This month is going to challenge our adaptability. For some this is a welcomed transformation as they embrace the new energies, rising up with the vibrations of the New Earth. For others, this could be a calling to take risks, to make those changes we need to make even though it’s uncomfortable or to go on a new adventure that both excites us and scares us. Change is inevitable and this month promises change and much needed flexibility. 

We start the month off fresh in the energies of Venus entering Aries on April 30th. When Venus enters Aries, she’s not at her best. Desires can turn selfish, impulsive, reactive and compulsory. You might want to watch your spending habits until June, it’s not easy to save money when Venus is here. However, this is a good time for taking risks in love but do be mindful that you’re playing with fire! 

On the 4th, Pluto will go retrograde until October. The outer planets going retrograde are not typically even felt by the majority of the people but some of you might feel this if you happen to have a personal planet or angle in the first three degrees of Aquarius or if Pluto is prominent in your chart. Wherever Pluto retrogrades in your chart is where you are going back over the themes of letting go and transformation. Check to see which house Aquarius rules in your chart to understand this better. Contact me if you need help figuring this out. 

On the 10th, Mercury enters Taurus for just two short weeks. In Taurus, Mercury is slowed down, communication is more deliberate, careful and practical. It’s not the best for quick witted conversation, but if you have a mental task that requires a slow and practical approach, start it during this time because it won’t be long before Mercury moves on.

On the 12th, we have a Full Moon at 22 degrees of Scorpio and this can be an emotional one! Scorpio Moon has a tendency to bring things up from the depths; secrets, frustrations and intense emotional releasing. The theme is transformation through deep emotional exploration and the psychological release of old patterns. This is an excellent time to do a Full Moon Ritual to release anything that needs to go. If you have a personal planet or angle around 22 degrees of a fixed sign (Scorpio, Leo, Aquarius, Taurus), this one might be a little more personal.  

The energy shifts as the Sun enters Gemini on the 20th. While the Sun is here, solar energies are asking us to be flexible and willing to adapt to new things, ideas and information. Gemini energy reminds us not to get stuck and run the risk of becoming rigid. Like a tree, we must learn to bend with the wind or else we may break. Wherever Gemini is in your chart will show you where you must be adaptable this month. 

On the 24th, Saturn starts a brand new cycle through the zodiac for the next 29 years (roughly) as it enters the first sign of the zodiac, Aries. Any time a planet enters Aries, it starts a new cycle and it can often act as a trigger for events. Saturn will be joining Neptune in Aries who is also fresh into the sign and this can act as a grounding energy for the normally idealistic and floaty energy of Neptune. When Saturn meets Neptune, the visions of Neptune can be realized through the practical and disciplined focus of Saturn. In Aries, this is about new beginnings! Where is Aries in your chart? Now is the time to pay attention to your dreams in this area of your life. Saturn will give you opportunities to give life to your dreams if you are willing to put in the hard work. Saturn will retrograde back through the last degrees of Pisces in July and will return to Aries for good next year, so this is sort of like a preview for next year.

On the 25th, Mercury enters Gemini until June 9th. Mercury is at its best here, it rules this sign. Communication is quickened, information streams in, thought processes are exhilarated. This is an excellent time for learning new things, trying out new ideas and exploring the internet. Although it’s not a deep researcher type of energy, it’s a skimmer of information energy, taking in as much as possible in the fastest way possible. It’s also great energy for get-togethers and small gatherings with friends. Gemini is a very social energy after all!

On the 26th, we have a New Moon in Gemini and the theme of change and adaptability is strong with this one! This is an excellent time for starting something new that requires quick thinking, mental clarity or adaptability. This is a lightning quick energy that can be used to make some changes in your life. Check to see where Gemini is in your chart to see where you can focus your intentions for the following month. 

In numerology, May 2025 is a number 5 Universal Month. A number 5 month is a time of change, freedom, exploration, and adventure. It signifies a period of transformation and the need to embrace new opportunities and experiences. This month encourages flexibility, adaptability, and taking risks, as change and spontaneity are key themes. If you’ve been feeling stagnant in your life, this month will certainly help shake things up whether you want it or not! It’s best not to stay too stuck on anything, be willing to let go of those things (and people) that need to go. You’re making room for something new! On the world stage, this could mean some big changes are coming and the theme of freedom is growing stronger so I’m curious to see what this will mean. Hang on to your hats.

The best advice I can give is for you to focus on your ability to change your own life for the better and to take those chances for improvement now. As for the rest of the world…give yourself some space. We can’t control the world, but we can control our responses to it. If you don’t like what you are seeing out there in the world, your energy is best used in supporting the things you want to see more of rather than resisting the things you don’t want. If you fight what you do not want, you are actually feeding it more power due to the natural law of magnetic attraction. It is a real metaphysical law of this universe and essentially it says, like attracts like.

Your power as a creative force goes to whatever you focus on - whether positively or negatively! If you don’t feel good while you focus, guess what is happening? That thing (or person) you are focused on is actually taking your power! So be careful how you focus and start caring more about your inner peace. That is the only way to find yourself in the timeline that matches your heart’s desire. It's simple but it isn’t easy. It’s really worth it though. Care about yourself, care about your inner peace and take your power back. You’ll feel a whole lot better, I guarantee it. 

I hope you have a good month and if you need any guidance, come see me and Brandon. We are here mostly just on the weekends now but we’re here for you if you need any help finding your peace or just an ear to listen. Be well and as always…

May the stars guide you,
