Your May 2025 Horoscopes: Here's what's in store this month

We’re easing into the quieter months now, after the firestorm of transformation and chaos that was March and April. If any month is begging you to take a chill pill, it's May. Pluto goes retrograde in Aquarius on 5 May, pulling us to face where we’ve been confined by outdated structures in our lives. You might feel the urge to break free, like you're about to launch into some dramatic act of rebellion. Totally valid! But ask yourself: What's the purpose here? What are you really trying to shift? The Full Moon in Scorpio on 13 May is perfect for a psychic detox, clearing out all the residue we’ve picked up this year. Then, as Gemini season kicks off on the 21 May, Saturn slides into Aries on the 25th, and the first wave of Gen-Z starts their Saturn return. For all of us, it’s about stepping into leadership, without compromising our integrity. And finally, the New Moon in Gemini on the 27th gives us a chance to reimagine new paths forward, just because we can.

Below, here are your May 2025 horoscopes.

Aries

The fiery solo mission is wearing thin, and now, more than ever, you’re being asked to consider the strength of your connections. Are you building an empire alone, or are you aligning with others who can hold you to your highest potential? As you move through the month, ask yourself: who’s here for the ride, and who’s holding you back from your true power? The allies you choose now will either fuel your ambition or force you to reevaluate the foundation of your dreams. The full moon will push you to confront the things you've been hiding from, those deep, gnawing fears that you’ve been ignoring in your partnerships. You’ll want to brush them off or pretend they don’t matter, but trust: they matter.

Taurus

Let’s talk about your foundation. What’s propping you up, and what’s crumbling beneath the surface? You’ve spent years building, but are you still standing on solid ground? This is a wake-up call. You may need to face the things that no longer serve you and confront what’s holding you back from true prosperity. You’re at the crossroads of comfort and expansion. The question is: will you allow yourself to grow beyond the safety net, or will you keep clinging to what’s familiar? Come the Full Moon, it’s the hour to let go of something that’s been draining you, even if it feels like security? You can’t keep holding onto things that no longer serve your growth. Let the energy purge you. When the new moon hits, it’ll turn your focus inward – your home, your foundation, your roots.

Gemini

You’ve been crafting an image, curating your life for public consumption. But now, it’s time to ask: is this truly who you are, or just a well-rehearsed act? The world is watching, and you’re no longer hiding behind a facade. It’s your moment to step into a new, unapologetic version of yourself. The external makeover is merely the beginning. It’s about rewriting the narrative that you’ve lived by and taking control of how you are seen and, more importantly, how you see yourself. Own it, because you’ve earned the right to live authentically. Throughout the month, ask yourself: What have you been neglecting? When you can honour your desires, you’ll begin to align with a version of yourself that doesn’t apologise for what she wants.

Cancer

This month, it’s all about your inner sanctuary, your safe space. Are you protecting it, or have you let others invade your boundaries? You’re being asked to go deeper, to understand where your emotional energy is leaking and how you can reclaim it. Self-care to the max, but not in the way you’re used to. It’s more than just bubble baths and comfort food. It’s about protecting your peace and recharging your soul, away from the distractions and demands of the world. What do you need to heal from and how can you do it on your own terms?

Leo

Your network is everything right now. Are you sharing your energy with people who elevate you, or have you been drowning in the wrong crowd? Filter out the noise and get real about who’s actually aligning with your vision. The right connections can help you break down walls, but the wrong ones will keep you stuck in patterns that drain you. Don’t be afraid to walk away from relationships that aren’t serving your highest potential. You’re a leader, and your influence can shape the world, make sure you're not wasting it. As the new moon arrives, your attention will shift to your personal space, to home and family. Are you really building a foundation that supports who you are?

Virgo

It’s all about the grind this month. Your daily routines and commitments are calling for realignment. Are you working for the life you want, or just working for the sake of it? There’s a difference. If you’ve been feeling out of balance or overburdened, turn off your to-do list and recalibrate. Get real about what’s working and what’s just draining your energy. It’s the perfect moment to streamline, clean up, and reestablish your priorities. Don’t settle for busy work, dare to do what brings meaning and reinvention.

Libra

Your creativity is on fire right now, and it's begging to be unleashed. But here’s the thing: this is no time for surface-level indulgence. It’s about digging deep and creating from a place of raw truth. Whether it’s in love, art, or self-expression, you’re being called to get real with yourself about what you’re truly passionate about. Anything half-hearted will fall flat. This is about pouring your soul into what you create, no apologies, no holding back. Only what is fully, unapologetically yours can truly thrive. Then, as the new moon arrives, your attention will turn to how you’re expressing yourself. Are you being authentic, or are you hiding behind convenience?

Scorpio

Dive into the deepest corners of your soul. What’s been lingering beneath the surface, waiting for the right moment to emerge? This month is all about intimacy, both with yourself and others. But here's the catch: true intimacy requires you to drop the armour and let people in. No more hiding behind emotional walls. If you can trust yourself enough to share, you’ll find that your most vulnerable places are where your greatest power lies. The question is: can you trust enough to let it all come to light? Then, Full Moon in your sign will demand that you look at your sense of self. Who are you, really? Where have you been holding back from becoming the person you want to be? Start planting those seeds. The shift won’t be immediate, but it's a critical first step.

Sagittarius

It’s relationship season, but not in the way you might expect. This is about getting real with yourself and those closest to you. The connections that matter now are those where you can stand in your truth, not those that require you to shrink. Stop people-pleasing and start honouring your own needs. The deeper you go with others, the more you’ll find that true intimacy is about mutual respect and understanding. Anything less will be exposed for what it is, surface-level, superficial and unsustainable.

Capricorn

Let’s get down to business: your work and your daily habits need some serious attention. Are you doing what you say you want to be doing, or just filling time? This month is all about aligning your routines with your highest aspirations. If you're feeling stuck, it's probably because your actions aren’t reflecting your true values. Cut the distractions, make room for what truly matters, and the rest will follow. When Saturn moves into Aries on the 25th, it’ll likely ask if you've been neglecting your sense of security? Use this energetic portal to reimagine your environment and make it one that supports the transformation you're going through. It won’t be a quick fix, but it’s an important start.

Aquarius

You’re in a creative space, but it’s more than just artistic expression. What excites you? What makes you feel alive and magnetic? Don’t hold back. This month, allow yourself to explore whatever lights you up. Whether it’s a new hobby, a relationship, or an idea, dive in without reservations. Remember, what’s most magnetic about you is not the “perfect” version but the unapologetic one. Give yourself permission to shine in whatever form it takes.

Pisces

Home is where your heart is, but are you truly honouring it? This month calls for deep reflection on where you find peace and comfort. The external world may be chaotic, but you have the power to create a sanctuary within. Whether it’s physical space or emotional grounding, curate an environment that nurtures your spirit. Seek comfort, but not from things or people, seek it from within. When you’re centred, everything else will follow. Scorpionic energy is laser sharp, and you might be confronting your beliefs around self-worth on the Full Moon. So, what are you holding onto in the material world that’s weighing you down? Clear the clutter, both physically and emotionally.
