Daily Astrological Forecast, May 1–16, 2025
Make a new start—in romance, creativity, compassion or spiritual connections.
Moon’s morning quincunx to determined Pluto triggers courage and determination to get to the bottom of something. We can do shadow or forgiveness work, or research something related to freedom.
Today’s numerology of 1 lends dynamism to the Moon in sensitive Cancer. This is a boost she can use, considering her morning tensions to psychic Neptune and intense Pluto which increase her already strong intuition but also fuel introversion.
The combination favors psychic and spiritual activities, engaging in therapy, journaling and channeling.
Venus is in orb of a conjunction to Neptune. In Pisces, their encounter fuels compassion, creativity, heart power and romance. Whether in relationships, creative work or spiritual or media activities, charm overflows.
Invocation: Guardian Angel, please direct me to act in resonance with my heart path, here, now and always.
Friday, May 2
There’s strength in connections.
Moon in Cancer rules today’s numerology of 2, favoring family connections and activities that nurture connection and positive growth.
Sweet Venus perfects a conjunction to compassionate Neptune, a romantic coupling that brings charm and beauty to interactions, to our minds, and in spiritual activities. We might go on a romantic escapade or a spiritual retreat.
However, not everything’s cushy and sweet. Fresh out of his recent opposition to Mars, Pluto the powerful is stationing to retrograde. We are engaged with situations that seem to affront our power. We can call on the angels/guides to help stay centered in harmony and avoid getting engaged. We can effectively pour our passion into our creativity, spiritual practice, and connections that are already harmonious.
This is a great night to stay up late or even through the night. At 10:06 pm (1:06 am ET), Moon in fertile Cancer sextiles Uranus in abundant Taurus, precipitating opportunities in relation to finance, spiritual healing, or business. At 1:02 am (4:02 ET), Moon trines constructive Saturn; we can organize our spiritual lives, our healing practice, or something that combines intuition with practicality.
Affirmation: Spirit is present in this situation, generating good here and now.
Saturday, May 3
Get your inner bearings and make connections early, while the day is angelic and before it becomes intense.
At 4:29 am (7:29 ET), Moon enters passionate Leo, moving to make morning trines to sweet Venus and creative Neptune, both in enthusiastic Aries. These aspects combine with today’s numerology of 3—ruled by Venus—to make morning great for warm and generous connections with people, with a spotlight on romance, spirituality, compassion and creativity.
At 11:25 am (2:25 pm ET), the tone takes a sharp turn as sensitive Moon joins warrior Mars and moves on to oppose mob boss Pluto, who happens to be stationing retrograde! We feel like fighting for our home, country, or someone in need of protection.
However, this aspect is low on emotional intelligence and can best be used for independent activities like starting a petition or decluttering our home or work space, or pushing through perfectionism to finish a creative project. Avoid direct confrontation.
The tension continues as Moon moves to oppose Pluto at 5:15 pm (8:15 ET). This is still not a good time for confrontation, although we can do great armchair activism, write a letter to Congress, work on spiritual healing, or take back the reins of something we’ve been fighting for since early November.
Affirmation: I am not alone or without support. The forces of love are with me, bringing forth whatever support I need, here and now.
Sunday, May 4
This is an intense and creative day.
At 6:52 am (9:52 ET), Pluto’s station to retrograde perfects, triggering key revelations. We can retrieve hidden information and reconnect with the path of empowerment we’ve been working on, a path that has felt challenged since early last November when the godfather planet took the first of three oppositions from warrior Mars.
There’s a sense of going back to face whatever needs to be faced and doing what we came for. (See our May General Influences for more on this important transit.) Pluto’s station gives a dramatic tone to today’s First Quarter Moon, exact at 6:52 am (9:52 ET), a lunation that invites us to pause and review the intentions we set at last week’s New Moon in Taurus, and also review our progress.
At 14-15 Leo, the Sabian symbol for today’s lunation says:
A PAGEANT, WITH ITS SPECTACULAR FLOATS, MOVES ALONG A STREET CROWDED WITH CHEERING PEOPLE. The more or less sensational release of energies in a form dramatizing the unconscious aspirations of [humankind’s] primitive and instinctual nature… The street pageant, perhaps a tumultuous carnival, brings men and women to a peak of emotional excitement, and perhaps incandescence. But the pageant had to be planned carefully by individual minds that sought to express themselves in the process of giving a concrete form to the desires and expectations of the collective crowd. The theatricality of the Leo type is fully expressed here… the mind of the individual is able to give a public DEMONSTRATION of his[/her] ability to sway the multitudes by a dramatic presentation of popularized ideals.
News about survival issues as well as sensual energies and publications may distract us. It may require some effort to maintain our own path of power and take independent action.
Starting at 8:14 pm (11:14 ET), Moon´s harmonies to Mercury and a bit later to Jupiter, make nighttime great for communication, sales, promotion, teaching, and getting the word out.
Affirmation: I invite Spirit to use my talents in Its perfect, divine plan, here and now.
Monday, May 5
The early hours are high on bravado but perhaps low on emotional intelligence. Things get easier a bit later, giving us an afternoon of powerful, expansive connections.
Today’s numerology of 5, ruled by Mars, makes us want to get something done, and Moon in confident Leo feels like she can. However, at 6:03 am (9:03 ET), Luna goes VOC on a square to Uranus in fixed Taurus. We’re better off doing art therapy, reading fiction, or taking in a romantic flic… and saving key actions and contacts for after 1:40 pm (3:40 ET), when Moon enters productive Virgo.
Now things get exciting! Moon’s bright ruler, Mercury, perfects a sextile to expansive Jupiter; sweet Venus approaches a sextile with powerhouse Pluto. This combo triggers potent, abundant, and transformative connections. We can make headway in finance, promotion, service, communications, even love. Knock on key doors—they can lead to important new beginnings.
Virgo Moon can be self-critical and reticent; push yourself to share and use this afternoon’s great energies.
Invocation: Angels and Spirit Guides, please direct me to share in appropriate ways for the current phase of my life, here and now.
Tuesday, May 6
Good fortune, practical progress and positive transformation in relationships.
Today can be a turning point, as Venus perfects her sextile to regenerative Pluto. She triggers opportunities for intense, powerful relationships that are apt to be passionate and can be life-changing. They may be in romance, work, finance, or creativity; or we can deepen existing ties with friends. The relationship can be with ourselves, healing our confidence so we can move on courageously. In the light of Pluto’s recent station and the opposition he took from Mars, the connections can relate to a new, more empowering phase of activism and of firmness in our authentic path.
Moon in Virgo gives a humble, productive background to today’s energies, spotlighting practical headway, organization, service and diligence.
At 8:50 pm (11:50 ET), Moon trines Sun, fueling confidence and emotional connection. With Moon in Virgo and Sun in Taurus, the trine also supports abundance, work and stability.
Ruled by Jupiter, today’s numerology of 6 brings a shield of protection.
Affirmation: We are not alone or without protection, our Divine Guardian watches over us and shields us, now and always.
Wednesday, May 7
Knowledge and communication support positive change in finance, work, activism, and connections.
Still on the portal of yesterday’s Venus-Pluto sextile, Moon in Virgo strengthens connections that somehow empower us.
Like the Virgo Moon, today’s numerology of 7 is ruled by Mercury and favors analysis, writing, study, intuition and gathering information.
Other aspects support these abilities and expand them to communicate and inspire. Moon makes a morning square to Jupiter, expanding intuition, fueling inspiration, and adding charisma to our words. This afternoon, Luna connects with ruler Mercury the messenger, followed by a wonderful trine to innovative Uranus at 5:30 pm (8:30 ET), the day’s crowning influence. It strengthens us to take practical action (Moon in Virgo) in new or daring directions for finance, manifestation and ideals (Uranus in Taurus ruling Pluto in Aquarius).We can release perfectionism and take that step.
Reach out, share ideas, connect, and move before 9:11 pm (12:11 am ET), when Moon goes VOC.
Invocation: Angels and goddesses of wisdom, please direct me in good work, without excessive perfectionism, now and always.
Thursday, May 8
A mystical morning followed by high energy connections. Courageous action leads to progress.
At 12:06 am (3:06 ET), Moon enters affable Libra.
Luna makes a wee-hour opposition to psychic Neptune in Aries, the sign ruling the head. We can have a strong, mystical experience, like telepathic contacts with people or with angels in dreams, or a spontaneous activation of the pineal gland. If we’re up for it, we can connect with Michael, the angelic hero, or write letters to light beings.
Today’s numerology of 8 supports abundant results from our focused efforts, while Moon’s trine to powerful Pluto brings confidence, empowering contacts, and a potential for headway in finance, research or spiritual healing.
Socializing goes best after 10:22 am (1:22 pm ET), when Moon opposes ruler Venus. This is a sweet, creative, romantic aspect and with Venus in hot Aries, can be passionate and assertive, especially favoring connections that are sexy or dynamic. Remember to be tactful.
At 7:07 pm (10:07 ET), the excitement continues as Moon sextiles Mars. We get opportunities for passion, and for connections with someone who opens doors—a coach, leader, promoter, authority, boss, director, manager, an instigator, or someone with strong masculine energy. Knock and it shall be opened.
Affirmation: I am not alone with my opportunities or challenges. My divine representative goes before me and supports my progress, now and always.
Friday, May 9
We can recharge our batteries, do spiritual study, and work on transmutation and altruistic activities.
Moon in charming Libra facilitates connection, but today’s numerology of 9 brings a deep, low-key kind of energy that prefers inner activity or altruism.
Create a space for relaxation, work on something involving justice, deepen and share knowledge or talents, volunteer, make a donation, express thanks to a teacher or spiritual guide, pray for world peace, transmute beliefs.
Make key connections and take important action before 11:17 pm (2:17 am ET), when Moon goes VOC.
Affirmation: I give thanks for the spiritual guidance received and for the new guidance that’s coming, here and now.
Saturday, May 10
Moon in Scorpio and today’s numerology of 1, the leadership number, infuse us with extra initiative between 1:00 and 5:15 pm (4pm – 8:15 pm ET).
This morning, Moon is VOC in Libra. In the meantime, at 5:15 am (8:15 ET), Mercury the messenger makes his ingress to earthy Taurus. Use this creative Venusian combination to enjoy nature, art, beauty or a relaxed brunch, or to read for pleasure.
Save key actions and contacts for after 12:58 pm (3:58 ET), when Moon enters bold, deep Scorpio. We get much of this afternoon to apply the dynamic numerology of 1 and take strong initiatives, work on goal accomplishment, lease or rent property, make a major deal or a life-changing decision, or sign documents.
Choose, focus and act before 5:15 pm (8:15 ET), when Moon begins a series of tensions, starting with an opposition to Mercury the messenger, followed by a quincunx to psychic Neptune and a square to ruler Pluto. These aspects trigger the mysterious, challenging side of Scorpio Moon. Connections are not so easy, except those we make with angels and with our deep selves as we work on healing, release, forgiveness and transmutation. We can also journal and focus on decluttering or research.
Affirmation: The power that is within me is greater than any power of the world, and I give it the attention it deserves, here and now.
Sunday, May 11
An intense day with a nice window for connections this morning.
On the portal of tomorrow’s Full Moon in Scorpio, today’s energies are intense and potentially transformative. Thanks to an early contact from Moon to sweet Venus, the first part of the day favors connections. They can be spiritual, romantic, lustful, financial or therapeutic.
At 10:39 am (1:39 ET), Moon squares Mars in brave Leo, fueling feistiness. After this aspect, independent creative work is best, since there’s a potential for stubbornness and tough encounters. Take extra care while driving or using machines, and save confrontation and competition for another day. We’re apt to feel challenged, and can use the energy to prepare or plan something that will move us forward.
This evening, we can clean the shed or oven, watch an action movie, or do emotional healing, light exercise, or decluttering. Get rid of what you don’t use. When handling sharp objects, be mindful.
As for spiritual practice, today’s numerology of 11 favors heart centered meditation and mantras. For angels, this date is a portal to use humans’ love vibrations and with them lift the planetary frequency. Such energy will also help offset the Moon-Mars tensions. Using pink crystals and lighting a pink candle support this harmony.
Affirmation: The angels of love fill my world and connect me in harmony to all others, here and now.
Monday, May 12
There’s tension in the air, and we want to keep our mental balance. But revelations, decisions, and actions can bring breakthroughs. Keep moving.
Today’s Full Moon in Scorpio helps consolidate change. Exact at 9:56 am (12:56 pm), it fuses masculine and feminine energies in one of the strongest lunations of the year. (Known as the Flower or Dyad Moon, see more about its particular magic in our May General Influences.)
With ruler Pluto newly retrograde, today’s focus of change is something we’ve been working on before. With Pluto, planet of power, in Aquarius, the process relates to our authentic, evolutionary, and free direction. If you’ve felt challenged to move on your path, to consolidate the part you have to play in our times, this lunation can boost you forward.
In the chart for this lunation, Moon’s dispositor Uranus is conjunct Sun, facilitating release of limitations. Mercury forms a perfect square with ruler Pluto, triggering a T-square with Mars, bringing hidden information into stark view. And charming Venus is in trine to passionate Mars, lighting a flame of attraction in romance and in connections of all kinds. On the one hand, there’s an almost severe impulse to break free, and on the other, a potential for effective collaboration.
Challenging words, revelations, or communications can add impulse to a decision or a route of action.
Thanks to an afternoon aspect from Moon to Jupiter, communication outlets can be renewed. We can get the word out, motivate someone or promote a cause, product or service.
Get things done before 7:35 pm (10:35 ET), when Moon opposes dispositor Uranus; interactions could get explosive. Faith healing can bring miracles. At 11:37 pm (2:37 ET), Moon goes VOC.
At 22-23 Scorpio, the Sabian symbol for today’s Full Moon says:
A RABBIT METAMORPHOSES INTO A NATURE SPIRIT… The raising of animal drives to a higher level. The rabbit is traditionally a symbol of an overabundance of progeny, thus of a great stress on procreative and sexual processes. “Nature spirits,” on the other hand, represent the higher aspect of life energies, as they are said to guide those normally invisible forces controlling the growth of all living organisms, particularly in the vegetable kingdom. Thus the symbol refers to the transmutation of the generative power into a more ethereal and subtle form of potency. Whether it is the sexual desire for a progeny, or aggressiveness, the instinctual urge can be raised to a new level. The course can become subtle through a process of TRANSUBSTANTIATION.
Affirmation: I release my desires to Spirit, so that they be put to the highest and best use, here and now.
Tuesday, May 13
We can dream and act constructively.
Today’s numerology of 4 relates to sustained effort and fuels our impulse to build.
At 1:35 am (4:35 ET), Moon enters expansive Sagittarius. Her morning trine to dreamy Neptune fuels empathy, romance, intuition and compassion. We can interpret our dreams, focus on spirituality, visualize, follow up on yesterday’s Full Moon magic, promote something, consult angels and spirit guides, and make sweet connections.
Things get dynamic at 9:11 am (12:11 pm ET), when Moon sextiles Pluto, ruler of yesterday’s still-active lunation. It feels easier to act with courage. We can make a breakthrough, especially in trade, promotional activities, education, a legal matter, lending or borrowing money, something requiring diplomacy or something involving foreign cultures, business or travel. Knock on a key door.
Starting at 7:48 pm (10:48 ET), Moon’s trine to Venus facilitates happy, expansive connections. We can throw a party, go on a date, have fun, work on correspondence, meet new people, socialize or take in one of several major sports activities that are scheduled for May.
Affirmation: I give thanks for my present good and bless it with multiplying power, here and now!
Wednesday, May 14
A wave of courage triggers action and adventure.
Today’s restless numerology of 5 and Moon in Sagittarius, sign of exploration, put feet on the Full Moon portal. A wee-hour trine from Moon to Mars in bold Leo stokes the fires of courage and enthusiasm.
We can take strong action, particularly in these areas related to the Full Moon portal and today’s Sag influence:
- Travel
- Take a seminar
- Work on trade, data retrieval or the attainment of a long-overdue answer.
- Promote something
- Hold a business meeting
- Lend or borrow money
- Go back to school
Affirmation: I invite the Christ Mind to serve and prosper through me, here and now.
16Thursday, May 15
We can enjoy morning connections and this afternoon, independent work focused on intuition, creativity, biology or compassion.
Yesterday’s advice still applies, while today’s light, fortunate numerology of 6 also favors socializing, or sharing brunch or another fun, group activity.
Moon goes VOC at 11:29 am (2:29 pm ET). Take a break until she reenters Capricorn at 12:58 pm (3:58 ET).
At 3:55 pm (6:55 ET), Moon squares sensitive Neptune. Involving directive Capricorn and assertive Aries, this usually compassionate aspect may be a bit prickly. Inspiration is strong but we may feel overly perfectionist or confused. If necessary, we can pause, breathe deeply, and ask our angels or intuition for guidance. We can organize a creative project, our spiritual practice, or something related to empathy, water, biology, or distant cultures.
Affirmation: I give thanks for the positive spiritual forces that fill my light path, now and always.
Friday, May 16
This morning, people connections go well, while afternoon is best for independent activities involving finance, documents, and organizing information.
Moon in solid Capricorn makes a morning harmony with Mercury in abundant Taurus and connects with sweet Venus. Contacts and communications go well for business, finance, socializing, real estate, and romance of the stable sort.
Today’s numerology of 7 spotlights cognition, and favors study, communications, and gathering information. At 2:37 pm (5:37 ET), Moon makes a contact to Mars, triggering her colder, more practical side. For the rest of the afternoon and evening, we can focus on independent, practical activities that relate to information and ideas like:
- Putting things in order
- Working overtime
- Organizing documents, investments or an area of one´s life that’s become scattered or disrupted
- Setting down rules or guidelines
Affirmation: I call on the Angels of Saturn to align me with positive effort and order, here and now.
