Astrology for May 23, 2025

With the Moon in Aries, we seem to want something right now. New is the path and we have energy for change.

The Moon and Venus work to soften Mars’s current intensity and with Neptune also in Aries we seem to be a bit nostalgic for a past that clearly is no more. What we intuitively know is that everything is going to change. While that seems to have been the ongoing theme for years, the tone and intensity is still new and a bit disturbing.

Use this forceful Aries energy to propel you past your fears and into what are your next steps in this life that will allow you to leave this world with a sense of completion and fulfillment. From this point on, many things are going to be up to us.

Mars and Neptune are in a minor square and many things seem to require more effort than we really wanted to try. But there is no other way. The long and circuitous route is the only one available to us at this time. Many things in life continue to feel upsetting and strained, emotionally we are waking up out of an illusion that is crumbling underneath our feet.

With the insight that is now being offered up, we see that some feel as if what they wanted is going to become much harder than anticipated, others will feel as if the internalized anger and resentment is now going to come up as some form of oppositional dysfunction or aggression. And finally, some will feel as if the rug is being pulled out from under them.

Because of that pattern, making decisions and choices right now is not the best. We might be wise to wait while things clear and the dust settles.

We feel as if we are losing confidence, and we seem to think that our plans that we had such high hopes for … may amount to nothing.

Don’t give up yet! Adjustments are needed and successes always come to those most determined not necessarily to those that are the most talented.

This is a week that much is going to be asked of us. We might need a few days to regroup before we press forward once again.

The North Node and Mercury sextile and this might be the moment that we finally connect to those that can encourage us and help us along the way. Many things are shifting and rearranging. There are circumstances that you are not aware of at this time that needed to play out before the shift we want can take place.

Allow universal timing to help you find that illusive path and connection. Because Neptune and Mars keep stirring up the mud in the water, so it is still quite hard to see where we are going.

Know that the path ahead is going to be exciting. Attitude is everything and in the near future all things will become clear.
