Your May 2025 Horoscope for Leo
by Susan Miller
This is a disruptive aspect, and with Pluto in harsh angle to Mercury (Mercury rules your financial second house in your Leo solar chart), this full moon might point to an urgent need to make a costly repair to your property. If you are renovating, you may hear from your contractor that something has to be fixed immediately before the crew can continue, and that would put a strain on your finances. If you are offering on a house, you may be outbid by someone else, so you would have to craft a strategic plan. Huddle with your broker if you really want to win the bid.
This month has so much news, so now let’s turn to Saturn’s move into Aries on May 24 (to stay until September 1). Saturn will make a brief appearance in Aries to give you a preview of this important trend, to become more consistent next year from February 13, 2026, until April 12, 2028. Saturn can only make two, or possibly three, visits to one particular house of your horoscope in your lifetime because it takes Saturn 29 years to return to that house.
During the time from March 2023 to this month, May 2026, if you put in a claim for an insurance payout, you may have found the response to be too low—your insurance company was being tightfisted. If you needed venture capital, a bank loan, or mortgage, the amount of bureaucratic red tape you had to go through might have overwhelmed you. Saturn does demand patience and perseverance. When Saturn is in Aries (from May 24 to September 1 and then next year from February 13, 2026, to April 12, 2028), this won’t concern you anymore.
Sometimes when Saturn exits a house, it becomes far more important news than knowing about which sector Saturn will enter. This is true for you. Since March 2023, Saturn has been in your eighth house of other people’s money. During that time, Saturn was teaching you about personal financial management, including the reasons to save and invest, to care about your credit rating, to pay off credit cards, bank loans, and student loans in a timely fashion, and other such lessons. It is not an easy place to host Saturn. Some people need a lot of teaching, and other people need less. Saturn gives you just enough tutoring, no more, no less.
