A New Cycle of Perspective and Value
May marks a turning point as we step into a new cycle of learning, communicating, and re-evaluating what we genuinely value. With major planetary shifts, especially Jupiter’s move into Gemini and the Rahu/Ketu axis change, we begin an 18.5-month journey of redefining truth, validation, and how we relate to universial ideals versus personal ideas. Finances, stability, and self-worth are recurring themes, pushing us to explore not just what feels good but what sustains us. Use this month to align your mind, speech, and habits with deeper values rather than fleeting desires.
May 7 – Mercury enters Aries
Mercury travels quickly through the beginning of the zodiac, bringing in a rush of new ideas, communications, and messages. The thinking mind is action-oriented but influenced by debilitated Mars, which can lead to overstimulation or opinionated speech. Stay mindful not to let impatience or impulsivity overpower clear, respectful communication.
May 11 – Full Moon in Libra
This Full Moon invites reflection on relationships and expectations. Ask yourself: Do I feel valued or taken advantage of? This moment shines a light on the balance (or imbalance) in how we give and receive within partnerships and social dynamics.
May 15 – Jupiter enters Gemini | Sun enters Taurus | Moon in Sagittarius
Mid-month brings a big energy shift:
Jupiter in Gemini (aspecting Libra, Sagittarius, and Aquarius) amplifies curiosity, learning, and mental stimulation. It invites us to ask: How does our knowledge shape our perspective?
Moon in Sagittarius, opposite Jupiter, brings emotional focus to belief systems and the information we consume.
Sun joins Uranus in Taurus, with Saturn’s aspect adding pressure and purpose. This combination illuminates our finances, comfort zones, and attachments—especially those that feel pleasurable but may not be sustainable. Saturn demands courage and steady effort to break unhelpful patterns and pursue more grounded sources of stability.
May 23 – Mercury enters Taurus
Communication begins to slow down and settle. This is a time when new skills and habits may begin to take root. But beware of becoming too attached to a specific mindset or outcome—flexibility will help you grow without clinging.
May 26 – New Moon in Taurus (Exalted)
This exalted New Moon initiates a new cycle of stability, wealth, and inner security. The Taurus lunation highlights the 2nd and 8th house axis, encouraging us to build resources and hold onto what is truly valuable without forming emotional attachments that stem from fear of loss. Over the next two weeks, your capacity to handle change can increase as you create systems and routines that bring peace of mind.
May 29 – Rahu enters Aquarius | Ketu enters Leo
A hugely karmic shift begins, setting the tone for the next 18.5 months.
Rahu in Aquarius will push you to engage with society, explore innovation, and question how you fit into the collective narrative.
Ketu in Leo helps you detach from ego-driven validation and return to your Soul’s authentic expression. This axis of Truth and Validation invites inner alignment and the release of performative tendencies.
May 31 – Venus enters Aries
Themes of self-love and appreciation come into focus. There’s a strong desire to bring beauty and pleasure into life, but be aware that expecting others to fulfill those needs could lead to disappointment. This is a moment to lean into self-care and define love on your own terms.
Ascendant Report for May 2025 - Major Transits This month, three major transits stand out: Jupiter enters Gemini, the Full Moon lands in Libra, and the Sun moves into Taurus. Each one activates a particular kind of house depending on your Ascendant. Jupiter brings expansion, grace, and new opportunities. The Sun purifies wherever it shines, exposing what's ready to be released or refined. The Full Moon invites reflection on the last two weeks—what’s come to light, and what it’s showing you about your expectations, efforts, and relationships.
Fire Ascendants (Aries, Leo, Sagittarius): Your Kama and Artha houses are getting activated this month. Jupiter brings blessings through connection—networking, partnerships, creativity, and the ideas you share. The Full Moon gives you a moment to reflect on how you've been relating to others and what you expect in return. The Sun purifies your Artha house, revealing what’s sustainable regarding money, effort, and practical growth. This is a time to align desire with discipline—and to ask if what you’re chasing is actually giving something back.
Earth Ascendants (Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn): This month is about Artha and Dharma. Jupiter brings growth to your income, career, or work ethic—but only if you’re willing to put in the effort where it counts. The Full Moon reflects what’s been happening in your routines, health, or boundaries. The Sun is moving through a Dharma house for you, purifying your beliefs and helping you reconnect with purpose. What you’re working toward must be rooted in your truth, not just what feels productive.
Air Ascendants (Gemini, Libra, Aquarius): Dharma and Moksha are in focus. Jupiter blesses your understanding of yourself, your message, and your role as a teacher or guide—whether that's public or private. The Full Moon brings clarity around creative expression and your deeper motivations. The Sun, traveling through a Moksha house, is purifying something that’s been simmering underneath—asking you to slow down, rest, and release old attachments. This is a month for integrating the deeper layers of your path, not pushing forward without checking in.
Water Ascendants (Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces): You’re in a quieter, more internal cycle, with Moksha and Kama houses being activated. Jupiter brings grace to your inner life—through healing, spiritual practice, or retreat. The Full Moon reflects what’s been playing out emotionally over the last few weeks, especially around home, control, or what helps you feel safe. The Sun is purifying your Kama house, asking you to be honest about what you’re drawn to and whether it’s aligned with what actually brings peace. Use this time to release emotional attachments that aren't rooted in truth.
