Overview for this Month: Aquarius (All)
May 2025 Monthly Horoscope Overview for Aquarius:
Mars charges through your partnership sector, bringing relationships and interactions with others to life in May, dear Aquarius. You’re also paying due attention to your domestic world, perhaps feeling prouder of your personal life, or you’re recognizing the need to center and anchor yourself. Communications are more straightforward, and you’re connecting well with others and your personal interests this month.
Where there were delays or extended periods of limbo recently, blocks lift in May. Slowdowns for you primarily revolved around communications, transportation, love, and money. May is vibrant, and while it promises some ups and downs, energy flows more smoothly. Financial gain could come from communications or siblings, and so can love opportunities.
Still, Pluto turns retrograde in your sign on May 4th, and this retrograde cycle will last until October. As the shift occurs now, there can be some magnification of unresolved matters, fears, or compulsions. However, once you get beyond this change of direction, the months-long retrograde cycle is excellent for detaching yourself from these things enough to see where you may have been overly worried or obsessing. You’re in a fine position to review and reassess your approach to self-starts, new beginnings, career matters, and responsibilities. If you’ve been over-controlling, you recognize this now and want to take some of the pressure off.
You are in a strong position to improve — and enjoy — your home life and family relationships this month. A fair part of you needs to recoup, regenerate, and decompress this month. However, you begin to crave special attention, fun and games, romance, or hobbies and recreation as May advances. You want to shine!
Around the Full Moon on the 12th is an eye-opening period. You can make some exciting discoveries, but you’re also likely to be called to action if you’ve been too heavily engrossed in your personal life. The Full (Flower) Moon occurring at the top of your solar chart plays a big role in this — you may be called to task, or simply required to fill a responsibility or take the lead now. It may be a time of a promotion, culmination, or the turning point of a project, recognition, a new title, status change, or award.
Renovations, redecorating, and making improvements that allow more freedom as well as organization and comfort on the home front can have long-lasting results. A lot is going on on the inside again this month.
There can be a competitive feel to your partnerships as Mars moves in opposition to your sign all month, and you may be putting more energy into your relationships than usual. Watch for a tendency to instigate or rile up a significant other or to treat a partner as a rival. There can be a tendency for you or a partner to be touchy or for arguments to emerge seemingly out of nowhere. You’re at your best when you work with someone towards a common goal. Perhaps the ideal way to use this energy to your advantage is to allow others to inspire and motivate you. Team up and take action so that excess energy turns outwards. This can be a passionate, revealing time.
Helping you out is Venus in harmony with your sign all month. This position does wonders for your personal appeal. Relationships are smoother as you put more effort into communication or better structure your personal interests to accommodate other pursuits and connections. It can be a good time to humble yourself to the need for improved connections and communication, which helps you in many different life departments. Your words can get you closer to others, at least in spirit. Collaboration can be excellent, and sharing a piece of work, joining a workshop, furthering a cause, or communicating with a new friend can be in happy focus.
From the 20th forward, there is a growing focus on entertainment, romance, and creative self-expression. You’re likely to end the month far more outgoing and confident than you began it. The New Moon on the 26th is an energizing, empowering one as it brings a feeling of rejuvenation or a fresh start with enjoying and expressing yourself.
The last few days of the month are good for gaining some clarity about creative projects, a relationship, or a hobby. You’re taking more pride in your work, ideas, and beliefs. Creative projects could reach a turning point, or there can be a romantic revelation related to a matter that has been developing for some time. An honest, open vibe, especially in your love relationships, is also satisfying.

Aquarius (Born January 21 to 30) and Aquarius Ascendant 0 to 10 degrees Aquarius:
May 2025 Aquarius Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
May 2025
The Sun this Month: Central Focus, Consciousness
Until May 20th:
The Sun continues to put a spotlight on your solar fourth house. This is a period of recharge, of getting in touch with your innermost feelings, of connecting with your roots, and of spending more time and energy on home and family. Home and family matters capture your attention and are a strong source of pride now. It’s a time when worldly matters are not as important to you.
Use this energy to find ways to improve your family relations and your home environment. During this heart-warming cycle, you would do best to allow yourself to explore your inner needs so that you can nurture yourself and others in a healthy, growth-oriented manner, in preparation for more outgoing times to come.
From May 20th forward:
The Sun illuminates your solar fifth house now. After a period of “nesting”, you are coming out of your shell, ready to perform and to express yourself creatively. This is a very playful period of the year, when you are inspired creatively and emotionally. After a period of self-protectiveness, you are now more spontaneous and more willing to take risks. You take more pride than usual in your creations, your love affairs, your children, and your hobbies. Pleasure and amusement play an important role in your search for freedom of self-expression now. Show off your best colors!
You want others to take notice, and you are more sensitive to whether people appreciate you. More than any time of the year, this is the cycle in which you focus on having fun, enjoying romance, and expressing yourself creatively. Your hobbies, leisure time, moments spent with children, gaming time, and so forth, all come into focus at this time of year.
This is a cycle in which you find joy in expressing who you are–when your “inner child” comes out to play. This is a time when you are more flirtatious than usual, and when you might take a few risks in life–not only gambling with games but with life itself. You might be a bit of a showman at this time. You are likely feeling good in general, and you tend to spread the joy.
Venus this Month: Love, Romance, Social Life, Comfort, Pleasure
This month:
Venus continues to play in your solar third house during this period, indicating a more light-hearted, curious, and intellectual approach to love and pleasure, as well as a more easygoing communicative style.
During this cycle, you are especially charming in your communications. Your words are soothing, and you tend to use words to smooth over problems that you see around you. You are mostly cheerful in your approach to others, and perhaps somewhat intellectual.
Essentially, you are quite companionable during this cycle. You enjoy talking about what interests you, and you see value in the exchange of ideas. Sometimes this transit brings benefit through siblings, communications, or short trips. Good companionship is as equally important as romance to you during this cycle.
You prefer an intellectual, communicative, and witty partner just now, and your powers of attraction increase through expressing these types of qualities. You are most attracted to wit, cheerfulness, and verbal rapport, and you are especially good at mediating conflicts now. If you were to begin a romance or friendship during this cycle, it would likely be quite light-hearted.
Mercury this Month: Communications, Learning, Connections, Transportation
Until May 10th:
Mercury continues to move through your solar third house. Mercury feels right at home in the third house. Your mind is especially inquisitive during this cycle, when learning, short trips, and other forms of communication and making connections, appeal strongly. Some are fidgety or nervous during this cycle, perhaps due to increased errand-running, phone calls, or information overload. Others enjoy the challenge of tackling a variety of subjects.
As well, talking, writing, and studying can be good ways to handle stress. It’s a great time to pick up information from your environment and the people in it. Your mind is often distracted, particularly when required to stick to routine, so this is not the best transit for focusing on one task or project. You might spend a lot of time in your car making short frequent trips, running errands, communicating with siblings and neighbors, and visiting friends and relatives.
From May 10th to 25th:
Mercury moves through your solar fourth house. This is a time during which you can enjoy increased powers of concentration. You may require solitude in order to get mental work done during this cycle. Your memory is more retentive than usual, and your thoughts often turn to personal matters, family, and loved ones. You might particularly enjoy discussions about your early life, the past, or family matters during this cycle. In fact, it’s a great time to open up conversations with loved ones, as you are more rational when it comes to personal matters now.
Your mind often wanders to domestic concerns, and issues surrounding your home, family, and personal past. On the other hand, this transit sometimes indicates an especially busy, and perhaps hectic, period on the domestic scene. For example, you might take home work or find that people drop by your home often during this cycle.
From May 25th forward:
Mercury transits your solar fifth house. During this cycle, there is a powerful mental connection with your creative self-expression. You are proud of your ideas, and very good at expressing them to others smoothly now. Your thinking is more creative than usual. You tend to entertain others with your conversation; and your sense of humor (and of mischief!) is especially strong.
Your thoughts turn to children, pleasures, or romance during this expressive cycle. You might enjoy researching speculative ventures now. You especially enjoy games that involve competing with others on a mental level. You have a stronger need than usual for intellectual stimulation. Therefore, your friends and romantic partner are best appreciated now if they are intellectual types. You’re more willing to take risks on a mental level now, so take advantage of the increased spontaneity and creativity that comes with this position.
Mars this Month: Energy, Drive, Courage
All month:
Mars continues to move through your solar seventh house. During this period, strife is possible in your close personal relationships, as a significant other is now mirroring some of your own issues with assertiveness and anger. Attracting aggression in others during this cycle is a clue that there are unresolved issues within that need tending. You might actually seek some form of conflict, whether intentionally or not, in order to deal with these issues. There can be competitiveness in your life now. Any troublesome issues that have been dormant in a relationship are likely to surface, and can now be handled straightforwardly.

Aquarius (Born January 31 to February 9) AND Aquarius Ascendant from 10 to 20 degrees Aquarius:
May 2025 Aquarius Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
May 2025
The Sun this Month: Central Focus, Consciousness
All month:
With the Sun spotlighting your house of family and home, these areas are your instinctive focus during this period. Your family, home, property concerns, roots, and heritage come into focus and become a source of pride. You are likely quite preoccupied with feelings of security and your inner experiences. This is a time when you send down roots and seek a feeling of belonging. You could be thrust into a position of leadership on the home front.
Ego confrontations with family members are possible now, but the best way to handle this energy is to do your best to strengthen your relationship with your family and your home base. This is a time to do what you can to build trust in your family life and a strong foundation within yourself so that regardless of what you meet in the outside world over the next months, you have a secure place to return to. Besides spending more time tending to domestic affairs, the focus can be on cultivating and nourishing the inner foundations that support you and your growth. This is a time to collect yourself–to fill your well, so to speak.
Venus this Month: Love, Romance, Social Life, Comfort, Pleasure
Until the 14th:
Venus continues to grace your solar second house during this period. You might receive gifts or bonuses now, or you find much comfort in what you already own and have. You may be a little extravagant with money for the time being, as your desire for luxury and comfort items is increased now, and this is something to watch for. When it comes to love, you value those who make you feel comfortable and secure.
From May 15th forward:
With Venus moving through your solar third house during this period, you are mostly cheerful in your approach to others, and perhaps somewhat intellectual, during this transit. Essentially, you are quite companionable now. You enjoy talking about what interests you, and you find great value in the exchange of ideas. Sometimes this transit brings benefit through siblings, communications, or short trips. During this period, you are most attracted to wit, cheerfulness, and verbal rapport. You are especially good at mediating conflicts. Smoothing over differences using your diplomacy skills figures now.

Mars this Month: Energy, Drive, Courage
Until May 9th:
Mars continues to animate and energize your solar sixth house. Energy and initiative for work, health, and other daily activities increase. You are self-motivated when it comes to these matters. If there are disagreements and disputes that erupt on the job now, they may be due to a feeling of stress or impatience, or they could come from your desire to get things done independently. It’s best to apply energy productively to completing projects that are unfinished or even to get ahead of yourself. It’s a strong period for feeling motivated for starting a new health or fitness routine.
From May 10th forward:
Mars energizes and animates your solar seventh house. Partnerships may suffer from ego conflicts, or opposition from others may be challenging. Use the extra energy that Mars brings to this sector of your chart to work cooperatively on relationship problems. You may even find that you seem to need someone’s help in order to do what you want to do during this cycle. Relationships are vivacious and dynamic during this period. When a difference arises, you are quick to settle it, and have little patience for sweeping matters under the rug. Your close personal relationships are lively during this cycle–full of conflicts and resolutions or reconciliations.

Aquarius (Born February 10-19) and Aquarius Ascendant from 20 to 30 degrees Aquarius:
May 2025 Aquarius Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
May 2025
The Sun this Month: Central Focus, Consciousness
Until May 10th:
The Sun continues to highlight your solar third house–a time of the year in which you are most likely to be a “busy bee”. Communications, short trips, errand-running, and general busy-ness feature now. You could have a finger in many pies, so to speak, as your curiosity is piqued by a larger variety of things than usual. Used well, this could be a period in which you come up with solutions to a number of problems. You are more inclined to take pride in your intellectual accomplishments and/or your ability to socialize and make connections.
From May 10th forward:
With the Sun spotlighting your house of family and home, these areas are your instinctive focus during this period. Your family, home, property concerns, roots, and heritage come into focus and become a source of pride. You are likely quite preoccupied with feelings of security and your inner experiences.

You may be a little extravagant with money for the time being, as your desire for luxury and comfort items is increased now, and this is something to watch for.

You are especially good at mediating conflicts. Smoothing over differences using your diplomacy skills figures now.
Mercury this Month: Communications, Learning, Connections, Transportation
Until the 3rd:
Mercury continues to transit your solar second house. You might play with various ways to increase personal funds, resulting in more than one avenue for monetary gain. Avoid letting undue pressure from others push you into signing important papers that may create a serious financial commitment. Shopping when experiencing nervous tension should also be avoided. Your mind is always active with new ideas for an increase of income during this cycle. Brothers or sisters, or communications, may be a source of financial or material gain or loss now.
From the 4th to the 21st:
Mercury is right at home in the third house and offers a natural curiosity, facility with words, and the ability to multi-task successfully. More time spent on the phone, writing emails, in the car making short frequent trips, chatting, running errands, communicating with neighbors and siblings, visiting friends and relatives, and doing paperwork is likely now. There can also be a tendency to fuss over insignificant matters now, however.
Also, “information overload” is also a possibility. This may be a busy time with neighbors, classmates, siblings, and community affairs. Your interests are especially varied now and perhaps scattered. It’s an ideal time to pick up information from your environment and the people in it, as your tendency is toward a certain level of intellectual detachment just now. Your mind is often distracted, particularly when circumstances call for you to stick to the routine, so this is not the best transit for focusing on one task or project.
Your mind is especially inquisitive during this cycle, when learning, short trips, and other forms of communication and making connections, appeal strongly. Some are fidgety or nervous during this cycle, perhaps due to increased errand-running, phone calls, and the like. Others enjoy the challenge of tackling a variety of subjects. As well, talking, writing, and studying can be good ways to handle stress.

It’s a strong period for feeling motivated for starting a new health or fitness routine.
From May 30th forward:
Mars energizes and animates your solar seventh house. Partnerships may suffer from ego conflicts, or opposition from others may be challenging. Use the extra energy that Mars brings to this sector of your chart to work cooperatively on relationship problems. You may even find that you seem to need someone’s help in order to do what you want to do during this cycle. Relationships are vivacious and dynamic during this period.

Communications are more straightforward, and you’re connecting well with others and your personal interests this month.
Where there were delays or extended periods of limbo recently, blocks lift in May. Slowdowns for you primarily revolved around communications, transportation, love, and money. May is vibrant, and while it promises some ups and downs, energy flows more smoothly. Financial gain could come from communications or siblings, and so can love opportunities.
Still, Pluto turns retrograde in your sign on May 4th, and this retrograde cycle will last until October. As the shift occurs now, there can be some magnification of unresolved matters, fears, or compulsions. However, once you get beyond this change of direction, the months-long retrograde cycle is excellent for detaching yourself from these things enough to see where you may have been overly worried or obsessing. You’re in a fine position to review and reassess your approach to self-starts, new beginnings, career matters, and responsibilities. If you’ve been over-controlling, you recognize this now and want to take some of the pressure off.
You are in a strong position to improve — and enjoy — your home life and family relationships this month. A fair part of you needs to recoup, regenerate, and decompress this month. However, you begin to crave special attention, fun and games, romance, or hobbies and recreation as May advances. You want to shine!
Around the Full Moon on the 12th is an eye-opening period. You can make some exciting discoveries, but you’re also likely to be called to action if you’ve been too heavily engrossed in your personal life. The Full (Flower) Moon occurring at the top of your solar chart plays a big role in this — you may be called to task, or simply required to fill a responsibility or take the lead now. It may be a time of a promotion, culmination, or the turning point of a project, recognition, a new title, status change, or award.
Renovations, redecorating, and making improvements that allow more freedom as well as organization and comfort on the home front can have long-lasting results. A lot is going on on the inside again this month.
There can be a competitive feel to your partnerships as Mars moves in opposition to your sign all month, and you may be putting more energy into your relationships than usual. Watch for a tendency to instigate or rile up a significant other or to treat a partner as a rival. There can be a tendency for you or a partner to be touchy or for arguments to emerge seemingly out of nowhere. You’re at your best when you work with someone towards a common goal. Perhaps the ideal way to use this energy to your advantage is to allow others to inspire and motivate you. Team up and take action so that excess energy turns outwards. This can be a passionate, revealing time.
Helping you out is Venus in harmony with your sign all month. This position does wonders for your personal appeal. Relationships are smoother as you put more effort into communication or better structure your personal interests to accommodate other pursuits and connections. It can be a good time to humble yourself to the need for improved connections and communication, which helps you in many different life departments. Your words can get you closer to others, at least in spirit. Collaboration can be excellent, and sharing a piece of work, joining a workshop, furthering a cause, or communicating with a new friend can be in happy focus.
From the 20th forward, there is a growing focus on entertainment, romance, and creative self-expression. You’re likely to end the month far more outgoing and confident than you began it. The New Moon on the 26th is an energizing, empowering one as it brings a feeling of rejuvenation or a fresh start with enjoying and expressing yourself.
The last few days of the month are good for gaining some clarity about creative projects, a relationship, or a hobby. You’re taking more pride in your work, ideas, and beliefs. Creative projects could reach a turning point, or there can be a romantic revelation related to a matter that has been developing for some time. An honest, open vibe, especially in your love relationships, is also satisfying.

About Our Monthly Horoscopes:
Our detailed monthly horoscopes are designed to reveal and interpret the current transits of the Sun, Mercury, Venus, and Mars in your solar chart.
Because these energies or transits do not unfold neatly into any given calendar month (many transits carry forward from one month to the next), you will find some of the energies continue from the previous month.
For example, the Sun might transit the seventh house of your solar chart from July 22 to August 22, so that you will find a similar interpretation for this transit in both July and August’s horoscope. This is normal and expected. While new months can hold new energy, transits don’t abruptly change because the calendar month changes.
These monthly horoscopes also include an overview paragraph, as well as other energies specific to the month, such as retrogrades, eclipses, or major outer planet transits.
The Highlights section reveals lunar cycle dates. Lunar cycles repeat themselves approximately every 28 days, so it is normal to see the same lunar peaks, such as “Your Personal New Moon” and “Monthly career peak” repeat themselves from month to month, but with different dates. They serve as a helpful guide to cycle peaks in different areas of life, such as financial, career, romance, and partnership.
The horoscopes are divided into three groups or decanates, and the differences between the groups are subtle in parts and large in other parts. For those who prefer a whole sign approach to horoscopes (classic), simply read the first decanate regardless of your birthdate.
