Starcodes May 30 2025
Even as the faster-moving personal planets help us adjust, relax, prepare for summer this week, and encourage our romantic vision- both in the poetic and personal sense- the slower planets call us to deeper work. Saturn has just entered Aries for the next few years (minus a few months retrograde this fall) and here it inspires questions about structure and leadership; what is leadership, who can really lead, who’s in charge, and where are we headed.
Every point in astrology symbolizes a continuum from its challenge, through its practical expression, to its gift. Saturn symbolizes structure, personal authority, boundaries, authority, our skeletons, and our societal infrastructures, and it is not comfortable in renegade Aries. Saturn in Aries’ challenge will deepen the political circus over who has jurisdiction, what are the core rules, who has control, and where are we headed.
Saturn in Aries gift supports leadership that is bold, brave, competent, protective, like an alpha wolf who will walks at the back of the pack to make sure the whole pack is good, no one is bullying, and no one is left behind. This Saturn calls for new leaders with a fresh and healthy sense of responsibility, and it encourages us to invest in strong infrastructure and responsible personal authority.
In our own lives Saturn in Aries asks us to investigate the structure of our lives, what builds real security that is freeing, not trapping, and how do we deepen our sense of purpose, responsibility, and personal authority.
This week, the two planets symbolizing our emotional milieu, are still trine in sparky fire signs, and add extra torque to anything we feel. Venus in Aries and Mars in Leo keep the fire cooking, keep our hearts alive and our moods passionate with love, opinions, impatience, impulse, celebration, and a flash temper. We work in fits and bursts rather than steady energy. Mercury and the Sun in Gemini keep us buzzing, writing, communications, but we have to add the depths or can get lost in the shallow swamps of gossip and sound bites.
As Friday begins, the introverted Cancer Moon adds an introspective quality to an extroverted time. That evening leads into a high energy weekend under the outgoing Leo Moon, encouraging us to rock the streets, engage in arts festivals, protests, and any collective outdoor event. Jupiter semi-sextiles restless Uranus and encourages a change of pace or a change of regime. Early next week a Virgo Moon helps us get back work, but with Sun, Moon, Mercury, and Jupiter all in nervy Mercury-ruled signs, the mood could be high strung, high-maintenance, or highly irritable, if we don’t give those nerves good work. From Wednesday on a friendlier Libra Moon reminds us to look to diplomacy and prioritize our human and more than human interactions, our relationships with all sentient beings.

The weekend starts mid-afternoon as that Moon trines Neptune interrupts our concentration and calls us to dive into the deep streams of life. tonight brings a moodier element as the Moon that Leo Moon opposes Pluto, we’re aware of what’s missing and could blame others, or we can savor healthy appreciation for what and who we do have in our life.

Saturday, May 31: Greet the world, butterfly through art shows, remember what we have in common with one another through social events that reach across boundaries. Choose carefully where to confront and where to build bridges.

Sunday, June 1: This mixed day can stir odd memories. Notice impatience this morning as the Moon conjuncts urgent Mars.

Monday, June 2: Deal with short attention spans this nervy, staccato day; speak in sound bites and work in spurts as the Virgo Moon squares the Sun and Mercury. Think of a million things that need doing, then sort down to a few and circulate between them. Laugh if we catch ourselves overthinking. This nervousness can express itself in a crinkling critical edge; if someone gets testy, don’t take it personally, don’t reward bad behavior but do find what’s bothering them and tend to that.
Moon square Sun 9:40 PM
Tuesday, June 3: Our nerves can be unsettled and our critique pointed this morning, but the mood improves if we see progress. Edit, repair, launder. Empathize with cranky people, help them feel heard. If feeling impatient, don’t bark at others; work it through and actually create a shift. Interactions flow best when short and to the point, but with a gentle kindness underneath.
Moon square Mercury 9:23 AM.
Wednesday, June 4: This potentially busy day brings astrological crosscurrents which change the mood hourly but can help us shift and change. Rather than random discontent, let’s make those changes purposeful experiments as the Moon enters open-hearted, peace-loving Libra while Venus semi-sextiles Uranus. People could feel the call to justice but want to avoid conflict; rather than hammer on the problem at hand, we’ll get more cooperation by finding and working towards a shared goal. Art, collaboration, compliments, a creative approach, all further.

Thursday, June 5: Get to the point, don’t waste time as communicative Mercury sextiles impatient Mars. People may feel hot under the collar, antsy about the future, or need to get something off their chest that has been niggling at them for a while; listen. Don’t take the discharge directly, don’t take it on board, but do give them room to process. Feel the heat soften as Venus enters earthy Taurus tonight.
