May 18-24, 2025

There is a culminating chaos to the trusted constructs we have grown accustomed to this week. This will suddenly break over the course of the next few weeks and reveal just how necessary it is for us to build brand new foundations to support the future we envision. So much of what has supported us all these years is decaying and disintegrating beneath our feet, so we are being called to level the land and initiate the construction of our new creative legacies. To get there, however, we still have to pay close attention to the ins and outs of daily life and stay connected and compassionate toward our loved ones. With the gravity of these celestial shifts taking place, we can be grateful we are alive to watch everything unfurl on the global stage. As difficult and depressing as that stage may appear to be, everything we can do to brighten the darkness, color the ashes, and sign songs to fill the air will bring love where it needs to be the most.

Pivotal growth experiences usually seem very obvious and blatant, but if we consider our previous growth experiences in hindsight, we will probably notice how subtle they were and how long they played out before we were truly aware of what was happening. Today’s experiences can reflect the kind of growth we are going through at this time in our lives, and there may be a clear indication of the choices we need to make to facilitate it. These choices could quite likely be straddling a fence between risk and opportunity, but if we decide not to take any risks in life, we will more than likely not proceed much further down the road we are on. What is dissolving and what is forming? Let’s listen closely to our hearts!

Moon in Aquarius square Mercury in Taurus

Moon in Aquarius trine Jupiter in Gemini

We want to make progress, we want to feel uplifted, we want something new and exciting! But someone, even ourselves, has something to say about these desires that stirs up doubt and resistance. This obstacle is probably being imposed upon us so we can scrutinize the practicality, lucrativeness, and sustainability of what we want to do. It may seem frustrating and might even upset us, but there is an underlying need for this kind of caution. Sometimes we leap without looking, and while that certainly can be an exciting way of going about change, it is almost always a foolish approach. Today we should heed the messages that seem to be imposing resistance upon us. Not so we can change our minds, but so we are more prepared and conscious of how to proceed intelligently.

Just before we enter Gemini season, there are some final needs we have to meet. Has there been some resistance to our efforts of improvement? Have we crossed a boundary or had someone else cross a boundary? Are there critical rules or steps we have to follow to carry out our plans? These should be carefully considered today before we feel fully prepared to dance the Gemini shuffle. It might be good day to fix up our garden beds, strengthen the trellis, or any other outdoor structural property needs. Summer is upon us in the northern hemisphere, and we might feel like our chores are piling up quickly, so setting out to check our tasks off the list is a good approach to a day like today.

Moon in Pisces sextile Mercury in Taurus

The Taurean influence continues today, perhaps obnoxiously drilling financial and property concerns into our psyches full bore. What are we forgetting? What are we listlessly neglecting to take care of? The Pisces Moon can infuse some drifting escapism into our consciousness, which can lead to trouble if we have been procrastinating things for too long. While today’s sextile between Moon and Mercury may seem workable, there is a stark contrast between these influences. On one hand we are strolling through the woods or along the shore dreaming about where we might go someday, how we feel about something sacred to us, or just feeling the sweetness of the smells and sounds of our surroundings, and on the other hand we are wanting to figure out how much our house is worth, how we can afford rent, or how we are going to sustain our new career. Maybe it is a lesson in how to create a new life that allows us to feel less stress and more serenity.

“See here how everything leads up to this day.” (Robert Hunter) With all of these activations today, there are pivotal conditions to consider in our lives. The condition of our relationships, the condition of our soul’s journey, the condition of our escapism and neglect, and the condition of our determination and will power. If we triple the recipe and pour all of these into our cauldron, the stew will undoubtedly be potent and intoxicating. Therefore, it may be best to approach today one hour at a time. Each successive memo that crosses our proverbial desk should be carefully considered in relation to the other memos that came before and whatever memos we may anticipate to follow. The winds may be shifting in many areas of our lives, so taking things in stride can help us navigate these straits with grace.

Moon in Aries trine Mars in Leo

Moon conjunct Venus in Aries

The coals are stoked, the flames are blazing, and our wheels are on fire today! We are likely going to feel some lack of patience today with others. We want things to get done, to go our way, to finally see the light of day, and others might seem to just get in the way. The heat being put off by our inner fires could probably be dampened and cooled a bit, so any chance we have to swim, walk in the rain, take a cold shower, or even just drinking lots of cold water will help cool our jets. If we are in a relationship, it may be best to spend more of the day alone than together. All of this said, today poses a powerful opportunity to take initiative in a personal endeavor that we may have been neglecting for too long, which we may have been reminded of on Wednesday. We just have to be incredibly mindful not to proceed recklessly or carelessly. Ample consideration should be taken with this initiative.

Our bold initiatives are poised and awaiting the gates to open into the rest of our lives. After years of what may have seemed like glacial progress and a disintegration of what we trusted, as if the rug was pulled out from under us, there is a growing friction and vibration that is humming through the air, coaxing us to go forth and achieve what we can no longer deny are our hopes and dreams. There will still be riddles to solve and recalibrations to come, the lights are changing to green as we speak. Though Saturn’s ingress into tropical Aries beckons all of these calls to proceed, to ensure a more formidable ignition of our initiatives and ambitions, waiting until after the New Moon in Gemini on Monday night would be an ideal time to turn the key.

Many of today’s aspects and celestial transitions have such immense sway to them that we would be hard pressed to not experience a noticeable shift in our lives somewhere over the course of the next few weeks. Whenever Saturn changes signs, change is undeniably afoot, and this time there is such power behind its transition to Aries that reckonings will begin to appear out of the woodwork everywhere we turn. It is time to hold fast to our goals and trust what we know needs to happen. Standing by and waiting for everything to unfold will most certainly get us nowhere.

This is a week that can seem to restrain us and keep us from charging ahead, but eventually those chains will break and the wildness within will be liberated and gloriously set adrift to build new dreams on new soil with new eyes. The cluttered up chaos of the past may not clear up right away, but the more love hard work we put into building those dreams, the more those dreams will come true. We must remember to stay grounded and aware of our financial situation and the feasibility of sustaining that situation. It is no longer adequate to allow such critical aspects of our lives to lapse and be neglected. If we want to laugh and dance more, we have to create sustainable space and time to do so. Let’s go love who we are, what we do, and each other more and more every day!
