Cancer Horoscope for May 2025

Your May 2025 Horoscope for Cancer

by Susan Miller


The full moon in Scorpio on May 12 will affect people of all zodiac signs in various ways, depending on their individual chart. For you, the full moon will appear in Cancer’s solar fifth house of true love, so you might have a difficult, unexpected episode with the person you are dating seriously. When news comes up, you might be so upset that you may be tempted to leave the relationship altogether—or not. Much will depend on whether this full moon touches off planets in your natal chart, and if it does, you will notice this full moon’s message.

All full moons deliver their message within five days of the date they appear (May 12 to May 17 in this case). This full moon in Scorpio will bring a measure of unpredictability because surprise-a-minute Uranus will conjunct the Sun. At the same time, Uranus will directly oppose the full moon, and you are ruled by the moon, which is the reason I feel this could bring on a jarring moment.

If the full moon of May 12 brings up a recurring problem with a partner that never gets settled, you might simply throw in the towel and make plans to depart. This is an aspect of sudden separation, so this may be the straw that breaks the camel’s back. The situation is likely to come on rapidly and without warning. (If you are married, your spouse is not named in this aspect—your marriage is covered by another part of your chart, the seventh house, so this full moon will not involve your mate.)

The fifth house, where this full moon will fall, also covers your children, and your attention may be directed toward one child in particular. Keep your schedule light near May 12. You won’t expect to have to redirect your attention quickly to fix whatever comes up. You seem to be alert and on your toes at this time because the decision you will make appears to be stabilizing, and this comes thanks to a supportive, friendly beam from Saturn to that full moon.
