibrations!

 

Wishing you the will to walk down a new path during the month of May!
 

May the Sun shine upon you,
Catherine
