Neptune in Aries has include a storm – breaking outdated patterns, shaking issues out, creating chaos – but additionally seeding new potentials, inspiring daring visions, and testing new frontiers.
The 165-year Neptune cycle has already been initiated final month – and now Saturn joins in to “seal the deal” and anchor it into actuality.
With Saturn coming into Aries, issues are getting actual, of us. Saturn’s function in astrology IS to make issues actual; so that is just about a degree of no return. No matter is seeded this month units the foundations for a lot of, many many years to come back.
We can not stress sufficient the significance of this ingress – due to its extraordinary rarity and “0 levels/new chapter” high quality.
This can be a radical new starting. That is uncharted territory – an area the place we would really feel misplaced and not using a map, but additionally an area the place the courageous and the visionary will chart the course forward.
Neptune and Saturn are becoming a member of forces on the very first diploma of the zodiac – 0° Aries, the cosmic ‘reset’ button. The world is about to shift in methods we are able to’t even think about but. These are attention-grabbing occasions to be alive, to say the least.
Whereas Saturn in Aries is the transit spotlight of the month, there are different necessary shifts and developments that create a clearer image of what’s within the making.
Let’s dive into an important transits of the month:
Could fifth, 2025 – Pluto Goes Retrograde
On Could fifth, 2025, Pluto goes retrograde at 3° Aquarius. The foundations of this – pretty new – Aquarian paradigm are actually up for a evaluation!
Pluto in Aquarius’ agenda is to shift the ability (Pluto) away from the ‘authorities/elite’ (Capricorn) and democratize it (Aquarius). However this transition part, this passing of the torch, will not be coming with out challenges.
Pluto’s retrograde at 3° is a chance to pause and replicate – and to make the required changes to align with what has emerged since November final yr, when Pluto ingressed into the signal.
Could tenth, 2025 – Mercury Enters Taurus
On Could tenth, 2025, Mercury enters Taurus.
Mercury remains to be processing “what the heck simply occurred” after spending a few intense months in Pisces and Aries, retrograding forwards and backwards, conjuncting Neptune, and navigating all that Pisces stellium power.
Over the previous months, Mercury has acquired essential details about the transition from the Neptune-in-Pisces period into the Neptune-in-Aries period.
And now, as Mercury picks up pace, it’s able to proceed with the “implementation part” – inviting us to floor the insights we’ve acquired and take the following sensible steps.
Taurus is the builder of the zodiac, so Mercury in Taurus will assist us construct constructions, stabilize concepts, and lay down the psychological foundations wanted to maneuver ahead with our new plans.
Could twelfth, 2025 – Full Moon In Scorpio
On Could twelfth, 2025, we now have a Full Moon at 22° Scorpio. The Full Moon is reverse Uranus (at 26° Taurus) and trine Saturn (at 28° Pisces).
The Full Moon in Scorpio completes what the extreme New Moon in Taurus (two weeks prior) had initiated. The change is now absorbed, and the disruption built-in.
What as soon as felt like chaos transforms into long-lasting alternative.
This Full Moon in Scorpio invitations us to grab the depth and realness of the second and decide – now or by no means.
There’s a decisiveness about this Full Moon – whether or not we select to proceed ourselves, or whether or not “Uranus makes us do it” – motion will likely be taken.
Could 18th, 2025 – Solar Conjunct Uranus
On Could 18th, 2025, the Solar and Uranus meet at 27° Taurus. That is the final Solar-Uranus conjunction within the signal of Taurus – no less than for the following 80 years or so.
In its final weeks within the signal, Uranus helps us get a clearer sense of who we’re – particularly in the case of the Taurus facet of us, the half that’s all about stability, safety, and self-reliance.
Possibly our concept of stability isn’t what we as soon as thought it was. Possibly the very basis we’ve been standing on has shifted. Both method, this transit is asking us to redefine what true safety actually means.
We’re not the identical particular person we have been when Uranus entered Taurus, again in 2018.
By now – 7 years of Uranus in Taurus later – our sense of self-worth is not primarily based on exterior validation, however a extra genuine expression of our distinctive traits and presents.
Could twentieth, 2025 – Solar Enters Gemini
On Could twentieth, 2025, the Solar enters Gemini, kicking off Gemini season.
Gemini season is when issues get busy, busy, busy.
Gemini is that a part of the yr earlier than a giant seasonal shift (summer time within the Northern Hemisphere and winter within the Southern Hemisphere) once we really feel compelled to join, trade, and discover as many issues as attainable.
Our ‘antennas’ are actually large open. That is the season to get curious, get shifting, and get out of our metaphorical Taurus sofa and interact with the world.
Blissful early birthday to all Geminis on the market!
Could twenty fourth, 2025 – Mercury Conjunct Uranus
On Could twenty fourth, 2025, we now have the ultimate Mercury-Uranus conjunction within the signal of Taurus.
If the Solar-Uranus transit a number of days earlier woke up your genuine DNA, Mercury will now translate what all of it means.
Since we’re speaking in regards to the final Mercury-Uranus conjunction in Taurus, this transit acts as a ‘closing breakthrough’ – a form of ‘conclusion’ or ‘aha second’ associated to the Taurus sector of your life.
Could twenty fifth, 2025 – Saturn Enters Aries
At the moment is the massive day – the massive shift: Saturn leaves Pisces and enters Aries, becoming a member of Neptune within the signal.
Saturn will keep in Aries till April 2028 – that’s 3 years of great “Aries enterprise” in your chart.
In fact, we can not separate Saturn in Aries’ affect from Neptune – for the reason that 2 are very, very shut collectively. One thing critical – one thing necessary – is within the making!

That is an auspicious New Moon – it’s trine Pluto, sextile Neptune, and conjunct Mercury (and loosely conjunct Uranus).
We wish to pay additional consideration to this one – the New Moon in Gemini initiates an necessary configuration that we are going to see unfold over the following few years: a minor triangle between the “Huge 3” – Pluto, Neptune, and Uranus.
So take note of no matter emerges – nonetheless delicate, nonetheless insignificant it might appear – as a result of it will plant the seeds for future developments.
Could thirtieth, 2025 – Solar Conjunct Mercury
On Could thirtieth, Mercury is cazimi. The Mercury-Solar conjunction – at 9° Gemini – is the fruits of the present Mercury cycle – very similar to a “Full Moon” or, higher mentioned, “Full Mercury.”
No matter was initiated when the present Mercury cycle started (on March twenty fourth, 2025) will now come into full consciousness, attain readability, or require necessary selections or changes.
PS: Speaking a couple of main RESET. Neptune moved into Aries final month, now in Could Saturn makes the identical transfer. Subsequent month, Jupiter strikes into Most cancers, and the next month, Uranus enters Gemini.
To work with this window of change, we created a particular program referred to as RESET, which can run all through the month of June (mark your calendars). Extra data will likely be despatched nearer to the date.
