May Horoscope 2025: What's Up for Your Zodiac Sign

Your May Horoscope Overview

The month’s big news: Saturn enters Aries on the 24th. Read on for all the planet highlights.

Pluto stations retrograde on the 4th, an annual occurrence that provides the perfect backdrop for deep introspection. You can go within, get to the root of problems, and break bad habits. It’s also an ideal period to examine your relationship to power. Do you manage it well? Or are you tempted to control others? If you can loosen the reins, you’ll enjoy the ride more. Pluto remains retrograde until October 13th.

Mercury saunters into Taurus on the 10th, and practical thinking is in. This down-to-earth transit of Mercury favors common sense solutions. Tap into that, and you’ll be less likely to make errors. It’s also a divine time to plan your summer home improvement projects. You can see what needs to be done and the best way to get there.  Mercury remains in Taurus until the 25th.

When the Full Moon in Scorpio arrives on the 12th, let go of grudges. It’s your best lunation for releasing old baggage. As you do, you’ll feel so much lighter! Intuition is elevated this day, so be sure to pay attention to your feelings. They will not fail you. However, emotions are intense under a Full Moon, especially in Scorpio. A self-care day may be in order if you feel rocked by this energy.

The Sun in Gemini on the 20th means conversations are about to get a lot more lively! Curiosity reigns supreme, wit is in, and gossip is too juicy to ignore. During these four weeks, you’ll want to indulge your mind with classes, books, short trips, and neighborhood block parties. This is a highly social period; enjoy yourself as much as possible. The Sun will be here until June 20th.

The big news of the month: Saturn enters Aries on the 24th. Saturn is associated with boundaries, structures, and lessons. Aries is like a wild child that wants to break the rules. During this period, which lasts about two years, you’ll want to find a way to tame your impulsive side. Find the balance between Aries’s courage and Saturn’s discipline. Take responsibility for your issues and act like an adult. If you do that, you’ll grow in exciting new ways. This transit is also ideal for bold but measured leadership. Take the lead, but hold the reins firmly and gently. You’ll score more victories that way.

Mercury slides into home base Gemini on the 25th. Mercury rules Gemini, so it is happy here. This is your best time to learn, talk it out, and feed your head. You can be easily distracted, though, so try not to take on all the things. Mercury will leave Gemini for moody Cancer on June 8th.

Lastly, the New Moon in Gemini is fantastic for starting new conversations, signing contracts, and getting out and about. Why stay cooped up when there is fun in the sun?
