Monthly General Astrology Forecast May 2025
Make love – not the reverse
Words and ideas have wings
Happy birthday, Gemini!
Out with the old. In with the new. There’s no stopping this over the upcoming months. We have another major planetary shift this month. The 25th sees Saturn enter Aries. Planets clear retroshade. And we are all called on to establish something new and lasting for ourselves. Action must be balanced with responsibility and self-control. We need to move ahead with confidence. But also understanding that stepping up goes hand in hand with taking responsibility. There’s no passing the buck or blaming others. Be prepared to say ‘I did this’ – and own it. Hopefully in a way that hands you well-earned triumph, pride and self-respect. As well as validation from others.
Always explore all the potential long term consequences of what you do. Yes, this is Newton’s Third Law. For every action, there is an equal and opposite one. Despite Neptune also at an early degree of Aries, the two planets won’t meet in here until early next year. This is due to their upcoming retrogrades and both planets returning to Pisces. What we will see this month, is the first meeting between Venus and Neptune in Aries (2nd). Venus encountered Neptune twice during its retro cycle in Pisces. But this third meeting is very different. It’s important for all of us to harness our desire to bring about a solution that’s best for all in any situation. Empathy, the capacity to see where the other party is coming from, to go deeper – these are the skills we all need during Neptune’s passage through Aries.
The last time Neptune moved through the sign of warrior intent was 1861-1875. This coincided with the American Civil War. Hopefully we have now moved past resolving our differences via conflict. The Venus/Neptune meeting asks we apply empathy, love and a desire for peace to any issue. And also yes, keep one eye on what our choices add up to over the long term. Saturn tells us in the end, there’s no escaping responsibility for these.
Wilfully insisting on a course of action – even when its pointed out it will do us no good, or else taking a ‘My way or the highway’ approach solves nothing. Which is when Venus can trip into make war instead of love. Don’t let your pride get in the way of coming together or crafting a beautiful resolution on the 22nd when Venus aligns to Mars, ruler of Aries in Leo.
Happy birthday to all Geminis! Expect big shifts and radical changes especially around your look, face, profile, appearance, brand, message and how you are viewed and seen. You may already be in the process of a makeover or big rebrand by the time the Sun reaches your sign (20th). Uranus will be making its entrance to your sign shortly. And bring you a revolution in not just how others see you. But how you see yourself. Jupiter will also leave you next month. But the good news is that you are likely to see your income increase or unlock the door to a new home in the next 12 months. Perhaps due to innovation when it comes to your own ideas.
This month Luna has a pivotal role to play. And if you have either Taurus or Scorpio factors in your chart, play it safe with your money on the 12th when the full Flower Moon appears in Scorpio. It falls close to an opposition to Uranus in Taurus. The full Moon at 22 Scorpio. Uranus at 26 Taurus. We may see more volatility in the financial markets as a result of this. These forecasts are not designed to give you financial advice. These are yours to make. Or in conjunction with a financial adviser. But they are designed to raise your awareness of potential issues ahead. On a personal note, we should look at whether we are allowing our worth or judgements around others to be dictated by financial status. Do you feel less ‘worthy’ than others because they earn or have more? This full Moon can be harnessed to reset those real values if needed. And move towards an abundant, growth mindset. Blossom, dear one!
Next comes the new supermoon in Gemini on the 27th. New supermoons are what I like to call ‘secret’ supermoons as unlike full supermoons, we cannot see them. However, they are loaded with potential. Especially ideas and news in the sign of communication. The new moon appears close to Gemini’s ruler Mercury, and trines retrograde Pluto in Aquarius. This is no time for any of us to sit on those ideas. Take your message to the masses. This can see your social media feed lit. And there’s no better new moon under which to send that application, pitch or proposal winging out there. To launch that new venture or start that conversation. But whatever you share, say or send out, say it with love and higher truth. And that’s what you’ll receive back in reply.
In a nutshell: Higher love and higher truths combined with a creative and empathic approach should be what we all reach for as Venus and Neptune intertwine in Gemini. If you come from this place – you’ll love the results. Birthday sign of Gemini begins a new cycle innovating their look. Turns out what we say, share or send out, has a way of winging its way back to us this May.
