May 2025 Astrology Forecast - All signs

[00:00:00] Kari: We have quite a month ahead of us. There's a lot of planetary activity and one really big change that we will feel personally and collectively. Hello, I'm Kari Samuels, your intuitive counselor and happiness coach with your May forecast. I cannot believe it is May already. April flew by. I know we talked about March being like the most busy astrological month of the year, but April really?

[00:00:26] Felt like a run for its money in many ways. It had a little bit of a mercury retrograde feel. I'm not sure if you experienced that, but may. Even though we are in Taurus season for the majority of the month until the 20th, Taurus is very. Grounded and it's about slowing down and enjoying life, but it's a fast month.

[00:00:48] There's a lot of like speedy, quick energy happening this month. So there's some like contrary energies. It's definitely a month of [00:01:00] changes. Some things will be turned on its head and some changes will be like super exciting and you will welcome them with open arms. Again, we are in Taurus season with the sun in Taurus until the 20th, and Taurus is ruled by Venus.

[00:01:17] Venus wants you to slow down and luxuriate and enjoy life's pleasures. Really the simple things. Venus is very creative and there's a lot of creative energy this month, and we need that. I know life in 2025 is challenging. I mean like even more than many other years for a lot of people, and sometimes with everything going on in the world and piling up in your personal life, you can feel like how are things gonna change?

[00:01:53] Will things change and what can I do? You may feel stuck. This is actually a month where you can [00:02:00] start to move things and change things and turn things around with creative solutions, and that's what we need in the world too. Anytime you're feeling like, wow, I don't know what I, I just had to stop for a minute because someone was honking really loudly out there.

[00:02:19] Everything's trying to get your attention, right, so anytime. You are feeling this way in the world where like things are just like piling up and you can feel helpless or hopeless. Remember that you are creative being, we are co-creators of reality and it's up to us as creators to create a better world for ourselves, our loved ones.

[00:02:45] And the collective you can do it. Use your power of creativity. In addition to being in Taurus for the first three weeks of the month, may 20, 25 and numerology is a five. [00:03:00] Universal month five is the number of change, excitement, experience, adventure, trying new things now. Taurus loves to like enjoy life through the body.

[00:03:18] It's very earth centered. And five is all about experiencing life through the five senses. And it's also about change. Experimenting. This is actually a 14 universal month. Which reduces to five and 14. The tarot is the Temperance Card. This beautiful angel that is dipping their toe in the river of life, in the river of creativity, in the river of the psyche.

[00:03:50] And so this is about like dipping your toe into new things, trying new things, exploring, experimenting, but sometimes with that. [00:04:00] Five. It's like things can be dramatic sometimes to change something, you go the opposite way, right? And so temperance is about finding that center, but you do it through exploration and experimentation, and sometimes the universe does it for you.

[00:04:21] 14 in numerology is a karmic lesson number. Sometimes it comes and brings change. If you're being too stuck in your ways or if you are not slowing down, then the universe will be like, Hey, easy now. Speed racer. Slow your roll. And that's actually, um, as we head toward the end of the month, we have Saturn going into Aries.

[00:04:54] On May 24th. And so this whole time, up until [00:05:00] then, Saturn is in the last degrees of Pisces. And Pisces is really a boundless kind of sign, and Saturn is about boundaries. So as we're getting into this karmic. Lessen energy, the last sign of the Zodiac and the last degrees of the Zodiac and Saturn is the Lord of karma.

[00:05:29] Anywhere where you've had delusions, allusions, where you've maybe had unrealistic ideas about what your own limitations are or, or. Maybe people that you shouldn't have been connecting with or endeavors that maybe were based on misguided impulses or ideals. Well Saturn and the Lord of Karma is coming now to [00:06:00] say, okay, let's wrap it up.

[00:06:02] What you gotta learn from this wake up, that's what Saturn does. It wakes you up to reality is the get real planet and Neptune. Which rules Pisces, the planet of dreams just moved into Aries. Now Saturn's moving into Aries. We have actually quite a lot of Aries energy in our personal planets this month.

[00:06:23] So even though Taurus is all about like that slow grounding, present sensual energy, this Aries energy, the five energy, this karmic energy that's coming with Saturn, wrapping it up in in Pisces. It's going to be maybe also because five can bring a little bit of drama and the Aries brings impulsiveness.

[00:06:50] And so again, there's that dichotomy of like, well, I just wanna like slow down and bake cookies and eat them [00:07:00] and like, you know, just luxuriate. And yet. There's a lot of forward movement, and of course we have this wonderful space right now where no planets are retrograde. Actually, Pluto's going retrograde.

[00:07:16] It's an outer planet. It goes retrograde for several months of the year, so that's not like the personal planets retrograde, which we've had all year until the end of last month. So we have this beautiful. Spacious period of like forward movement. There's also some other quickenings happening May 2nd, the very beginning of the month.

[00:07:38] Neptune, that planet of dreams and spirit and soul is connecting with Venus. And that is going to be beautiful because that really opens your heart to what your true dreams are. And on the 17th, the [00:08:00] Sun conjuncts Uranus, which brings quick changes, but also is about your uniqueness and your individuality.

[00:08:11] That conjunction, it's called the Kami, where the sun like illuminates the energy of that planet. So this is all about like expressing your uniqueness to move your life forward and having that courage to be yourself and make the changes you need to make, do them consciously. This month, the universe is moving you in a forward direction, so it's really not a time to.

[00:08:40] Slow down. It is a time to live from your heart. It's a time to live from your full heart with all of yourself and express all of yourself in a way that's really bringing you out of your comfort zone. So much of this [00:09:00] month is about bringing you out of your comfort zone into new and exciting directions.

[00:09:06] New archetypes are emerging within you. So pay attention to your dreams. Pay attention to your feelings. They're moving you in a new direction. How do you make the most of this? Of course, I have some action steps for you. Your first action step is to express yourself fully. That means is there something in your heart?

[00:09:33] Is there something that you've been wanting to communicate? That you haven't said. Is there something that you want to create an expression of your creativity that you've been hiding from the world? A blog. You want to start a video, you want to make a website, you want to create a creative project. This is your [00:10:00] time.

[00:10:00] Saturn in Aries, which we're gonna have for the next. Two years. Saturn is about creating structure and Aries is like your confidence and moving forward in innovative ways. So this is a time it can slow you down because Aries is like, I just wanna do everything now. But Saturn is like, okay, let's build this.

[00:10:19] Let's build this with structure and discipline. So this is your time to really build some new pathways for yourself, some new creative adventures and ventures, and have outlets for what is in your heart, be they things you want to say, or creative expressions, which brings us to action, step number two, which is to try something new.

[00:10:47] Do something you've never done before, especially if you've had that like download that you see an image of yourself, like doing something like salsa dancing or roller skating [00:11:00] or like speaking publicly or being in a play or whatever it is or, or dating or whatever that is that you see yourself, that you've had that vision.

[00:11:10] Do some things to like make that happen. Try some new things. This is a month of creative solutions, creative expression, new things, new adventures. Five in numerology. The letters that reduced to five in numerology, numerology are n, E, and W new. Okay, so like even if it's about like you walk the same path every day, try a different path, or you drive in a same road every day, try another one.

[00:11:41] Try a new item on the menu, whatever it is, like do whatever small changes or big changes you can to, to really expand yourself and break out of your patterns and. Expand your horizons, which brings us to action. Step number three. This may be my favorite. It's Have [00:12:00] fun. Fun is healing. Joy is healing.

[00:12:05] Especially since this is a month of a little bit of drama. Sometimes it can be, and change can be, even if it's exciting, it can be hard. If you just like break up the energy by laughing or no matter what you have going on, you wanna stay and fix the problem, just call someone that always makes you laugh or be with someone that always makes you laugh or have turn on a funny movie or whatever it is that you like to do.

[00:12:36] Break things up. With joy and fun hobbies and maybe go on a trip or whatever it is that you need to do, bring some fun into your life every day. It's going to help change your life really, because it's hard to like solve problems if you're like wrapped up in them, right? It's hard to move forward energy if you're like.[00:13:00] 

[00:13:00] You know, you're trying to create more joy in your life by like working really hard. It's really important to bring that joy into things. It's really important to bring that fun into things, and that's gonna change your energy. And when you change your energy, you change your life. Speaking of which, I have something every month now called Soul Healing Sessions.

[00:13:18] It's where I help you change your energy. With guided healing and guided practices. We talk about what's going on collectively, which is also what's going on inside of you, and we connect with our guides. Your guides, and I do readings for several participants. Every month is a new theme you can join for one month or a year, and.
