astrological transits
April Showers Bring May, And June Flowers!
The old saying, “April showers bring May flowers,” reminds us that difficult periods can lead to growth and beauty.
For many, April this year truly felt like an emotional downpour, both internally and externally. It was a time of letting go and confronting old wounds or patterns that no longer served a purpose.
While the skies may not have cleared overnight, we are now entering a new chapter. As we move through late May and look ahead to June, a powerful shift is underway—one that brings hope, clarity, and blooming potential.
April is dominated by Aries season and the intensity of its fiery energy. Ruled by Mars, Aries tends to stir things up, fueling restlessness, frustration, and even conflict. This year, many of us felt an even stronger inner drive than usual to move forward, yet we also encountered lingering emotional blocks or unusual external resistance. For many, it was a month of both internal and external battles where old stories resurfaced to be healed or released.
Taurus season followed, overlapping the end of April and the first few weeks of May. Its slower, earthbound rhythm helped us begin to stabilize — but not without first confronting the emotional residue left behind.
Taurus energy urged us to get grounded, reconnect with our values, and take things one step at a time. This helped to soothe some of the turbulence, but it also highlighted areas of life in which we have been too rigid, stuck, or overly attached to our comfort zones.
Astrology Forecast May 19 — 25, 2025
Expect a powerful change of pace this week — starting with a burst of mental electricity, moving through dreamy waters and landing on solid ground.
The cosmos offers us a variety of experiences in the coming days — mental stimulation, spiritual insight, emotional boldness and practical grounding. Stay flexible and attuned, and you’ll navigate these changes with grace.
This week is not just about movement, it is about mindful momentum. Let inspiration flow early in the week, listen to your inner compass midweek, and choose substance over spectacle by the weekend.
With the Moon in Aquarius, fresh ideas and innovative thinking are favored today. It’s a good day to brainstorm, experiment, and embrace out-of-the-box perspectives. However, several tense aspects — the Moon square Mercury, Mars sesquiquadrate Saturn and the Moon semisquare Neptune – can make communication difficult.
Watch out for misunderstandings, impatience, and overly idealistic thinking today. Keep your insights grounded and avoid jumping to conclusions.
The Moon moves into Pisces tomorrow, drawing us inward to spiritual and emotional depths. Intuition is heightened, making this a wonderful time for meditation, creative dreaming, or connecting with your inner world.
Astrology Forecast May 12 — 18, 2025
We begin the week under the intoxicating glow of the Scorpio Full Moon, also known as the Flower Moon — a lunar influence laden with emotional depth, mysticism and transformation.
The energy of Scorpio compels us to explore our hearts and discover what we truly, passionately long for — and this particular full moon dares us to dream the impossible dream. It’s not a time to play small. Think of the wildest, most vibrant vision for your life and then let your emotions stir it into reality.
This full moon has a mirror-like quality — it reflects both what we desire and what may be holding us back from receiving it. Whether it’s fear, doubt or old patterns, now is the time to acknowledge what’s holding you back.
It supports deep emotional alchemy so that we can release the weight and rise into something more powerful. Seek the spiritual insight beneath the surface and remember that transformation begins with the courage to feel it all.
The Flower Moon, symbolic of the power and beauty of spring, also represents rebirth, vitality and creative awakening. Like flowers opening to the sun, our spirit is called to open wide to life. It reminds us to share our gifts, to celebrate growth, and to rejoice in being alive.
It’s about showing up more fully, not only for our own dreams, but also for our community. Generosity, beauty and emotional authenticity are the spiritual mandates of today’s opening energy.
Astrology Forecast May 5 — 11, 2025
The planetary energy this week offers a pause, a moment to breathe, reflect and realign. With no major astrological events making a splash in the cosmos, the focus shifts inward as we process the lessons and experiences that have unfolded so far this year.
This is a week of enlightenment — a time to integrate the wisdom we’ve gathered and step into a new rhythm. Though the outer world may seem quiet, a subtle shift is taking place within, inviting us to nourish ourselves, find balance, and deepen our emotional connections.
The week begins today with a Leo Moon square Uranus in Taurus, which could spark some unexpected emotional turmoil. You may feel torn between your need for stability and your desire for freedom, or find that surprises challenge your sense of security. This may be unsettling at first, but it offers an opportunity to break free from rigid patterns and embrace a more flexible approach.
The Leo Moon also forms a bi-quintile with Venus in Aries, inspiring a burst of creative energy in matters of love and beauty. Your interactions with others could be marked by a sense of playfulness and charm, and you may find that love feels a little more spontaneous than usual. It is a good time to express your affection or to seek out beauty in your surroundings.
However, the Moon’s quincunx with Saturn in Pisces later brings a note of tension. This aspect could highlight the conflict between your emotional needs and your responsibilities, especially in spiritual or creative endeavors. There may be a need to balance practicality with emotional fulfillment, and this may require some compromise. Trust that clarity will come through self-reflection.
Astrology Forecast April 28 — May 4, 2025
This week promises a welcome cosmic breather, except for Pluto beginning its long retrograde motion on Sunday. With no major planetary upheaval until the end of the week, the cosmos offers us space to tend to our inner world, refocus our priorities, and reconnect with our senses.
Today a Taurus Moon invites us to find comfort in routine and reconnect with the tangible. Earthy and practical, this lunar influence is perfect for setting a realistic schedule for the rest of the week, organizing our home and workspace, and taking care of the small but important details we so often overlook.
The day begins with a semi-square between the Moon and Neptune, which can make for a hazy start. Our emotions, in particular, may feel slippery or diffuse. Allow yourself a slower morning, perhaps with grounding rituals like a nourishing breakfast, mindful movement, or even a moment of silence outside with your bare feet on the earth. The Moon’s semisextile to Jupiter will soon help us regain our optimism and encourage us to be open to new ideas.
Later today, the Moon’s quintile to Mars in Leo lights a subtle inner fire — creativity, motivation and confidence flow more easily as we follow our passions. A gentle semi-sextile to Chiron in Aries will support us emotionally through patience and self-acceptance.
As the Moon enters Gemini tomorrow, we may feel more drawn than usual to jump on the information highway. Curiosity will rule and the energetic climate will be ideal for brainstorming, researching, journaling, or sharing your voice with your community — especially through social media.
Astrology Forecast April 21 — 27, 2025
We begin the week under the airy influence of the Aquarius Moon stimulating fresh ideas and innovative ways of solving long-standing problems.
Today and tomorrow inspiration might strike like lightning — seemingly out of nowhere — prompting us to think outside the box and explore new options with curiosity and an open mind. Use this lunar energy to brainstorm, connect with visionary people, or revisit plans that once seemed too far-fetched. They may now be more feasible than you thought.
Early today the Saturn-North Node conjunction in Pisces challenges us to align our spiritual and emotional growth with long-term goals. Karma and soul contracts may be highlighted. Take a moment to consider what you’re really here to build and contribute.
As the day progresses, Lilith in Scorpio forms a bi-quintile with the Node in Pisces, unlocking intuitive insight and untamed emotional wisdom. Don’t be surprised if raw, mystical truths surface, especially in dreams or subtle sensations.
Later today, the Moon in Aquarius makes a series of nuanced aspects: a semisquare to Venus in Pisces can stir tension between our desire for freedom and our longing for connection. A quintile to Chiron in Aries offers a healing insight that helps us find strength in our uniqueness. But a semisquare to the Node and a square to Saturn, both in Pisces, may challenge us to balance innovation with emotional responsibility. You may feel torn between detachment and compassion — trust that both can coexist.
Astrology Forecast April 14 — 20, 2025
As the Sun spends its final days in fiery Aries, we are gifted with one last burst of bold, creative energy. This is the week to initiate what we’ve been hesitating about, take action where we’ve been dreaming, and move forward with courage-even if the path isn’t fully visible yet.
The week begins under a Scorpio Moon, creating an intense and introspective vibe today and tomorrow. We’re motivated to tie up loose ends, especially around emotional or long-term commitments. There’s a desire to dig deep, finish what we started, and make room for what’s next.
But there’s some complexity in the air – early in the day the Moon forms a series of sesquiquadrate connections with Saturn, the North Node, and Mercury in Pisces, stirring up inner tension between what feels emotionally urgent and what makes logical sense.
Later today, Neptune and Mercury join the sesquiquadrate mix, adding an additional layer of emotional fog or miscommunication, so be wary of assumptions. Grant yourself (and others) grace and clarity.
The Moon’s bi-quintile with Jupiter in Gemini offers a spark of insight – an intuitive download or meaningful conversation can help things click into place.
Don’t rush into action today, but watch your reactions. What’s coming up now is trying to take you to a new level of maturity.
Midweek brings a Sagittarius Moon with it a much-needed breath of fresh air. After the intensity of the first days of the week, we will crave a little freedom, fun, and new inspiration. Wednesday and Thursday will be a good time to explore new perspectives, laugh more, and say yes to spontaneity!
