Week Ahead Forecast: 19th to 25th of May 2025

If you are new to astrology read this first.

✨ Week Ahead Forecast: Change is afoot

Theme: The Beauty of Uncertainty

Welcome to the in-between.

This week we stand at a cosmic threshold. One story ends, another begins — and the air is crackling with change. Expect a little chaos, a few truth bombs, some sudden knowing, and a new chapter beginning that asks for courage.

We’re still vibrating from Sunday’s Uranus–Sun conjunction (the final one in Taurus!) — a last electric jolt from The God of Awakening. And as we move through the week, we head towards the real turning point: Saturn enters Aries on Sunday the 25th May.

This is a big deal.

But don’t panic — I’ll walk you through it.

⚡ Uranus Cazimi in Taurus (Sunday 18th May)

The Final Shockwave

Uranus, The Wild Card, stood in The Heart of The Sun. That’s what cazimi means — a planet so close to the Sun it’s burned clean.

This was the last of these electric heart-blasts in Taurus. A final revelation, a wake-up, a divine detonation in the realm of your life that’s been shifting since 2018.

Newbie Tip:

This energy can feel like:

• Unexpected news

• Technology going haywire

• Sudden clarity

• Feeling like you are glitching out of an old version of reality

💥 Trust the jolt. Whatever’s shifting — it’s part of your liberation.

🪐 Saturn at 29° Pisces – All Week

Graduation from the Dreamworld

Before He strides into Aries on Sunday, Saturn is finishing His long, slow walk through Pisces — the last degree of the last sign.

This is the end of the zodiacal road.

The last few years have been all about surrender, disillusionment, and devotion. Pisces asks us to believe. Saturn asks us to make it real. That dance hasn't been easy — but it's brought you here.

Newbie Tip:

This week might feel:

• Exhausting (like final exams for your soul)

• Emotionally foggy

• Like you’re floating between what’s ended and what hasn’t started

🎓 Ask: What have I really learned about myself these past two years? Where have I faced the truth, softened, deepened? This is your moment to honour that.

🌞 Sun Enters Gemini – Tuesday 20th May

Time to Connect the Dots

The Sun zips into Gemini and suddenly the mood lifts. We’re curious again. Distracted. Chatty. Tapping ideas into our Notes app at 2am. Gemini season is all about the mind in motion.

Newbie Tip:

This might show up as:

• Feeling suddenly BUSY

• Wanting to learn ALL THE THINGS

• The urge to talk, text, write, communicate

• An existential crisis while scrolling Wikipedia at 1am

🧠 Use the buzz to explore, not fix. Gemini doesn’t need certainty — it needs play.

💖 Venus Trine Mars – Thursday 22nd May

Love Gets Brave

Venus (in bold Aries) is trine Mars (in Leo). This is a gorgeous fire trine between the Lovers — and Venus is the one calling the shots here.

She’s assertive, clear, and knows what she wants.

This energy says: stop waiting for permission to love what you love. Choose desire. Choose your path. And let that passion move you forward.

Newbie Tip:

You might feel:

• More flirty, bold, energised

• A desire to reach out, connect, create

• A push to take action on your passions

• A fire in your belly for something (or someone!)

🔥 Let the Lovers inspire your courage. This is hot, magnetic, forward-moving energy.

🪐 Saturn Enters Aries – Sunday 25th May

The Fire is Lit

This is the real turning point.

Saturn leaves Pisces and steps into Aries, the first sign of the zodiac. It’s the God of Responsibility entering the sign of Impulse.

This is the beginning of a whole new karmic cycle — for us individually and collectively. Saturn in Aries says:

💥 It’s time to grow up into yourself.

💥 Take the lead. Build your life. Start something real.

💥 But don’t rush — this is sacred fire, not a sparkler.

Newbie Tip:

This shift may feel like:

• Sudden pressure to ‘figure it out’

• Wanting a fresh start, but not knowing how

• A strange combo of fear and excitement

• A desire to do something bold but... not yet

👣 This is not the time to sprint. It’s the time to begin. Slowly. Deliberately. Like striking a match in the dark.

🌱 Weekly Reflection: The Beauty of Uncertainty

Inspired by KT Tunstall’s song of the same name (listen here) — this week invites you to sit in the space between the known and unknown. To not rush into certainty. To be brave enough to listen to your own rhythm.

Let Venus trine Mars remind you: love is never guaranteed. But it’s always worth showing up for.

Let Saturn whisper: your courage doesn’t have to be loud. It just has to be real.

Let Gemini’s breeze remind you to laugh. To play. To trust that it’s okay not to have it all figured out.

Let Uranus’s echo remind you that you can change. In a flash.

Let it all move you. Don’t try to trap it in a plan.

🪐 Saturn in Aries by Rising Sign

Here’s your sneak peek at the themes Saturn will start to shape over the coming months. This is a slow-burn transit (He’ll dip back into Pisces in September, then return fully in 2026). But it starts now.

Aries Rising

You are the blueprint. The work begins with you. Identity, boundaries, leadership. Who are you, really — and are you willing to become it?

Taurus Rising

Your inner world gets a shake-up. This is about solitude, spiritual practice, and endings. The Work is unseen but powerful. You’re pruning what’s dead so new life can grow.

Gemini Rising

Friendships, communities, and your place in the world. You’re being asked to take responsibility for your belonging. Are you aligned with the people you're growing into?

Cancer Rising

Your work in the world is up for review. Career. Vocation. Authority. Saturn asks: are you building a life that reflects your truth?

Leo Rising

Time to grow your mind. Saturn says: take your beliefs seriously. Commit to study. Teach. Share. Walk your talk. The future needs your voice.

Virgo Rising

Deep waters. Intimacy, inheritance, shared resources. Saturn here wants trust and clarity. Boundaries are sacred. What are you willing to merge with — and what must remain yours?

Libra Rising

Relationships go under the microscope. But this is not about blame. It’s about integrity. Saturn teaches you how to be in relationship without losing yourself.

Scorpio Rising

Your daily life is the classroom. Routine. Health. Service. Saturn here wants structure, not stress. This is about building a life that sustains you.

Sagittarius Rising

Creativity, children, joy, love — but Saturn says: take your pleasure seriously. This is the Work of the Heart. What do you really love? Make time for it. Build it into your life.

Capricorn Rising

Home, family, roots. Saturn brings restructuring. This might mean healing family stories or literally rebuilding your home life. It's tender, but powerful.

Aquarius Rising

Your mind is the muscle. Saturn in your 3rd asks: are you being thoughtful with your words, your voice, your learning? Clear thinking is sacred work now.

Pisces Rising

Money. Value. Worth. Saturn here wants you to build something solid. It’s not about wealth for its own sake, but what it allows you to do. What does true security mean to you?

For those new to astrology:

This forecast assumes a bit of an understanding of astrology and some practice at feeling into the energy of the moment to see how it's manifesting for you in your experience. If you are a beginner then it may not be easy to discern or feel, especially when everything is so loud.

So, a recommendation: If you are learning, then pick one of the transits - whatever feels most interesting to you - and take note of when it is happening. Then just pay attention to what themes arise - I'll make some suggestions in the newbie note. Notice what’s showing up in your mood, your body, your conversations, or even in the stories you’re drawn to on telly or in the news. It’s not about getting it “right”, it’s about getting curious. That’s where the magic starts.

As you get more practiced with noticing you can expand your awareness to more than one transit in the week and before long you'll be immersed in the astrology and your way of being in, and experiencing the world, will have shifted into something altogether more magical!

For more on all this, read this post.

You may also find the rising sign forecast helpful because this will narrow the range to where you're most likely to feel and notice the transits in your life. If you don't know your rising sign then fill in this contact form and give me your birth date, place and time and I will send you a picture of your birth chart and an overview of your rising sign. If you'd like a comprehensive overview of your chart then book a reading with me and I'll explain it all to you!

A note on AI & my writing:

I use ChatGPT as a writing assistant—not as a writer. These are my thoughts, ideas, and words, shaped by my lived experience and deep love for self-work, self-awareness, the spiritual journey, and astrology. AI helps me refine, structure, and nudge me toward better phrasing, but the voice you’re reading is mine. I use it as a tool to help me put into words everything I believe is valuable in sharing my insights. Honesty matters to me, and this is simply one way I bring my thoughts to life.
