A Week of the Feminine Voice

May 12 - May 18, 2025 | Tone of the week

What needs to be said?
What distortions are you beginning to witness in your deep belly?
What can your voice help to sever—cords that are repressing your true essence?

It’s Taurus Season, where our voice is born in the sacral—rooted in the creative sensitivity of our depths. Venus, ruler of the season, is currently in Aries, bold enough to take up space and place the self at center. The Scorpio Full Moon has invoked the dark feminine, with Black Moon Lilith now in Scorpio—urging us to use our throats to clear what has bound us. The energy of the Warrior-Empress, the Witch, is rising.

As the moon begins to wane this week, we enter the summer—or maturing—phase of Taurus Season’s light. Once the emotional tides of the Full Moon recede midweek, it’s time to step forward with courage in your values. By the weekend, the focus shifts toward structure: organizing your metaphorical (and literal) gardens and making the beauty you've been planting sustainable and systemized.

Find maturity in your voice, and purpose in what you assign value to.


The Week in Transits

Venus out of Shadow | Friday May 16th

Venus, the ruler of Taurus Season, finally clears her post-retrograde shadow, crossing the degree where she once reversed course.

With just a few days left in the season, you may feel a sense of forward momentum returning. Some of your value-oriented goals may finally feel clear—ready to charge ahead.

In Aries, Venus embodies the Celtic goddess Brigid, fire in her head. Brigid rules inspiration, poetry, protection, and metalwork. Channel her flame into your passions. Use it to forge new paths, protect your emerging self, and infuse life with poetic freshness.

As a side note, Mercury has also moved into Taurus, adding momentum to the season. Expect extra doses of communication, movement, and connection around beauty, value, and pleasure. These final days of Taurus Season breathe motion into what has felt like a sleepy spring.

 

Ceres in Aries | Friday May 16, 2025 - March 15, 2026

Ceres, goddess of the harvest, enters Aries—the sign of the Pioneer. In a modern lens, Ceres shows us how we bring things to fruition through processes, systems, and care. In Aries, she’s ready to forge new territory in the way we work, nurture, and build daily rhythms.

With her retrograde happening in this sign later this year, we’re buckling up for a 10-month journey of clearing what no longer feels vital, bright, or true.
This is a powerful time to rediscover who you are by creating space for new work, wellness, projects, and parenting paths—anything you hope to see bear fruit in your life.

Sun conjuncts Uranus | Saturday, May 17th

As a final, potent note, Uranus will align with the Sun on Saturday night, disappearing beneath its rays.

This brings a moment of inner clarity around what we need to liberate from—especially in the realm of values. It echoes themes from the Scorpio Full Moon, but with a broader, more collective lens. What societal systems or group dynamics are calling for soul-searching? Let your inner world shake and shimmer to help you see your beauty, values, and preferences in radically new ways.
