Your May 2025 Horoscope for Leo
by Susan Miller
The new moon on May 26 will be your glorious moment—I call this new moon the official start of 2025. Despite the possibility that you will have to face a number of stressful matters earlier this month, by the time you reach the new moon in Gemini on May 26, you will be in a beautiful new place in your mind and heart. You will now start to reflect a more upbeat, cheerful spirit—for good reason.
This new moon will be filled with sugar and spice, for finally, in the background, the planets will have stopped clanging and banging against one another. The retrogrades of Mercury, Mars, and Venus are over. They had to work up to full strength, but that was accomplished by Mercury on April 26, for Mars, that will happen on May 2, and for Venus, that will happen by May 16. The eclipses of March 13 and March 29 are behind you. The grumpy lunations of April 27 and May 12 will be finished. You may have felt like you walked across the desert, climbed the tallest mountain, and swam the deepest ocean—you did.
The May 26 new moon and the Sun will be in your eleventh house of joy, happiness, and social activity. New friendships will be formed, and among them, you may be highly inspired by an older person who may befriend you and can offer you excellent advice. Although Jupiter will not orbit close to the Sun and new moon in Gemini, Jupiter will still be in this magical, enchanting house known to help you materialize a wish that’s dear to your heart.
Mars in Leo will still be close enough to communicate with his sweetheart Venus in Aries. Meanwhile, Pluto in Aquarius and your marriage and partnership sector will signal the Sun, new moon, and Mercury in a friendly way to offer his powerful support. Neptune and Saturn will also want to enter this conversation and reach out to this new moon and the Sun with their greetings. This is a fantastic new moon and will set you off on weeks of socializing with your friends. If you are single, ask a pal to make an introduction—this is the area of your life where all your golden nuggets will lie.
