May Horoscopes 2025

STAR IF THE MONTH

TAURUS

21 APRIL – 20 MAY

Relax early in the month, then pick up the pace. In a key partnership around the Full Moon, zingy developments keep you sharp but also deeply rooted, like an abandoned rose plant. What was once discombobulating is now old hat, and you take it all in your stride. Put your thinking cap on mid-month and brainstorm ways to push yourself just that little bit further. The New Moon renews your focus on money and sparks up your financial ambitions. Consider strategies and potential power moves in your professional life that will reinvigorate and diversify your earning potential.

GEMINI

21 MAY – 21 JUNE

It’s no longer just a misplaced word poised on the tip of your tongue. Ready yourself for changes to how you live your life, in ways both profound and subtle. The smell of rain is in the air, yet the skies are perfectly clear. Trust these uncanny messages as they prepare you for the adventures ahead. Your annual New Moon asks you to consider what you are most curious about and to set goals to expand your mind (study!), your horizons (travel!), or consciousness (spirituality!). Entertain all possible options as you will entertain all the revellers at your upcoming birthday celebrations.

CANCER

22 JUNE – 22 JULY

You are as interesting as the friends you keep, so mix some pleasure in with your professional aspirations and enjoy the weird and wonderful interactions. May’s Full Moon is the perfect time to dust off your art materials and/or sports gear as you get the urge to have some fun. Rope in a few of your zany friends. As a child of the Moon, you tend to lie low at most New Moons, but you aren’t simply hiding away this month. It looks like you are up to something secret! Hatch your genius plan, Cancer; I won’t disturb your private scheming.

LEO

23 JULY – 22 AUGUST

Early in the month, you pull back on the energy you’ve expended on democratising power in a key partnership, preferring to take the spiritual high road. The mid-month Full Moon reveals who is truly on your team, which helps you feel more sure-footed going forward. Identifying erratic and unreliable influences at work helps you set psychic boundaries and protect your inner peace. Your social life gets a visceral reboot at the New Moon. There’s potential for meeting new people, getting involved in new groups, and being exposed to new ideas. Follow your bliss.

VIRGO

23 AUGUST – 22 SEPTEMBER

You have a way with words and know that sometimes silence speaks volumes. Nature abhors this noise vacuum, so a surprising secret rushes into the void around the Full Moon. Don’t be a purist; it’s OK to seek the advice of your own confidant if you need a second opinion. (Ideally, this person will also be a Virgo.) A fresh career arc begins for you around the New Moon. You could even end up with a three-letter acronym title, if you’re keen. It does have the potential to be mentally intense, so maintaining work-life balance from the get-go is important.

LIBRA

23 SEPTEMBER – 22 OCTOBER

Focus on the restoration of peace in your relationship realm as May begins. Turning off the alarm and sleeping in helps your dreams merge with reality. Be ready to pounce on a bargain around the Full Moon, especially if you’ve been frugally saving while waiting for a coveted item to be on sale. You have an insatiable thirst for knowledge and adventure, and may struggle with business-as-usual under the New Moon. You can try picking up a book or a new hobby to break from your routine, but many Librans will be contemplating far-reaching lifestyle changes.

SCORPIO

23 OCTOBER – 21 NOVEMBER

Surprise your other half with a Full Moon plot twist on one of your cosy routines. Towards the end of the month, it will be like you are one brain in two bodies. Take advantage of these clear communication conditions and talk through any tricky topics. Of all the signs, you tend to have the lightest relationship with the darkness, accepting that it is part and parcel of the human experience. The planets support breakthrough moments that lead to exciting futures. Intense rumination around the New Moon will take you to new depths of understanding.

SAGITTARIUS

22 NOVEMBER–21 DECEMBER

Schedule some private time to tune into your untamed animal self. Howling at the Full Moon is optional but encouraged. Once back in your body, you will instinctively know which direction you need to head; it’s likely to be somewhere you haven’t been before. The call of the wild – and the New Moon in your partnership sector – promises renegotiations with your current lover or bold new intentions being set for your relationship future. Factor mental compatibility and friendship into your equations. Tap into your natural spirit of optimism and adventure, and you can’t go wrong.

CAPRICORN

22 DECEMBER – 19 JANUARY

Raise your glass, Capricorn, as you farewell one era and toast to your future success. Everything is about to change from the ground up, so stay focused on the fundamentals and ensure your next strategic moves begin on firm foundations. This could be your physical home, or those you consider family. Take good care of your physical self to ensure you get the right amount of stimulation and variety each day. Routine clearing of mental clutter is essential to your ongoing good health, and the New Moon is a great time to upgrade your daily habits.

AQUARIUS

20 JANUARY – 18 FEBRUARY

You almost seem to be glowing with condensed self-awareness and may short-circuit sensitive appliances as you pass. Lower lifeforms could also glitch in proximity to your radiance. You know your stuff and, with the Full Moon in your visibility sector, now’s the time to remind colleagues and competitors of your intellectual commitment and obsessive brilliance. Creative ideas twinkle to life under the pregnant darkness of the New Moon. You are drawn to novel and generative approaches to romance, pleasure, and recreation, axe-throwing? Stand-up comedy? Babysitting? Do something that terrifies and tests you.

PISCES

19 FEBRUARY – 20 MARCH

Your abandoned carts, wish lists, and wanderlust are officially heaving in the first half of May. The Full Moon helpfully points out that a few (more!) sacrifices need to be made to visit your dreamiest destinations. You are nearly ready to commit to a thrifty new financial regime. A pretty vision board could help. Thankfully, your inner life is rich and a free source of stimulation. The New Moon indicates that you will have your best thoughts either in private or amongst family. Jot it all down as it’s perfect material for your future memoir.

ARIES

21 MARCH – 20 APRIL

The love planet, Venus, is back in your sign, sprinkling you with (biodegradable) glitter and cosmic good luck. Believe in yourself – without succumbing to utter delusion. A money matter teeters on the brink of change. Hold your nerve and keep at least one toe on the ground. Thought and conversation take an intense new direction at the New Moon at the end of May. You are hungry for information and willing to boldly dive down many a rabbit hole in your pursuit of the truth. Stay mindful of power imbalances and make space for others to be heard.
