Your May 2025 Horoscope for Aries
by Susan MillerWe all need these three “personal planets” (the planets that orbit closest to earth), and we depend on them to all to be in good shape. These planets assist us on a day-to-day basis and help us to be productive and to push projects and relationships forward.
You’ll have all three of these planets strong and helpful this month. There is the exception of Mercury, which is getting interference from Pluto at the full moon May 12, but that will only felt from May 12 to 17. (I have to keep any eye on the entire sky at once, even if sometimes the planets speak in riddles.) Mercury is in your earned income sector and is being pressured by Pluto, the reason I simply do not want you to ask for a raise in early to mid-month, or to schedule travel (as Mercury is also a travel planet).
The energy shifts and opens up at the glorious new moon of May 26, which last month I called the official start of 2025. Finally, we can say goodbye to the difficult opposition of Mars and Pluto, which has been ongoing since last November. All those retrogrades had you pulling your hair out. If you feel almost nothing was going right, you had a point. By May 16, every one of the planets will be in strong shape.
I chose not to write my annual book, The Year Ahead 2025, because I didn’t want to have to tell you that the first five months of the year would be frustrating. Now, however, we have come to the front gate, and it is about to open. You will notice life will proceed at a better pace. We do have two eclipses in September, which might bring some adjustments, but they won’t be in Aries or your opposite sign of Libra anymore (finally!), so on that score, too, your life will improve.
The new moon of May 26 will be in compatible Gemini at 6 degrees and light your third house of communication and close-by travel. Saturn, the great teacher, and Neptune, planet of the arts as well as unconditional love, will both be newly minted in Aries and both will send kisses to this glorious new moon.
