Weekly Astrology Forecast: May 5th, 2025
Welome to another segment of the Weekly Forecast!
On Monday, we start off the day with Moon in Leo. The energy is dynamic, creative, and outgoing. It is a good time to find different ways to express yourself and give yourself permission to take up space and shine. Later on, the Moon moves into Virgo, which is more practical, sensible, and work-oriented. It is an opportunity to get organized and put things into order. Mercury in Aries will also be sextile Jupiter in Gemini, indicating you may feel mentally expansive and stimulated. On Tuesday, Venus in Aries is sextile Pluto in Aquarius. This placement triggers passion and intensity within relationships due to an increased need for intimacy and connection.
On Wednesday, the Virgo Moon is square Jupiter in Gemini. You may have overinflated expectations of yourself and others, make sure to stay grounded and avoid overly lofty ideas or plans. The Moon is also trine Uranus in Taurus, this is a great chance for you to try new things and break out of old, stuck ruts and habits. On Thursday, the Libra Moon is trine Pluto in Aquarius. You may be more inclined to dive deep within your psyche and have an increased willingness to explore hidden aspects of your emotions. The Moon is also opposite Venus in Aries, this may come up as a tension between your own personal emotional and relational needs. Learn how to tend to your relationships without abandoning yourself.
On Friday, there is not much going on other than the Moon being in Libra. This is a sociable/diplomatic sign and seeks harmony and beauty in the things it pursues. On Saturday, the Moon is in Scorpio opposing Mercury in Taurus, there is a tension between your rational mind and your subjective feelings. Learn how to honor both and give breathing room for both aspects of yourself to coexist. Finally, on Sunday, the Scorpio Moon is square Mars in Leo. This is a charged configuration indicating emotional triggers and upsets. You may feel more irritable today, therefore find a physical practice that can provide an outlet for all this tension and energy.
