Your Monthly Horoscopes: May 2025

• Full Moon in Scorpio (5/12): An ugly truth can’t be ignored
• New Moon in Gemini (5/26): Gossip central
• Other Key Dates: 5/2, 5/18, 5/22

The family drama and romantic upheaval that’s been playing out since September is stabilizing. You’re in a better financial place than you’ve been in years. Feeling resourced is a huge boost to your self-confidence, but some lingering insecurities may bubble to the surface around the full moon in Scorpio on the 12th. To combat the existential dread, movement is your medicine. That means getting out of bed at 7 for Pilates class but also asking the cool person in the locker room if they want to grab coffee after. This is a month to put yourself out there and have more experiences. Just make sure you’re journaling about it too.

Love Horoscope: The situationship that’s haunted you since November has fizzled for good, and you’re glowing with freedom. You’re magnetic. Maybe you want to jump into more dating, but self love is key right now. Explore your options and take yourself on dates, especially on the 2nd and 22nd.

Money Horoscope: April concluded with a new moon in Taurus, your money sector, and resources are flowing to you in May. It’s been a tough few years for your bank account, but you’re in control and having fun again. A risk you take on the 17th could pay off big time in the future.

• Full Moon in Scorpio (5/12): Signing or breaking a lease
  New Moon in Gemini (5/26): Get rich quick schemes
• Other Key Dates: 5/2, 5/6, 5/16, 5/22

It’s your season, Taurus! The sun and Mercury spend most of this month in your sign amping up your beauty and self expression. You’re catching everyone’s attention and making them laugh, but you’re also living at a remove. You’re dealing with internal shifts, and others might not get it. That means you have to take extra good care of yourself. Ignore the external pressure to be “on” all the time. Meditation, solo day trips and afternoons in a dark movie theater are good for your soul. Once Gemini season begins on the 20th, the urge to pick up extra gigs or launch a side hustle is real and worth it, just try not to burn yourself out!

Love Horoscope: The full moon in Scorpio on the 12th brings a thorny issue in your relationship to the surface. Arguments with your partner over domestic responsibilities are constant. Relief comes when you reclaim some personal space. It’s wonderful to do everything together, but it’s also wonderful to hear your own thoughts.

Money Horoscope: The new moon in Gemini on the 26th brings a lot of action to your money sector. This could bring a straight forward boost, like a raise. It’s also likely to bring other forms of expansion like clarity around expenses, a fancy meal, designer shoes, or the launch of a side hustle.

• Other Key Dates: 5/5, 5/10, 5/18, 5/24, 5/25, 5/27, 5/30

May has three distinct chapters for you, Gemini. The first is a continuation of the social butterfly emergence period that you’ve been in since March, connecting and reconnecting with friends and lovers. The second part begins when Mercury enters Taurus on the 10th which for you, is an opportunity to take a step back. Get into meditation! Read a book for once! Think of this as your monk era. The third part begins on the 25th when Mercury enters Gemini, and you leave the monastery to share all that you’ve learned. You’re buzzy and chatty and feeling yourself. I say “new moon, new you” to one of the signs every month, but this time I really mean it. The new moon in Gemini on the 26th is a true glow up.

Love Horoscope: You’re getting closer to finding what you want in love—especially on the 5th—but once again, this is a month to focus on yourself. That being said, a flirtation in your social circle that comes in hot then fizzles mid-month may return in June.

Money Horoscope: The days following the new moon in Gemini on the 26th are ripe with financial potential for you. You’re growing in confidence and soon so will your bank account. Use this month to consider what risks you’re willing to take.

It’s been a difficult year on your mind and body, Cancer, and May allows you to find grounding within your community. Next steps and big dreams are ready to move from the theoretical to the tangible. It’s time to manifest, baby! Momentum is building in your career and public image this month as you find more opportunities to take the lead. At the same time though, you need to practice some healthy detachment. If things don’t work out exactly the way you want them to, take the redirect as a gift. Rejection really can be protection.

Love Horoscope: The full moon in Scorpio on the 12th is intense for all, but romantic for you. Lighting up your love and creativity sector, this full moon is all about breaking away from feeling under-resourced in connection and claiming what you deserve. Investments in your artistic practice or fancy dates are worth it this month.

Money Horoscope: The financial struggles that you’ve been dealing with on and off since November are finally in the rearview. The urge to throw money at the problem is still there, but you’re wiser now, and much scrappier. A boost to your income might manifest if you’re willing to ask for it on the 22nd.

• Full Moon in Scorpio (5/12): Family secrets revealed
  New Moon in Gemini (5/26): Night of One Thousand Parties
• Other Key Dates: 5/17, 5/20, 5/30

The comfort you’re craving comes when you take the lead. As much as you’d like to look fabulous and let someone else run the ship it’s time to own your power. May is when all the chaotic moves you’ve been making in your career finally start to make sense. That being said, further changes are inevitable, and you might receive some unexpected career news on the 17th. As much as you might yearn for a “linear” path, you’re learning it’s more fun to be adaptable. As your career is growing, you’re also building a lot of momentum in your social life. “Relaxation” right now looks like planning all the details for a summer vacation with your besties.

Love Horoscope: A major vibe shift is coming for your love life. Saturn—the planet that rules over your partnerships, and makes you deeply loyal and committed, sometimes to a fault—changes signs on the 24th. After three years of navigating murky emotional and financial boundaries with Saturn in Pisces, it’s time for Saturn in Aries to bring new relational horizons.

You’re off on an adventure this month, Virgo. Whether traveling abroad, diving into spiritual studies or finalizing plans for grad school, you’re finding comfort and grounding through pushing your limits and expanding your mind. The full moon in Scorpio on the 12th reveals who in your life supports you doing your own thing and who’d rather you stay small. Misery loves company but you don’t have to remain in those painful dynamics anymore. Gemini season (from the 20th) pulls your focus to your career and public image. Taking up space may feel chaotic but it also feels so good. The spotlight is on you. Consider carefully who can share your spotlight.

Love Horoscope: A clarifying conversation on the 5th lets you know where you stand with someone. Part of you has been avoiding this conversation because you’re terrified of discovering you don’t matter to them. Maybe the more terrifying option is realizing how much they do care.
Money Horoscope: Investments, entrepreneurial ventures and collaborations that began back in February are finding their footing in May. Though you’re not seeing immediate returns, you’ve set up a solid foundation. Patience is key. Don’t give up yet!

• Other Key Dates: 5,2, 5/6, 5/16, 5/22

A lot of what you’ve been going through these past few months has been hard to talk about. You’re dealing with issues that aren’t meant for networking events or polite dinner conversation. Things that feel taboo. May is for finding peace and opening up to a select few who you trust. It’s also when you finally get your groove back. The healing is working! You’re becoming more secure. Commitments that seemed tenuous are now sure things, especially after Saturn enters Aries on the 24th. You’re also gaining momentum around travel and education. What’s stopping you from taking the leap and expanding your mind?

Love Horoscope: The long, strange trip of Venus retrograde is over. Thank goddess! You’re no longer interested in revisiting past situationships or digging up archival crushes.

• New Moon in Gemini (5/26): Absolving a debt
• Other Key Dates: 5/2, 5/18, 5/22

Momentum is building for you at work, Scorpio. All these extra gigs and opportunities are paying off your debts, and allowing you to feel both abundant and held. May is for treating yourself, whether that’s to an extra night of takeout or an acupuncture session. Likely both. The full moon in Scorpio on the 12th is all about big emotions for you. It’s vulnerable but it’s also visible. This isn’t a cathartic therapy session behind closed doors, but an impassioned speech at a public event. You’ve let stage fright hold you back in the past, but now, there’s no choice but to tell your story.

Love Horoscope: Taurus season (through the 20th) is the time of year when you’re most focused on other people and relationships.

On the 17th, you might meet someone who’s outside your usual type but who perfectly fits these desires.

Money Horoscope: The new moon in Gemini on the 26th is for reconciling your accounts. Both emotionally and financially. The last year has been about opening your heart and accepting financial help. Set intentions around enjoying some deserved prosperity.

If nothing else makes sense this month, you can trust in your routines. Grounding comes through the simple acts like flossing, doing your little twenty minute pilates video in the morning and packing your kids’ lunches. There’s momentum in your creativity and romantic life, and you’re finding joy through commitment. As good as things feel right now, the full moon in Scorpio on the 12th is a brief detour into exhaustion and dread. This full moon lights up your unconscious sector forcing you to face an ugly truth you’ve been avoiding. Once the secrets are out on the table though, you realize they’re not so terrifying after all. Great relief comes through commiserating with lovers and friends.

Love Horoscope: Whether you’re happily partnered or chaotically single, the new moon in Gemini on the 26th brings a beautiful fresh start for your love life.

• Other Key Dates: 5/20, 5/24, 5/25

Grounding comes through leaning into creativity, play and romance this month, Capricorn. That’s right: you don’t have to earn joy, you just have to live it. Momentum is building at work and in your daily routines. There’s a lot going on but you’re finding your flow. You’re also putting a lot of work into home improvement projects and spending time with family, and both come with more ease than they did earlier this year. Your biggest shift in over two years comes on the 24th when your ruling planet Saturn enters Aries. From now through April 2028, your task is to create your private world. Not anyone else’s. Yours.

Much of May is focused on your home and private life. Grounding comes through nesting and cozy homebody nights. You’re not just vegging though, you’re building an empire from your couch. You’re gaining momentum in both your communications and creativity, and maybe learning a new skill. Your biggest shift in over two years comes on the 24th when your ruling planet Saturn enters Aries. Since March 2023, you’ve hunkered down and built up your resources, and from now through April 2028, it’s time to put what you’ve saved into your local community and entrepreneurial endeavors. Also if you’re trying to conceive—either an artistic project or an actual baby—the new moon in Gemini on the 26th brings some good news.

So This Is Why the Aquarius Personality Is So Rare

• New Moon in Gemini (5/26): Homecoming
• Other Key Dates: 5/5, 5/18

Comfort this month is about finding magic in the day to day. You’re casting spells with memes in the group chat. You’re at peace drinking wine with your sister. You’re working everyday at the new local coffee shop while falling in love with the barista. All the effort you’ve been putting into saving money and improving (or finding) your home is starting to feel worth it. All the struggle and chaos and scattered thoughts are replaced with real clarity and purpose. You might not be a literal professor, but you have a presentation and you’re ready to share the slides with the class.

Love Horoscope: May isn’t a particularly active month for your love life astrologically speaking. You might not be going out on dates but you’re flirting a lot via text or out at happy hour. Notice who always grounds the conversation.

Money Horoscope: Saturn—planet of limits and boundaries—enters Aries and your money sector on the 24th. From now until April 2028, the task is to rein in your spending and invest in what matters. Outdated financial milestones and mindsets are stripped away under this influence as you learn to trust your own values.
