Mundane Weekly Astrological Climate - Week of May 19 to 25, 2025

Introduction

You can check the mundane aspects for each day and any moment with the Transits application, in the single chart mode, by deselecting aspects to angles in the settings. All positions and aspects are calculated from Monday noon to Sunday noon (UT).

The orb for the global aspects of the ten planets has been set at three degrees. For the North Node and Lilith, the true position is used. Minor aspects, due to their limited influence, are not interpreted.

This is by no means a horoscope: this analysis falls under mundane astrology and highlights the influence of the planets on a collective level.

This week, from May 19 to May 25, 2025, the astrological atmosphere is dynamic, marked by the Sun entering Gemini on Wednesday, May 21, bringing a wave of curiosity and lightness. The sky encourages innovation, while also calling for caution in the face of some tension between impulsiveness and reflection.
