As the combined force of four planets — Chiron, Neptune, Mercury, and Venus — in fiery Aries meets stubborn Taurus, something’s gotta give. And could it be you…Here’s your weekly horoscope for 28 April–4 May, 2025.
Taurus, Apr 22–May 21
In physical astrology, Taurus rules the throat. And this year’s portal is now open for you to speak your truth and share your values. What’s the best birthday present to yourself? Taking you-time every day, even a few minutes, to ditch devices, step away from routine obligations and also breathe into inner calm.
Gemini, May 22–Jun 22
May’s energetic upsurge in your sector of social groups, known in traditional astrology as the house of joy, is about networking: Gemini’s superpower. So be open to fortuitous opportunities that come your way. However, also be aware that others may be moving at a much slower tempo than yours.
Cancer, Jun 23–Jul 23
This month’s planetary pattern shifts your focus from personal reinvention to sensible organisation. Therefore, take advantage of this practical magic to structure your days with well-planned schedules that keep you on track with everything from the way you nourish your body to simply having realistic expectations.
Leo, Jul 24–Aug 23
With Mars pumping up the volume in Leo, you’ll make every invite sound like the must-attend event of the season. But Mars can also escalate drama and overstatement. There’s nothing wrong with a little poetic license, but too much bedazzling the truth is likely to attract backlash.
Virgo, Aug 24–Sep 23
After April’s fast and furious interactions, May’s planetary speed slows to a steadier, more productive, Virgo-friendly pace. And while 100% concentration is natural to you, without regular focus shifts, this can narrow your perspective so you miss opportunities. Schedule in pleasure pauses and small joy breaks.
Libra, Sep 24–Oct 23
In the taking care of business month of May you’re quite likely to find glitches and hitches which seemed insoluble becoming manageable, workable, even potentially positive. Plus, love planets Mars and Venus in showoff fire signs are calling for an overhaul of whatever’s become a bit monotonous or ho-hum.
Scorpio, Oct 24–Nov 22
Red planet Mars in its most glamorous and theatrical placement during May calls for adding a big dash of flair anywhere life has got a bit predictable or vanilla. So shake up any stagnant habits or stale behaviours. Dress up for everything, not just special occasions. All occasions are special.
Sagittarius, Nov 23–Dec 21
Taurus season energises your zodiac zone of work and wellness, making May Sagittarians’ month for putting healthy habits in place and finding ways to make daily tasks more efficient and enjoyable. Mars in your sector of personal growth gives entrepreneurial ventures and educational pursuits a high-octane boost this week.
Capricorn, Dec 22–Jan 20
With the sun and managerial Mercury in their most practical placement, May’s earthy energies are Capricorn-compatible. Think tactics and strategies, because you’ll save time, money and energy with advance planning. Crunch numbers and work through estimates for what has the potential to go the distance and be profitable as well.
Aquarius, Jan 21–Feb 19
Aquarius is a collaborative sign, and Pluto, beginning its annual, five-month retrograde here, suggests the possibility of power plays disrupting team efforts. But this transit can be a blessing in disguise if you release the pressure valve and gear down to a less stressful, slow and steady phased approach.
Pisces, Feb 20–Mar 20
Neptune and Saturn, finally winding up their long residency in your sign see May’s planetary perambulations bringing the Fish tribe a welcome degree of sweet relief as pressures ease, complications unravel, and life’s possibilities brighten with this month’s Venus and Neptune shining creative vibes into your money zone.
Aries, Mar 21–Apr 21
Vibrant Venus with her red dress on in Aries is bold, confident and raring to go. The same goes for enthusiastic, entrepreneurial Mercury, also in your sign. So, it’s best to use May’s grounding energy to secure a stable base and get workable plans in place for bringing those exciting new ideas to life.
