Weekly Forecast: May 19-23, 2025 – Enjoying The Moment

This week, three planets change sign: the Sun on Tuesday (Taurus to Gemini), then Saturn and Mercury on the weekend (Pisces/Aries, Taurus/Gemini). During the course of the week, the Sun preps the way with a spiritually solid path (sextile Saturn), an unfolding vision for action (sextile Neptune), and the power to lead (trine retro Pluto).

Monday’s Uranus-ruled Aquarius Moon mood still carries and matches the electrified influence of the weekend’s Sun-Uranus conjunction. The Moon squares Taurus Mercury, sextiles Aries Chiron, then trines Jupiter in Gemini. There’s a tendency to breeze past details that don’t fit the narrative, even something as important as clashes in values. However, if you’re willing to face the truth, there’s plenty of opportunity to course correct and capitalize on finding meaning the process. Learning leads to joy.

One rallying factor is Aries Venus’ continued trine to Mars in Leo. This longer term, fiery aspect of ease applies through Friday morning, and we’ll miss it as it recedes. It doesn’t make things easy, but it makes taking that first step doable — and maybe even fun. Feeling good about ourselves for making the effort is one great hallmark that encourages growth.

Monday night, the Aquarius Moon squares Uranus and the Sun, exact overnight, and the Sun perfects its square to Saturn early Tuesday. The mood pushes hard on the sail, but the rudder holds the course. Expect gusty mood conditions, but don’t compromise your standards for momentary issues.

Once those gusts are past, on Tuesday the Moon moves to Pisces and passes through the midpoint of retro Pluto sextile Aries Neptune; intensity saturates the mood with creative drive. This peaks as the Sun moves to airy Gemini and Mercury’s rulership.

Taurus Mercury’s influence is our wild card this week as it opposes Scorpio Juno (exact early Thursday) and squares Aquarius Pallas (exact early Friday), a t-square pitting intelligence against impulse and intensity. Pay attention to the passions that flame you out, the ones that pull you into self destructive patterns of thought and threaten your peace. We’re making a map, and a map without pitfalls is just a paper placemat at a child-friendly diner. Awareness is key.

On Wednesday, the Moon continues in Pisces, in sextile to Mercury and trine to Juno, exact by the time the Venus-Mars trine peaks in the night. When you move with the current, it doesn’t feel like work. The emotional current excels in flow activities and co-working. If you’re having trouble with direction or getting started, find a friend (or love) to include — even if they’re imaginary (music, audiobook, daydreams). Fall in line with what feels good, and doing good comes naturally.

Thursday morning, the Sun sextiles Neptune as the Pisces Moon sextiles Uranus then conjoins Saturn. Jump right in, the water’s fine! Follow your intuition and impulsive craving as caution is already built in for safety. Sometimes doing trumps explaining, and this is one of those times. Show rather than tell: When the Moon moves to Mars-ruled Aries, it conjoins Neptune then goes on to sextile the Sun and Pluto — covering the midpoint of their building trine. We can feel when we’re on the right path, gaining strength through emotional, mental, and physical epiphanies. That sounds grand, but sometimes things just “feel right.” Subtle success like this grows and ingrains confidence. If you’re not feeling the confidence, retreat a soft distance till you find your groove.

On Friday, the Aries Moon trines Mars and conjoins Venus. The Venus-Mars trine is past exact, but the mood highlights its ongoing influence. Keep the party going where you can, and use that momentum to reach and explore even more satisfying avenues. The path is evolving. The evening Moon sextiles Pallas; emotional intelligence delights in unexpected insights.
