The Stars Rate Your Day

5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult

Aries (March 21-April 19)

*** Keep an eye on your money and your possessions today because things are unpredictable. You might find money; you might lose money. Guard what you own against loss, theft or damage. On the upside, you might have an original, moneymaking idea? Who knows?

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

**** Today the Sun is in your sign lined up with wild, wacky Uranus, which means your actions might surprise others. The overall mood of today will be electric, exciting and different. Plans will change. You might feel rebellious. Pay attention to what you say and do to avoid accidents.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

*** Today you feel restless. Something might happen that shakes up your daily routine? Or someone might change their plans and you might find this annoying. One thing is certain, nothing is reliable today because last-minute changes, accidents and new directions are taking place.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

**** You might meet someone unusual today; or someone you know might surprise you? You might also be involved in group or an organization that suddenly changes plans, or directions, or adopts a new mandate? This is because today is full of sudden changes and unpredictable events. Oy!

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

*** Tread carefully when dealing with authority figures today because they might do something that surprises you; in turn, you might not like it, or you might feel rebellious about a new decision coming down the pipe? Your boss might suddenly be fired? Could be anything.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

**** Travel plans might suddenly change today. Likewise, issues related to legal or medical matters might also change, perhaps an appointment or an event? Anything to do with school and higher education is also subject to a last-minute detour. Stay flexible today!

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

*** Make friends with your bank account today because sudden changes to your assets, your bank accounts, or anything to do with agreements about shared property could occur today. Something you thought was stable might be wobbly? You might receive a windfall or the opposite. (Yikes.)

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

**** Use your diplomatic skills to deal with partners, spouses and close friends today because this is a fast-changing landscape. Agreements and plans with others might fall through, or suddenly change. You might meet someone new who is different and unusual? Today is a crapshoot. (Exciting but unreliable.)

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

*** Equipment breakdowns, staff shortages, delayed deliveries, computer problems and power outages are just a few things that might dog your steps today at work, or in your job, or even dealing with health issues. Stay light on your feet. Protect your pet against accidents or hazards.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

**** Parents should be extra vigilant today because this is an accident-prone day for your kids. Meanwhile, social plans might suddenly change at the drop of a hat. You might receive an invitation – or a fun event might be cancelled? Romance is completely unpredictable.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

*** Your home routine will change today. Small appliances might break down or a minor breakage could occur. Someone unexpected could knock on your door. (Get dressed.) Meanwhile, family arguments and emotional outbursts might take place. Stay chill. Be sensible. Do what’s best.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

**** Pay attention to everything you say and do because this is an accident-prone day for your sign. Think before you act. Count to three before you respond to someone. Guard against knee-jerk reactions when talking to others. New faces, new places and new ideas will energize you. Definitely.

The Stars Rate Your Day

5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult

Aries (March 21-April 19)

** Tread carefully today. Watch your step and follow the rules because all aspects of authority could be a challenging situation for you. Furthermore, your relations with authority figures (parents, bosses, teachers and VIPs) are subject to confusion and misunderstandings.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

** You are the financial wizard of the zodiac; therefore, it’s important to know your financial dealings with others are subject to confusion, misinformation and even deceit. If you think something fishy is going on – it is. Double check important transactions.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

** When talking to close friends, partners and spouses, you might feel criticized or diminished in some way. Separations might occur for some of you today. You might have to say goodbye to someone. A close relationship might feel cold and insensitive. Double check financial transactions. (This is temporary.)

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

** Your job, or whatever work you’re doing, might feel onerous today. You might feel cut off from others. You might feel overwhelmed by your tasks. Discussions with authority figures could be confusing and unreliable. Please be reassured that things actually look worse than they are today.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

** Children might feel like an increased responsibility today. You might also have serious discussions with someone, perhaps someone in authority or to do with postsecondary education. Be smart and take everything that you hear with a grain of salt because confusion (even deceit) are rampant.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

** Family discussions might be strained today because there might be a lack of warmth with other family members. You might feel cut off or misunderstood. Romance could be disappointing as well, or issues with your kids. Fear not, this is a tough day for everyone but it is temporary. Courage!

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

** Today is a good day to remember that old saying, “Worry is like a rocking chair. It gives you something to do but gets you nowhere.” Lighten up! Try to cultivate a positive attitude. Meanwhile, family discussions are confusing and possibly, not entirely true. Be aware of this.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

** You might be concerned about finances today. “Why is there always so much month left at the end of the money?” Many people feel this way today. Small wonder that you might spend time daydreaming lost in a fantasy world, without worries about practical matters.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

** This morning the Moon is in your sign at odds with stern Saturn which can create a fleeting depression or difficulty talking to parents and older family members. You might feel like you’re the one carrying the load. Later in the day, financial matters are confusing. Postpone important purchases or decisions.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

** It’s easy to feel cut off and lonely from others today. Do not dwell on this because many people feel strained relations with others today, especially their daily contacts. Furthermore, family conversations, and dealings with relatives are hazy and unreliable. Be careful.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

** Friendships are important to you, which is why you might be upset with a friend today who is critical of you or does not agree with your views. Do not take this personally. In fact, many conversations are subject to misunderstandings and confusion today. Relax. This is temporary.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

** This is a challenging day dealing with parents, bosses and people in authority – including the police. As the day wears on, you might find that discussions with others are confusing. Do not take anything at face value. Double check your facts.

  • Aloes:

General: Aloes are indigenous to East and South Africa, but have been introduced into the West Indies (where they are extensively cultivated) and into tropical countries, and will even flourish in the countries bordering on the Mediterranean. The drug Aloes consists of the liquid exuded from the transversely-cut bases of the leaves.

Medicinal Use: The drug Aloes is one of the safest and best warm and stimulating purgatives to persons of sedentary habits and phlegmatic constitutions. An ordinary small dose takes from 15 to 18 hours to produce an effect. Its action is exerted mainly on the large intestine, for which reason, also it is useful as a vermifuge. Its use, however, is said to induce Piles. From the Chemist and Druggist (July 22, 1922):

‘Aloes, strychnine and belladonna in pill form was criticized by Dr. Bernard Fautus in a paper read before the Chicago branch of the American Pharmaceutical Society. He pointed out that when given at the same time they cannot possibly act together because of the different speed and duration of the three agents. Aloin is slow in action, requiring from 10 to 12 hours. Strychnine and Atropine, on the other hand, are rapidly absorbed, and have but a brief duration of action.’

Aloes was employed by the ancients and was known to the Greeks as a production of the island of Socotra as early as the fourth century B.C. The drug was used by Dioscorides, Celsus and Pliny, as well as by the later Greek and Arabian physicians, though it is not mentioned either by Hippocrates or Theophrastus.

Spiritual Use: The word Aloes, in Latin Lignum Aloes, is used in the Bible and in many ancient writings to designate a substance totally distinct from the modern Aloes, namely the resinous wood of Aquilaria agallocha, a large tree growing in the Malayan Peninsula. Its wood constituted a drug which was, down to the beginning of the present century, generally valued for use as incense, but now is esteemed only in the East. The Mahometans, especially those in Egypt, regard the Aloe as a religious symbol, and the Mussulman who has made a pilgrimage to the shrine of the Prophet is entitled to hang the Aloe over his doorway. The Mahometans also believe that this holy symbol protects a householder from any malign influence. In Cairo, the Jews also adopt the practice of hanging up the Aloe. In the neighbourhood of Mecca, at the extremity of every grave, on a spot facing the epitaph, Burckhardt found planted a low shrubby species of Aloe whose Arabic name, saber, signifies patience. This plant is evergreen and requires very little water. Its name refers to the waiting-time between the burial and the resurrection morning.

May 14, 2025 Current Southern Hemisphere/Tomorrow’s Northern Hemisphere Moon Phase

Source: nineplanets.org

The current moon phase for May 15th, 2025 is the Waning Gibbous phase.

On this day, the moon is 17.31 days old and 95.61% illuminated with a tilt of -40.051°. The approximate distance from Earth to the moon is 401,333.46 km and the moon sign is Sagittarius.

The Moon phase for May 15th, 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.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

*** Today you might be involved in financial discussions or deciding how to share or divide something. Or perhaps how to borrow something or return it? In one way, you’re purposeful. Nevertheless, be aware that misrepresentation or sleight-of-hand could occur. Keep your eyes open.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

**** Discussions with partners, spouses and close friends will be stimulating and interesting today. You might discuss deep, mysterious subjects. Or you might feel tender concern for someone and want to reach out and help them. Explore different ideas with someone.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

**** Someone might ask for your help today because you appear benevolent and sympathetic, especially to those in need. On the other hand, some will see you as glamorous in a powerful, seductive way. Whatever the case, you have a chance to make a difference today. Look for it.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

**** You are a creative sign and today is a creative day for you! Whatever you’re doing, let yourself benefit from your imaginative ideas. Look for ways to make improvements and changes, especially dealing with children, sports events, or creating a social occasion. Romance is passionate!

*** When it comes to finances and possessions today, you want to get to the bottom of something. You might want to tear something down to the basics so that you can rebuild it in a better way, especially improving something at home. You’re very imaginative today.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

**** Today the Moon is in your sign dancing with Neptune, which is why you might spend time daydreaming. This influence will also help any kind of artistic or creative work you want to pursue. It will also give you great sympathy for others because you can put yourself in their place.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

*** Research into anything will go well because you have the imagination to explore different areas; furthermore, you have the desire to make changes such as cleaning, repairing and reorganizing things. Strike while the iron is hot! Get things done.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

**** Friendships are important to you – and you know this. In fact, Aquarius is the sign of friendship. Today you will be willing to help a friend in need because you feel that you understand their plight. In turn, they might help you make a personal change, perhaps in your appearance?

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

**** You make a great impression on others today because people see you as both strong, at the same time, gentle. Because you great such a favourable impression, this is an excellent day to advance your agenda or go after what you want. It’s also a great day to study and learn; or to take a short trip.

If Your Birthday Is Today

Actor Robert Pattinson (1986) shares your birthday today. You are gifted, and find it easy to harmonize with others. You’re sensitive, intuitive and charming. You have purpose. This is the last year of a nine-year cycle, which means it’s time to take inventory of your life. Let go of people, places and things from the past that have held you back.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

You are going to be spreading plenty of smiles today and you seem to be feeling just right in your own skin.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

The current disposition has your mind thinking of personal safety and how you can increase the stability you are always craving in your life.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

You seem to be taking upon yourself to make things better between two people you care for very much. They might not even be related to you and they might not even be very good friends.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

Full Moon May 2025 – Flower Moon And Alternative Names

May Flower Moon Source: farmersalmanac.com

The full Moon May 2025 marks the peak of spring in many parts of North America that acts as a transition into summer’s sunny days and warm nights. The May full Moon is often called the “Flower Moon” with reverence to abundant flowers in bloom, a prelude to Mother Nature’s coming attractions. But what other names does this special spring full Moon go by in different cultures?

Full Moon May 2025: Monday, May 12
Peak Illumination: 12:56 p.m. Eastern time
Zodiac Sign: Scorpio

Origin Of The Flower Moon Name

May is the month when hundreds of native flowers, sedges, bushes and trees blossom throughout North America bloom. Columbine’s intricate red and yellow bell-like flowers with deep nectaries provide early season food for hummingbirds and other long-tongued pollinators. Lance-leaf coreopsis produces a plethora of bright yellow, daisy-like flowers. Gardeners who promptly dead head spent blossoms prolong the bloom period through July. Meanwhile large stands of pink-hued prairie smoke create a hazy effect resembling smoke hovering close to the ground.

May’s full Moon bears the name of regionally significant flowers and blooms in other regions.

In the Southeast, the Creek and Choctaw referred to this as the “Mulberry Moon.” Fruit from the native red mulberry tree have long been enjoyed in many forms. As dried fruit, as an additive to water and even mixed into cornbread. Fruit, leaves, and twigs were used to make dyes and the branches were used to make bows.

In the Pacific Northwest, May’s full Moon is known by the Kalapuya as “Camas Blooming Time.” Camas blue flowers cover meadows throughout Oregon, eastern Washington and northern Idaho. Camas has been a key food source in Northwest Native diets for centuries. When the blooms fade and set seed in June and July, native peoples would harvest the nutrient rich roots.  They kept larger bulbs and returned smaller roots to the soil to ensure a good harvest the following year.

Growth-Related May Full Moon Names

Not to be out done by the blooms of spring, May is the month when leaves burst from their buds. It’s the first time since the previous fall for many parts of North America to once again enjoy all the gorgeousness of green. It makes sense the Apache refer to this as “The Season When The Leaves Are Green.” The Lakota call it the “Moon Of The Green Leaves” while the Mohawk name it “The Time Of Big Leaf.”

As the green leaves fill the trees, the last of the hard frosts leave these regions, making it safe for farmers to plant their fields. May’s full Moon has been a harbinger of planting season called the “Field Maker Moon” by the Abenaki, “Corn Moon” by the Winnebago and “When Women Weed Corn” by Algonquin in Northeast to Great Lakes. The East Cherokee strict translation for this is “The Putting It In A Hole Moon.” See our Gardening By The Moon Calendar.

More Names For The May Full Moon

In other regions, the full Moon marks a time related to animals. The Passamaquoddy in Northeast in the St. Croix River region call it the “Alewive Moon.” Also known as the river herring, these migratory fish can be found along the East Coast from Florida to Maine. Alewife populations once reached hundreds of millions. The annual spring return of these fish to coastal rivers every spring supported some of the oldest fisheries in the United States.

The Cree in the Northern Plains into Canada call it the “Frog Moon.” Anyone who has heard the call of the spring peeper frog can attest to appropriateness of this name.

In Europe, May’s Moon is known as the “Milk Moon.” This name dates back o medieval times because May was the month when cows were moved to their summer pastures. These fields provided mother cows with rich nourishment to feed their newborn calves.

Other Celtic and Old English names for this full Moon include “Mothers’ Moon,” “Bright Moon,” “Hare Moon,” and “Grass Moon.”

Whatever it is called, the May full Moon is a time to appreciate the sweetness of spring!

Attention:
Surgical operations are generally recommended during the Waning Moon, because human body is healing better after surgery.

However, try to avoid surgeries of the organs under the influence of the zodiac sign the Moon is in on the day of the surgery. These organs are more sensitive when the Moon is passing the sign they are affiliated with and their surgery is not recommended.

May 2025 – Gardening by the Moon, Biodynamic Planting Guide

Source: mooncalendar.astro-seek.com

Please read this first:

1) Moon Phase x Moon Zodiac Sign:

Please keep in mind, that Gardening by Moon Phase and Gardening by Moon Zodiac Sign are two different/independent biodynamic systems and they might give you different or contradictiory gardening recommendations.

  • a) Each Moon Phase (except Full Moon and New Moon) lasts about 1 week
  • b) Each Moon Zodiac Sign lasts about 2.5 days

Try to experiment with these two systems to find which recommendations suits you the most.

2) Tropical (Astrological) x Sidereal (Astronomical) Zodiac:

(1-2 days difference in Leaf, Fruit, Root and Flower days)

There are two different zodiacs for determining the Moon Sign:

  • a) Tropical zodiac (Astrological) is based on the seasons – Vernal Equinox is fixed as 0° Aries (The 1st Fruit day)
  • b) Sidereal zodiac (Astronomical) takes into account Precession of Equinoxes and shifts 0° Aries back by cca 1-2 days. Maria Thun who was an authority on biodynamics was using this Sidereal zodiac

Try to experiment also with these two zodiac systems to find which system suits you better.

May 13, 2025 Current Southern Hemisphere/Tomorrow’s Northern Hemisphere Moon Phase

Source: nineplanets.org

The current moon phase for May 13th, 2025 is the Waning Gibbous phase.

On this day, the moon is 15.24 days old and 99.98% illuminated with a tilt of 32.891°. The approximate distance from Earth to the moon is 405,114.45 km and the moon sign is Scorpio.

The Moon phase for May 13th, 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.

May 12, 2025 Current Northern Hemisphere Moon Phase

Source: nineplanets.org

The current moon phase for today is the Full Moon phase.

On this day, the moon is 14.2 days old and 99.29% illuminated with a tilt of 126.049°. The approximate distance from Earth to the moon is 406,017.20 km and the moon sign is Scorpio.

The Moon phase for today is the Full Moon phase. In this phase, the moon is 100% illuminated when seen from Earth (hence the name Full Moon).

The Full Moon happens when the moon is on the opposite side of the Earth from the Sun. The sunlight fully illuminated the moon, and this is what we call being “full”. The moon will be visible throughout the night sky as it rises at sunset in the east, transits the meridian at midnight, before setting at sunrise in the west.

The specific point at which the Full Moon occurs can be measured down to a fraction of a second. The time that passes between full moons is called the Synodic month and is 29.530587981 days long.

Fun fact: lunar eclipses can only happen within a few days of the Full Moon, but they don’t happen for every Full Moon because the moon’s orbit has a 5.1° tilt around the Earth compared to Earth’s orbit around the Sun. Only when the intersection of these two orbits is pointing towards the centre of the Moon do we get a lunar eclipse.
