Your daily horoscopes for Saturday May 17, 2025
Aries (March 21-April 19) daily horoscope for Saturday May 17
Boost your bottom line by innovating! Saturday’s Sun-Uranus mashup helps you improve your fiscal fitness. However, that means actually sitting down and crunching a few numbers. This may not be your favorite activity, but burying your head in the sand will not balance your books. Start by getting real about your status and then play “bad cop” with yourself about where you could tighten your belt. In addition to trimming expenses, think about how you can rake in extra revenue through a side hustle or freelance work. Your already diminutive fuse may be shorter than usual on Sunday, thanks to a cosmic showdown between impulsive Mercury and combustible Mars. It’ll be easy to jump to (wrong) conclusions, so make a point of getting all the facts and giving everyone a chance to defend their positions. Under this truth-twisting square, don’t take anything at face value, especially when it comes to romance. In the game of love, you might have to bend the rules a little to get what you want.
Taurus (April 20-May 20) daily horoscope for Saturday May 17
You say you want a revolution? Your request might be granted on Saturday, Bull—but be careful what you wish for! The winds of change are at gale-force levels as the Sun and unpredictable Uranus hold their annual summit in Taurus and your first house of identity. You’re not one to deny your own needs on a regular basis, but what have you been keeping at a simmer on the back burner? That’s the thing to turn the heat up on. Don’t be afraid to be a little outrageous. You could create something truly iconic! Sunday might just be “one of those days,” thanks to an uneasy skirmish between outspoken Mercury in your sign and pugnacious Mars. You don’t get scrappy or defensive all that often, Taurus, but when you do, look out world! Things could be going just fine when you suddenly get the urge to let loose an emotional tirade. But unless you’re prepared to potentially lose a friend—or a client—hold your fire. These rebel winds WILL blow over, possibly by tomorrow, but once you let something rip, you can’t unsay it. Vent to your journal instead.
Gemini (May 21-June 20) daily horoscope for Saturday May 17
Today marks a rare and potent cosmic concord, but it’s up to you to take advantage of it. The confident Sun meets up with radical Uranus in Taurus and your twelfth house of the unconscious and healing. If you’re ready to face an old wound or negative behavior pattern, the stars offer you extra incentive to unpack them. Make sure you have lots of support around you since these kinds of issues are like unexpected triggers and Achilles heels rolled into one! Pay attention to your dreams: Psychic messages could come through. On Sunday, you may struggle to keep a secret, thanks to a lip-loosening clash involving mouthy Mercury and impulsive Mars. It’s not unusual for you to be dialed into the tea, but this cosmic confab could make you especially indiscreet when it comes to spilling it. There’s a thin line between “sharing about friends” and out-and-out gossiping. So unless you’re willing to risk fraying an important bond, button your lips for safety.
Cancer (June 21-July 22) daily horoscope for Saturday May 17
This Saturday, you’ll take social networking to a whole new level as the bold Sun makes its annual meetup with free-spirited Uranus in Taurus and your eleventh house of group activity. Uranus is the planet of humanity, innovation and technology and that means the miles between you and your friends do not have to stand in the way of a lively gathering. Fire up the webcams and bring your favorite people together on-screen for a watch party or Zoom crafting night. Or hop on a standby flight and go see them if you’re feeling extra spontaneous! On Sunday, communicate with caution: With boundless Mercury in your groups zone, you’re still in the mood for an epic meetup with your besties. But thanks to a tangled angle with bossy Mars, it might be impossible to get everyone on the same page. This one wants a quiet afternoon. That one has a hangover and can’t make the earlier brunch time. And on and on! Rather than waste your energy trying to herd cats, make a flexible plan, let people know what’s going on and don’t worry about who shows up.
Leo (July 23-August 22) daily horoscope for Saturday May 17
Energy around your goals peaks for you today as the luminous Sun forms its annual alliance with transformational Uranus in Taurus, your tenth house of career ambition and success. With side-spinning Uranus in the picture, innovative ideas flow in a mile a minute. Explore ways you can use technology to boost your income or level up the job you do. But look out for anything that is exciting but destabilizing. The last thing you need right now is to add extra chaos to your life. You may have to swallow a little pride Sunday, Leo—but it’s in your own best interest. A clash between aggressive Mars in your sign and unbridled Mercury in your career zone could lead you to say something that you will surely live to regret. When you feel your blood pressure rising, call a timeout and do some slow deep breathing to center yourself. Then come back to the situation and respond without being defensive. That way you won’t provoke anyone else with a hair-trigger temper!

Virgo (August 23-September 22) daily horoscope for Saturday May 17
This Saturday, the energizing Sun forms its annual alignment with unbridled Uranus in Taurus and your ninth house of expansion and adventure. Being cautious is one thing, Virgo, but are you limiting yourself in the process? Your mind will be wide open when it comes to anything new, so allow yourself to think beyond what’s known and familiar. (Comfort zone, what’s that?) You might even check out a new metaphysical branch or do a ritual. Don’t stress about the “obligations.” The point is to sample and explore, not to sign up for a lifetime membership…at least not today On Sunday, don’t be too quick to accept brilliant-sounding (but radical) ideas as gospel truth. Your analytical sign loves to explore different ideologies and is attracted to thought leaders. But a tangled angle between impulsive Mars and passionate Mercury could cause you to drink the Kool-Aid before you’ve determined whether it’s toxic (or addictive). There’s nothing wrong with immersing yourself in some new beliefs—just keep a healthy skepticism so you don’t get pulled into a self-improvement riptide.
Libra (September 23-October 22) daily horoscope for Saturday May 17
Your love life swerves into highly seductive terrain this Saturday as the radiant Sun hooks up with revolutionary Uranus in Taurus and your eighth house of intimacy and eroticism. Couples can take a deeper dive into uncharted waters during this transit. As long as you’re both cool with the exploration, there’s no reason NOT to go there. Single Libras should widen their search parameters and stay open to chatting with people from different area codes. You might have a romantic journey to book sooner than expected. Keep your wits about you this Sunday, especially online. It’s easy to fall down the digital rabbit hole, but when’s the last time you looked over your social media presence with a critical eye? You’ve got a perfect opportunity on Sunday, as motivated Mars in your tech sector connects with clever, media-savvy Mercury. Audit your feeds. In the flush of excitement, you may have posted some things that are better NOT being universally accessible or photos that felt appropriate on two-for-one margarita night (but in the bright light of day feel all wrong). Find an hour or two Sunday to clean up and clear out!
Scorpio (October 23-November 21) daily horoscope for Saturday May 17
Relationship reinvention time? Someone you consider a partner—a lover, colleague or creative collaborator—may catch you off-guard with an idea this Saturday. It’s “one of those days” as the Sun slams into capricious Uranus in Taurus and activates your seventh house of one-on-one relationships. This person may have gotten some big news themselves that involves you. Or, this cosmic convergence behaves, your S.O. might have a surprise romantic candlelit dinner prepared with a very special bottle waiting to be uncorked. Even if the events of the day are unnerving at first, sit tight. There’s sure to be a silver lining! On Sunday, you could find yourself locked into a minor power struggle. Who’s the boss? Well, you THOUGHT you were. But apparently there’s a mutiny forming in the ranks. It’s not every day that people question your authority, but that can happen when swaggering Mercury forms a challenging square to intrepid Mars in your leadership zone. Perhaps you grabbed the reins on a project a little too aggressively? You may have to step back for the day and let someone else take the helm. Just don’t abandon ship altogether!
Sagittarius (November 22-December 21) daily horoscope for Saturday May 17
Swap out your third latte for a calming herbal tea this Saturday. You’ve got a lot on your plate and could be feeling anxious. Ease those jitters and get out in nature to ground yourself. As the energizing Sun is entangles with frenetic Uranus in your sixth house of details and wellbeing, you could get overwhelmed by the complexity of a project. This might heap on more stress than usual and prompt you to do something without fully thinking it through. The opportunity? Come up with a system to manage this project—and delegate to a savvy crew instead of trying to DIY the whole thing. Steer clear of soapboxes Sunday, Sagittarius. It might be tempting to climb up on one, with outspoken Mars in your preachy ninth house squaring mouthy Mercury in didactic Taurus. But this is the kind of day when your well-intentioned words could come across as irritating—or worse, holier than thou. Save your pearls of wisdom for another time, like when people actually request your input. For now, turn that all-knowing attitude to a messy area of your own life that could stand a little improvement.

Capricorn (December 22-January 19) daily horoscope for Saturday May 17
Passion alert! This Saturday, the life-giving Sun syncs up with transformational Uranus in Taurus and your lusty, expressive fifth house. Single? You could meet someone whose conversational skills match their thirst-inducing photos. Even if this doesn’t turn into a keeper relationship, it can open jammed floodgates! Already found your special someone? Keep yourselves engaged with a creative project, whether you’re building raised beds for a vegetable garden or trying out some new moves on your pillow-top mattress. On Sunday, stay grounded in your values, no matter how low other people descend. It may not be easy—and you might need to give yourself repeated pep talks—but it WILL be worth it in the long run. Pugnacious Mars is clashing with know-it-all Mercury in two very passionate parts of your chart. Even if someone else “started it,” no one says you have to finish it, especially when doing so could burn some strategic bridges. If someone you care about goes on the attack, do both of you a favor and refuse to engage.

Aquarius (January 20-February 18) daily horoscope for Saturday May 17
You’re ready and able to make some big changes in your personal life this Saturday, as the Sun and emancipated Uranus align in your fourth house of home and family. Has an energy vampire infiltrated your inner circle? Examine your own codependent role in the relationship, then phase this person out for good. If it’s a family member you can’t just vanish on, set some new boundaries. They may not like it, but if you can give them a reasonable explanation, they’ll have to respect it. As the weekend wears on, you could find yourself wondering: Should you stay or should you go? Not an easy decision to make—and Sunday’s conflicting stars will only make it tougher. Thanks to a clash between analytical Mercury and independent Mars in your relationship houses, you could get snagged on the horns of a very emotional dilemma. On the one hand, you’d love to make this work. But if you’re being brutally truthful with yourself, you know you’ve been expecting this for a while. It’s time to face it straight-on. But don’t give up hope! There might be a workable compromise.
Pisces (February 19-March 20) daily horoscope for Saturday May 17
Pure genius! This Saturday, the Sun teams up with transformational Uranus in your third house of ideas and communication. Stay open to those aha moments that can turn your life around, Pisces. The most innocent-seeming conversation could spark a life-changing “violet light” moment. Don’t edit what pops into your head. Share these potentially million-dollar notions. That said, you might not want to invest your life savings in any of them until you’ve done the appropriate R+D. But do capture them because you just never know! Sunday’s stars don’t exactly encourage your trademark compassion, but try not to abandon it! With shoot-from-the-lip Mercury in your communication corner forming a stranglehold with impulsive Mars, even the most casual observation could hit below the belt. And forget about “constructive criticism” now. It’s sure to be taken the wrong way. Conversely, if someone continuously offers YOU unsolicited advice, let them know that when you want their opinion, you’ll ask for it.
