*May 2025 Monthly Horoscopes – Summaries*
Aries
Mars moving through your sector of joy all month ensures a lively, animated, energized period, dear Aries, at least much of the time. Ideally, you’re able to rest hard and play hard. If not, you’ll find time for recreation and self-expression. It’s a fabulous time for pouring energies into a passion project, heartfelt pursuit, and possibly a romance or getaway. Still, the month of May features special attention to improving your sense of stability and comfort. It’s a powerful period for embracing your need to sometimes indulge and enjoy yourself.
Where you felt constricted in recent months, you have a strong sense of liberation and forward movement in May. People want to be around you – they seek out your company. Your ruler, Mars, is working in harmony with your sign all of May, reinvigorating and energizing you.
Still, Pluto turns retrograde on the 4th, signaling some need to de-emphasize networking a little. Plans, obligations, and concerns regarding your social life, friendships, or happiness goals may have heavy energy hanging over them during the shift in the first week of May. However, as the retrograde advances, things not only even out but also feel less pressured. This retrograde period lasts until October, and it’s powerful for taking a step back and examining your fears, resentments, and possible self-destructive tendencies so that you’re not living on autopilot. It’s a vital time for healing.
You can be motivated to develop projects and focus on building something special this month. You are working smartly now, finding ways to do what you need to do without impinging too much on your personal time. Your powers of attraction are super as Venus spends the entire month in your sign. You’re feeling stronger, more content, and happy with yourself, and as this reflects outward, you’re bound to see improvement in your relationships with others. You can be attracting love and money in May.
With the Sun in your solar second house until the 20th and Mercury here from the 10th to the 25th, a good part of you is focused on comfort, finances, security, and settling in. It’s a time to enjoy what you have and patiently build or strengthen.
With Mars in your sector of fun, creativity, and romance all month, you’re in strong touch with your passions. You’re expressing yourself confidently. Romantic relationships may be animated, or your feelings for someone fire up. There can certainly be competing energies between the drive for security and a need to put yourself out there. For the most part, however, you can make this work.
The Full Moon on the 12th can bring your attention to matters of sharing or connecting intimately with a partner, and it may ask you to take an emotional risk or move out of your comfort zone. It’s a time for handling debts or matters of support.
Your instincts for what works best for you are in top form for much of the month, and you can feel moved and motivated to up your game or rise to a personal challenge. You feel freer to express your authentic self through your writings, ideas, and personal interests. It’s a powerful time for healing through the power of words, better communication, or expanded personal interests.
The month can bring stellar money-making or project ideas with long-term appeal and profitability. As much as you’re seeking more predictability, you can have a sudden desire for a fancy new item or new technology in your everyday life that changes your methods or mood is likely. The urge to unburden yourself of excess possessions or clutter can be as strong. Circumstances are such that you become incredibly aware of what you’ve been holding onto both emotionally and physically, and it becomes clear how some of this may be holding you back in key areas of your life. Money matters can surprise you this month.
From the 20th forward, you’re in a period that’s strong for new interests, a busy mind, and learning or studying. You’re in great shape for increased self-acceptance and enjoyment, and possibly for learning new things about yourself or someone important to you.
The last days of May point to a mentally busy period and a potentially illuminating time. You’re in a particularly good position to sort things out and solve problems or to gain some clarity on your studies, trips, or projects as new details emerge. It’s a good time for engaging in helpful conversations and arriving at interesting ideas.
Taurus
May is a month of personal power for you, dear Taurus, and this year, you’ll carry forward some of this empowering energy into June as well. There’s a strong focus on personality development, finances, family, domestic life, and talents. On many levels, you can feel revitalized. People notice you for who you are and not only for what you do. You’re getting ahead because of your fabulous personality more than other assets in May. Home life becomes more animated, and family life demands more of your time.
While Venus, your ruling planet, spends the entire month in your privacy sector, it’s moving direct all month, and there is a sense of forward movement nonetheless. You’re still in an incubation stage regarding your love life and affections – there are things to process and perhaps some healing to do before you’re clear-headed with these things. However, if this was agonizing at times in April, it’s a much smoother process in May. Venus will enter your sign in June, and you’ll be raring to go, but for now, sorting things out will serve you well. In fact, you may need to deemphasize your love life to take advantage of other opportunities.
You have much in the way of personal impact even though you’re still keeping some things to yourself, as you should, and putting some decisions on hold. The month is a strong yet gentle one for you. You’re in the driver’s seat. Yes, this is true in a general sense, but with the Sun in your sign until the 20th, you’re feeling super confident, and changes made now seem to have visible, quick results.
Support is there if you need it, possibly from an unusual or hidden source, or your feelings emerge from deep within, guiding you. A surprise and strong attraction or interest can be brewing. There is a greater appreciation for the quiet, easygoing moments in your relationships. You might also experience a rush of confidence to take action on a personal matter or to put something behind you.
From the 10th, you’re speaking up more often and making executive decisions. However, partnership matters may reach a turning point around the 12th. You’ll come into strong touch with your feelings related to a negotiation, commitment, or one-to-one relationship. A partner can have a surprising revelation.
Pluto begins its yearly retrograde cycle this month, and some of your long-term career goals may be up for review until October. It’s a time for reworking career and planning initiatives. Facing up to truths about the past and a closer look at career, life path, and relationship matters can be part of the picture. You’re more able to see areas where you’ve been over-attached, overthinking, worried, or obsessed.
The biggest area of passion and possible upheaval this month is likely to involve your private world, family life, and home matters. You’re ambitious about these things now, desiring to make deep changes that will last. There can also be bigger emotions felt at home than elsewhere – tempers may be prominent. The trick is to avoid impatience and impulsiveness. Strategize for best results. You may want to rule the roost now, and this can be successful as long as you’re a gentle leader! This is a time for actively working through problem areas and improving family relationships.
While you’ll be pursuing personal interests and craving more independence this month – and you’re quite successful on these fronts – this can also be an important time for house cleaning of some variety. You’ll likely to get in touch with buried resentments that can frustrate you enough to make changes. You get the chance to work on or in the home. You may be defending, rallying for, or motivating family now.
You might discover resources you never knew you had or could receive excellent guidance and support from behind the scenes as you benefit from a Jupiter-Chiron transit this month.
May is also strong for money matters as it advances, which will pick up speed further in June. Later in the month finds you seeking out predictability, comfort, and security.
You might gain the confidence to take charge of money-related matters after the New Moon on the 26th. This can be about increasing your income or levels of work satisfaction. New beginnings with finances are likely, but first, you need to sort out tricky matters related to outstanding debts, support, or old commitments. Aim to start fresh with your money and business goals.
Gemini
The first three weeks of May are often a time to tie up loose ends and live life under the radar for you, dear Gemini. It’s the case this year in some ways, but you’re also living quite spiritedly! Mercury, your ruler, is moving quickly, and you’ve caught up to speed. Both Venus and Mars are moving in harmony with your sign, bolstering your energy and charm and endowing you with further power to assert yourself and the courage to pursue your desires.
Routes to satisfaction are becoming clearer. While April had its fair share of roadblocks, May feels more energizing and supportive overall. People, more often than not, respond positively to you, and support from friends, associates, groups, or even your community can be forthcoming. The month is particularly supportive of your efforts to connect harmoniously with others.
Energy is generally good this month, even if it’s sometimes directed to your private life or the background. May is a month for dusting off ideas you’ve previously put on the shelf. People are paying more attention. There can be a lot of your energy focused on helping or supporting others this month, and you might often find yourself in a position of go-between or mediator. You can be especially intuitive and sometimes quite distracted and preoccupied this month.
You’re mentally wired, and you want to put ideas into action this month. You might feel impatient with idle chatter or with others’ slower pace or minds, making it imperative that you find ways to move at your own pace or work independently. There can be a significant intellectual competition in May.
The Full Moon on the 12th is eye-opening and warm. This is a time ripe for discovery, surprise, and blooming, especially related to intimacy, work, and health. These are areas of your life that can reach a turning point. The focus should be on both physical and mental health, which becomes especially obvious if you’ve prioritized one over the other. If your daily affairs have become difficult to manage, for example, you’ll get a kick in the pants to get things under control.
Relationships with friends and associates improve considerably in May. If you’ve been out of touch or dealing with confusing situations, you’ll find that these issues clear up this month. People are warmer and more inclined to reach out. As well, you’re more receptive.
While you’re in your yearly period of repose and winding down, it can be a big idea month, and it’s quite excellent for reaching out to others, although part of you wants nothing more than to withdraw and replenish your energy! Dealing with errands and short trips may be frequent, and a balance should be sought.
With the Sun’s position in your privacy sector to the 20th and Mars in your communications sector all month, you may be giving off a “leave me alone” energy. However, Venus helps smooth over your relations with special friends and groups.
In fact, you’re connecting with your dreams, desire to participate, and happiness goals, and it’s extremely rewarding–even healing. As you humble yourself to your need for community or contributing, you feel good about yourself, freer, happier, and more personally confident.
From May 4th forward, you may find yourself reassessing, observing, and gaining a new vision of a publishing project, educational path, or belief system.
It’s an excellent time to make mental and social connections. Your communications, teachings, studies, ideas, and writing may be a little hasty at times, and there can be times when you feel mentally wired. However, you enjoy greater passion and motivation to get things done and to learn or produce. You may not often sit still, and you’re inclined to want to initiate independent work and projects. You learn best when you are teaching yourself or engaged in self-study right now.
The Sun is in your sign from the 20th forward, launching your month-long personal power period. This transit brings you into the personal spotlight. The New Moon on the 26th kickstarts new beginnings. It’s a time when you’re coming out of your shell, connecting with others more often, and stirring things up.
The last week of the month is strong for resolving problems, getting back into the swing of things, developing new or picking up old interests, studies, or other “busy work,” and a stronger feeling that you’re on track. Verbalizing your desires can be in sharp focus. You can feel driven to express yourself or communicate with someone. Others hear you or turn to you for your input. It’s a week of meaningful realizations, epiphanies, and clarifications.
Cancer
In May, there can be encouraging forward movement and clarity regarding long-term goals, career, money, and life direction, dear Cancer. Where things seemed blocked, delayed, or unclear in April, you will likely see advances and resolutions this month. Friendships, networking, group connections, and your social life are in strong focus.
There is a social theme to the month ahead, but your practical affairs are also in good shape. Career matters fly along relatively smoothly.
Pluto’s retrograde cycle from the 4th points to benefits from a review or reassessment of debts, dependencies, and intimate relationships. If the give-and-take or trust in a key relationship has fallen out of balance, you’ll feel it more intensely now. Romantic relationships or recreation and creativity, especially related to issues of control or fear, can also come into sharper focus with this shift. As the retrograde progresses (it lasts until October), you might find that you’re detaching just enough to make improvements. For instance, this could mean taking a step back to reassess your needs and boundaries in a relationship or finding a new balance in your shared responsibilities.
Expressing your uniqueness is especially important to you, and the need to work cooperatively within the framework of a group or with friends or the community is likely to figure strongly. Your independent side has been prominent in recent months, but this month, you are softening rough edges.
You receive real cosmic support for making updates rather than radically changing areas of your life this month. Stability is important for you as a Cancer, but progress is something you need these days, particularly on a social level, and this way, you can have both!
This is a socially focused month for you. It’s a good period for sharing your time and expertise and sorting through feelings.
May is an excellent time for professional appeal or for making friends through your career or business. It’s a good time to polish up your image or bring more personal appeal and a creative touch to your work. There can be second chances to make an impression.
Around the Full Moon on the 12th, you are in excellent shape for excitement in your social or romantic life as feelings bloom. There can be powerful epiphanies and a significant turning point in a relationship or with a project close to your heart. Issues about love, joy, a passion project, creative pursuit, or children can be at the forefront now.
Discussions with friends or ideas generated through your networks can be truly inspiring and useful, particularly from May 10th to 25th. You tend to draw in helpful or kind people, and you’re in a particularly good position for counseling, agreements, and negotiations.
You are capable of quite a bit of work if you foresee an improved financial position or a more secure state of being. Watch for possessiveness, but build your resources now. While you should take care not to spend impulsively, it’s a stellar time for putting more faith and confidence in your ability to earn or in your talents. You’re seeking more security and comfort, and you’re prepared to take the necessary steps toward these ends.
Past work or earned life experiences can help you in your work or give you special direction. As well, giving your career or responsibilities your all can help you feel less guilty about truly enjoying periods of rest and relaxation. And, as you allow yourself time to heal and detox, the benefits of emotional renewal positively impact your career or reputation.
Later in May, much is going on behind the scenes and on an emotional level as you deal with loose ends and prepare for a personal new year. You could take some form of time-out or period of repose or recuperation. This is a time to consider what you want to take with you into the new solar year, which begins around your birthday. It’s about doing a spring cleaning in your psyche. You can feel more insular than usual from the 20th forward.
Carving out time for extra rest, meditation, and reflection is especially important now, and the New Moon on the 26th can nudge you forward along these lines. A past topic can be reawakened as new insight emerges. You might discover a hidden resource or develop an idea that helps you use your resources in exciting ways.
Leo
The month ahead particularly supports broadening your horizons and branching out, dear Leo, perhaps through an expansion of your audience, adventure, or studies. A personal philosophy or belief system comes into stronger focus and more clarity. Where April was bumpy, blocks clear in May.
You’re also in a fine position to take charge of your work, manage others, take the lead, and make great strides towards your larger goals in May. You’re willing to put in the legwork and just the right amount of extra effort to shine–or outshine.
You can be quite headstrong and independent in May. While you have a strong sense of the rules, the enterprising side of your nature emerges powerfully this month, and you could find yourself challenging traditions.
You’re taking a well-rounded approach to life this month, which may be the key to your overall success. Activities with others keep you busy and motivated. Learning with study groups can be beneficial, or you might acquire new knowledge or gain inspiration from groups you connect with now. It’s a powerful time to learn, guide, share, and connect–and to heal through these experiences.
Pluto’s retrograde cycle from the 4th forward (until October) holds the potential for new discoveries and insights. It’s a time to reassess one-on-one relationships and living conditions. You might review your feelings or examine whether you’ve been clinging to old patterns instead of braving new territory. The process of gaining more objectivity will help you identify areas where you’ve pushed too hard or where you’ve been too attached for your own good!
While you are likely to be doing a good job of balancing your personal and professional lives, if these areas are out of whack, the Full Moon on the 12th will point you in the right direction, whether this is via an event or personal epiphany. Home and family matters assume larger importance, and you might discover or connect with strong feelings about your living arrangements or family situation. This can be a wonderful time for reaching out to or spending extra time with family. It can also be a time for significant memories that help you make decisions in the present.
Mars is energizing your sign all month. There can be times when you clash with others, or circumstances seem to be resisting you, but overall, you’re raring to go, ready to take action. Lively energy is with you! This Mars transit is energizing – you’re ready to take on a challenge, and you’re interested in innovating, being the first, and getting ahead. Venus in a compatible sign attracts rather than pursues, so you have both yin and yang energies going for you now.
Some friendly competition can help inspire happy improvements. Business connected with art, music, and other creative ventures can prosper, or there can be the right timing with money and business. Mutually beneficial agreements, romance, increased confidence, and broadening your mind are in favor. Romantic possibilities are with you, possibly with someone with a very different background.
With Mars in Leo this month, you can be impatient with too much talk or long-drawn-out explanations. As long as you are determined to make the most of this period, it’s a great time for standing up for yourself and for new initiatives that require action and courage more than plans and deliberation. You can’t force confidence – confidence builds as self-mastery skills increase. This is why truly confident moves have wonderful results now, and rash or pushy moves seem to have consequences.
The Sun moves into your friendship sector on the 20th, spotlighting your social life and happiness goals. There can be the chance to start fresh on a social level after the New Moon on the 26th. The last week of the month particularly supports new interests and friendships or a new lease on an old friendship. Your enthusiasm wins others over, and your unique qualities and perspective give your personality extra sparkle.
Transits help clarify a matter about a friendship or a special project. You can be filled with excitement and anticipation about emerging new ideas for long-term plans and projects. Developing a friendly rapport with someone can be highly motivating. You’re independent this month, but you are wise enough to value the group and cherished friends’ input. Diplomacy has its distinct benefits.
Virgo
There is a strong focus on adventure, spirit, and mind expansion this month, dear Virgo, but much is going on under the hood in May, especially with your intimate life and/or with money matters and support. Where there was some waiting, delays, and backtracking with these issues in April, doors are opening to you in May. The chances of smoothing over a disagreement or attracting the support you need are high.
Your larger focus seems to be on the “big picture” in May. You’re seeking to stretch your mind. You see your heart more clearly, which also helps decision-making. Positive shifts can happen as you embrace exploring new subjects and places. Extra rest is crucial this month, but refreshing activities are essential, too.
Pluto begins its yearly retrograde cycle on May 4th, and problem areas can magnify with the shift, likely related to work, routines, communications, and health. As you grow accustomed to this energy, you’re in a brilliant position to review and reassess these matters as you gain perspective. You might more clearly see where you’ve been over-attached or where you’ve put too much pressure on yourself along these lines.
Doing out-of-the-ordinary things or changing routines up is attractive in May, but there is a considerable focus on healing, resting, and tying up loose ends as Mars transits the sign just behind yours all month. You’re gaining the motivation and energy to handle a matter that has been on your mind for some time. Otherwise, it’s an important period for resting and reorienting yourself. Your desires are more complex than usual, and when you do know what you want, you may not see an easy way to go after it! Ideally, this leads to creative solutions and detours.
The Full Moon on the 12th is fantastic for opening up the lines of communication or making connections, reaching out, putting the word out, and making your ideas known. Mind you, there can be a rush to get something done and a harried pace, but this can also be an exciting time for discovering a passion or new interest.
You benefit from feeling backed and respected, which can motivate you to work harder or to enjoy what you do more fully. Your interactions can be pleasantly spicy or intimacy-boosting. It’s a fabulous time to get to know yourself better as you get in touch with your more profound needs and desires. Ultimately, relationships are likely to strengthen as you understand yourself better.
Professional matters look bright, and you can be in an excellent position to arrive at a mutually beneficial agreement, cooperate with others, or receive helpful feedback this month. You can be managing financial support issues or formulating strategies for meeting your goals. Quiet study or research can yield the answers you need and perhaps some rewards. Further, focusing on something absorbing and pouring a lot of energy into a project you care about can boost your mood.
Pursuing heartfelt activities and building alliances are in favor. Researching, editing, or otherwise going over business, health, and financial matters can be satisfying. Still, it can also be a time of new, unusual, or radically different interests. Your worldview is changing, and current events can be catalysts for exploring new ideas. Educational plans might shift, or a sudden opportunity for different experiences can emerge.
On the 20th, the Sun heads to the top of your solar chart, increasing your ambition or sense of responsibility. After the New Moon on the 26th, you can start fresh with your image or career. There’s lovely support for your ideas, learning, travel, and career aspirations in the last week of May.
You might receive special attention in the last week of the month, or certain plans come together as details emerge. This can be a significant period for your work, career, life path, or direction as the Sun and Mercury align at the top of your solar chart. New insights into your career path or business projects can emerge, which can propel you forward or motivate you. Meaningful conversations or communications occur that help you turn a corner.
Libra
Relationships, finances, passion, intimacy, education, and adventure make up the larger themes of May for you, dear Libra, and are areas of increased focus and opportunity. Learning and exploring with a partner or good friend can be very beneficial now. It can be an uplifting time of more honesty and warm experiences and activities with a special person, as well as boosts to a relationship. A partner or your relationship goals could play a vital role in motivating you to learn or do more.
Where you may have felt stuck, in limbo, or delayed in April, more clarity arrives in May. This month is strong for a sense that you’re getting back on track. Relationships smooth over. Your stellar ability to compromise, negotiate, and bring balance to your life is back up to par and then some!
You can be very active with friends and groups this month, but you’re also easily absorbed in your private life, ideally finding the right balance between the two. You might find that you achieve the most or are the most motivated through your involvement with a group or team. You may be more active with friends and associates, perhaps actively working towards a cherished cause or dream.
It’s a time when you’re not particularly content with simply dreaming, wishing, and hoping for better circumstances. You’ll want to take solid action toward realizing your goals and making improvements. There can be a strong focus on new technology or methods. You’re inventive and drawn to endeavors that are forward-looking and unique.
Even so, in many ways, this is a month for soul-searching, digging, and investigating. You may be doing a lot of observing and planning, and you’re inclined to pour quite a bit of energy into engrossing projects and interests. You’re getting in better touch with your inner power and recognizing and building support from others.
Pluto begins its yearly retrograde cycle on May 4th. With the shift, there can be a temporary magnification of problems, complications, and fears related to those areas of your chart strongly influenced by Pluto: romance, creativity, recreation, finances, and security. Pressures will subside going forward, and in fact, you’ll reach the point where you’re significantly detached enough to gain a better perspective on these things. This way, you can more clearly see where fear and over-attachment may have worked against you. This powerful period for self-knowledge continues until October.
This is also a potentially strengthening month for close relationships. You’re clearer about who you care about and who has your back. Meeting people through your personal interests, studies, or travels is likely. You are better able to express yourself and to “get” others. This month, you enjoy more ease in social situations and possibly romantic excitement. You want to break out of the mold or routine in various ways through what you learn and where you go. Certainly, you’re more courageous and motivated to try new things.
Around the Full Moon on the 12th, you’re in particularly good shape for making financial discoveries and adjustments. You’re recognizing your worth or value and seeking out your rightful share. A conversation or news arrives now that nudges you toward these epiphanies. A business deal or project might come to full bloom now. Ownership, sharing, power, and money matters can be up for change or improvement.
Sharing your feelings or intimate matters can be fun and rewarding, especially from the 10th to the 25th. You might open up a topic that is usually taboo or left unspoken. Healthy, frank discussions boost your relationships.
Mars spending the month in your social sector can animate your friendships, group associations, and happiness goals. At the same time, it’s likely to stir up problem areas that may have been brewing under the surface with friends or networks.
The Sun moves into harmony with your sign and into your spirit sector on the 20th, launching a month-long cycle in which you feel more vibrant and connected to your dreams and goals. You’re opening up to new ideas and mental explorations. The New Moon on the 26th brings a fresh start with special interests, adventures, or legal matters.
In the last days of the month, you’re excited about expanding a business, relationship — or your mind and experiences. Illumination can occur on a mental level, and there can be a clearing of the air or an important discovery or connection made this week. The desire to share your philosophy or unique perspective can be powerful. Doing your own thing, perhaps ironically, gets you closer to others.
Scorpio
You are more ambitious than usual and quite focused on accomplishment this month, dear Scorpio. You’re not in any mood to be told what to do, preferring to lead the way yourself in May. Mars brings extra muscle and motivation to your career, image, status, and responsibilities. You’re in fine shape for sorting out your duties, organizing your personal and workspace, and researching your options.
You’re more invested than usual in the success of your relationships this month, and negotiations and diplomacy are highlighted. Fortunately, Venus is back in the game, and relating is more straightforward.
Pluto begins its retrograde cycle on May 4th, positioning you well to review, reassess, and gain a new perspective about areas of your chart strongly influenced by Pluto: your personal goals, personality, security, comfort, family, and home or domestic life. Some related plans may need adjustment, but you might find it easier to detach from pressures and fears in these areas. You’ll find this process more comfortable as you grow more accustomed to this energy.
Even so, where there were delays, confusion, and irritations in April, you’ll enjoy forward movement, corrected courses, and clarifications in May. The areas most affected by slowdowns have been relationships, work, routines, and health. Further clarity comes to these areas of life in May, and perhaps some second chances to work things out. This month not only eases you forward, but it also features some very supportive influences for your partnerships and finances.
With Mars at the top of your solar chart, you can be especially dynamic with business, career, and life plans. It certainly helps that you have boosted charisma on the job with Venus moving through your work and health sector all month. Your ambitions are stirring, and you’re taking the lead.
Improvements in your routines, habits, and everyday life that enhance your intimate life or feelings of personal empowerment can be in the spotlight this month. You’re also working on making your connections stronger and happier, and you have cosmic support for this task.
Around the Full Moon on the 12th can be an especially illuminating period. Projects come to bloom, and you come into touch with your true feelings on a matter. What you’ve been brushing to the side can no longer be ignored! This can be a magical time for relationships but also for self-discovery, as this Full Moon occurs in your sign. Your intuitive feelers are on double duty! It can be an important time to check in with those feelings and desires you’ve brushed off or left unfulfilled.
May can also be a significant money month, not necessarily for windfalls but for getting good deals or gaining support more effortlessly. You don’t shy away from dealing with imbalances of power or from tricky, taboo topics this month, and you’re ready to take charge in your intimate life, especially in the last week of May.
This can be a time of increased activity in your career, but you may also feel a strong desire to take the lead and act independently. In your personal life, however, you’re in an entirely different frame of mind. Collaboration and cooperation are in focus.
The lines of communication open with a significant other or good friend, especially from the 10th to the 25th. You’re in a particularly good light on the job, at the gym, or other activities related to your daily routines and health pursuits, leading to social or romantic opportunities or simply more pleasure in your everyday life.
A significant other can help give you perspective this month and shared plans and ideas can improve your bond. Energies are excellent for conversations with a partner, advisor, or counselor. Others can be your sounding board. Listen when people compliment you or recognize your talents and potential, as the feedback can be precious to you now.
The last week of the month includes a New Moon in your intimacy and sharing sector, prompting the urge or need to start fresh. It’s a fine time for exciting lifestyle changes and feeling on top of things. Transits support building exciting strategies for your work or future. You might also see an intimate relationship, your personal psychology and inner desires, or financial issues more clearly now. Solving a mystery can be rewarding, or you might have a particularly illuminating discussion about a matter that was previously hidden, kept under wraps, or incredibly complicated.
Sagittarius
The month ahead is powerful for taking care of business, improving routines and health, and enjoying and expressing yourself, dear Sagittarius. In other words, you’re working and playing hard, and it’s a nice balance. Mars animates your spirit sector, while charming Venus spends the month in your romance and creativity sector. It’s a time for making connections, meeting people, and becoming more active with others. Learning and sharing can be exciting.
You move beyond the blocks and delays of April and enjoy special attention, relationships, and improved routines in May. Problems straighten out, and answers or news you’ve been waiting for arrive. Conversations that left you stumped can start to make sense this month.
Even so, Pluto begins its retrograde cycle on the 4th, which lasts over five months, putting you in a more reflective frame of mind. It’s a great time to search deep within for answers. It’s also a time to take a break from pushing yourself too hard mentally. Some projects may stall or need editing, adjustments, and refinements. While the shift can magnify fears and problem areas, as you adjust to this energy, you’ll find this cycle quite valuable for self-understanding.
There can be much activity and focus on work, analysis, reorganization, and fixing problem areas in your life. You’re particularly motivated to do a good job, and you might thoroughly enjoy helping out others. You’re more conscientious as a result and take pride in solving problems, acquiring or honing skills, and taking care of business. You can be especially productive and enjoy the feeling of being useful. Still, there is a lot of room for pleasant diversions and rewards.
Around the Full Moon on the 12th, there can be an unexpected moment of truth and a need to rest, reflect, and otherwise pull yourself together. This is not about getting clear or reliable answers from the outside but about clear, intuitive flashes and realizations within you. You can discover how you actually feel about someone or something, and it may be hard to explain what brought you to your conclusions. Your instincts and intuition are working overtime now. It’s a time to recognize your need to pay attention to and balance your mental and physical health.
Focus on healing, reflecting, and reconnecting with some of the emotions you’ve brushed aside in recent weeks. This way, you can bring your renewed self back to your work and self-care programs and do your best.
Mars is a guest in your sector of spirit and adventure all month, fueling your energy and motivating you to reach beyond your usual limits. Certainly, your work and daily affairs can be exhausting at times, and there is a stronger and necessary focus on these things, but you’re also finding the time to pursue other interests and activities that help nourish your soul and inspire you to reach higher. You’re strongly motivated to learn, grow, improve, share, and connect. This can be a time for discovering a new passion or interest, or you could be rekindling an exciting project or study. Either way, you’re enthusiastic.
You are more attached than usual to your opinions, beliefs, traditions, and ideas this month, which can certainly contribute to some problems in your relationships, as you may create a stir occasionally. However, there is good energy with you for pursuing new interests and activities. Competitive activities can be attractive now.
Your romantic or creative life is brighter and happier, and you get special help from Venus, which spends the month in your joy sector, boosting your appeal and personal confidence, and perhaps winning you some admirers, too. You’re more spirited and confident and can be highly motivated to pursue a personal interest, particular topic, hobby, or creative activity. You might expand your horizons through an artistic pursuit or a hearty discussion. It’s more comfortable to attract or enhance love. You are magnetic, but you’re also making happy things happen, and there is a beautiful, warm flow of friendliness between you and the people around you.
It can be a lovely period for enhancing your relationships or love life. It’s also a time when your self-honesty leads to more genuineness in your romantic world or creative output.
Relationships come into stronger focus in the latter part of the month. The need for companionship might increase now. There can be more seriousness in your relationships and perhaps some balancing to do. The New Moon on the 26th clears the path for new beginnings or a fresh approach to partnerships.
The last week of May is strong for relationship and creative excitement. Conversations or interactions with a significant person can be particularly illuminating, meaningful, or motivating. Sharing a vision or a unique experience can strengthen a bond.
Capricorn
The month ahead is one of diverse themes, dear Capricorn, but perhaps most importantly, you’ll feel that you’re moving forward in May. This comes as a relief after the sometimes stuck, “in limbo” vibe of previous months. May is a month of more clarity in your home life or with living conditions and arrangements. Romance, intimacy, and health are also in the spotlight. There is a strong focus on both work and play this month.
Recreation, romance, creativity, pastimes, and hobbies can be sources of more pride, and involvement with these areas of life increases as the Sun transits your sector of joy until the 20th. You’re getting in touch with your need to express yourself as an individual in May. You are putting your unique stamp on whatever you’re doing, and this is an important process of self-discovery.
Pluto begins its yearly retrograde cycle on the 4th, and this change of direction prompts you to review your financial affairs, attitude towards money and things, what and who you value, and self-worth. While fears or worries related to money and security can magnify as this shift happens, the retrograde cycle itself, lasting until October, helps you gain perspective. With less pressure on you to control or micromanage your practical affairs, your choices and decisions improve! Even so, it’s important not to push matters that must evolve in their own due time.
The Full Moon on the 12th can bring sudden or unexpected social activity and epiphanies. It can liberate you from household responsibilities, for example, or it can bring a friend to you who wants your company or help. Alternatively, this can be a time to discover your feelings about a friendship or project. You’ve been quite preoccupied with your personal life and work these days, and now you’re being pulled out of your routine, nudging you towards a better balance. The Full Moon now is a reminder that giving back is rewarding.
Communications of all kinds are emphasized, but especially those involving creative contacts, children, and romantic interests, and they are generally favorable. It’s also a good time for self-promotion efforts, particularly through your creativity and clever ideas.
While there is much focus on diversifying and enjoying yourself, you find it very easy to throw yourself into your own special projects and interests. It’s difficult to find you in a state of boredom this month. Research and analysis can be fruitful and enjoyable. You are inclined to want to investigate matters. A satisfying work-life balance is entirely possible as you pay your work and personal life their due attention. Even so, at times this month, you may feel a little divided between keeping things light and fun or going in deep.
Venus moves through your home and family sector all month and softens any rough edges around the home. You’re combining work/chores and home life in beautiful, growth-oriented ways. It’s also rewarding to connect with your past or childhood issues and work through them, and as you do, you feel healthier or more determined to improve your health.
Favorable energy is with you for support, money, intimate connections, and personal appeal. You’re feeling peaceful yet also gently challenged and ready to take action. You can be especially eager to change your life, particularly on a deep, internal level.
From the 20th forward, more attention to work and routine is in the stars. The New Moon on the 26th brings further power to your work and health sector and encourages you to improve your habits and begin fresh with your routines. Lifestyle improvements are strongly favored after this New Moon. You’re taking charge of your services, working environment, daily life, or health matters. Take stock of your plans and their developments now.
Good experiences on the job are likely, especially in the last week of May. You are finding new ways to get along with others, and people are valuing your services. An idea can come to full bloom, and it can be about your health, daily affairs, chores, or work. Conversations or incoming news can lead the way to new beginnings. You have much to gain from what you see and discover now. You may have been wavering on a matter, trying hard to make sense of it, and now you’re more precise about it, or at least you know where you stand on an issue, and it feels good!
Aquarius
Mars charges through your partnership sector, bringing relationships and interactions with others to life in May, dear Aquarius. You’re also paying due attention to your domestic world, perhaps feeling prouder of your personal life, or you’re recognizing the need to center and anchor yourself. Communications are more straightforward, and you’re connecting well with others and your personal interests this month.
Where there were delays or extended periods of limbo recently, blocks lift in May. Slowdowns for you primarily revolved around communications, transportation, love, and money. May is vibrant, and while it promises some ups and downs, energy flows more smoothly. Financial gain could come from communications or siblings, and so can love opportunities.
Still, Pluto turns retrograde in your sign on May 4th, and this retrograde cycle will last until October. As the shift occurs now, there can be some magnification of unresolved matters, fears, or compulsions. However, once you get beyond this change of direction, the months-long retrograde cycle is excellent for detaching yourself from these things enough to see where you may have been overly worried or obsessing. You’re in a fine position to review and reassess your approach to self-starts, new beginnings, career matters, and responsibilities. If you’ve been over-controlling, you recognize this now and want to take some of the pressure off.
You are in a strong position to improve — and enjoy — your home life and family relationships this month. A fair part of you needs to recoup, regenerate, and decompress this month. However, you begin to crave special attention, fun and games, romance, or hobbies and recreation as May advances. You want to shine!
Around the Full Moon on the 12th is an eye-opening period. You can make some exciting discoveries, but you’re also likely to be called to action if you’ve been too heavily engrossed in your personal life. The Full (Flower) Moon occurring at the top of your solar chart plays a big role in this — you may be called to task, or simply required to fill a responsibility or take the lead now. It may be a time of a promotion, culmination, or the turning point of a project, recognition, a new title, status change, or award.
Renovations, redecorating, and making improvements that allow more freedom as well as organization and comfort on the home front can have long-lasting results. A lot is going on on the inside again this month.
There can be a competitive feel to your partnerships as Mars moves in opposition to your sign all month, and you may be putting more energy into your relationships than usual. Watch for a tendency to instigate or rile up a significant other or to treat a partner as a rival. There can be a tendency for you or a partner to be touchy or for arguments to emerge seemingly out of nowhere. You’re at your best when you work with someone towards a common goal. Perhaps the ideal way to use this energy to your advantage is to allow others to inspire and motivate you. Team up and take action so that excess energy turns outwards. This can be a passionate, revealing time.
Helping you out is Venus in harmony with your sign all month. This position does wonders for your personal appeal. Relationships are smoother as you put more effort into communication or better structure your personal interests to accommodate other pursuits and connections. It can be a good time to humble yourself to the need for improved connections and communication, which helps you in many different life departments. Your words can get you closer to others, at least in spirit. Collaboration can be excellent, and sharing a piece of work, joining a workshop, furthering a cause, or communicating with a new friend can be in happy focus.
From the 20th forward, there is a growing focus on entertainment, romance, and creative self-expression. You’re likely to end the month far more outgoing and confident than you began it. The New Moon on the 26th is an energizing, empowering one as it brings a feeling of rejuvenation or a fresh start with enjoying and expressing yourself.
The last few days of the month are good for gaining some clarity about creative projects, a relationship, or a hobby. You’re taking more pride in your work, ideas, and beliefs. Creative projects could reach a turning point, or there can be a romantic revelation related to a matter that has been developing for some time. An honest, open vibe, especially in your love relationships, is also satisfying.
Pisces
Mars animates your sector of work and health all month, dear Pisces, revving you up and motivating you to take care of business. You’re bringing more muscle and motivation to your health and wellness or self-care programs. If you’ve been putting off going for a check-up or slowing down on fitness, for example, this is a time for getting back into action. You want to take charge. At times, the need to initiate, lead, and work independently can stir up competition or conflict with others, so do what you can to either tone things down a little or prepare yourself for a battle or two, depending on which you prefer!
However, May also features a pleasant focus on your personal interests, money matters, and home and family life. It also feels smoother. Most of the slowdowns or confusing moments in recent months are behind you now. May promises you steady forward motion. Clarifications and advances related to finances, business, communications, and transportation tend to figure strongly now. These things improve, flow naturally, and pick up momentum this month. You know what you want, and you’re picking and choosing your projects more mindfully.
You can often find yourself knee-deep in studies, personal interests, writing, speaking, errand-running, and connecting this month. You can be very influential or persuasive in your communications, guidance, or teachings with the Sun in your solar third house to the 20th and Mercury there from the 10th to the 25th.
May can be a big idea month, and it’s quite excellent for reaching out to others, although there can be times when you feel you have too much on your plate, and you can be a little scattered as a result. Dealing with errands and short trips may be more frequent but can also lead to some nice opportunities.
Around the Full Moon on the 12th, you can experience significant epiphanies and make personal discoveries. It’s a time to connect with and release feelings that were previously held at bay or pushed down deep. Even though any Full Moon can feel heavy or draining, it can also be a time of release, liberation, announcements, and projects reaching a turning point. This one can feature a culmination of studies, published works, or the need for travel, adventure, or freedom to discover and explore things beyond your routine.
Still, Pluto begins its yearly retrograde this month, and with the shift happening, you might experience some intensifying fears, worries, or frustrations. Rest assured, these things should settle down shortly. The retrograde lasts until October, and it encourages you to observe and understand your attachments and fears. You may not have noticed how concerns, guilt, and control issues have worked against you. Now that you’re making these associations, it’s easier to work on healing and resolving problems.
You can be super-motivated this month to reach health and work goals, and you’ll stop at nothing to improve on past performance. You tend to want to set your own pace and goals, and you thrive on the small challenges you create for yourself now.
You are more of a free agent this month, and you are likely to come up with more ideas and plans than you can count. However, you should definitely watch for committing to more of these than you can reasonably manage. Finances are clearer. There can be nice prospects involving your income, family or home life. The desire to make yourself and/or your loved ones more secure motivates you. Business timing improves, and you may want to get creative with your work or routines.
The last week of the month brings a New Moon and the chance for a new beginning. Since the 20th, you’ve been more domestic-focused, and the New Moon helps you formulate goals in this area. There can be standout, meaningful conversations about or with family. Things may be coming together on the home front or regarding living conditions, and ideas can blossom. You are taking pride in your ability to handle personal matters! It’s a wonderful time for pouring more heart into your domestic world.
