Ah, the lusty month of May. One of my favourites, and as well as all that amazing Taurus the bull energy keeping our feet on the ground, there’s an intense full moon in Scorpio.
And now that trickster planet Mercury is back on the level, the right opportunities are easier to spot.
Not like the guddle we were all in last month.
Love planet Venus in Aries shows heavy the door, and speaking of heavy, the big news is that old taskmaster Saturn enters Aries…
Think of May as the bridge between the old world and the one you’re ready to build, but Aries doesn’t like to hang about, so there’s a fire lit beneath ambition for all of us.
Saturn is the planet of restriction and structure. It will eventually meet Neptune, a planet of infinite dreams. How’s that going to work out?
Watch this space.
Here’s your May 2025 horoscope…
Aries
We all know you’re a force of nature, but this Saturn move into your sign gives you enough oomph for a fortnight. Not a time to say ‘I must be somewhere else instead’ and spring off like a spring lamb. This is about facing the planning and enjoying it. I’m talking months in the making too perhaps? This planet is in your sign for two-and-half years all told you see. Mercury mops up confusion, so it’s a two-scoop month for structure and clarity. And get ready for the flames of passion to lick love into shape.
Taurus
The spotlight’s on you Taurus and we can all see what makes you a star, and such flattering angles too! Mercury having moved direct boosts your confidence, clears up mixed messages, and gives you the green light for major life uplifts. Saturn shifting into Aries, your quiet coach, reminds you that you’re sometimes empowered in silence. Behind the scenes, you’re laying foundations that will support your personal causes and dreams. Your calm intuition gets you places and wins favours. Destiny likely arrives like a whisper, well, more like a stage whisper. You can’t ignore Saturn.
Gemini
May takes you gently to one side and says ‘take some time out for yourself’, before the big hullabaloo of the sun in your sign later in the month. The planets bring friendship to the fore, and meaty chats, while Jupiter continues refining that Midas touch. With Saturn in a magical part of the chart, long-term healing and letting go of outdated friendship fears prevails in the next few years. It’s less about external moves and more about internal shifts that unlock your true potential further down the line. Inner and outer wisdom aligning means you can start getting that shoulder to the wheel of ideas.
Cancer
Friends are like family to you. Well, some of them. And the May Taurus energy might entice you beyond that threshold you love staying behind, all cosy and cluttered. Saturn’s move into Aries nudges your long-term career dreams into serious focus because this happens at the top of your chart so it can’t really be ignored. The people you connect with this month could shape your bigger ambitions in surprising ways. You might also come up against authority figures who don’t really seem to have your emotional intelligence.
Leo
Venus moving into your sister sign of Aries could bring travel or a person into your life who’s completely different to you or your usual type. There’s also a month to chat and make plans with friends and family overseas. Saturn’s in the departure lounge of your chart you see, plus you’re being pushed to think bigger about ideas. This is about your legacy and or changing something in a meaningful way, through your thought processes. Brains over brawn, so you might be looking at a new course of study? The sun, your ruler, is atop your chart, so you attract more of the right kind of attention.
Virgo
Your ruler Mercury turns detective, so surface-level explanations just don’t cut the mustard. You could probably reveal your heart’s desire under such terrific energy, but you’re likely torn between secrecy and self-expression (because of the sun in your sister sign of Taurus). You can detach but you can also empathise. Saturn’s move into this mysterious part of the chart can put structure to emotion, but it also means that long-term investments, financial or emotional are areas not to turn your back on now. Grounded and strategic are your watchwords.
Libra
Saturn’s move into your opposite sign of Aries is a biggie for all your relationships. This has got to be about deeper connections that are more kind of serious and committed and less scattered. Boundaries matter big time too. Relationships are not the place for inequality, and the key here is to remember that the pendulum should swing freely back and forth between you for the greatest chance of it lasting as long as your daydreams say it should. The sun in your financial zone highlights shared resources and finances.
Scorpio
Mirror mirror on the wall! Relationships are your reflection, with the sun in your opposite sign of Taurus. Mercury has already cleared up crossed wires, while Saturn marching into Aries calls you to rethink your daily routines and how you show up for yourself at work, and in other day-to-day stuff. Small tweaks in habits could very well lead to greater rewards later, and you might also start paying more attention to the kind of energies you surround yourself with.
Sagittarius
Sun in Taurus for you means work and how you earn your daily bread. You shoot from the hip and leave no crumbs. Talk about industrious. You can get behind it and stay behind it until it’s done. When Saturn enters your sister sign of Aries, your fire sign passions fire up and creative dreams get a serious boost. This might be your umpteenth crack at the whip but no matter, this is about you moving beyond the mundane and bringing structure to fun plans and helping them to grow and stay strong in the sun.
Capricorn
The sun in Taurus means you can walk into a room, light it up, and eat it up. Yes Capricorn, this energy amps up the fun and feel-good factors and fills in the gaps for you if life’s gotten all a bit stodgy lately. It’s amazing what a bit of fun can bring if you graze at this and that. Saturn’s move into your roots zone means you might be putting down some serious ones in the next two-and-a-half years. This energises you from the grassroots up, and you will run with this energy, because when your ruling planet’s involved, it feels like coming home.
Aquarius
Home and hearth might not be what we associate with you Aquarius, but this is the energy around you this month. Feeling blessed and grounded with what you have, but the future will give you a chance at the same time. It always does. You have a pile-up of planetary energy in your communication zone, so you will be making some of your feelings known, but in considered ways. Saturn moving into that zone too strengthens planning, structure, and mental resilience.
Pisces
Cupid may have taken aim and fired at you with Venus in your sign, but now it’s in Aries, it’s all about the practicalities of love. Mercury is now playing ball so communications are back on track, while Saturn’s entry into Aries challenges you to value your ideas enough to act on them. No more hiding in that wee pretend castle at the bottom of the fish tank. You know your worth and nobody is going to be able to ignore or sideline your needs now.
