Your May 2025 Horoscope for Aries
by Susan MillerThe best part about Saturn in Aries is that if you work earnestly with him and learn all that he wants to teach you, Saturn will leave an important gift for you by the door as he leaves as thanks for dealing with his teachings. In other words you will be a force to be reckoned with by your birthday in 2028.
Neptune entered Aries for the first time since 1861 to 1875 this month. Neptune entered Aries for a short preview on March 30 this year and will remain until October 22. Neptune will return to Aries on January 26, 2026, and remain in Aries uninterrupted until March 23, 2039.
Neptune can help increase your imagination and your creativity. The usual downside of Neptune in Aries is that it could make you prone to wishful thinking and not see reality, but Neptune will be orbiting shoulder to shoulder with Saturn, and Saturn is the planet of earthly realism. Neptune and Saturn will stay very close throughout 2026, so I am not worried that you would be prone to any illusions in the coming year. That will be great training for the coming years—there is no reason to worry.
Neptune will coax you to move closer to art, music, and all the artistic disciplines. Neptune is also the planet of unconditional love, and during this long visit of Neptune, you might be moved to help a segment of society that suffers and deserves compassion, so you may join a charity or humanitarian effort.
It is unusual to have Saturn in Aries too, for Saturn comes to visit your sign only two or three times in a lifetime—the last time he came knocking was April 1996 to February 1999. In astrology it is considered a huge event when Saturn returns to your sign. Saturn asks you to commit to a goal and will remain with you to show you how to achieve it. It is fortunate that Saturn is traveling with Neptune, as Saturn will work to keep your feet on the ground and highly realistic. You will be able to avoid the down side of Neptune of self-delusion. You should have no worries—these planets will bring out the best in you.
Romance will be bright and beautiful for you in May. No matter what your marital status—single or attached—love and affection could be on the way. Venus will glide through Aries this month, having entered April 30 to stay until June 5. You will love the interplay between Venus and her lover Mars on Thursday May 22. It’s due to be an enchanting evening.
