May 2025 offers an exciting opportunity to deepen your relationships, release financial stress, and start exploring fresh new ideas, Libra Rising. This month lights up key parts of your chart: your 7th house of partnerships, your 8th house of shared resources and transformation, and your 9th house of learning, beliefs, and expansion. You’re being called to balance intimacy with independence, security with curiosity, and trust with truth.
You’ll likely feel both emotionally tender and mentally sharp this month—a rare combination that makes space for healing and clarity at the same time. Let’s dive into what the stars are whispering your way.
Early May: Soulful Love & Partnership Reflection
We begin May with a beautifully romantic—and possibly confusing—energy as Venus conjoins Neptune on May 2nd in Aries, your 7th house of partnerships. If you’re in a relationship, you might feel deeply connected, perhaps even swept off your feet. There’s magic in the air, but also potential for misreading situations, especially if you’re idealising someone or ignoring red flags. If you’re single, this could spark a dreamy new connection or reignite hope for love. Either way, it’s a lovely time to open your heart, just stay grounded.
On May 4th, Pluto stations retrograde in Aquarius, your 5th house of pleasure, romance, creativity, and children. You’re beginning a longer review of how you experience joy, self-expression, and romantic passion. Are you clinging to outdated stories around love or creativity? Pluto’s retrograde here encourages you to dig deep and transform how you seek happiness—without guilt, shame, or fear.
May 7th brings a powerful and emotional Mercury-Chiron conjunction, also in Aries and your 7th house. This may be a moment of deep healing in a close relationship. A conversation with a partner—or even with yourself—can bring old relationship wounds to light in order to release them. If there’s been misunderstanding, fear of rejection, or emotional baggage you’ve been carrying, this is a day where gentle honesty can help clear the air.
Mid-May: Finances, Intimacy & Trust
The mood shifts on May 10th when Mercury enters Taurus, activating your 8th house of shared resources, intimacy, and emotional depth. This is the part of your chart that deals with trust—financially and emotionally. You may find yourself talking about money matters, settling debts, working on budgets, or diving into emotionally rich territory with someone close. It’s a great time for therapy, introspection, or getting real about what you’re truly investing in.
May 12th brings a Full Moon in Scorpio in your 2nd house of personal income, values, and self-worth. This lunation shines a light on what you need to feel secure—financially and emotionally. You might reach a turning point around your income or come face-to-face with what you truly value. This Moon can be intense, especially if you’ve been holding onto possessions or beliefs that no longer reflect your self-worth. Let go of the old stories—you’re building something more aligned.
Then comes a spark: on May 17th, the Sun conjoins Uranus in Taurus, also in your 8th house. This transit brings a flash of insight, a surprising twist in a financial matter, or even a radical emotional breakthrough. This could come through a partner, a loan, an inheritance—or even just a moment where you realise what needs to change in order to feel more empowered and free. Keep an open mind. Sometimes the best shifts come when you least expect them.
Late May: New Horizons & Big Ideas
Everything starts to lift and expand from May 20th, when the Sun enters Gemini, lighting up your 9th house of travel, higher learning, publishing, and spiritual beliefs. The energy here is light, curious, and optimistic. You’re craving growth, new experiences, and mental stimulation. This is a fantastic time to sign up for a course, book a trip, or start writing that book you’ve had in your head forever. You’re stepping out of emotional intensity and into big-picture thinking.
On May 24th, Mercury meets Uranus in Taurus once more, and with it could come unexpected news about shared finances, or even a shocking (but needed) emotional insight. The 8th house doesn’t play around—this could be a deep conversation or a sudden wake-up call about what needs to shift in a relationship or financial arrangement. Take a breath before reacting. What feels disruptive now may prove liberating later.
Then, on May 25th, Saturn enters Aries, joining your 7th house of committed partnerships. This is a major energetic shift that will play out over the next couple of years. Saturn here invites you to take a serious look at your relationships—romantic, business, and otherwise. What are you truly committing to? Where do your partnerships need structure, boundaries, or maturity? This isn’t about punishing anyone—it’s about building solid foundations for love, respect, and long-term connection.
On May 26th, Mercury enters Gemini, joining the Sun in your 9th house and adding extra energy to your desire to learn, connect, and explore. Your mind is sharp, your curiosity is lit up, and your communication skills are on fire. This is a great time for writing, teaching, networking, or applying to something bold and exciting—especially if it takes you beyond your usual mental or physical borders.
May 27th: A New Path Unfolds
The New Moon in Gemini on May 27th is your cosmic green light to plant new seeds in your 9th house of expansion, purpose, and discovery. This is a fantastic moment to start a new course of study, plan international travel, apply to school, or simply shift your mindset toward possibility. If you’ve been feeling stuck in a belief or life philosophy, this New Moon is your invitation to break free and chase a bigger dream.
May ends on a high note with a Sun-Mercury conjunction on May 30th, also in your 9th house. This can bring a clear, inspiring message—a lightbulb moment about your future, a conversation that shifts your outlook, or even a publishing opportunity or learning breakthrough. Trust what arrives now. The clarity you’ve been seeking is coming into focus.
