Intuitive Astrology Forecast
Tanaaz – May 2025 holds a different energy than the months before it, which will bring a welcomed change! The planetary energies are on the move, inspiring us to step forward and perhaps even take some leaps of faith.
We are hitting new ground and will feel like we are emerging into a new, and hopefully brighter chapter.
After having zero major planets in retrograde since April 13, we break the spell on May 4, with Pluto stationing retrograde in Aquarius. This retrograde energy is subtle and will be working on the deeper layers of our being. We won’t necessarily feel a slowdown in our outer world, but we may find ourselves reflecting and pondering on the transformations and changes that have unfolded in our lives since October 2024.
May also brings opportunities to get in touch with our spiritual side. Kicking off with the Scorpio Full Moon, we may find ourselves doing some deep soul-searching and unearthing deeper truths about our path and purpose.
This trend will continue with the Algol Gateway, the Alycone Gateway, and the Silver Gate Portal– all of which take place this month. These star gates are high-frequency points in our year for connecting with the cycles of death and rebirth and honoring the ebb and flow of life.
We may feel more connected to our loved ones passed, or find ourselves experiencing awakenings that connect us to our path and potential.
Towards the end of the month, we experience a milestone event of 2025, which is Saturn’s move into Aries. This shift signals the start of a new karmic cycle that will be with us for the next 2.5 years.
While in Aries, Saturn will also align with Neptune, bringing an incredibly rare cosmic transit to work with!
Overall, May 2025 brings a fresh perspective and plenty of opportunities for a rebirth. Let’s take a closer look into the key astrological events of May 2025-
May 2025 Astrology
May 1-3: Venus Conjunct Neptune
Venus and Neptune come together in the sign of Aries, creating magical notes of harmony! While both Venus and Neptune don’t love to be in fiery Aries, their presence will bring a soothing calm, helping us to feel more compassionate and perhaps more open, especially when it comes to matters of the heart.
Venus and Neptune together can spark romance, creative inspirations, and help us to see beyond our current reality. It is also a nice planetary combination for spending time with those that we love, or planning a relaxing getaway.
May 4: Pluto Retrograde in Aquarius
Since April 12th, we have had zero major planets in retrograde, but now the spell is broken with Pluto entering its annual retrograde in the sign of Aquarius.
Pluto spends about 6 months of the year in retrograde, so this is part of its natural rhythm. In retrograde, Pluto gets us to focus on the subtler frequencies and to reflect on the transformations that have taken place, not necessarily in our outer world, but in our inner world.
Pluto Retrograde is a subtle energy as it works on the deepest layers of our being, helping us to release and shed some of those old energies we no longer need to carry. You can think of Pluto Retrograde as a time to sort through all that has been uncovered from deep within our subconscious.
As Pluto will be retrograde in the sign of Aquarius, we may find ourselves thinking about community, or pondering how we fit in. Aquarius can be a very healing energy, so our attention may turn to practices that enrich our wellbeing. On the world stage, we may see Pluto Retrograde shining a spotlight on the use of technology and AI. Pluto will end its retrograde journey by October 13th, 2025.
May 10: Mercury in Taurus
Mercury, the planet of communication, enters earthy Taurus, where we are encouraged to ground our thinking. This is a great time to clear the mental clutter and focus on the thoughts that bring us nourishment and support. We may also find it easier to plan out budgets or long-term goals that are focused on bringing us security.
May 12: Scorpio Full Moon
The Scorpio Full Moon is always one of the most magical and mystical of the year. In traditional astrology, the Moon in Scorpio is said to be an unfavorable position, however I think there are deeper layers that can be activated here.
Scorpio represents transformation and the cycles of death and rebirth. With the Moon in Scorpio, we have the potential to peel back the deepest layers and find a new wisdom or a new way of being.
Peeling back layers can be a painful process and can stir a lot of lingering emotions, but there is also a magic to digging deeper and allowing ourselves to access the more hidden parts of our being.
The 2025 Scorpio Full Moon is a great time to let any heaviness go and to focus on release work. Our attention is very much going to be centered around our emotions, but we may also find ourselves experiencing a deep ah-ha moment as well. Uranus is active under this Full Moon too, indicating some instability or restlessness, but it seems the more we can be real with ourselves and how we are feeling, the easier time we will have navigating whatever unfolds.
