Your May 2025 Horoscope for Taurus
by Susan MillerThis is your birthday time of the year, and you deserve the best. If you are an April-born Taurus, you may have felt some tension last month, although it would have been no fault of your own. The new moon in Taurus appeared on April 27 and by itself, was a nice enough new moon with your ruler Venus in the lead.
At the time, Venus received a sparkling, electric beam from Uranus, the planet of surprise, giving you plenty of magnetism and allure. Venus was in Pisces and based in your social eleventh house, so it’s clear your friends adored you, and you felt enormous joy being with them. If the tender moon in Taurus was opening the door to a new path, what was the problem?
The problem was that that new moon unknowingly walked into the center of a fierce argument between Mars and Pluto. This is nothing new with these two planets as this particular argument started November 3, 2024, cooled off a little after they made their opposition and got a little bit apart, but fired up again on January 3 of this year.
These two planets formed a direct opposition with Pluto in Aquarius and Mars in Leo, so even when these two strong planets backed off a little, you felt the tension as background music. They came back for one last stand on April 26, too close for comfort to the new moon April 27. Pluto was heating up your career sector, and Mars was—and still is—asking you to pay attention to your home quarters and family life.
