Laurie’s Weekly Astrology Forecast: May 19, 2025 through May 25, 2025
Crossing Into Clarity - Weekly Overview: May 19–25, 2025
This week unfolds with a series of meaningful transitions, each inviting us to recalibrate. The Sun’s move into Gemini on Tuesday brings a shift toward movement, conversation, and mental exploration. It's a time to stay open to new ideas without needing immediate conclusions. Meanwhile, the Last Quarter Moon encourages us to gently release what’s no longer aligned, especially in light of what the last few weeks have revealed. There’s a suggestion to ask better questions rather than rush forward with answers.
The most significant shift arrives Saturday night, as Saturn enters Aries, initiating a new multi-year chapter centered on responsibility for developing courage and maturity. This is a call to take ourselves and our actions more seriously, especially in the area of life where Aries lives in your natal chart. Alongside this, Mercury’s alignment with Uranus and Saturn brings flashes of insight that can be translated into lasting plans. It's a week to move slowly but with intention, listening closely to your mind, your heart, and your deeper inner compass.
QUIET CLARITY - Monday, May 19, 2025
The Moon moves through Aquarius today, offering a chance to think more clearly and step back from emotional intensity. This kind of detachment does not mean ignoring what we feel. It means creating enough space to see things as they are, without being pulled in too many directions. Aquarius brings a wider perspective and helps us recognize patterns we might miss when we are too close to a situation.
You may notice that something you have been struggling with suddenly looks different. A solution or shift in thinking may come simply by allowing yourself to pause. This is a good day to look at long-standing habits or stories you tell yourself and ask whether they are still useful. Insight may arrive in the form of a new idea, a helpful conversation, or the realization that you no longer react to something the way you used to.
Permit yourself to observe without rushing to fix. Clarity often comes when we are willing to slow down and find a new perspective.
What situation in my life benefits from a cooler, more detached perspective today?
Where am I being asked to step out of my comfort zone for the sake of growth?
How can I welcome a new idea without dismissing the wisdom of my past experiences?
SUN ENTERS GEMINI - Tuesday, May 20, 2025
The Sun enters Gemini at 2:54 pm EDT, bringing a noticeable change in rhythm. After the steadiness of Taurus season, which focused on stability, patience, and building something lasting, Gemini season introduces motion, curiosity, and exchange. This is a time to ask questions, explore new ideas, and pay attention to what catches your mind. You may feel more drawn to conversation, learning, or the kind of reading and writing that opens up fresh perspectives. Gemini is interested in how things connect and in how we communicate, not just what we already know. It is less about certainty and more about staying open.
Over the coming weeks, you may find yourself collecting information, having more frequent or meaningful conversations, or reaching out in ways that feel natural and even necessary. Communication becomes a tool for connection, not just a practical function. Notice what you feel pulled to learn or talk about. Look to the house in your birth chart that holds Gemini. This area of your life may feel more active, social, or mentally engaged now. A new cycle of learning begins here.
At 7:59 am EDT, before the Sun changes signs, the Moon reaches its last quarter phase, forming a square with the Sun. Just a half hour later, at 8:28 am, the Moon enters Pisces. This last quarter phase is a time for reviewing and releasing. Think back to what began at the new moon on April 27. What has taken shape? What has changed? And what now needs to be released, so that the insights of this cycle can settle more deeply? With the Moon in Pisces, there is a softness available today. Let your edges blur a little. Reflection may be more helpful than planning. Some answers only come when we stop trying so hard to find them.
In what area of my life am I ready to begin learning, communicating, and connecting?
Where in my life am I being invited to stay curious instead of rushing toward conclusions?
How can I stay open to connection without needing everything to make sense right away?
TENDER CURRENT - Wednesday, May 21, 2025
With the Moon continuing its journey through Pisces, the pace today feels slower, more fluid, and less defined. This is not a time to push for answers or try to organize everything into a neat plan. Instead, allow yourself to move gently through the day. Notice how your mood shifts in response to what surrounds you. We are more sensitive under a Pisces Moon, more open to what others are feeling, and more likely to take it on as our own. It helps to create space for quiet and care. If you feel scattered or heavy, you may be carrying something that isn’t yours.
This is a good day to let the deeper layers speak. That might come through music, dreams, journaling, or just letting your mind wander while doing something simple. If you feel the need to cry, rest, or retreat, honor it. You don’t have to explain yourself. Clarity may come later, after you’ve made space for it. For now, your task is to listen without judgment and allow the quieter parts of yourself to be heard.
Where in my life am I absorbing more than I realize?
What helps me return to myself when the world feels too loud or heavy?
How can I make space today for rest, reflection, or something quietly meaningful?
HEART AND SPARK - Thursday, May 22, 2025
Venus and Mars form a harmonious trine in the early hours, blending the energies of connection and action in an inner alignment. This offers a chance to move toward what we want with grace and with just enough effort. Relationships, both romantic and platonic, may feel especially balanced today, with an ease between giving and receiving, pursuing and attracting. If something calls to you with warmth and excitement, consider it an invitation to take a step forward. There’s no need for drama; lean into the strength of quiet confidence.
Later this morning, the Sun forms a sextile to Neptune, suggesting a subtle inspiration. This aspect invites us to imagine something more meaningful and more compassionate in our daily lives.
At 12:26 pm EDT, the Moon enters Aries, stirring us from the softness of Pisces into action. You may feel a strong desire to move, decide, or begin something new. But with the earlier influences still present, don’t rush anything. Let your actions be led by softness and intuition.
Where do I feel the ease of aligned desire and effort?
How can I remain connected to inspiration as I take practical steps forward?
What small beginning can I honor today, led by intuition and courage?
STEADY FLAME - Friday, May 23, 2025
The Moon continues through Aries today, bringing energy, drive, and a desire to move forward. There may be a sense that something needs to happen now, that waiting any longer would mean missing a chance. This kind of momentum can be useful, especially if you have been stuck in indecision or hesitation. Aries helps us take the first step, even if we are not sure where the path leads. But not every urge needs a response. The challenge with Aries energy is knowing the difference between healthy action and impulsive reaction.
This is a day to stay close to your center. Let yourself move, but check in with what is guiding that motion. Is it clarity or frustration? Is it curiosity or avoidance? The best use of today’s fire is to focus it. Choose one thing and give it your full attention. You may surprise yourself with what you can accomplish when you direct your energy rather than scattering it. Independence is valuable, but connection matters too. You do not have to do everything alone.
What’s calling for initiation in my life, and what’s holding me back?
Am I acting out of courage or reacting out of restlessness?
How can I honor my independence without isolating myself from others?
COURAGE AND RESPONSIBILITY - Saturday, May 24, 2025
Late tonight, Saturn enters Aries, bringing a marked shift in how we relate to discipline, responsibility, and self-direction. For the past few years, Saturn moved through Pisces, where structure often felt unclear and boundaries were more fluid. Now, as it crosses into Aries, we enter a period that emphasizes directness, action, and self-leadership. Saturn in Aries asks us to take a new approach. Saturn will remain in Aries for over two years and will teach us to act with intention rather than impulse, to commit to our path without waiting for permission. Look to the house in your natal chart that holds Aries. This is the area of life where you’ll be asked to face reality and show up with more maturity, where consistent effort over time will bring lasting results.
Earlier in the day, the Sun forms a trine to Pluto, offering a strong and steady sense of personal power. This offers a grounded confidence that comes from knowing what matters and no longer needing to explain yourself. Pluto brings depth and clarity, and with this supportive connection, you may feel something shift within. Trust your inner sense of power and perspective.
The Moon enters Taurus at 1:38 pm EDT, offering a grounded, steadying influence amid the day's changes. If things feel stirred up, come back to the basics. Take care of your body. Be where your feet are. The present moment is often more stable than we think.
At 7:15 pm EDT, Mercury meets Uranus. This can bring unexpected conversations, sudden realizations, or a shift in how you see something. If something surprises you today, pay attention to your reaction. Not every idea needs to be acted on right away, but it may be worth holding onto. Insight can come in a flash, but making sense of it usually takes time.
Where am I being asked to show up with greater maturity and more courage? What house holds Aries in your natal chart?
What kind of strength am I beginning to recognize in myself that doesn’t need outside validation?
How can I stay grounded while remaining open to the unexpected?
OPPORTUNITY TO SPEAK WITH CARE - Sunday, May 25, 2025
The Moon moves through Taurus today, bringing a steadier tone after a busy day yesterday. This is a good day to slow down and take care of what supports you. Simple routines, nourishing food, and time in familiar places. Wisdom can be expressed in the way you care for your home, how you move through the day, or how you follow through on something small but important. Let the day move at a natural pace. There is strength in showing up quietly and consistently.
At 8:59 pm EDT, Mercury enters Gemini, one of the signs it rules. The mental pace picks up, and thoughts may come more quickly. Conversations may feel easier or more spontaneous. Shortly after, Mercury forms a sextile to Saturn, which helps us stay focused and grounded. This is a good time to bring your thinking into focus. If there is something you have been trying to say or sort out, this may be the time it finally comes into focus. Speak clearly. Choose your words with care.
What habits or rituals help me return to a grounded, present state?
How can I express my ideas clearly while honoring the value of silence?
What thought or plan am I ready to take more seriously now?
