AstroRain Report May 21-27
Sun just into Gemini has stimulated our curiosity, very much about all that differs from our most familiar realm, diversity of ideas and love of the eclectic in tastes. It’s a time for old and new connections from a wide open attitude. May seem more urgent to share important thoughts and feelings while expanding our own little world. Gemini loves laughter and lighthearted approaches to anything and everything even, and especially, in the midst of horror and despair. We’re made for such times, and how we choreograph our way through them, individually and together, is everything.

Wed 21 Moon-Mars tension early reminds us that bold action backed up with compassion is the best solution for being stuck in fear or depression. Pisces Moon supports going with the momentum of the day rather than trying to make things go our way. Evening lunar aspect with Mercury sensitizes communications. Kind words are needed for ourselves or others, while being willing to not know the answers to most burning questions for now is most helpful. Good evening for singing, chanting, using the voice as an instrument of light and loving kindness.

Thurs 22 Venus trine Mars in fire signs ignites all kinds of passions; for what we need and value most and also desires that may not be for our ultimate good. Sorting that out is easier as Sun-Neptune combine the mental clarity and heart sensitivity to make optimal decisions in what direction to take and what to leave behind that is more energy drain than benefit to our purpose. 9:26 am Moon shifts to motivated Aries joining Neptune and contacting Sun and Pluto in the afternoon. Clarifying priorities opens up greater insights, ideas, and helpful allies if taking the time to see where we are and what and who is around us.

Fri 23 Afternoon Aries Moon aspects with Mars and Venus continue charging the atmosphere with the urge to act from the heart’s desire. Courage to claim what is ours free of apologies or hesitation strongly favored today. As long as it comes from the heart’s massive intelligence it’s bound for glorious outcomes. Always in dedication to the Good of All. One caution may be for any aggressive moves where someone is trying to push their agenda on onto another.

Sat 24 Sun trine Pluto 8:55 am can be a powerful wind blowing through, mentally and/or in the shifting, sometimes erratic, weather patterns afoot. Whatever ideas come in on this wind are bound to be well worth entertaining. However good to beware there are those who would use this energy in attempts to over power others with their opinions and in some cases fanatical ideas. The “news” today will be filled with a whopping helping of the usual manipulations and half truths and outright lies the media has become so well known for. Taking all with a grain of salt is the ongoing best strategy but the Mercury-Uranus conjunction today assures some major releases of truth. That aspect warns us to take care with our own declarations that can be spontaneous but should have been thought out a bit more. Meanwhile really, really big news is Saturn leaving Pisces and entering Aries 8:35 pm. We’re on a whole new trajectory now as Saturn rules society and Aries the sign of birthing, new beginnings. On the cusp, really, of thousands of years of history completed and the next incarnation of being human and how we live within the Mother planet’s embrace.
Between now and mid-February 2026 Saturn and Neptune hover very close to each other announcing aspects of that reality generating in coming years, while supporting only the most boldly forward visioning agendas, plans, structural changes and long term commitments. All based on the highest good universally. Everytihng else is destined to aggressively backfire, burn down or dissolve, melt down, or simply disappear into the mists of Time. That means still a huge mess but accompanied by the insight, inspirations, means and pure hutzpah to bring about new structures and institutions of society. Economic health will no longer be based on the War Machine that’s been in place for the last 5,000 years as the colonizers have been determined to destory all self sustaining cultures while stealing land and resources.
Saturn in Aries demands soveriegnty for all nations, especially the ones that have been colonized into devastation for millennia. The global movements of resistance to control from outside national borders builds over the next 2 1/2 years. The multiple ongoing genocides fueled by out of control Western powers have backlash over this time as the human collective says “No More”.
Small, local moves are the human generated building blocks of this New Earth birthing, while the very cells of our bodies have also been undergoing changes in synch with the earthly-cosmic changes. Again, as we’re made for this time the biggest challenge being to accept and surrender. That’s a tall order! As the new possibilities arrive we need to be free of the resistance of old paradigm limitations. “That’s just the way things are” is breathing its last as a fall back on what we refuse to see changing for the good.
Personally wherever first degree of Aries are in natal chart is the area of vast new possibilities. Obstacles appear where we’re off course in that aspect of life and possibly wrapped up in a fierce drama. No need to entertain that if we get to the work of shifting direction or the plan in place. Neptune offers all encompassing compassion for our worst foibles that Saturn demands to be addressed. Self sovereignty has been an ongoing issue for a few years, now the flashing red light says “time to honor that fully”.

Sun 25 Ta**us Moon may bring out stubbornness in a square to Mars late afternoon, can be a challenge to be more emotionally flexible. Mercury enters Gemini today, the sign it rules, and is amplified greatly by Sun in the mtuable air sign too, and headed for its marriage to the Gemini Moon tomorrow. Mercury’s sextile to Saturn early evening helps with figuring out a good plan with more information available to work with. Meanwhile Dark Moon time before new cycle begins can also mean dark mood, but the immersion in the dark is most beneficial for incubating our dreams.

Mon 26 New Moon at 6 degrees Gemini is joined by ruler Mercury and by wild card Uranus still in late degree of Ta**us, while Jupiter also in Gemini in late degree. Alliances and new connections favored, and again in unexpected places quite likely. Creating intentions for the cycle ahead by 8:02 pm puts us in favorable alignment from the start, and may be regarding where we need allies if not well represented already. Also intentions for finding most relevant information and resources for our purposes strongly supported.
The most dramatic combination in New Moon pattern is the exact to the minute conjunction of Eris and Chrion at 25 Aries. Dramatic, volatile, ready to fight for what has been denied or stolen. For the massive wounds of war, ongoing apartheid, genocide and the intentional starvation of children before our eyes, Eris and Chiron join forces to claim what’s been denied and loudly pronounce outrage. Actions are assured in the defense of such heinous disregard for life.
For each of us the Sun and Moon begin the cycle in the chart House where early degrees of Gemini fall. Good to look that up where possible and use that information while clarifying the most important themes for the month ahead, and also for the year ahead in matters ruled by Gemini.

Tues 27 Mercury trine Pluto mid morning colors most interactions, conversations, messages, commercial transactions and biggest news of the day with a certain intensity and a hefty push for liberating the truth no matter how unsavory.

AstroRain Report May 14-20

The drama, unearthed power plays and manipulations from Scorpio Full Moon reverberate for a long time to come. At the same time Sun-Moon illuminated unexpected and in many cases grand opportunities to come into balance. Neptune, Saturn, Ceres and North Node combining divergent energies in Late Pisces and first degree of Aries provide the kind of guidance and support we need to go forward in wisdom, integrity and discipline based on essential or spiritual foundations. A rich and rewarding period right now to be asking for, finding and committing to our own most relevant lineages and practices. In the world at large rebellions leading to ultimate radical change are amplified all the while the inutterable horror of not only bombing but intentionally starving children, as we watch, carries on daily. This only guarantees the coming changes in our world will be in many ways like nothing we have yet seen or even imagined. Let’s be ready by aligning wholeheartedly with soul’s intentions for this life every day, and in every way possible.
Surrender at a very deep level continues as a major theme this year. Releasing ourselves individually and collectively from the age old dominance/submission, competitive, either/or, split brain and heartless paradigm has to happen at the very core. All rituals and intentions with surrender as the focus have special power and benefits. They help unleash waves of previously pent up energies that have been holding what we don’t need or want in place. Good to be prepared with extra effective self care for the inner earthquakes that can cause, as well as in partnerships, and as Gaia herself shakes and erupts.

Wed 14 Blessedly freed up energies today as Sagittarius Moon continues on its upward flight taking us out of the underworld to gain more complete perspective. Only exact aspect happens when most are asleep, Moon trine Mars 1:28 am, perhaps stimulating dreams of high adventure. Or could keep us awake with wildly creative ideas and visions of what can be.

Thurs 15 Morning lunar connections can create tension between what we think should be and what could be, but the way through is to awaken to different ways of perceiving. May take some work. Moon shifts to practical minded Capricorn which teaches us how to accomplish dreams and intentions through going at them step by step. Til late Saturday this earthy Moon supports that approach while cautioning not get caught up in feeling of what we should have gotten done by now and did not. Doesn’t help the flow if falling into Capricorn’s more unskillful tendency of judging, ourselves or others. Late afternoon Moon square Neptune invites more letting go.

Fri 16 Cardinal earth sign lunar aspects with Mercury, Venus and Mars into the afternoon enable most rewarding accomplishments for the rest of the day if we take a different approach than usual. Innovations are floating about in the aethers available for us to capture and work with particularly with to morrow’s dynamic major aspect coming in.

Sat 17 Sun Square Uranus blasts through old outworn ideas, methods and overall previously known possibilities into new territory. Just what we need now both individually and together as encounter the unknown before us. Certainly can eject us out of a stuck place with shocks and surprises! Earthquake, volcano energies are up along with the rebellious mood of the under represented throughout the world. Perhaps this brings up the next attempt at radically changing the monetary system and/or a shock in economic matters. Meanwhile Capricorn Moon’s multiple contacts from early afternoon til mid evening reinforces productivity with its stabilizing influence til late. Mercury square Mars cautions us to watch our tongues but can also support saying something with grace that might have otherwise come out confrontational.

Sun 18 Moon has entered free thinking Uranus ruled Aquarius amplifying the impact of yesterday’s inspirational and/or crazy disruptive major aspect. Very early Moon-Pluto collaboration creates a serious mood where it’s easier to open our eyes to what we’ve been unwilling to see. Jupiter’s sextile to multidimensional Chiron today combines a higher awareness of what we need to incorporate into the process of healing old wounds personally and collectively, such a huge part of 2025. If we don’t see how we got to where we are now the ability to move forward healed and renewed is lost. Opening up to the suffering we experience and the suffering we witness is the only way through. Fully experienced grief and joy are, as we often say, crucial aspects of healing to the core.

Mon 19 Aquarius Moon invites flights into the unknown, the wierd, wild and entirely out of bounds where creativity plays freely. This is where we need to hang out more as the coming months challenge us to shift, adapt, innovate and thrive.

Tues 20 Sun-Saturn support long term plans based on practicality and most importantly vision; highest and finest visions for the future as Saturn the Manifester vibrates at last degrees of Pisces with Ceres infusing the wisdom of Divine Mother/Nurturer. At Last Quarter Moon today we enter final week of the cycle where going over whatever we have in progress, tying up loose ends, unloading excess baggage are the best accomplishments. Moon enters Pisces quite early for next 2 days of more flow and/or foggy thinking, with a tip to let go of mental puzzles for now. Then Sun ends its monthly journey in earth sign Ta**us shifting to curious, flexible Gemini just before midnight. Making connections, going further with new ones, networking, sharing ideas and inspirations all favored. Gemini loves the eclectic approach in all areas while appreciation of differences thrives and social world expands. There’s a need however to stay away from too much empty chatter and too busy minds that can lead to ungroundedness and anxiety. Sending the breath down into heart center and even lower into navel area grounds the airy energies and calms the entire system.
More major planetary shifts on the upcoming weekend! Stay tuned.

AstroRain Report May 7- 13
A week where exploring, acknowledging and integrating the up to now hidden forces at work in the world and in personal lives must be approached with a strong and open heart, and a certain level of mental discipline.

Wed 7 Analyzing, fine tuning and sacralising are Virgo Moon processes as it makes 5 aspects over the course of the day. These patterns require tasks and practices helping to unravel tangles, solve puzzles, ideally clear unpaid accounts in the material, mental, emotional even spiritual realms. Afternoon and evening patterns heighten discomfort where we’ll need to shift into a more multi-dimensional perspective. Articulating the tools, information, networks are most effective, available and workable are an important themes. Especially so in the midst of Pluto’s first week in its potent dive into the underworld, fortunately an area the planet of transformations is most comfortable with. 9:11 pm Moon-Saturn opposition brings us face to face with what it looks like not to clear those still hanging accounts. Better do our work.

Thurs 8 After midnight Luna enters cardinal air sign Libra until very early Saturday morning, a period particularly beneficial for coming into better rapport and equanimity with all the relationship/partnership chaos going on. This includes however some wonderful and surprising new connections and developments in existing ones. It also supports getting back to ourselves after the possible endings and break ups happening. Most essential now is honesty with ourselves and others about our own part in the changes. Expressing ourselves through art, or artfully, are excellent opportunities especially with the aspects Moon makes with Pluto, Venus and Mars into early evening.

Fri 9 Fairly clear of tensions and challenges as Luna in her most gracious mood in Libra enhances any efforts at diplomacy, improving partnership give and take, creating more harmony in the physical environment. Libra always favors artistic expression of any kind as well with all the benefits of increased well being activated creativity brings.

Sat 10 Mercury enters Ta**us for a quick 2 weeks in the earth sign preferring the slowest movement. With Sun also in Ta**us for most of this period we have much needed support for remembering our earthy nature, taking better care of the physical body, attending more closely to priorities and personal values. Good timing to go over how we can fine tune the use of available resources and strategize for increasing income in more creative, and perhaps unexpected, ways. However morning lunar aspects look awkward as Moon aspects Uranus and Saturn pushing for an adjustment in expectations and maybe in the day’s commitments. Moon enters Scorpio early afternoon as it builds tensions and emotions toward May’s particular Full Moon lunacy.

Sun 11 Mother’s Day was founded by Mothers for Peace not as a one day a year appreciation of the person who raised us up. This one with Scorpio Moon on its way to full has a lot going on but only one conflict aspect mid morning.

Mon 12 Full Moon at 23rd degree of Scorpio 9:56 am carries full force the intensity of the week’s energy field with heightened influence of Pluto also being ruler of the lunation. Cannot escape the darker aspects of reality, personally and collectively. 55th anniversary of Kent State was on the 5th along with Cinco de Mayo celebrations. This interface of grief, injustice with affirming and celebrating the joy of being alive is exactly where we are if we’re being authentic with ourselves about what life in 2025 is all about. In 1970 the United States government showed us it could and would execute protesters, student or otherwise, with impunity. Here we are in how that how has impacted the workings of democracy, or presumed democracy, since then. We’d had a president assassinated 7 years earlier because of his opposition to US military interference in the world and in the growing power and unconstitutional Israel/US alliance in war and intimidation and in the apartheid those countries have imposed in what used to be Palestine. Largely experienced subliminally with most not aware of the implied intimidation of these acts history tells us the impact is nonetheless potent in the consciousness of the nation. (Kent State Tribunal taken to the United Nations in 2015 while more has been revealed since then) What has developed in the particularly Plutonian and treasonous alliance of US/Israel, by way of direct foreign influence in Congress for decades, has become all out Genocide and destruction in Gaza. Crimes against humanity, crimes against life itself have reached their extreme and it’s clearly not AI that will save us. We are and we must re-learn how to be human.
Chiron-Eris in a tense aspect with Moon charges up the all areas of human injustice and brutality played out in our world ongoing and ever increasing.The War Machine power structure threatening all life is peaking in desperation to maintain and increase control over the entire globe, all her resources and all the people. Ancient injustices have led us to this point.
Moon opposed by electrifying, disruptive Uranus and trine stabilizing Saturn in Pisces which offers more ease in grounding while able to move with the waves of energy coming through. Both these aspects can be experienced as chaotic and intolerable mayhem if we aren’t practicing the best centering and anxiety releasing protocols we know. If not having any now is the time to do an effective search for remedies, meditations, breathwork and direct contact with nature in favored places to navigate with wisdom and relative calm. Emotions are high with so many around us challenging ability to stay present and even helpful where that’s a possibility.
Revelations hitting public awareness run the spectrum from terrifying to enlightening with Uranus in league with the Sun. The disruptions, shocks, inspirations assured while perhaps a radical shift with leadership, from microcosm to macrocosm. Mercury’s exact square with Pluto increases the potency of words making it crucial for extra mindfulness. That includes the self talk we engage in much more than we know most of the time. Monitoring all thoughts, messages, conversations, interactions with care can bring us into more profound understanding in the most difficult situations. Power dynamics and power structures are revealed as never before, we can make conscious decisions about our part in enabling the ones out of balance and integrity. Re-negotiating those areas is most beneficial in this especially rich with possibilities combination of patterns.
Meanwhile the Northern Hemisphere bursts into flowering with the exquisite beauty, divine fragrances and pure joy of life. We ‘re reminded to slow down, breathe deeply and feel our indestructible roots all the way into the very center of Gaia’s iron core. From there we can draw all the strength and stamina, nurturing and earth wisdom we could possibly need to carry us on our way.

Tues 13 Moon has shifted to Sagittarius and contacts Neptune, Pluto, Mercury and Venus very early to mid evening. Talk about wisdom, the mutable fire sign offers higher perspectives while encouraging the search for meaning within all the most incomprehensible events, situations and internal struggles Scorpio Full Moon has highlighted.

May 4 Cross Quarter between Equinox and Solstice
Astrological Beltane - Pluto retrograde

One of the eight Sacred Gateways of the yearly round, this turning of the seasons marks halfway to Summer Solstice and is particularly crucial this year as it’s accompanied by Pluto’s pivot to turn “backwards” for the next few months. All that Pluto represents arising from the depths to align us with the transformative processes at work in our lives and in the very cells of our bodies as well as in the shifting world around us.
Today may be almost overwhelmingly packed with power issues; where we take on personal power, give it away and what the consequences are right now with all of that. Power dynamics of all sorts to be dealt with making it important to experience where we may be out of of balance in our realm and commit to doing what’s necessary to come back into integrity. Relationships and partnerships of all kinds are especially on the hot seat as the chart ofr today highlights no less than twelve aspects to Juno the asteroid most aligned with them, including an exact opposition to Uranus the groundbreaking, ground shaking harbinger of Change with a capital C.
Shifts, shocks and surprises manifesting as breakthroughs, endings, changes in the form the connection takes are in the works for everything for all aspects of partnering; personal, professional, local to distance pairings, national and international. We need to be prepared to go along with the major energy releases which may include rejuvenation of connections that have fallen into a stuck mode or unexpected exits.
Old unresolved issues up for solutions, even and especially in our most fundamental relationship within our own depths. Pluto demands fearless authenticity with awakened consciousness as it makes the deep digging pivot in air sign Aquarius. Winds of change blow hard right now with Pluto and Uranus, challenging us to keep our roots firmly planted in the ground (all the way to the center of the Earth!) and our heads and hearts wide open to the great unknown before us.
Global power dynamics meanwhile undergoing huge shifts that remain mostly hidden in the USA since we’re not given the benefit of real news from the rest of the world. Instead we receive mostly edited and manipulated to suit the agendas of the power structure now in the process of crumbling, even from our “alternative” media for some of the most crucial stories. Example would be the growing alliances among countries outside of Western dominance that are increasingly bypassing the control and intimidation US has employed for far too long. We’re shifting into an era where war and economic control of one nation over others has reached its logical and devastating conclusion while we learn to exist and co-create within unity consciousness. .Sounds way more fun than extinction.

AstroRain Report April 30 - May 6
We’re in the last 4 days of the period with all planets direct from the 30th. Time for clearer, smoother steps forward and decisions, alliances and agreements made. With Pluto the only planet retrograde for next 2 months we still have support for progress in many areas, along with the caution from Pluto for closer attention to underlying, hidden elements of significant situations, projects, partnerships in personal or professional realms. Power dynamics within personal experience and most definitely in the world at large require a fearless approach to whatever’s going on which may not be easily apparent. Since Pluto-Mars (intensely dangerous as well as courage inspiring) opposition squared New Moon last week it’s highly influential pivot on the First Quarter Moon phase enhances those potent energies set loose at start of the new cycle.

Wed 30 Talkative, curious and diversity loving Gemini Moon joins Jupiter early starting the day with good thoughts. We comprehend from a higher perspective or if ungrounded can get distracted by too many things at once, unhelpful exaggerations, too much empty chatter or letting the head rule the heart. In any case it’s excellent for writing or all kinds of presentations, advertising, or expansion of a commercial venture. By mid morning Venus re-enters Aries firing up creativity and the heart’s desire.
Referring back to whatever was going on for us in February, when Venus was in Aries before turning retrograde, we may be claiming or re-claiming our own self worth, while perhaps needing to assert that in some way right now. In the collective the warp speed changes in economic conditions worldwide is leaving us with nothing to do but dedicate ourselves to what matters most and stay with that. Fierceness of the feminine is on the rise in this next stage of 2025’s head spinning changes as Venus is on fire with life affirming righteousness. This comes as resistance to the out of balance, out of control, and out of time, male dominance on a mission to lock down more control. Old paradigm about death and destruction is reaching its ultimate end point.
Afternoon and evening aspects with Chiron and Saturn may compel us to re-check our work and interactions today to make sure we’re 100% aligned in personal integrity.

Thurs 1 Moon has changed to home sign Cancer after midnight into very early Saturday morning turning us more toward domestic concerns, nurturing, comfort, security. Sometimes Cancer’s influence can get us stuck in memories, too much focus on the past sometimes afraid to move on. Most favorable for considering, appreciating, honoring our roots and where we’ve been without getting stuck there. An early quincunx, uncomfortable aspect to Pluto can start us off with vague fears, suspicions or regrets requiring an emotional shift on our part. Let It Go. Evening sextile with Sun in Ta**us wants us to relax and savor what’s good in our realm with gratitude.
However today in the US chart Jupiter joins natal Mars expanding on the themes of aggression, imposing one’s will and authority in exaggerated ways, all of which are the negative possibilities and since that’s the US modus operandi
(in spite of all manufactured excuses for the aggressions)
what we can most expect. As a nation we may explode today with more dramatic, shaky and confusing news and events. With the sign Gemini and US leadership’s ongoing history of aggressively overstepping boundaries in the global community this aspect indicates a mass tangle of complications. Nothing new really but in the news most likely the excrement hits the fan so to speak. Of course the truth also hits the collective if we can maintain our ability to sort through the web of lies and half truths. And truth has its way in the end so whatever is looking bad now can be turned around as long as the People realize their power. Uranus is on that mission particularly as it enters Gemini in July for the next few years. The planet of more humane and inclusive of all life forms social structures is currently trining US Pluto, squaring US Moon. The power (Pluto) within the People (Moon) is being released to the next level of rebellion.

Fri 2 Venus joins Neptune gifting us with increased fine tuning in all matters of love and money. Although it can amplify an already unsteady situation if we’re not aligned with our values and being clear and in integrity in these areas. Wonderful aspect for all kinds of artistic expression, and done in our own unique and self-affirming way. In the big picture messes in the financial world causing fortunes to disappear are likely, but that’s not the big fortunes, that’s the ones where lifelong hard working people suffer loss in order to feed the ravenously insatiable billionaire class. For now. Time for a new paradigm where feeding the world is the priority while not enabling those addicted to having it all for themselves. Cancer Moon reminds us we’re all family who just forgot that crucial part of being human. Emotions may be fairly wild today, especially early evening aspect with Chiron. Feed the soul as carefully as we feed the body is one of the messages.

Sat 3 Leo Moon forms aspects with Neptune, Venus, Pluto, Mars early morning to early evening for a period charged with the most pressing elements of our lives at present. Leo favors approaching from the heart, the place of higher wisdom and intelligence than the brain, or everyday mind, could ever get to on its own. Late morning’s the biggest challenge of the day in Moon-Pluto opposition tempting us to descend into pessimism or other negative musings. Way out of that is to face the most difficult thing arising without letting it take us down.

Sun 4 Pluto’s turn to retrograde occurs abut an hour and a half after Sun-Moon perfect their First Quarter square making this an especially potent turning point in the current cycle. Again, facing the scary, the ugly and the actually heinous qualities of world events and personal crises helps us orient where we need to be now and what our part can be in relieving suffering. Being present is ultimately the best gift we can offer, to others near and far, and of course to ourselves as well. Power dynamics are prominent always when Pluto’s influence is a factor. We can learn so much about those dynamics and where we may be giving away or taking on too much personal power ourselves.

Mon 5 Void Moon from early to 12:40 pm advises not beginning anything of importance in that period. But Mercury-Jupiter in a harmonious pattern encourage connecting in lively exchanges and/or articulating something important to present purposes. Writing down insights and new perceptions can be particularly helpful.
Moon enters Virgo at end of void period for 2 days of analyzing, sorting, cleaning, clearing in home or work space, improving relationships with co-workers or those under our authority. Also very good days for attention to health concerns and where we can create more beneficial daily routines as well as sacred rituals.

Tues 6 Venus-Pluto connect for a deeper look at relationships and/or finances. Mercury-Chiron join today as well energizing important connections, ideas and enhancing ability to articulate what we're passionate about from the depths of the soul.Of course how we do that is crucial, diplomacy works wonders. Then again sometimes loud and in their face is called for, in service to the highest good!
