Your May 2025 Horoscope for Leo
by Susan MillerYou start the month with Mars in Leo, and having Mars in your sign is a big advantage because it helps you to gain notice and also be favored in negotiations so that the talks can go your way. This time, however, Pluto is orbiting precisely opposite Mars and could be holding up the way forward.
Pluto in Aquarius opposed Mars in Leo within hours of the appearance of the April 27 new moon in Taurus and your tenth house of professional advancement, which may have brought some crosscurrents. Your career has been going well so far, so I can only imagine this month’s aspects are simply acting like an annoying interference.
That new moon lit up your career sector, but that new moon unwittingly arrived in the center of the argument between Mars and Pluto. That set off a food fight of epic proportions, because not only were Pluto and Mars at odds with each other, but this enabled Pluto in Aquarius to also argue with the Sun and new moon in Taurus. Meanwhile, on the other side of the sky, the same intense squabble broke out between Mars in Leo and the Sun and new moon in Taurus. All the signs involved were fixed signs, so none of the participants were inclined to compromise. What a mess. Early born Leos with birthdays that fall near July 26 to August 3 were most likely to be subject to some tension.
The acrimony that developed between Mars and Pluto harkens back to November 3, 2024, when they first began to lock horns. Then they backed off a little (but not enough to lower the tension in the background). They started fighting again in early January, then stepped back, and recently reengaged on April 26. This will be the last time that Mars and Pluto will oppose each other for a long while.
