Will you invest in your fear or your faith? (May 15, 2025: Saturn opposes Thereus, Jupiter squares Nodes, etc.)

Today is an astrologically potent day with three significant alignments, all of which encourage us to make choices from a deeper place of faith, rather than a state of perpetual anxiety and uncertainty. That does not mean ignoring the world around you, but understanding what is within your immediate capacity to change, and what requires higher hands.

In the video, I discuss these three alignments. In summary, here they are:

Saturn & Ceres (29 Pisces) opposite Thereus Rx (29 Virgo)

Jupiter (24 Gemini) squaring Mean North & South Nodes (24 Pisces-Virgo)

Mercury (8 Taurus) opposite Vesta (8 Scorpio)

You can find more information on my take on these bodies through past articles and videos. Here’s one for those who need more of an introduction to Thereus.

Saturn and Ceres in Pisces ask us to look at our relationship with nurture at a spiritual, karmic, and energetic level - and who plays that role in our lives in the here and now.

It might be a loved one, a teacher, a mentor, a guru, a guide - or combinations thereof.

Always remember to nurture the nurturer in meaningful ways and avoid one-sided exchanges.

Even if your connection with Nurture has been disrupted, this is where you choose to walk away from what does not work and to seek more aligned sources of this.

Often, that involves a commitment to nurture yourself alongside that process.

And if you have been neglecting what care and nurture it is your responsibility to provide, time to get on that.

Thereus Rx in Virgo refers to the backdoors and vulnerabilities that can come through anxiety, fear, mental stress, health issues, or even (in extreme cases) covert predation. When Thereus alignments are activated, you really need to pay attention to your safety and that of your loved ones, be it spiritual, emotional, physical, financial, and so on.

It also means that you need to pay more attention to whatever material, financial, health, and other details you may be focused on at this time, including acts of service. Giving too much is just as bad as giving too little or not at all. Remember appropriate boundaries.

With Thereus, the fear and anxiety tend to ease when you have done what you can to address the matter directly, and with safety considerations. And then let Spirit work the way it will. It is an issue when you do not realize what is triggering the fear to begin with.

In the opposition, Thereus reminds us to do our level best to manage what we can with what we have in the here and now. And not to ignore uncertainties or vulnerabilities.

Once you have done what you can to address things, Surrender to Spirit.

With the blessing of nurture, grace, and positive energy that can come through Saturn-Ceres, trust that you will be shown the way at the right time, even if things look unclear at the present moment.

I’ll keep the other two alignments brief, as you can find what you need in the video.

Jupiter squaring the Nodes asks you to be very particular with the teachers, guides, philosophy, rhetoric, belief system, or way of seeing the world you choose to navigate life through. If you choose a belief system that limits you, or that sets you up for unreasonable expectations, you’ll going to have to deal with the consequences of that choice later on.

Listen to the guidance you receive from aligned sources.

It’s all about finding the right path, rather than an overnight success.

Mercury opposite Vesta is all about where and how you choose to allocate your resources, devotion, time, energy, and focus.

If you choose to invest your capacity to co-create reality with Spirit through the lens of fear or rose-tinted optimism, you’re in for some lessons.

If you take the material steps to do what you can and lay the rest at the feet of Spirit, then you will find yourself in a more balanced space.

You can only receive and appreciate the grace that surrounds you if you make room for it.

That’s a wrap. Be safe, Walk with Faith. And see what happens.

A lot more opportunities will open up once Saturn shifts into Aries (for a few months) on May 25th.

Keep at it!
