May 3, 2025 Current Southern Hemisphere/Tomorrow’s Northern Hemisphere Moon Phase

Source: nineplanets.org

The current moon phase for May 3rd, 2025 is the Waxing Crescent phase.

On this day, the moon is 5.97 days old and 39.86% illuminated with a tilt of 144.375°. The approximate distance from Earth to the moon is 382,262.20 km and the moon sign is Leo.

The Moon phase for May 3rd, 2025 is a Waxing Crescent phase. This is the phase where the moon started to become visible again after the New Moon.

In this part of the moon cycle, the Moon is moving away from the Sun and is becoming more and more illuminated by sunlight. In this phase, the moon will go from 0.1% to 49.9% illuminated before reaching the First Quarter phase.

In the Waxing Crescent phase the moon rises before noon in the east, transits the meridian before sunset, before setting in the west before midnight.

The Waxing Crescent phase, like all moon phases, will last for just over 7 days. The actual length will vary because of the elliptical shaped orbit of the moon. The moon is close to the Sun in the sky and the right edge will become brighter as it approaches 50% illumination and the First Quarter phase

Fun fact: although only a small part of the Moon is illuminated in the Waxing Crescent phase, you can still sometimes see the rest of moon as faintly visible. This is known as “earthshine” or Da Vinci glow and is a result of sunlight being reflected off the Earth and back to the Moon.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

**** Today you have genuine feelings of compassion and concern for those who are less fortunate; or perhaps, someone close to you who needs help? You will do whatever you can to help others because you know what it’s like to walk a mile in someone else’s moccasins.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

** Although this is a warm and fuzzy day for most; for you, this “warm and fuzzy” influence hits your Money House, which means it could compromise your financial reasoning. You might think a deal is better than it is. You might spend too much on luxury. Beware!

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

**** Today you might find yourself feeling warm affection or concern for a parent, or an older relative, or even a boss or someone in authority. In turn, others might see you as a person who is caring and responsible. Nevertheless, avoid important decisions today. Take it easy.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

**** Because your appreciation of beauty is heightened today, give yourself a chance to enjoy beautiful surroundings. Visit art galleries, museums, beautiful parks, gorgeous architectural buildings, or pristine nature. You might also be drawn to inspiring philosophies. You might choose to help a cause.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

*** Today people feel romantic, inspired, flirtatious, warm hearted and affectionate to others. They also feel generous and appreciative. And you feel these things as well; however, this influence is hitting your Money House, which might tempt you to give away the farm. Caution!

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

***** This might be one of the most friendly and romantic days of the year for you. Enjoy warm friendships with others. Enjoy romantic dates and outings with your main squeeze. It’s easy to appreciate your partner or spouse, which is why this is a great day for a date.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

*** Relations with coworkers will be excellent today, which is why you are willing to help others; and likewise, they’re willing to help you. (Mutually beneficial.) Medically related issues, and anything to do with a pet, will also please you. For some, a work-related romance will begin.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

***** At its best today, you feel a soul union with someone. “It was written in the stars!” At its worst, you might be disappointed in a loved one who doesn’t live up to your expectations. (Were these expectations realistic? Did you even express them?) A romantic day!

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

**** This is a lovely day to entertain at home because you have a warm feeling in your tummy, and you want to share good times with others, especially family members. You might also have inspired ideas about how to make your home more beautiful.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

**** Today the vibes out there are lovely. This is why you have an opportunity to truly appreciate the beauty of your daily surroundings – if you take a moment and look. Really look. We can miss so much by rushing around “being busy”.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

*** You’re a romantic, and today is a romantic day, which means it’s a wonderful time to enjoy a romantic date. However, you might be tempted to go overboard spending money on luxurious items. You might also spend too much in a generous gesture to help someone. Remember to stay grounded and realistic.

If Your Birthday Is Today

Actor Dwayne (The Rock) Johnson (1972) shares your birthday today. You’re curious, driven, honest and blunt. You’re curious about what makes others tick. You value a stable and harmonious relationship. This is a year of learning and teaching. Set aside time for quiet contemplation so that you might renew your spiritual or religious beliefs. Explore new philosophies and ways of thinking.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

You may be ready for a particular change that you want to trigger and that you have been waiting for in a while but this doesn’t mean that your finances are in the same position.

This means that if you can’t hold it any longer you will resort to borrowing money. Be careful to the terms you agree to, especially if this happens to be a business between friends or family.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

The right person at the right time should be the motto for this day but apparently this only happens during the morning when you seem to be very focused on everything that is going on.

As the day progresses and you become increasingly tired, you kind of let the ropes and some risk of blockage might spoil the end of the working week.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

Some unspoken of fears and other frustrations are going to surface this Friday despite the fact that from the exterior, you seem to have it all.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

This Friday appears to be a great starting point from travel and those natives who are beginning their holiday today or tonight should be the most benefited.

You should put the spotlight on your health this Friday and instead of any partying to rest. There is no need to get to extreme measures and to exaggerate with the care either.

Each person has a story but some are not as keen on sharing and this is something you might have to learn in a harsh way today.

Welcome to WOTC! A Thought for Today

I apologize for not doing Beltane and Samhain posts yesterday. It was my birthday plus I was and am in a lot of pain as my fibromyalgia is not cooperating for me to do much. I will get the important, at least to me, posts done for today and try to do the extra ones.

If you want to see information on any tradition of witchcraft, herbs, flowers, a Goddess or a God, or anything pertaining to any tradition of witchcraft, please put it in the comment section or email Lady Carla Beltane at ladybeltane@witchesofthecraft.com. I will try to find some information to post about it.

May your and your family’s lives be filled with love, happiness, laughter, joy, and positive things!

Blessed be
