With today's daily energy on May 04, 2025, the powerful influences of the Taurus sun continue to reach us, allowing us to work with perseverance and endurance toward the realization of our true nature. On the other hand, the energies of the waxing moon are already affecting us, which will reach its full potential in about a week (on May 12th) - will culminate in a powerful full moon in the sign of Scorpio. The current days are therefore all about growth, increase, and energetic intensification – after all, the Scorpio full moon is considered one of the most energetic of the year. During the waxing moon phase, all processes related to development, unfolding, and inner growth are accelerated.
The energetic influences in May
Aside from the approaching full moon, however, the beginning of May has now arrived, the month of fertility, love, blossoming, and marriage. Nature is in full bloom: flowers unfold in magnificent beauty, countless plants thrive, and life returns with an abundance that is even more noticeable this year. Curiously, I have noticed time and again in recent years that spring is accompanied by increasingly intense growth and blossoming. Year after year, I have noted in my articles that nature seems to be blooming more powerfully and lushly than ever before. Whether this is related to our inner shift in consciousness, to an expanded perception, or simply to the fact that nature itself is blossoming more strongly—which is obvious, since it is a direct expression of our spirit, like everything in existence—remains open to debate. The fact is: this year, too, I am perceiving a natural phenomenon that is literally exploding. Finally, we're now in the middle of May and can now experience this unique spring awakening in all its glory. In addition, special planetary constellations are reaching us again. You'll find out what they are below:
Pluto becomes retrograde in Aquarius
To begin with, today (04. May) Pluto retrograde in the sign of Aquarius. As you already know, at the end of last year, Pluto entered the sign of Aquarius, ushering in a new era. This constellation represents major, irreversible changes that manifest within us, but also globally. Why is that? Well, the energy of Pluto is always accompanied by unstoppable change. Endings and new beginnings are the key words here. All old patterns and structures are dissolved, and this process can occur in a drastic and explosive way. In this regard, it is always said that the energy of Pluto is inevitable. Pluto wants to assert its qualities. Aquarius, in turn, stands for freedom, independence, community, and the future. Above all, however, freedom is one of the greatest aspects. With Pluto in Aquarius, all structures that make us feel unfree, trapped, or limited want to be dissolved during these years. And since the world is in chains (Matrix), this very situation now wants to be resolved. An end to the spiritual slavery to which humanity has so far submitted. And this is happening at a pace that is almost incomprehensible. For this reason, since 2025, we have been in the most significant years in which everything will change. However, until October, Pluto will be retrograde. For this reason, we can take an important look back. This constellation has shown us since January (there began the noticeable effect of Pluto in Aquarius – 1°), which overarching issues cause us to live in bondage. As a result, we have been spiritually tasked with resolving the corresponding aspects. In the coming months, however, we can look back on this time and also on our issues to see how far we have already come and what is required to enter our great freedom – so that at the end of this phase, we can then resolutely continue on our path.
Mercury moves to Taurus
On May 10th, direct Mercury moves into the zodiac sign Taurus. The planet of communication and sensory impressions changes its alignment significantly in Taurus. A phase begins in which, from a communicative perspective, we can approach certain circumstances in a much more grounded and persistent manner. We could also feel a tendency to think and act creatively. In the same way, due to this earthy connection, order is in the foreground in interpersonal relationships, or rather we could feel the urge to bring a corresponding calm and structure into relationships. Our voice wants to be used for safe and calm pronunciations. Grounded considerations of life are encouraged. On the other hand, we could be much more down-to-earth in our overall expression. We can pursue goals with zeal.
Full Moon in Scorpio
On May 12th, we will experience another particularly powerful full moon, as this full moon is in the sign of Scorpio. I have often pointed out the intense effects of the Scorpio zodiac sign. In this respect, the strongest energetic influences prevail during a Scorpio period. Even plants, fruits, seeds, etc., exhibit by far the highest nutrient and energy density during a Scorpio full moon. Due to this special combination, our own mind, body, and soul systems are deeply addressed. In this regard, the sign of Scorpio, just like its ruling planet Pluto, initiates processes of death and transformation. All unfulfilled aspects hidden within us rise to the surface and demand to be seen by us. In the truest sense of the word, the scorpion stings us with its sting, triggering us and bringing to the surface our painful issues. Therefore, during such a phase, our deepest wounds can reveal themselves. The core focus is on healing and healing the wounds. For this reason, we are moving towards a particularly intense full moon that will impact us with concentrated power.
Sun moves into the zodiac sign Gemini
On May 20th the sun moves into the zodiac sign Gemini. So another major solar change will take place on this day and the time of Gemini energy begins. Due to the airy energy of the Gemini zodiac sign, we will feel a strong inclination towards social activities and enjoy doing things with other people. Special communicative circumstances, a much more pronounced thirst for knowledge and a valuable, lively exchange will be in the foreground. Otherwise, this connection can show us our extremes. In this context, the sun also represents our essence and illuminates deep personality aspects of our being. Within the Gemini zodiac sign, which tends to fall into extremes or two sides or even has difficulty deciding on something, the reasons why we fall into extremes are highlighted. This time can therefore make us very centered if we are mindful and work successfully on our inner issues.
Mercury moves into Gemini
On May 26th, Mercury will move direct into the sign of Gemini, ushering in a phase of mental clarity, ease, and dynamic communication. Mercury is also the ruling planet of Gemini—in this sign, it can therefore express its qualities to the fullest. Thoughts flow faster, conversations become more lively, and the desire for exchange, information, and movement increases significantly. A phase then begins in which thinking is accelerated, spontaneous impulses become more frequent, and new ideas like flashes of inspiration can emerge. Gemini stands for curiosity, versatility, and flexibility—and these are precisely the qualities that Mercury will activate and strengthen from then on. It will be an ideal phase for making plans, expanding knowledge, having conversations, starting creative projects, or networking with like-minded people.
new moon 5.02am Sun and Moon at 6°06` in Gemini
One day later, on May 27th, a new moon will reach us in the sign of Gemini. On this day, the new moon will usher in the beginning of the 29-day sun/moon cycle and, with it, bring us a breath of fresh air. After all, this Gemini new moon also opposes the Gemini sun, which is why a double air energy will affect us. The communicative aspects of this concentrated Gemini/air energy will guide us to look into the depths of our being and, in doing so, make hidden things visible. Everything wants to rise up. On the other hand, the airy, agile sign of Gemini is always about thoughts, language, exchange, and our relationship to the world of information (Merkur). What am I really thinking? What am I sending out? What do I want to learn – and what do I want to communicate? Since both the sun and the moon are in Gemini, the focus is clearly on the intellect, social interaction, and mental agility. This new moon will invite us to receive new ideas, make fresh connections, and wants to realign us internally and externally – light, open, and curious. This new moon will therefore have a particularly strong effect on our communication channels: conversations, creative writing projects, digital projects, or even deeper self-discovery can experience a powerful new beginning. Questioning old habits of thought is also encouraged – because in Gemini we want to understand, learn, and grow. We can therefore use this new moon perfectly to become aware of how we speak to ourselves and the world. Words are magic – and this new moon gives us the opportunity to realign our inner voice.
Conclusion
Well, finally, it should be said that May is a magical month in which we are encouraged to blossom (The nuclear energy of May). And in keeping with this, we also experience a special blossoming within nature this month. Thus, we can optimally integrate these energies within ourselves, for example, by going out into nature and thereby absorbing the influences of nature (Earth) directly into ourselves. And since we're about to experience an intense Scorpio full moon, grounding could be very important in general. Especially to enter this phase feeling grounded. With that in mind, stay healthy, content, and live a life of harmony. 🙂
