“Your brain and your heart are gardens. Your thoughts and desires are the seeds.” ~AstroNana
May 2025
Hello Dear Readers and Friends,
The best way to predict your future is to create it. Abraham Lincoln said that. He was right! What thoughts, feelings and desires are most important to you? You can create the life that you desire by first feeling what it would be like to live that life and actually start living it right now.
If this year has taught me anything thus far it’s to ‘slow down’ before I burn out. I was energetically sick in January through mid-April. All of those retrograde planetary energies, especially Mars retrograde as it flowed from Leo back into Cancer and then slowly moved forward back into Cancer and then Leo (where Mars remains until June 17th). Mars is the planet of energy. My energy felt zapped. I couldn’t get enough sleep. When I awoke I was still tired. The Moon’s nodes shifted into Pisces/Virgo in January too – which totally wiped me out! No, it’s not about age and getting older. Every highly sensitive person I talked to (of various ages) was feeling this way too. We all felt like we were on a Universal pause mode, which didn’t start to slowly get better until after mid-April.
“Why?’ you may ask
Well let’s break this down so you can understand what’s truly going on.
2025 is a Universal #9 vibration year, which is a releasing, internal and external decluttering, healing, and slowing down period of time. But at the same time as the healing and releasing takes place there’s forward motion towards wonderful life improvements.
In order to heal (consciously and subconsciously, mind, body, soul) we must first become aware of what ails us; which has been coming to the surface and will continue throughout this year. What situations in your past do you feel may be currently blocking and stalling you from moving forward as quickly as you desire to?
Yes it’s challenging and yet once aware of what needs to be healed/released then the soothing healing and progress begins. This healing takes time. Be extra good to yourself and to all those you love. They too are going through their own healings in whatever ways they need to in order to feel better in their lives.
This is a cycle of renewal and rejuvenation in every area of our lives.
Acceptance is important too. No longer can we bury our heads in the sand and hope that we don’t need to deal with these issues at all. Topics from childhood wounds and relationship issues (especially the relationship we have with ourselves) are all needing to be uncovered for improvements to begin.
There’s no need to blame anyone nor yourself. What you’ve experienced has actually helped to make you stronger and wiser…not to block you.
Honesty with your emotions is the key. Give yourself credit. Realize that what happened in the past is still teaching you how to transform your life for the better.
Let go of perfection (south node in Virgo). Instead strengthen your faith (North Node in Pisces) towards knowing that what you desire now, how you truly choose to live your life more joyfully, can be accomplished.
All of the planetary energies were and are pointing towards this important lesson of slowing down, being more mindful, enjoying our lives more, setting boundaries; saying no to what causes us too much stress, allowing others to do more for themselves (it’s a gift to them), and taking better loving care of ourselves and our loved ones.
We’ve been through the hardest part, from January through Mid-May. We can begin to look forward to much better days ahead.
We must still remind ourselves that we are going through this healing process all year. To be more mindful and move more slowly…but to keep moving forward. Don’t get stuck in the past. We’ve been on pause mode for far too long. It’s time to baby step forward for personal healing and growth.
As we move through the energies of May keep an eye on where the signs of Taurus, Scorpio, and Gemini are in your own natal chart. It’s in these areas of your life that you can see the most important personal transformations going on. If you’re uncertain what these areas of your life are just send me a quick email to: michelle@astroenlightenment.com along with your birth information (Name, birth date, time of birth, City/State/Country of birth) and I will be happy to let you know. There is no fee for this. It’s a blessing from me to you to do this for you.
The Full Moon in Scorpio on Monday May 12th (12:56 pm EDT) is a very potent Full Moon that can bring to the surface how you deeply feel about sharing your resources with others (money, energy, time) and the balance you desire from others in regards to them sharing their resources with you. If there is a nice balance between you and others, you feel happy about that, then this Full Moon in Scorpio can continue to bring blessings into your life that you’ll feel grateful for.
It’s always nice to celebrate your life under the Full Moon; to look back upon your past month and with an attitude of gratitude be happy for everything that has worked out well.
On May 20th the Sun will move into the sign of Gemini kicking off Gemini season! May 25th the ruling planet for Gemini, Mercury, will happily move into Gemini too. The following evening, May 26th at 11:02 pm EDT, the New Moon in Gemini arrives to help us all to focus on new areas of our lives – helping us to become more extroverted, social, and want to communicate well with others. Benevolent Jupiter is also in the sign of Gemini until June 9th which brings many blessings into this new Gemini season.
What new adventures do you desire in your life? What social groups would you like to become a part of? Are you ready to be outdoors more? It will be time to get your butt off the couch and get your body moving! Most of all Gemini season can bring opportunities of enjoyment in your life! “Put the work away and come out and play!” says the Gemini vibrations at the end of this month and into the month of June.
Let the healing light in!
Have Fun!
