ASTROLOGICAL FORECAST FOR may 2025

---

The abundance of spring manifests more strongly in May. The sign of Taurus connects us to the Earth and all it has to offer till May 20th when the Sun moves out of Taurus into the sign of Gemini. 

I start this month’s column where I left off at the end of April with a new Moon in the money sign of Taurus. 

The new Moon on April 27th is in the sign of Taurus (3:31PM EDT) at 7 degrees. If you have Sun, Moon, rising or planets in Taurus in the first 14 degrees, you are evaluating your self-worth, confidence, and how it effects your financial life. 

Wall Street numbers have taken over the news cycles in April. The new Moon on April 27thchanges direction, a fresh start. May looks like the financial markets will find some stability by the full Moon in Scorpio on May 12th. 

Look at the full Moon in Scorpio for the results of choices made starting on April 27ththat could calm the nerves of everyone regarding financial planning for the future. 

THE MONTH OF MAY:

Mercury moved out of its retrograde shadow on April 26th and Mars moves out of its retrograde shadow on May 2nd. This is good news for the month of May since most of the planets since the beginning of 2025 have been in retrograde motion. 

Pluto stations retrograde on May 4th in the sign of Aquarius. It will be at three degrees (11:27AM EDT). 

Pluto in Aquarius has been transforming so many areas of life since it started in April 2023 in the sign of Aquarius. Pluto made its final and permanent stay in Aquarius, leaving the sign of Capricorn, on November 19, 2024, and will remain in Aquarius till 2044. 

If you have Sun, Moon, rising, or planets in Aquarius, you are looking to make adjustments in your life till Pluto stations direct in October 2025. Especially if the planets are in the first three degrees of Aquarius. 

The transformative power of Pluto can be the time to make the greatest changes of your life for the better even thou most humans do not enjoy taking a close look at themselves. A wonderful time for meditation. See my video to learn “Inner Grace Meditation” on my YouTube channel. 

Pluto gathers secret meetings, and this is the time that we will hear news about the Roman Catholic Church leaders gathering in a Conclave or secret meeting to elect a new Pope. They will start to meet on May 7th to vote and the Moon will be bright and waxing into a full Moon on May 12th. 

The good news about Pluto stationing retrograde is it starts a powerful “Minor Grand Trine” which involves the transpersonal planets Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto. 

This combination, Pluto trine to Uranus with both Pluto and Uranus sextile to Neptune, is the most positive influential aspect for 2025, 2026 and 2027 as these three planets will be forming an exact “Minor Grand Trine” a few times between “May 2025 to May 2029”. 

The first exact period for this aspect will be from the second half of July to end of November with August/September 2025 being most fertile. 

The signs most effected are Aquarius, Gemini, and Aries. Downloads from higher dimensions help to guide us here on Earth with advanced technologies (Aquarius) via new communication connections from above (Gemini) that answer many of our prayers and dreams over the past decades (Neptune). 

As Saturn enters Aries on May 24th, this new energy will start to feel like its landing on Earth. 

The “Minor Grand Trine” brings awareness to U.F.O. activities so keep your eyes on the skies during the dates mentioned. Disclosure of U.F.O. files, hopefully all of them, may be a part of this first wave of hidden information, Pluto, to be communicated. 

Mercury moves into the financial sign of Taurus on May 10th. This energy runs till May 25th. Conversations surrounding financial stability continue and Taurus can create stability, so this is good. 

Happy Mother’s Day on May 11th. 

A full Moon on May 12th in the sign of Scorpio at 22 degrees (12:56PM) has tensions in it. 

I think from the new Moon in Taurus on April 27th, new beginnings till the full Moon in Scorpio on May 12th, the completion of the new Moon’s desires, can bring about choices for the opposite signs of Taurus and Scorpio. 

These two signs will evaluate their lives till May 26th when a new and full Moon cycle starts again. 

This can be a wonderful time to bring stability back to the lives of those with the Sun, Moon, rising or planets in Taurus or Scorpio. Taurus is about financial gains, and Scorpio is about calming down financial debt. 

Taurus enjoys earning and saving money. Scorpio borrows money and prays they can pay it back. Scorpio’s can attract a partner that has money to help rescue them from any financial debts. 

This combination of planets from April 27th till May 12th can demand balance in the financial world at large. President Trump will have to make choices that allow a more positive feeling in the American business world, or his rating will go down. The first lady will have to have a talk with him in a private room not the oval office. 

First Lady Melania Trump has her Sun, Moon and rising all in Earth signs. The perfect person who can help the President calm down and learn about patience and steady growth. Let’s pray that conversation can turn the economy back to stability. 

I pray with all my heart and soul that what I am looking at from the new Moon in Taurus to the full Moon in Scorpio can bring peace to the world. This is the time when choices will be made regarding major wars.

Both the new Moon chart on April 27th and the full Moon chart on May 12th, have T-Squares in the fixed signs. Taurus, Leo, Scorpio, and Aquarius are the fixed signs. 

Questions regarding peace deals between the countries at war will be at an all-time high during the period mentioned. Your prayers and mediations or whatever techniques you are using to raise the frequencies are needed more than ever. The full Moon in Scorpio can be explosive. 

Sun moves into Gemini on May 20th. Happy Birthday to the sign of Gemini. 

Saturn moves into the sign of Aries on May 24th and moves towards a conjunction with Neptune in August. If you have Sun, Moon, rising or planets in the sign of Aries in the beginning degrees, you are learning to discipline yourself more, Saturn, instead of acting without thinking. 

This starts a new cycle of energy that could indicate wars calming down. The commander and chief, Saturn, and the sign of Aries are getting tired of fighting at this point. Saturn is in its fall in Aries, so it is weaker than normal. 

Mercury moves into Gemini on May 25th giving those with Sun, Moon, rising or planets in Gemini sharp intellect to clearly communicate any topic of interest. Mercury is the natural ruler of Gemini, so it feels comfortable communicating. This increases the social life of those born under Gemini till June 11th. 

The new Moon on May 26th is in Gemini (11:02PM) at six degrees. With Mercury, Moon, and Sun all in Gemini on this new Moon, Gemini is ready to take off in new directions they may have held back on over the last couple of months. 

This new Moon in Gemini is very relaxed with no T-squares or Yod’s. Uranus, Mercury, Sun and Moon all trine to Pluto in Aquarius shows a frictionless flow of communication that is more personal and deeper (Pluto). This is not the norm for Gemini which keeps conversation on the surface and shy’s away from deep dark conversations which Pluto can bring up. 

These trines make it easier for the signs of Gemini and Aquarius to communicate with anyone in their life they may have had a hard time doing in the past. Opportunities to fulfill desires in all areas of life are in store for the signs of Aries, Gemini, Aquarius, and Taurus. 

It has been tough over the last four months astrologically, but the “Minor Grand Trine” will bring in a new wave of inspirational energies staring on May 4thand having Mercury and Mars out of their retrograde shadows by May 2ndis productive for life moving forward and not feeling stuck. 

By May 15, Venus is out of its retrograde shadow, and this is exceptionally good for the economy to get back on track. 

Keep your heads looking up to the skies as we are moving into a new download version of energies from higher dimensions. I will continue to comment on this wonderful energy as we move into the summer months of 2025. 

Blessings, Lou.
