Welcome to the month of May, with its energies of divine creativity and enlightenment. We begin the month with May Day /Beltane the fire festival of early summer. This is a celebration of fertility, honouring the union ofthe May Queen and the Green Man as nature bursts into bloom. The sap is rising,and the fire of creativity is strong. As the sacred masculine unites with the feminine, new life is created.


The Sun is in Taurus, and the focus is on steady practical work, return to nature, self-care, and appreciation of beauty in all its forms. With Mercury and Venus in Aries, there is a sense of being driven, with fast communications and passionate creative energy emerging. The combination of Aries and Taurus energy can help you to achieve great things. Mars in Leo brings flamboyant masculine energy into the mix, as Mars moves fully direct after his long retrograde phase and period of inner masculine healing.You may be feeling a new, healed masculine energy in your life, rising in creativity and union with the feminine.


We are still feeling the Mars Pluto opposition which was exact on 26 - 27 April, bringing a sense of pressure and tension. The square to the Sun in Taurus is causing you to focus on your purpose in a more determined way. This pressure will lessen as we progress through the first week of May.


We are still being influenced by the mighty North Node, Saturn, Venus, Neptune conjunction in late Pisces /early Aries. This alignment has a fated, karmic quality, and can help you to step into your soul destiny and purpose, with the right group of souls.


4 May: Pluto goes retrograde: the planet of death, rebirth and transformation goes into retrograde motion. This marks a subtle shift for your inner life and the collective. Pluto transits can ruthlessly rip things out of your life until you listen to the guidance of your soul. In retrograde,the transformations become more internally focused, and you may be asked to review your healing progress. Do not be tempted to take things back into your life that you know are harmful – this is a test.


10 May: Mercury enters Taurus: communications become slower and more measured. Thoughts turn to practical realities, and how you can make things work on the material level. This is a great time to express beautiful art, appreciate music, and take some time to be sensual or romantic.


12 May:: Full Flower Moon 22* Scorpio Wesak Moon @17.55 GMT

This powerful full moon illuminates the sign of Scorpio, bringing light to the shadows. This is the sacred moon of the Buddha and the festival of Wesak. The full moon is opposite Uranus, bringing unpredictable or enlightening events. A trine to Saturn in Pisces helps you to navigate obstacles smoothly.


18 May: Sun Uranus conjunction 27* Taurus (influence from13 – 23 May)

This influence will dominate the middle of May. When the Sun conjuncts Uranus, major energies of enlightenment pour forth. The stream of energy from Uranus brings awakening and powerful changes, through high vibration electromagnetic energy that can help you to align with your higher purpose.


20 May: Sun enters Gemini: the energy shifts from fixed earth to mutable air. There is a sense of freedom of movement, like a butterfly, as we seek to circulate and communicate. You may feel the urge to talk to many different people, and learn something new every day. This is a powerful time to communicate your message, and tune into thoughts from your higher mind.


20 – 21 May: Pleiades Portal: (influencing us between 17 - 24May)

On these days the Sun aligns with the Pleaides star cluster at 29* Taurus and 0* Gemini. This opens up a portal to Pleiadean energy. The Seven Sisters are sacred stars with a powerful influence on humanity. Our sun spirals around Alcyone, the central sun of this part of the galaxy.


25 May: Saturn enters Aries and moves towards conjunction with Neptune

This is a major shift for the collective, as Saturn changes sign from nebulous Pisces to dynamic Aries, where it will remain for the next two and a half years. Saturn is the planet of discipline, responsibility and karma. It reveals your blocks, and where you need to be stronger. Saturn in Aries demands that you take the initiative and act on your inner guidance. Bold actions are favoured, but ONLY if they are completely in alignment. Any shortcuts or lack of integrity will quickly backfire.


Saturn is moving into an exact conjunction with Neptune, newly in Aries, and this is the major aspect of 2025. It speaks of dissolving boundaries, being strong yet receptive, acting from your experience and authority, and at the same time being guided by soul.


26 May: Mercury enters Gemini and communications become scintillating, conversations flowing like air with many words and ideas being shared. Many new insights may be given and received, with Mercury strong in its own sign.


27 May: New Moon 6* Gemini @04.02 GMT

The New Moon is conjunct Mercury in Gemini, trine Pluto in Aquarius, sextile Neptune & Saturn in Aries. The New Moon in Gemini has powerful aspects which can bring deep insights, illuminating reflections, and genius ideas. If you are in a tough situation, answers are at hand when you contemplate in the stillness.


All in all this is a powerful and sacred month full of new life and new possibilities. If you would like to book an astro consult or healing session with me you are welcome to get in touch!
