May 14, 2025 Current Southern Hemisphere/Tomorrow’s Northern Hemisphere Moon Phase
Source: nineplanets.org
The current moon phase for May 14th, 2025 is the Waning Gibbous phase.
On this day, the moon is 16.27 days old and 98.75% illuminated with a tilt of -24.713°. The approximate distance from Earth to the moon is 403,545.63 km and the moon sign is Sagittarius.
The Moon phase for May 14th, 2025 is a Waning Gibbous phase. This is the first phase after the Full Moon where the illumination of the moon decreases each day until it reaches 50% (the Last Quarter phase).
The waning (shrinking) gibbous Moon will rise after sunset in the east, transit the meridian after midnight, before setting after sunrise in the west.
During this phase, the illumination of the moon will go down from 99.% to 50.1%. Technically, the phase starts as soon as the Full Moon has passed, but it can be difficult to calculate and differentiate the first stage of a Waning Gibbous Moon from a Full Moon when 98-99% of the Moon’s surface is illuminated.
Fun fact: the word Gibbous was first used in the 14th century and comes from the latin word gibbosus which means humpbacked.

Joyful birthday wishes from Lady Carla Beltane with the WOTC Family and Friends!!
May the next year of your life bring you more love, laughter, joy, happiness, enough income to cover what you have to have along with a little leftover for fun! May it bring you everything you want if it is supposed to be and everything you need. May sorrow be unknown, and any negativity be minimal. May the wind always be at your back.
Being a Taurus born on May 13th, you are realistic but understanding, creative but responsible. You like to keep some kind of balance in your life and are often aware of how other people lead their lives.
You may at times appear to be quite blunt, especially when you are trying to make a point but those around you are usually used to this attitude of yours and accept it. Prepare to read a special personality report below.
The zodiac sign for May 13 is Taurus.
Astrological symbol: Bull. This symbolizes tact, strength, confidence and abundance. It influences people born between April 20 and May 20 when the Sun is in Taurus, the second zodiac sign.
The Taurus Constellation, one of the 12 zodiac constellations is spread on an area of 797 sq degrees and its visible latitudes are +90° to -65°. The brightest star is Aldebaran and its neighboring constellations are Aries to the West and Gemini to the East.
In Italy it is called Toro and in France goes by the name Taureau but the Latin origin of the May 13 zodiac sign, the Bull is in the name Taurus.
Opposite sign: Scorpio. Partnerships between the Taurus and Scorpio sun signs are considered auspicious and the opposite sign reflects upon the surrounding illumination and advantage.
Modality: Fixed. This indicates how much excitement and warm heart exists in the lives of those born on May 13 and how diligent they are in general.
Ruling house: The second house. This house placement symbolizes material possessions and everything one can own in a lifetime and seems to focus Taurians towards pleasures and gain.
Ruling body: Venus. This celestial planet is said to influence relationships and resolution. It is also to be mentioned about the loving sense of these natives. Venus represents feminine energy opposing the masculine energy of Mars.
Element: Earth. This element governs over cordiality and sense of general awareness and is the one of the four to influence those born on May 13. It suggests a down to earth personality.
Lucky day: Friday. This day is under the governing of Venus and symbolizes imagination and beauty. It also identifies with the stubborn nature of Taurus natives.
Lucky numbers: 2, 6, 12, 19, 20.
Motto: “I own!”
People born on May 13 are perseverant and practical and know exactly when to play their stubbornness and when to use patience and tact in accomplishing their goals. They are the ones to truly appreciate the joy in material things or activities such as watching a good movie or reading an interesting book. However, when they are installed in their own comfortable routine, they hate being disturbed in any way or being hurried, especially when this is happening for something that they don’t consider important.
Positive Traits: These natives are enduring and persuasive when they want something but at the same time, they never abandon their grace and diplomacy. They are highly unfailing so they keep their pacts, especially when their reputation is at stake. They are altruistic and caring but it is also rapid for them to turn a cold shoulder if you are not behaving in the same respectable way as they do.
Negative Traits: These natives are self indulgent and lack malleability and this sometimes leads to them becoming spiteful of the success of others and then minimizing even the last trace of reason they had regarding that particular situation. They can be easily harmed as well and should learn to see past the negative value of judgment. They should also stop being so hesitant because this coupled with their bull headedness makes them extremely difficult to discuss with.
Love and Compatibility: Lovers born on May 13 are passionate and committed. They are rather affectionate and stable rather than adventurous and they prefer to settle for a serious relationship rather than date many people. They are attracted to creative and fun people whom can keep their interest alive and with whom they can spoil and protect. You can conquer the heart of Taurus if you are all eyes on them but also maintain your individuality and degree of independence. This single native is not making a drama out of his single status but even enjoys time alone and enters a relationship only when is prepared to.
Lucky Color: Green is the color said to be representative for Taurus people born with May 13.
Green is a hue that indicates growth and fertility. Grass green is believed to be the most restful color. This hue is placed in great harmony with the moments of calm and shyness of Taurus. This zodiac color should be used in objects that surround the natives.
People having green as sign color are stable and balanced, always aware of both sides of the matter in question, they would rather watch than get involved. Green is favored by lively, generous people that have high moral standards and for whom doing the right thing is most important.
Other colors for Taurus people are pink, yellow and most earth tones.
Representative Birthstone: The birthstone for Taurus natives born with the May 13 is the stunning Emerald.
This is a precious stone that symbolizes harmony and growth. This zodiac birthstone could be used in accessories and bracelets.
It is said to bring harmony and peace amongst people. It can also boost self esteem and faith for the natives in Taurus. Did you know that even Queen Cleopatra enjoyed the healing powers of Emerald?
Another precious stone considered beneficial for Taurus natives is Lapis Lazuli. It represents intelligence and truth.
Characteristic Flower: The lucky flower for those born under the May 13 is Poppy.
Poppy is a known symbol of elegance and grace of the movement. This zodiac flower is advised to be used for gifts and decorations.
The Greeks considered it was a plant of fertility and beauty. This flower is to be found during late spring and early summer.
Other plants that suit Taurus natives are Violets and Lilies.
Symbolic Metal: Copper is the metal of preference for Taurus natives, especially those born under the May 13.
Copper is one of those metals that denote spontaneity and creativity. This zodiac metal should be used in all kinds of jewelry items that are to be worn frequently.
Copper is a metal of currency and prosperity. One of the first materials discovered by mankind, this metal is said to bring prosperity and influence romantic affairs.
Another metal considered influential for Taurus natives is Steel.
Characteristics: May 13 Zodiac belongs to the third decan of TAURUS (May 11-May 20). This decan is influenced by the planet Saturn. Those born under this influence combine the connections and ambitions of Taurus with the financial wisdom of Saturn. This period tempers the positive and negative characteristics of Taurus zodiac sign with a great accent on the negative ones.
What Statistics Say: May 13 is counted in the Gregorian Calendar as the 133rd day of the year or the 134th day in leap years, while until the end of the year there are 232 days left. The seventy fourth day of spring, this is also one of the three feast days of the Lemuralia, observed in ancient Rome.
If you were born on May 13, you have a childlike wonder about you! You see the world in its most natural, innocent, and playful state. It’s easy for you to find the joy and excitement in life. This is a wonderful way to be! Just remember to face the challenges that you encounter head-on. Don’t look to others, pout in a corner, or get a case of the boo-hoos when life throws a curveball your way. You have all the strength and courage to tackle your own adversities.
May 13 Taurus at Their Best: Natural, playful, unrestricted
May 13 Taurus at Their Worst: Dependent, erratic, depressed
What to Wear: Anything plush, leather or suede — even if it’s hot outside. Due to the foodie tendencies of this birthday honoree, you might also consider an expandable waistband.
What to Eat: Taurus lives for sensual pleasure, so deliver it with several courses of creamy, rich and savory dishes — and don’t forget the wine!
Who to Invite: Taurus might pretend to not care who comes, but unless you invite everybody on this territorial person’s buddy list, you could be in for some sulking.
Where to Go: Pick a venue that at least looks posh. Taurus always likes to experience a nothing but the best kind of birthday.
MAY 13 birthday horoscope shows that you are responsible, funny, and respectable people. You do not wait for things to happen. You are a self-starter. These Taurus birthday individuals are usually impatient with people’s laziness or people’s lack of interest in life. You always take the initiative to do new things.
However, the May 13 birthday personality have a dark side to them that significant to anyone. They have the potential to work hard for what they want.
The May 13 zodiac birthday individuals are likely to maintain their distance when it comes to family gatherings and reunions. If today is your birthday, you are uncomfortable in group settings. You may have conflicts with certain family members preventing you from staying in touch as much as you should, if at all.
It would seem that perhaps you are not the most thoughtful parent, which is contrary to how you feel about your children. You love them very much but showing it is a difficult task.
The May 13 birthday astrology analysis predicts that you have a great desire to be happy. You do not like to be tied down and want a life that is certainly satisfying financially and emotionally. More than anything, you desire a world filled with champagne, caviar…, and a partner to share it with.
This partner must be able to share your goals and dreams. The May 13 zodiac love compatibility predictions show that you crave for a lover who is trustworthy and easy going. This person is usually hard for this Taurean to find. You tend to rush into love not thinking beyond the physical attraction and are often disappointed. This might take a toll on your current relationships.
The May 13 horoscope predicts that you will jump at an opportunity to do what you love. You may be at that place in life where it has a different tone than before. You will think of personal happiness and success as opposed to just making it or just having a job.
The career change may pay more and be more gratifying than past opportunities, but money is not your objective anymore. With a certain maturity and age comes the desire to do something different and meaningful.
The May 13 birthday meanings show that you will likely play a game of ball and expect it to be enough physical exercise for the month. While those born on this birthday despise laziness, you are guilty of having that attitude about exercise.
Typically, you do not stick to a routine at all or a healthy eating regime. May 13 birthday personality should watch their junk food intake. As you approach mid-life, things begin to change. Too much of the wrong foods can make your clothes fit differently.
As the May 13 birthday zodiac sign is Taurus, you are a responsible and imaginative Bull. But you can be estranged from family members. You can be inattentive parents but have a hidden love for your children.
However, when it comes to your feelings and romance, this Taurus is open and revealing. Money is not as important as it used to be and you will have an opportunity to change careers. This change is long-awaited as it comes around mid-life. It is an important change, nonetheless. Perhaps, the May 13 Taurus birthday individuals need to take better care of their health.

Celtic Tree Month – Hawthorn Tree May 13 – June 9
Hawthorn Tree – Spring
The Hawthorn is a prickly sort of plant with beautiful blossoms. Called Huath by the ancient Celts, and pronounced Hoh-uh, the Hawthorn month is a time of fertility, masculine energy, and fire. Coming right on the heels of Beltane, this month is a time when male potency is high — if you’re hoping to conceive a child, get busy this month! The Hawthorn has a raw, phallic sort of energy about it — use it for magic related to masculine power, business decisions, making professional connections. The Hawthorn is also associated with the realm of Faerie, and when the Hawthorn grows in tandem with an Ash and Oak, it is said to attract the Fae.

Hawthorn Tree – Summer
The Hawthorn is Known in Ireland as the fairy tree. It is often referred to as the gentle bush, lone bush or thorn, as it is disrespectful to mention the fairies by name.
As it is considered a fairy tree, it is believed to be extremely bad luck to cut one down, remove branches, or even hang things upon it (except at Beltane when this was customary) in case you disturb the little folk.
This belief has survived into modern times.
In 1999 work was interrupted on the main road from Limerick to Galway because a fairy tree stood in its path. The road had to be rerouted and construction was delayed for 10 years.
In 2009 there were numerous sightings of an ancient ghost thought to reappear in Tyrone after the felling of a fairy tree.
Few people will speak of the fairy tree out of a mixture of fear and respect and even fewer would ever remove or damage a hawthorn standing alone.
Couples fell in love under the hawthorn blossom
Contrary to these beliefs, in Britain, the hawthorn was associated with love and …
