ASTROLOGY BRIEF for MAY 12-18, 2025

 

“Our unconscious, then, does not believe in its own death; it behaves as if it were immortal. It knows nothing that is negative; in it contradictories coincide. This may be the secret of heroism.” – Sigmund Freud

There’s a sense of totality with the current energy from the Full Moon in Scorpio peaking Monday and ongoing until at least the next New Moon in Gemini on May 26. The concept of totality is change from within and also for the masses as it pertains to the impulse to transform based on something in life that feels intense.  

With Scorpio’s planet ruler, Pluto now in Aquarius forming a strong challenging angle to the Moon as well as Mercury, for many the feeling of unyielding and being stuck in dark waters is strong and influential regarding decisions and how any spare moments are filled with strong ideas and opinions. This is either helpful if you want to purge and release bothersome emotions and things that cause anxiety or there could be those things buried or put on the back burner rise to the surface of consciousness and disturbing. 

Taking a day at a time to work through the well of it all is a part of nurturing and healing. Rest, sleep and quiet contemplation go a long way toward restoring wholeness of your spirit. Recognizing and honoring your own truth is strengthening.

“When one flower blooms, spring awakens everywhere.” – John O' Donohue

“Life isn’t about finding yourself. Life is about creating yourself.” -- George Bernard Shaw

The week leads to the Full Moon in Scorpio peaking next Monday, making this a power packed week of strong energy during which you can make headway, gain ground and implement something significant you’d like to manifest. This is enhanced by Mercury moving into Taurus. Mercury helps to grow especially where you want to secure your life and match your ideals to your lifestyle. The strong rays of Venus and Pluto encourage giving thought to your ideals and values as the reality of their truth and meaning.

The cosmic question isn’t just about what you want but why you want it, helping you to recognize strength as matching your core principles to choices and actions.

Happy May Day

 May Day is an ancient spring festival in the Northern Hemisphere and astronomical plus

astrological, one of the year’s four cross-quarter days – a day that falls between an Equinox and Solstice. May 1 falls between the March Equinox and June Solstice.

The other cross-quarter days are Groundhog Day on February 2, Lammas on August 1 and Halloween on October 31.

May Day is the Celtic festival of Beltane and is the waxing strength of the Sun as we in the Northern Hemisphere moving closer to summer. Celebrations include wrapping a maypole with colorful and in the Middle Ages, English villages these were.

Another tradition was May baskets when people left homemade May baskets filled with spring flowers and sweets on others’ doorsteps, usually in secret without letting it be known who left them. That would be a nice idea for charity to make baskets that included special treats for pets and packets of wildflower seeds to spread a bit of welcome to nature.
