Astrological monthly forecast for May 2025
We are in the midst of an unprecedented time of cosmic transformation, a total reset of social, economic and political systems, a cycle of transition that will continue until 2040.
When the great Reformer Uranus begins its long journey through Gemini in early July 2025, an unprecedented innovative and digital revolution will be set in motion in technology, space travel, communication, robotization and AI. The world will be completely changed after 2033.
What will May 2025 bring us?
Pluto goes retrograde in Aquarius at the beginning of May 2025 and at the end of May 2025 Saturn begins the journey in the fire sign Aries.
For many of us, May 2025 is a turning point, a month of intense transformation.
The challenging planetary aspects have a profound global impact, both collectively and individually.
Uranus remains in conjunction with the fixed star Algol in Taurus, so May 2025 is also a month with many unpredictable and volatile events.
Uranus in Taurus sextile the North Node in Pisces bring together the energies of the past and the future. A unique opportunity for profound transformation, innovation and liberation, to embrace our individuality, break free from old patterns and explore innovative paths.
We are not bound by the past!
The past is the sum of experiences and the foundation for building an enlightened future.
At the beginning of May 2025, Venus and Neptune form a conjunction and this magical conjunction weaves a haze of longing and dreamy intensity.
This conjunction can blur the line between fantasy and reality.
Jupiter in Gemini will be at odds with Saturn in Pisces in the first three weeks of May 2025.
This planetary tension can be seen as a final showdown with the old system and will have a profound influence on religion and the Church.
However, outdated forms of governance and political and economic structures rarely surrender without a fight, leading to fierce global confrontations, financial crises, trade wars, political unrest and religious conflicts in many regions of the world, especially in England, the US and Europe.
The explosive situation in the Middle East, Central Europe, the war in Ukraine, and the global trade war is not over for the time being and may reach a critical phase.
With the swirling Air and Fire energy, we must expect unprecedented wind speeds, hurricanes, fires and explosions this month.
May 2025 opens with the fires of Beltane, the Celtic festival that symbolizes the transition from Spring to Summer. It is the festival of the goddess Freya, the goddess of Love, Fertility and Sensuality, that symbolizes the union of man and woman, which is reflected in human relationships.
From May 4, 2025, Pluto goes retrograde in Aquarius. Pluto stands for transformation and change. With Pluto retrograde in Aquarius, social processes slow down.
Pluto retrograde is an intense period in which everyone feels like they are losing control.
That is precisely why we are determined to hold on to what we have or what is still there.

From May 11 to May 26, 2025, Mercury travels through Taurus.
Mercury rules Gemini and is responsible for, among other things, thought processes. The mental Gemini energy is slowed down by the earthly Taurus. This is a thoughtful energy of consultation, of thinking and trusting the choices that are made.
With the annual conjunction of the Sun and Uranus in Taurus, between May 11 and 17, 2025 there can be revealing news and that coincides with the tense square of Jupiter and the Lunar Nodes from May 14 to 18, 2025.
This could be a significant potential for diplomatic breakthroughs in the conflict between Israel and Gaza.
The emotional Full Moon in Scorpio of May 12, 2025 is about our deepest desires and the struggle to realize them. With this Full Moon, an all-or-nothing energy prevails in the world.

From May 26, 2025 (until September 1, 2025 for now), Saturn travels through Aries and that is the beginning of a great karmic and collective shift. Saturn in Aries is a catalytic cycle of personal and social responsibility, focused on individuality, action and leadership.
The historical conjunction of Saturn and Neptune in Aries can indicate a change in the world from the end of May 2025, a new era of collective responsibility around faith, identity and leadership.
Saturn conjunct Neptune is a historical aspect such as in 1917-1918, the Russian Revolution (then in Leo), the USSR, 1953-1954, the death of Stalin (in Libra), 1989-1990 (in Capricorn), the fall of the Berlin Wall and the collapse of the Soviet Union, so again now there can be a historical development in Russia until February 2026, which affects the world as a whole.

May 2025 ends on May 30, 2025 with an exact Sun/Mercury conjunction in Gemini (8°) and this Mercury Cazimi in Gemini is the beginning of a new cycle, a moment of momentum, clarity, decision-making and enlightenment.
All decisions that are made then can bring about lasting change.
Next month, June 2025 will be largely dominated by the third and final square between Jupiter and Saturn on June 15, 2025.
This planetary cycle began in December 2020 (Corona pandemic).
But more about that later!
The planetary energies of May 2025 require you to be flexible and open to change.
Don’t be afraid of change.
Change is life!
We all have the choice to live in fear or in trust.
If you choose trust, there is nothing to be afraid of.
I wish all my dear readers a happy and safe May 2025!
