May 2025

On the one hand, May is a month of major change, while on the other hand, it is a month of transition or waiting. You can sense that the dynamics of the year so far are changing and you can sense even bigger changes ahead, but they are yet to settle into their new pattern. On several fronts, those changes are already underway and especially when it comes to a major shift from the adventurous to the professional side of life's fence. However, the biggest shift and the one with the more personal impact is entering a state of limbo or of waiting, like a caterpillar in its cocoon, waiting to emerge as a butterfly, as one 12 year Jupiter cycle of expansion draws to a close and the next is about to begin.

Jupiter won't return to Cancer until 10th June to begin a year of major new beginnings, but as Mars' longest visit in two decades only ended last month, this has left you with time to ponder the things you are passionate about and what you might want this new chapter to hold. Meanwhile, while it is a given that the Sun, Venus and Mercury will move through your sector of adventure, travel, learning and discovery and then return to your career sector each year, the long term planets in those areas haven't changed, until now. It was at the end of March that, in an adventurous part of your chart since 2012, Neptune, the planet of hopes and dreams left and returned to your career sector for the first time in 150 years.

As you move into the new month, while Venus will make that shift on 1st May, Saturn will remain steadfast, as he has been since returning to your sector of adventure, travel, learning and discovery in March 2023. However, on 25th March, he too will leave, leaving this adventurous part of your chart empty for the first time since 2010 while joining the growing groundswell of planets in your career sector. This comes as the dynamics of the year itself are shifting, with Pluto turning retrograde in your financial sector on 5th May and taking money matters into review mode, just as in his first full month in your income sector, Mars is firing up the income side of the financial fence.
