Virgo
May 2025 Monthly Horoscope Overview for Virgo:
There is a strong focus on adventure, spirit, and mind expansion this month, dear Virgo, but much is going on under the hood in May, especially with your intimate life and/or with money matters and support. Where there was some waiting, delays, and backtracking with these issues in April, doors are opening to you in May. The chances of smoothing over a disagreement or attracting the support you need are high.
Your larger focus seems to be on the “big picture” in July. You’re seeking to stretch your mind. You see your heart more clearly, which also helps decision-making. Positive shifts can happen as you embrace exploring new subjects and places. Extra rest is crucial this month, but refreshing activities are essential, too.
Pluto begins its yearly retrograde cycle on May 4th, and problem areas can magnify with the shift, likely related to work, routines, communications, and health. As you grow accustomed to this energy, you’re in a brilliant position to review and reassess these matters as you gain perspective. You might more clearly see where you’ve been over-attached or where you’ve put too much pressure on yourself along these lines.
Doing out-of-the-ordinary things or changing routines up is attractive in May, but there is a considerable focus on healing, resting, and tying up loose ends as Mars transits the sign just behind yours all month. You’re gaining the motivation and energy to handle a matter that has been on your mind for some time. Otherwise, it’s an important period for resting and reorienting yourself. Your desires are more complex than usual, and when you do know what you want, you may not see an easy way to go after it! Ideally, this leads to creative solutions and detours.
The Full Moon on the 12th is fantastic for opening up the lines of communication or making connections, reaching out, putting the word out, and making your ideas known. Mind you, there can be a rush to get something done and a harried pace, but this can also be an exciting time for discovering a passion or new interest.
You benefit from feeling backed and respected, which can motivate you to work harder or to enjoy what you do more fully. Your interactions can be pleasantly spicy or intimacy-boosting. It’s a fabulous time to get to know yourself better as you get in touch with your more profound needs and desires. Ultimately, relationships are likely to strengthen as you understand yourself better.
Professional matters look bright, and you can be in an excellent position to arrive at a mutually beneficial agreement, cooperate with others, or receive helpful feedback this month. You can be managing financial support issues or formulating strategies for meeting your goals. Quiet study or research can yield the answers you need and perhaps some rewards. Further, focusing on something absorbing and pouring a lot of energy into a project you care about can boost your mood.
Pursuing heartfelt activities and building alliances are in favor. Researching, editing, or otherwise going over business, health, and financial matters can be satisfying. Still, it can also be a time of new, unusual, or radically different interests. Your worldview is changing, and current events can be catalysts for exploring new ideas. Educational plans might shift, or a sudden opportunity for different experiences can emerge.
On the 20th, the Sun heads to the top of your solar chart, increasing your ambition or sense of responsibility. After the New Moon on the 26th, you can start fresh with your image or career. There’s lovely support for your ideas, learning, travel, and career aspirations in the last week of May.
You might receive special attention in the last week of the month, or certain plans come together as details emerge. This can be a significant period for your work, career, life path, or direction as the Sun and Mercury align at the top of your solar chart. New insights into your career path or business projects can emerge, which can propel you forward or motivate you. Meaningful conversations or communications occur that help you turn a corner.

Virgo (Born August 23 to September 2) AND Virgo Ascendant 0 to 10 degrees Virgo:
May 2025 Virgo Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
May 2025
The Sun this Month: Central Focus, Consciousness
Until May 20th:
The Sun continues to shine its light on your solar ninth house now. This is a cycle in which you seek to expand your experiences and awareness, whether through philosophical thinking, higher education, travel, or simply activities that take you away from your everyday routines. You may feel a little restless if you don’t find ways to explore.
It’s an excellent period for looking at your life from a different perspective–a broader one–whether you initiate this process or you make contact with others who stimulate you to think about your circumstances differently. Your energy is strong, open, and friendly right now, you come across well to others, and you are a little bolder and adventurous than usual.
From May 20th forward:
The Sun illuminates your career and reputation sector. More than any other time of the year, your focus is drawn to your “place” or standing in the outer world, and your reputation. This is the time when you are more interested in, and focused on, accomplishing something important. Your competency is something that you are especially sensitive to during this cycle.
You want to shine! Your vision is practical right now, and you want to see tangible results for your efforts. More contact with authority figures is likely during this period. Recognition is likely to come your way whether you ask for it or not, and the responsibility that comes right along with it! Do what you feel is right, keeping in mind that you are at your most visible during this period in the year.
Venus this Month: Love, Romance, Social Life, Comfort, Pleasure
This month:
Venus continues to move through your solar eighth house during this period. You are attracted to the deeper elements of relationships and social interactions now, rather than what you meet on the surface. Mysteries fascinate you and you could be looking for others’ motives for doing and saying what they do. It’s a good time to feel supported by others, whether it’s financially or emotionally. It’s also a strong cycle for discovering your own hidden talents as well as fascinating things about a partner.
Mercury this Month: Communications, Learning, Connections, Transportation
Until May 10th:
Mercury continues to transit your solar eighth house. The ability to analyze and rationalize some of the deeper elements inside yourself and in your intimate life now can benefit you. This is also a good time for sorting out finances, particularly money shared or coming from other sources other than your own personal income.
You might particularly enjoy discussing topics that you typically don’t verbalize with someone special during this cycle. Anything taboo, mysterious, or puzzling can be especially fascinating for you just now. You have little interest in small talk. You are more aware of subtleties and nuances during this cycle, and you can use this increased insightfulness to improve your life.
From May 10th to 25th:
Mercury transits your solar ninth house. Not content to focus on mundane, practical affairs just now, your mind turns to bigger visions, thoughts, and ideals. You are open to expanding your knowledge base during this cycle, and communications from or with someone far away may be part of the picture.
You are putting everything into perspective now, rather than compartmentalizing. Instead of simply shooting the breeze, you are more inclined to discuss broader philosophies now. Your inclination during this cycle is to think about the “big picture” rather than the mundane circumstances and details of your life. Missing appointments and other forms of forgetfulness could be part of the picture now.
From May 25th forward:
Mercury transits your solar tenth house. You are likely thinking a lot about your career and business matters, or your career requires more communication than usual during this cycle. You speak with authority during this period, and you are more accountable than usual for what (and how) you communicate. Your ideas may come into public view now.
Use the power of words to influence authority figures. This is an excellent period for developing career and professional plans or strategies. You may be turned to for advice or for your opinion on important matters. Although approachable and ready to communicate, you are less inclined to chat about frivolous matters now.
You tend to think about your position or standing on a professional level more frequently during this cycle. You are likely doing some multi-tasking regarding career and business matters. Negative use of this influence would be to worry unnecessarily about your reputation and responsibilities.
Mars this Month: Energy, Drive, Courage
All month:
Mars continues to energize your solar twelfth house now. While Mars occupies the twelfth house, asserting yourself in a direct and straightforward manner can be difficult. This is largely due to a feeling of not being in touch with what it is you want or desire just for the time being as you reassess your goals and needs.
This lack of direction and self-knowledge should prompt you to look within to learn about your desires. It is likely that you will be much clearer when Mars reaches your first house. For the time being, take some time for rest and give your ego a break.

Virgo (Born September 3 to 12) AND Virgo Ascendant from 10 to 20 degrees Virgo:
May 2025 Virgo Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
May 2025
The Sun this Month: Central Focus, Consciousness
All month:
This month, with the Sun spotlighting your solar ninth house, your focus turns outward, away from the more personal concerns that have occupied your thoughts in the last months. More than any other time during the year, you are feeling most adventurous and willing to take a leap of faith. This is a cycle in which you seek a higher meaning to your life, and/or seek out new experiences that take you beyond the here and now, and beyond the mundane details of day-to-day life. Anything that broadens your experiences attracts now.
A lack of superficiality finds you straight to the point, interested in the truth of things. It would be wise for you to consider scheduling a vacation, adventure of sorts, or a course that expands your mind. These don’t have to happen now, but taking the time to recognize your needs for escaping the daily grind, taking a few risks, and feeding your spirit for self-expression through some form of adventure or higher learning, will help you to feel good about yourself. The only caution with this cycle is that you could lose touch with managing everyday affairs and important details.
Venus this Month: Love, Romance, Social Life, Comfort, Pleasure
Until the 14th:
Venus continues her trek through your partnership sector. Meaningful and harmonious relationships–both social and romantic–define you during this cycle, affecting your mind, body, and soul. Financial or social success may come to or through your marriage partner at this time. Special attention to and from a partner is in focus, and flattery works to your advantage! Give to a partner exactly what you would like to receive just now. It’s not about you right now–it’s about someone else close. Smoothing out your close personal relationships is what makes you happy during this cycle. You have a greater need than usual for contact and exchange with an intimate partner. If single, you are more willing than normal to enter into a committed relationship. In general, you are adaptable when it comes to your affections.
From May 15th forward:
Venus graces your solar eighth house now. During this cycle, a financial boost is possible, or you may gain financially through your partner. A deep and intimate connection made now could be revitalizing and even healing. You are more inclined to want to smooth over differences in a partnership concerning the sharing of power, intimacy matters, finances, and other emotionally-charged topics. Intimate relationships are intensified now. Either you or your partner want a deeper union.
Mercury this Month: Communications, Learning, Connections, Transportation
Until May 15th:
Mercury continues to transit your solar eighth house. The ability to analyze and rationalize some of the deeper elements inside yourself and in your intimate life now can benefit you. This is also a good time for sorting out finances, particularly money shared or coming from other sources other than your own personal income.
You might particularly enjoy discussing topics that you typically don’t verbalize with someone special during this cycle. Anything taboo, mysterious, or puzzling can be especially fascinating for you just now. You have little interest in small talk. You are more aware of subtleties and nuances during this cycle, and you can use this increased insightfulness to improve your life.
From May 16th to 30th:
Mercury transits your solar ninth house. Not content to focus on mundane, practical affairs just now, your mind turns to bigger visions, thoughts, and ideals. You are open to expanding your knowledge base during this cycle, and communications from or with someone far away may be part of the picture.
You are putting everything into perspective now, rather than compartmentalizing. Instead of simply shooting the breeze, you are more inclined to discuss broader philosophies now. Your inclination during this cycle is to think about the “big picture” rather than the mundane circumstances and details of your life.

Mars this Month: Energy, Drive, Courage
Until May 9th:
Mars continues to activate your solar eleventh house. You take a more direct approach to realizing your dreams now, rather than simply hoping and wishing.
You might find that you have more energy and enthusiasm for spending time with others, but arguments now may be with or on behalf of friends. You can be especially effective at encouraging others now, as well as at leading or organizing a group.
From May 10th forward:
With Mars moving through your solar twelfth house, this is the time to research and reflect upon your goals. It can be a time when past actions catch up with you–and this is not necessarily a bad thing!
It could also be a time when much of your energy is channeled into private matters, or when you prefer that others not observe what you are doing. This is natural–you may just as well do your best work alone for now. Unconscious behavior patterns could influence the way you assert yourself.
Some may experience insomnia during this phase, especially if they are not allowing themselves the chance to recoup and if they are not letting their intuition serve them. Others may enjoy a more active dreaming life (this includes day-dreaming), and, if allowed to run free, the imagination can serve them very well, especially with regards to goals and new concepts.

Virgo (Born September 13 to 23) AND Virgo Ascendant from 20 to 30 degrees Virgo:
May 2025 Virgo Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
May 2025
The Sun this Month: Central Focus, Consciousness
Until May 10th:
The Sun continues to highlight your solar eighth house. Your attention turns inward, as well as to close personal relationships on a deeper level. Personal transformations, personal power, and intimate matters fulfill you most during this cycle. There may be a strong focus on other’s money, such as the resources of a partner, inheritance, banking and loans, or taxes.
You are more intense in your mood and disposition, and perhaps even secretive, at this time of year. You are more in touch with the deeper and even primal elements of your own personality, and more able to see these things in others. This can be a determined and personally powerful time of year if you apply the energy of this transit constructively.
From May 10th forward:
This month, with the Sun spotlighting your solar ninth house, your focus turns outward, away from the more personal concerns that have occupied your thoughts in the last months.

Intimate relationships are intensified now. Either you or your partner want a deeper union.
Mercury this Month: Communications, Learning, Connections, Transportation
Until the 3rd:
Mercury continues to transit your solar seventh house. You can be especially aware of your “audience” in your communications now, which tend to be diplomatic and respectful during this cycle. You may be encountering an especially chatty or communicative partner, or meeting youthful, talkative people.
At this time, you love to hear others’ opinions and perspectives, and it’s an excellent time to do so. Others can spur on your own thinking and decision making processes now, simply by offering another perspective. You are thinking a lot about others, a partner, and relating in general, and in some cases perhaps worrying over these things.
From the 4th to the 21st:
Mercury transits your solar eighth house. You are more intuitive now than usual, picking up all of the hidden cues from people around you and reading between the lines. This is an excellent cycle in which to do some financial planning and strategizing.
Research is also highly favored. It’s easier for you to approach sensitive, intimate, and personal matters with rationality and logic. As such, this is a great time to open up conversations about topics that normally might cause waves, such as those revolving around the sharing of power, intimacy, and finances.
From the 21st forward:
Mercury transits your solar ninth house. Not content to focus on mundane, practical affairs just now, your mind turns to bigger visions, thoughts, and ideals. You are open to expanding your knowledge base during this cycle, and communications from or with someone far away may be part of the picture.
You are putting everything into perspective now, rather than compartmentalizing. Instead of simply shooting the breeze, you are more inclined to discuss broader philosophies now.

Mars this Month: Energy, Drive, Courage
Until the 29th:
Mars continues to activate your solar eleventh house. You take a more direct approach to realizing your dreams now, rather than simply hoping and wishing.
You might find that you have more energy and enthusiasm for spending time with others, but arguments now may be with or on behalf of friends. You can be especially effective at encouraging others now, as well as at leading or organizing a group.

This can be a significant period for your work, career, life path, or direction as the Sun and Mercury align at the top of your solar chart. New insights into your career path or business projects can emerge, which can propel you forward or motivate you. Meaningful conversations or communications occur that help you turn a corner.

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 second house of your solar chart from June 21 to July 22, so that you will find a similar interpretation for this transit in both June and July’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.
