The Sun moves into Taurus on the 11th, boosting our personal and social growth. It encourages reflection and communication on the 14th. The flow is smooth, so it’s a good time to expand our usual circles. From the 21st, the Sun enters Gemini. Starting on the 22nd, we feel restless, struck by flashes of clarity, and eager to challenge existing rules. On the 25th, we engage with an ideal to embody, and on the 26th, we begin exploring its foundations.Mercury leaves Aries on the 3rd to enter Taurus. Be cautious of rigid stances and positions that leave no room for dialogue on the 5th; a bit of flexibility is advisable. Communication becomes warmer and smoother on the 13th, and a contagious enthusiasm can unite everyone. From the 17th, Mercury enters Gemini, its home sign: ideas spark, discussions are creative, and the chance to innovate allows a new world to emerge on the 18th and 19th. On the 22nd, it’s important to channel these somewhat chaotic flows so they lead to concrete initiatives.
Venus in Gemini fosters creativity, but it’s important to give our projects solid foundations on the 1st, without skimming over the details. From the 19th, Venus moves into Cancer, offering an opportunity to strengthen family ties and invest in real estate on the same day. Watch out for excessive daydreaming on the 22nd, as our fantasies may clash with obstacles or trigger them on the 29th.
Mars in Aries encourages action, initiative, and boldness. On the 5th, be careful not to move too fast, to avoid destabilizing family or social structures. Mars enters Taurus on May 18th, heightening our emotions and desire to fully experience life on the 19th. Exercise caution on the 26th: an aggressive Mars could generate hidden tensions and trigger a delayed crisis.
Jupiter, transiting Cancer since June 9, 2025, organizes our environment to help us thrive in protective and secure structures. In May, Jupiter amplifies everything it touches, especially our combative instincts on the 5th, beware of sudden excesses. Fortunately, the giant planet boosts enthusiasm and the desire to find agreements, fostering creative and constructive exchanges on the 11th, 13th, and 14th.
Saturn tempers Aries’ impulsivity but supports new beginnings and lasting directions. In May, the austere planet channels emotions on the 1st, encourages constructive discussions and reasoned exchanges on the 22nd, but could cool the atmosphere on the 29th, turning its moderating role into a source of frustration, particularly emotionally.
Uranus, in Gemini since April 26th, urges us to move from one life to another, from one world to another. There’s no time to hesitate: it’s time to embrace new ways that shake up habits. In May, Uranus strongly stimulates the mind: ideas explode, the old world collapses, and a new version of our human story emerges on the 18th and 22nd. Hold on tight, it’s a fast pace.
Neptune, back in Aries since January 26th, gives new momentum to a world lacking vision. New ideals bloom and inspire societies, but we must avoid believing we hold absolute truths. In May, Neptune fuels imagination on the 19th and 25th, inviting transformation, but reminds us on the 22nd to stay grounded.
Pluto in Aquarius opens the doors to both the best and the worst. Technology and AI can improve daily life, especially in medicine, but their use risks virtualizing our world, disconnecting us from ourselves, or encouraging abuse. We must remain in control of our creations to ensure they serve worthy purposes. In May, Pluto intensifies tensions and fuels anger on the 5th but refocuses us on constructive ideas and creative revolutions on the 19th. Be mindful on the 26th: act cautiously and don’t let unconstructive emotions take over.
Astrology: What You Need to Know
As the Moon moves at full speed in the zodiac (it travels approximately one sign in two days), we can't detail its evolution in our astral press review! However, its influence can activate sensitive points in the map of our sky... If you wish to know the Moon's position day by day, consult the ephemerides*, which will inform you about the daily position of the planets.
GMT (Greenwich time meridian): universal time to which you have to add (currently) for France one hour in winter and two hours in summer to determine at what exact moment the planet enters a new sign, crosses another planet, etc...
The planets in retrograde: The apparent movement of a planet that gives the impression that the planet stops and then starts again. This phenomenon actually results from the difference between the speed of revolution of the planet and Earth around the Sun. In astrology, a retrograde represents a force that works against the current. Generally, it corresponds to the internalization of energy. Sometimes, it means restraining evolution and recommends that the individual ask themselves about the work to be done to free themselves from the debts of the past or to exploit their potential more consciously!
Domicile of a planet: The sign in which a planet evolves in affinity (for example, Venus in Taurus). The planet then expresses its potential without constraint, freely and creatively...
