Lunar calendar for May 2025: health problems and troubles according to the phases of the Moon
The Earth's natural satellite has a strong impact on the inhabitants of the planet and the environment. Due to the lunar influence, tides, tides, temperature and pressure changes occur. The moon's gravitational field affects the Earth's biosphere and causes, in particular, changes in the Earth's magnetic field. According to popular beliefs, human life and condition are also interconnected with the energy of the night star. Read more about how the phases of the moon will change in May in the Izvestia article.
The Waxing Moon in May 2025
The lunar calendar is one of the oldest time reference systems, which retains its importance in the modern era. It was widespread among civilizations of the past, such as Chinese, Egyptian and Babylonian.
According to the most common version, the creation of a prototype of the modern lunar calendar is due to the Sumerians. They lived in the territory of modern Iraq, where already in the third millennium BC the calendar was used to calculate the dates of religious rituals, agricultural cycles and other key events of life. Until now, in some regions of the world, the lunar calendar is used along with the usual solar calendar.
The principle of operation of the lunar calendar is based on the visually observable phases of the Moon, which change due to the movement of the Earth, its satellite and the Sun in orbits. Even ancient scientists, in particular ancient Greek astronomers, explained the patterns of these changes.
The lunar month is divided into four main phases: new moon, waxing Moon, full moon and waning Moon. The entire cycle from one full moon to the next lasts about 29.5 days, which is less than the average month on the solar calendar, which is about 30.5 days. Therefore, each next lunar day begins a little later than the previous one, shifting in time.
The Moon Phase calendar for May 2025 contains the dates of the new moon, full moon, and periods of the waxing and waning Moon. At the beginning and at the end of the month, the moon will be waxing.
— the waxing Moon (May 1-11);
— full moon in the zodiac sign Scorpio (May 12);
— Waning Moon (May 13-26);
— new moon in the zodiac sign Gemini (May 27);
— The waxing Moon (May 28-31).
The waxing Moon is a phase that begins immediately after the new moon and lasts until the full moon. At this time, the satellite gradually increases in size, its illuminated part becomes more visible in the sky — first a thin crescent appears, which day after day becomes wider until the disk becomes completely round. Astronomically, this is explained by the fact that the Moon changes its position relative to the Earth and the Sun.
Many people choose to follow the lunar calendar based on their personal beliefs or beliefs, but this is not a scientifically sound approach. Nevertheless, according to astrologers, the lunar phases allow you to create a calendar of favorable days for the proper planning of your plans for each day of the month, for changes in appearance, operations or medical procedures.
Since ancient times, people have associated the growing moon with the symbolism of growth, accumulation, renewal and active beginning. It was believed that in this phase it was good to start businesses that required development and increase: to lay the foundations of a business, start training, move, make acquaintances, engage in creativity.
It is better to schedule haircuts, straightening and curling of hair this month for May 1, 2, 9, 10, 28-31. The growing Moon will consolidate the successful result and reduce the risk of mistakes by the hairdresser. It is best to dye your hair in May 2025 on the 3rd, 9th, 15th, 16th, 17th, 23rd and 24th. Astrologers advise to refrain from changing the image on May 7, 12, 19 and 27.
At this time, it is considered especially successful to plant crops with fruits above ground — tomatoes, peppers, herbs, berries, flowers and shrubs. By the same logic, during the growing Moon, you can start wellness procedures, weight gain diets or vitamin complexes — the body absorbs useful substances more easily.
However, despite the general idea of the auspiciousness of the phase, there is something that is not recommended to do during the growing moon. First of all, get rid of something. It is believed that any actions aimed at "waning" — removal, purification, completion, deliverance — during this period will be harder or even have the opposite effect.
No surgical procedures are recommended during the growing moon, especially if the operation is not urgent. The fact is that the body during this period may be more prone to swelling and delayed healing.
Full moon in May 2025
A full moon is a phase in which a natural satellite is fully illuminated by the Sun and is visible from Earth as a round bright disk. In the last spring month of 2025, the full moon is expected on May 12.
Astronomically, the full moon occurs at the moment when the Moon is directly opposite the Sun in relation to the Earth, that is, our planet is in a straight line between them. The light from the Sun falls on the entire side of the moon facing the planet, and it shines as brightly as possible in the night sky.
The influence of the full moon on the Earth and its inhabitants has been discussed for centuries, and even in the modern world, where many phenomena have received a scientific explanation, the full moon remains a subject of controversy.
It is believed that during the full moon, emotional tension increases, anxiety levels increase, mood swings occur, and many people experience sleep disorders. Some people note an exacerbation of chronic diseases, especially psychosomatic ones, as well as increased sensitivity to external stimuli.
According to popular beliefs and esoteric practices, inner forces and emotions easily "awaken" during the full moon, and a person becomes more susceptible to the influence of both the outside world and their own unconscious states.
In the everyday sense, the full moon is considered a time when it is better not to start new things, because the energy at this moment reaches its peak and can get out of control. It is believed that quarrels and conflicts may arise at this time, so it is advisable to avoid sharp conversations and situations that require clarification.
On the other hand, the full moon is well suited for completing, summing up, letting go of the old. In the traditions of many cultures, purification rituals were performed on this day, getting rid of negativity, making wishes, and performing rituals to fulfill their plans.
During the full moon, many animals become more active, this is due to a violation of the usual biorhythms. Studies show that the number of accidents, hospital visits, and even crimes is noticeably increasing at this time, although a direct relationship with the moon phase has not yet been confirmed at the scientific level.
The waning Moon in May 2025
The waning Moon is the last phase of the lunar cycle, which occurs after the full moon and continues until the new moon. During this period, the Earth's satellite gradually loses its visibility, and its energy is considered more calm and suitable for completing tasks and internal work. The waning Moon period in May 2025 will last from the 13th to the 26th.
The waning Moon is traditionally associated with purification, completion. This is the time when you should finish old things, take stock, a person can get rid of everything superfluous — both financially and spiritually. This is the phase when it is recommended to get rid of unnecessary things and complete projects. Time can also be a useful period for cleansing practices aimed at getting rid of negative emotions and restless thoughts.
On an emotional level, the waning Moon promotes relaxation and peace. This is a time when many people begin to feel that they are ready to break free from old habits, toxic relationships, and worries.
On a physical level, the waning Moon also has an impact on biological processes, although these effects can vary from person to person. During this period, the energy of the Moon decreases its activity, and many people feel a decrease in physical strength.
For gardeners and gardeners, the waning Moon is a time when plants focus their energies on the roots, rather than on the growth of the aboveground. This is considered a good time to work with root crops — planting and transplanting carrots, beets, potatoes and other plants. This is also a good time to prune plants and control pests, as many of them are weakening and becoming less active.
New Moon in May 2025
The new moon is also the phase in which the satellite is located between the Earth and the Sun on almost the same line. The new Moon is almost impossible to spot in the sky, as its illuminated side faces the Sun and its dark side faces the Earth. Sometimes, before or after a new moon, you can see a faint glow around the moon's disk, called ashen light. This rare phenomenon occurs due to the reflection of sunlight scattered by the Earth and returned by the Moon.
In addition, it is only during the new moon period that a solar eclipse can be observed from Earth. At this moment, the Moon also appears between the Earth and the Sun and can cover the solar disk, completely or partially obscuring it. A solar eclipse does not occur at every new moon, because the Moon's orbit is tilted about five degrees to the plane of the Earth's orbit (the ecliptic), and the satellite most often passes above or below the celestial body, from the point of view of an observer on Earth.
This position of the satellite is accompanied by the fact that it ceases to affect the tides, since its gravitational effect is minimal. This period is considered a time of silence and inner concentration. In May 2025, the new moon is expected on the 27th. In addition, it is the darkest night of the month and at the same time the most emotionally unfavorable day.
The impact of the new moon on humans and the environment is perceived as a time of lull and the beginning of a new cycle. This is a phase when many people feel weak, tired, distracted, uncertain, and need to step back to gain strength for something new.
Psychologically, the new moon can be a period when a person feels the need for inner silence, solitude and recovery. This is a time when old habits and thoughts may become less important. This is the right moment to meditate and make decisions about starting something new.
In agriculture and horticulture, the new moon is considered the time when a plant should be given the opportunity to "rest." During this period, it is not recommended to carry out active work on planting or transplanting plants, as this will not bring the best results. Some gardeners use the new moon to clean the territory, prepare the soil or clear weeds.
