May 2025 Astrological Forecast
OVERALL
A rising Moon (positive) on the first of May enters the home and security sign of Cancer, followed by Venus (joy) moving into the zodiac sign of Aries (new beginnings), linking with Neptune (apprehensiveness) and Pluto (transformations). May will be a diverse and remarkable month for international mediations and events, with a few nice positive planetary aspects to assist and balance important geopolitical negotiations and world symposiums regarding peace talks, global currencies, future economic outlook, imports-exports, tariffs, and trade, followed by a few weeks of intense international economic monetary and currency budget adjustments by governments around the globe. The markets will have a few nice moves.
Mercury, planet of negotiations, deals and news, will commence a sixteen-day cycle during the 10th-26th through the zodiac sign of Taurus (money), creating a quake in global finances as the US dollar and stock markets begin to show transparency, affecting global markets, currencies, loans, and interest rates during May-June. With Uranus (change) also linking positively with the Moon’s nodes, expect a few trading venture surprises during the 1st-10th. However, do not get too excited with the markets, as the week of the 12th to 16th may have investors jumping the gun, endeavouring to catch up with previous fire sales and losses over the past three months. Also watch investments during 18th – 28th as banks, commodities, technology, and energy may show a few revelations as Mercury (news) meets with Uranus (sudden change).
From the 14th to the 27th Venus (income) links with Mars (strength), combining positively. This combination may influence a much-needed adjustment and balance of global inflationary conditions for reserve banks to consider interest rate cuts during May-June, boosting confidence in the banking fraternity to reduce rates for business and housing loans. The Sun (confidence) connecting with the moon’s Nodes and Uranus (alteration) from May 15th should also influence a more conservative aspect with overall cost of living for householders, as discounts for goods and services begin to show more value for the dollar. Commercial and residential infrastructure construction and residential property sales could see positive movement throughout May – June 2025. Precious metals should also continue to hold high during May to June 17, 2025.
PREPARATION TIME
The world from May 2025 onward is gradually preparing for the biggest monetary and security change in history, so be alert over the period May 1 - September 1, as Saturn (caution) enters Aries (employment) for a brief period, then returns to Pisces (limitations) on September 2, 2025, until February 14, 2026. During this cycle, Uranus (change) will also transit the zodiac sign of Gemini (double dealing), creating problems for the US over global tariffs, manufacturing, and trade. World leaders will be clambering to make their currency stronger. However, during the past thirty-five years, with massive globalization and escalated financial debt growing in every country, the time has come to realise the world cannot continue in the present financial direction, without conservative change. Expect to witness a cautious economic and financial transformation period for most countries between May 1, 2025 and April 26, 2026.
With Pluto (readjustment) now in transit through the zodiac sign of Aquarius (independence) until 2044, the US dollar will undergo a devaluation, but remain the world’s leading reserve currency. Uranus (alteration) is ready to pounce temporarily into the zodiac sign of Gemini (brokerage) from July 7, 2025 (its first appearance in Gemini in 84 years) and remain in Gemini (double dealing) until November 8, 2025, causing extraordinary deals, economic confusion, swinging profits, and tactless borrowing. Uranus will then return briefly back into the financial and economic sign of Taurus from November 8, 2025, shaking up markets, trade tariffs and local economies until April 26, 2026. Markets will be diabolical during this short six month cycle, until Uranus settles into the zodiac sign of Gemini (adjustment) from May 2026 to May 2033, completing a major world order change, like the 1940–49 period.
However, this time the long-term effects will be tremendously more powerful and permanent. Financial organizations, brokers, and advisers will change tack as Uranus (extremist) gathers momentum on its journey with Saturn (caution), Neptune (realization), and Pluto (readjustment), all combining and significantly affecting future investments, geopolitical relations, sovereignty, economic and financial security, and global stability. Although this whole period appears to be confusing and unsettling, rest assured. With major changes of planetary aspects between now and April 26, 2026, your superannuation, savings, stock investments, and bonds will show considerable profits for 2026 as certain global tariffs reduce. So be patient, 2026 will be a good year, as major debt declines and investment savings grow. Global retail prices will also adjust adequately for householders.
USA
During May, the transiting Sun (willpower) will connect, cross over the US natal Uranus (disruptions) from May 21st and link with the US natal Mars (determination) by June 10, 2025. US citizens can expect a very tense and insecure period ahead with trade tariff wars and restrictions of goods and services, causing material insecurities and economic concern for the population. This cycle will also be a critical planetary period for President Trump as he encounters a vital economic and governmental clash while a transiting Uranus (contradictions) conflicts with his own natal Mars (aggression). Also, Trump can expect unsettled opposition, disruption, and demonstrations amongst the American population. Trump is under enormous difficulty and pressure until April 26, 2026.
However, the good news is that Jupiter (legal-deals) will end its transit cycle through the zodiac sign of Gemini (duality-uncertainty) from June 9, 2025, influencing a slow, yet positive financial relief period ahead, with a secure future for the US throughout the next two years. Jupiter (beneficial) transits the home and security sign of Cancer until 30 June 2026, then switches to the material development sign of Leo during July 1, 2026 – July 26, 2027, perfect. With Saturn (conservative) in full force transit through Aries (employment) from February 14, 2026 to April 13, 2028, the American public will thank their “lucky stars” that President Trump’s economic plan to “Make America Great Again” is working profitably, with less international debt to follow. Patience makes perfect for the USA.
ECLIPSE AFTER-EFFECTS
In the March blog, I wrote that March will be an extraordinary astrological month due to two eclipses influencing the global horoscope over the next three months, and an array of interesting planetary aspects transiting in line throughout the next few months as well. The first (lunar) eclipse took place on March 14, 4:58 pm, AEST, in the zodiac signs of Pisces (changes) and Virgo (rational), which influenced North and South America, Europe, and Africa. The second (solar) eclipse, March 29, 8:47 pm, AEST, in the zodiac sign of Aries (new beginnings), shadowed Northwest Africa, Europe, and Northwest Russia. The main influences of these eclipses drove geopolitical events concerning major changes in the global economy, peace talks, world-wide elections, international trade, stock market nerves, weather pattern changes and temperature conditions, seismic activity, political demonstrations, population unrest, rise in unemployment, assassination attempts, and security alerts, particularly throughout Canada, USA, Mexico, Argentina, Ecuador, Chile, Nicaragua, Brazil, and Venezuela. The African and European continents will be full of news bulletins, which appear extremely disruptive, as eclipses can influence the death of royalty, important persons, politicians, or celebrities. With the Sun (worldly activities) and Saturn (caution) in transit through Pisces (confidentiality), it will be a time for world governments to secretly negotiate, organise, and endeavour to come to a compromise, and set foundations for future peace in war torn countries, and at the same time, deal positively and constructively with global trade, tariffs, and political limitations, including immigration problems.
The past March eclipses’ influences are still in perspective and usually take a good three months to ease the influences they cause. Expend duty and care during this May period, through to June 9, 2025; the aftereffects are still present with sudden and unexpected happenings in the world. If one is travelling during May, take care, as Pluto will be in retrograde (negative). Be extra cautious with money, belongings, accommodation, fires, transport, and strangers. Foolish or thoughtless actions may cause disappointment, difficulties, added expenditure, accidents, robberies, disputes, or health issues.
AUSTRALIA
I previously predicted that the Albanese Labor Government will return by national vote for another three-year term. According to the Australian horoscope there will be interesting developments for the country, especially during 2026-2028, attracting and securing overseas investment capital to Australia, and new employment opportunities for manufacturing, agriculture, fishing, forestry and exports-imports. We will also see lower interest rates for housing and real estate, improved technology and manufacturing of defence armament, record iron ore, uranium, minerals, coal and natural gas, increased overseas student applications for universities, and added tourism, ship and boat building, sport, and horse racing. Why? With tariffs running wild around the world from the US, Australia will have the opportunity to expand export markets to China, Vietnam, Singapore, Malaya, Borneo, Indonesia, Japan, South Korea, India, Shi Lanka, Pakistan, Great Britain, and the European Union.
Fortunately, Jupiter, the planet of expansion and financial opportunity, for the first time in twelve years will transit the business and marketing sectors of Australia’s horoscope over the next two years, boosting production and exports. With an increase in capital, Australia will be able to lower its international debt level much faster than the federal treasurer realises, bringing a surplus together in the federal budget by 2028. Australia is called the “Lucky Country”. A wealth of rare earth minerals, and energy to use and trade when necessary, will guarantee Australia’s economic security for the future. Pluto (nuclear) now in transit through Aquarius (technology-science) will form a positive aspect with Australia’s natal Jupiter (expansion), Uranus (electricity) and Neptune (energy) from 2033 to 2044. Australia appears to have a bill passed through federal parliament for the use of uranium as a major source of energy to power industrial manufacturing, businesses, and household use by 2044 -2046.
FORWARD ASTROLOGICAL WARNING
Astrologically, with global security becoming a priority for all countries, there are critical security issues that will face the Australian and New Zealand governments especially, between June 2029 to May 2033, as the dominant planets of Saturn (restriction), Uranus (unexpected), and Pluto (corruption) form a critical security pattern in both horoscopes. Asia and the South Pacific islands will be the most vulnerable for acceptance of bribery and corruption by heads of government. China and Russia will be expanding their future economic and security interests throughout these areas, with secret negotiations and compromises of cash flow deals for land, infrastructure, and harbour development.
From June 2025 onward, the following countries are astrologically vulnerable to security risks, political interference, and promise of total financial independence on their natal horoscopes for future years: Indonesia, Thailand, Solomon Islands, Tonga, Penrhyn/Tongareva, Manihiki, Papua New Guinea, Tuvalu, Kiribati, Vanuatu, Timor, and Tarawa -Gilbert Island group. Over the next decade these countries, islands, atolls, and territories are vulnerable to an invasion of piracy regarding fishing rights that eventually will cause these pacific nations to give in to corruption for survival. By the time Neptune (oceans-fishing) enters the zodiac sign of Taurus on March 24, 2039, the market price for fish will be prohibitive for the average person, and restrictions by governments for recreational fishing will destroy fishing for leisure anglers. Astrologically, it appears international fishing fleets will secretly employ overfishing and corrupt financial practices, creating massive ecosystem failures and severe changes in the oceans.
CHINA ON THE PROWL
China has recently been involved with naval activities in international waters off Australian and New Zealand coastlines, mainly for drills, intelligence gathering and hydrographic purposes. With Neptune (shipping) now in transit through the armed forces and defence sign of Aries until March 22, 2039, Chinese influence in these southern waters at present is only a small tip of the iceberg. Southern governments will be surprised to see larger flotillas of Chinese naval warships in the area over future years. China’s horoscope indicates, with Uranus (research) and Neptune (oceans) linking with Pluto (authority-depth), greater exploration for minerals and energy will be a priority for China over the next twenty years, combined with offering future protection for certain vulnerable territories in the South Pacific over time.
Although Australian and New Zealand navies and allies also scout around international waters near China and Taiwan for navigational, intelligence, and drill purposes, astrologically there appears to be no adverse incidents and circumstances pending between Eastern and Western naval command over the next two years. No war, just showing the flag and intelligence gathering and being a nuisance to shipping navigation and aviation.
WATCH LIST
The following countries will continue to be astrologically on the watch list for May, due to the slow planetary transits and negative aspects over these countries during May-July. Caution is advised when travelling to these places due to continuous possible unexpected adverse economic conditions, demonstrations, crowds, weather, seismic activity, or political disruption: Hong Kong, China, Haiti, Indonesia, Iraq, Honduras, Puerto Rico, Cape-Verde Islands, South Africa, Somalia, Sudan, Madagascar, Monaco, Portugal, Oman, Malta, Columbia, Malaysia, Japan, Brazil, North Korea, Russia, Ukraine, Liechtenstein, Namibia, Eire, Swaziland, Botswana, Kosovar, Syria, Singapore, Serbia, USA, Turkey, Romania, Morocco, Dominican Republic, Greece, Mozambique, Vietnam, Tunisia, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Ghana, Zambia, France, Spain, Israel, Lebanon, Palestine, Vietnam, Sri Lanka, Grenada, Saotome-Principe, Sikkim, Papua New Guinea, Philippines, Nepal, Seychelles, Angola, Timor, Ethiopia, Congo, Zimbabwe, Malawi, Albania, Belgium, Venezuela, Thailand, Canada, India, Costa-Rica, Khalistan, Brunei, Cyprus, Mexico, Pakistan, Saudi-Arabia, Yemen, Uruguay, Peru, Vatican City.
