This earthy Tauran week suggests taking dedicated time to stop and appreciate life’s never-ending daily supply of small joys, whatever they are for you…Here’s your weekly horoscope for 5–11 May, 2025.
Taurus, Apr 22–May 21
Change isn’t always easy for humans, especially for your grounded and steadfast sign. But the current Neptune cycle is all about embracing the unknown and leaning into the unexpected. If surrendering some measure of control feels unsettling this week, just do it your way: nice and easy.
Gemini, May 22–Jun 22
If planetary perambulations have you feeling a strong urge to shake up stagnant areas of your life, astral energetics are supporting you. This week suggests making changes slowly and steadily, and focusing on new directions that are innovative, long-term, sustainable and, most importantly for you, fun.
Cancer, Jun 23–Jul 23
All Cancerians are mothers to something, whether family, animal or enterprise, so as this week leads up to the annual day of honouring mothers on 11 May, this is a good time to think about acknowledging whatever you’ve nurtured, successfully or otherwise, with a celebration that’s meaningful to you.
Leo, Jul 24–Aug 23
With Mars in Leo, your dress code’s likely to turn heads, and nobody could accuse you of underselling. Flair is fine, but avoid a Game of Thrones approach in personal interactions and negotiations. You’ll feel like pushing the envelope, but think carefully before saying or posting anything provocative this week.
Virgo, Aug 24–Sep 23
With your planet mentor Mercury in the sign of “Don’t Hold Back”, it’s easier this week for everyone to speak candidly. Your perfectionist sign tends toward endless tweaking and improving details others don’t even notice, so you do need to learn when to say enough. Because somebody else will.
Libra, Sep 24–Oct 23
Mercury in its present placement has no patience for rationalisations. Or playing small, or hiding your light. Whatever you’ve got that’s worth promoting, whether your professional talents, negotiating abilities or personal style, you’re doing the world a favour by sharing it around and inspiring others.
Scorpio, Oct 24–Nov 22
If you’ve had issues with a stale situation or trying to drop an unsatisfying habit, that could change in a flash this week. And if melodramatic Mars instigates a bit of diva behaviour, then by all means keep your Scorpionic scepticism in place. But give reasonable people a fair chance.
Sagittarius, Nov 23–Dec 21
Beneficial Jupiter, Sagittarians’ ruling planet, spending its last month in your relationship zone (it won’t be back for over a decade), suggests defining and clarifying partnerships of all kinds — personal, social and professional — before the gas giant moves into your sector of private resources.
Capricorn, Dec 22–Jan 20
You’ve been busy assessing whether any of those recent offers and propositions have legs. But all work and no play makes boring Capricorns, and since this astro-cycle also loves its creature comforts, don’t be slow to factor in a generous dose of leisure pleasures and indulgences.
Aquarius, Jan 21–Feb 19
If you’re unable to gain traction on a group endeavour this week, use Pluto’s retrograde snooze cycle in your sign to tap the brakes and take a reality check: Is everyone aligned and on the same page? Have you taken on too much? Should you step back and reconsider?
Pisces, Feb 20–Mar 20
If this week’s outgoing astral atmosphere fires up a generous and commendable passion to assist others not blessed with as much good fortune as you — and it may — please keep reminding yourself to direct some of that love and a few of those treats towards your deserving self as well.
Aries, Mar 21–Apr 21
With Venus, Mercury and Neptune dancing a planet waltz in Aries, the celestial stage is set for you to step into the spotlight. Your ruler, Mars in the vibrant sign of “Look at Me”, quite likes sequins and fears not the bling, so feel free to lay on the pizzaz this week.
