An update for 12th May 2025, by Patricia Godden
There is a full Moon on 12th May. The Sun is in Taurus opposite the Moon in Scorpio. Love is part of the soul lesson of both of these signs. When full, the Moon reflects the maximum amount of light from the Sun back to the Earth. There is particular significance to this full Moon that can be best understood by looking at the soul lessons of Taurus and Scorpio.
Taurus is associated with being down-to-earth and practical, steady and reliable. Much is perceived through the physical senses, particularly during spring when nature is unfolding so quickly. At a deeper level, the soul lesson of Taurus is love through service. For some people, giving loving service is a source of joy and contentment.
Scorpio can be linked with strong emotions and transformation but it is also a sensitive and intuitive sign. The soul lesson of Scorpio is peace through love. Deep inner peace emerges as a person begins to overcome the turbulence of emotions. When there is peace in the soul, the intuition may be more receptive to the finer vibrations of life.
At this full Moon, the interaction of these two energies can result in their finer vibrations manifesting and being used in everyday practical life. Peace and tranquillity may be experienced when looking at the beauty of nature. A flower may be a simple flower but it may also be seen as a miracle of creation and bring wonder to the observer. This may be shared with other people bringing them joy.
The Sun is close to Uranus during the two weeks covered by this update. At one level, this can be interpreted as highlighting things that might be considered unconventional or unorthodox. At a deeper level, it can be interpreted as spiritual sunlight shining on truth to illuminate what is really going on. Opportunities to respond in the finest way possible may then open up.
The Sun is in Taurus until 20th May. It is accompanied in this sign by Mercury and Uranus. Talks and discussion may focus on different ways of considering how to support the plant and animal kingdoms and the environment. A deeper understanding of the Earth and all that lives on it may develop, complementing appreciation of the natural world.
On 20th May, the Sun moves into Gemini accentuating communication between people. Different ideas abound as Jupiter, the planet that expands whatever it touches, is also in this sign. It might be an exciting time with all sorts of possibilities. Some of these may not be pursued to any extent but ideas that relate to the welfare of the community may be looked at in depth while the Sun interacts with Pluto in Aquarius.
On 25th May, Saturn moves into Aries. Over the last two and a half years, Saturn has been in the water sign of Pisces. Many old rules and regulations have slowly been eroded. As Saturn moves into the fire sign of Aries, it joins Neptune, which recently moved into this sign.
The combined energy of these two planets may indicate innovative actions that transcend previously known boundaries. Ideas and concepts that go far beyond what had been considered in the past could now seem possible. This could be really exciting. It might be tempting to rush ahead but looking at things thoroughly and carefully could help to avoid being disappointed or disillusioned.
Saturn can bring a steadying and grounding influence on the energy of Neptune. When these two planets work together dreams or visions can be methodically assessed. Through careful consideration of all the facts, unrealistic and impractical ideas can be separated from those that are viable. Energy can then be directed towards ideals that might have practical application.
The interactions between the Sun and the four outermost planets: Saturn, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto, are harmonious throughout the period covered by this update. Light is being shone on all the changes that are going on. These changes are happening both at the individual as well as national and international levels. However, they are all contributing to the evolution of humanity.
Three months ago, so many of the planets were in Pisces. There was an awareness that things were subtly shifting without necessarily knowing where it was all going. Now the emphasis is now on Aries, Taurus and Gemini. This brings a dynamic, multi-faceted awareness but one that also has a solid feeling. New ideas can be brought into practical reality. Aspirations can manifest and be grounded.
Keep well, stay happy.
