Scorpio Horoscope May 2025
Work & Health
There’s a lot happening in fire sign Aries this month. Aries rules your work and lifestyle, your health and routine.
Talk planet Mercury is in Aries until the 10th, great for teamwork and applying for jobs. Plus, the planet of relating Venus is in Aries throughout May. Focus on team work and good working relations this month.
If you know you have a tendency to be too independent, make an effort to learn from others and be diplomatic with your associates or colleagues. It’s a good idea to keep on the right side of everybody because you don’t know who has the most influence. Use your networks and connections well.
There could be a breakthrough regarding your health or lifestyle, especially if you’ve found it hard to get the right advice or you’ve not been motivated to exercise or take good care of yourself of late.
There may be some luck or new opportunities that come your way, especially when lucky Jupiter teams up with talk planet Mercury on the 5th. This would be a good date to invest in your work or health.
Notice who or what comes into your life on or around this date. You may find the right person to meet your needs, whether this is about your working life or your health.
There’s another important planet entering Aries at the end of the month on the 25th, the planet Saturn which represents endings and commitment. A job or contract could come to an end under these stars. Or perhaps, you land a steady job that you’re going to be in for the next couple of years. Saturn’s the planet of responsibility and authority and favours the regular gig.
You may decide to become a volunteer while Saturn is in Aries. Aries rules employees, lodgers and pets in your horoscope.
Regarding your health and lifestyle, it’s a good time to flex your self-discipline and put new habits in place. It’s said that habits take 66 days to bed in, so start something new and make it part of your daily routine. Saturn will remain in Aries until September and take up residence here in February 2026.
The more organised you are, the quicker you can get things done. The same applies about slowing down to speed up. Think holistically and work on your mind, body and soul. Do so and your efforts could pay off and fast.
Career Path
There’s another major planetary reason why May’s a good month to focus on your work and vocation, your career and future path. This is because your traditional planet Mars is moving through Leo and your career and vocation sector.
Mars has been here before in the last two months of 2024. Therefore, events now may be linked to what was happening back then.
Mars represents drive and action, a go-getting energy when you can be ambitious and do well. At its best, Mars in Leo gives you the confidence and power to forge ahead.
Love & Relationships
It’s not only about work and organisation this month as close relationships are part of May’s planetary package. There’s a real possibility that love could be one area of transformation in your life this month.
This is because the Sun is in Taurus and your relationship sector until the 20th. Plus, talk planet Mercury is here from the 10th to the 26th. Therefore, it’s an ideal time to turn your attention towards your one-to-ones.
This may be important not only in love but business too. If you’ve been up against tough opposition at work or you’ve been dealing with tricky office politics, don’t give up but keep trying something new.
This is because the planet of change Uranus is active in Taurus and your relationship sector. Uranus favours spontaneity, acting fast, turning life on its head and is lively on the 17th & 24th when it aligns with the Sun and Mercury.
This could be fun and exciting as anything goes when Uranus is in action. However, it could bring unexpected events, so be prepared to dig deep and engage consciously and intensely with life.
Also this month, the Full Moon takes place in your star sign Scorpio on the 12th and Uranus is evident during the Full Moon phase. Full Moons heighten emotions, your star sign Scorpio is passionate and things can go a little bit crazy on the Full Moon.
Perhaps, you’re ready to reach the places where other people fear to tread. You might be dealing with deep or hidden emotions and be ready to release them on the Full Moon.
This Full Moon is intense and deep, purging and releasing for you. It’s a powerful Full Moon so consider what you want or need to let go of.
You could get involved in magic or a seance during this Full Moon, it feels so powerful. Be aware of your own power and use it well. Veer away from corruption or the underworld and use your power for transformation, regeneration and the greater good.
Gemini Season
Gemini rules one of the hidden sectors of your horoscope, linked to money and taboo topics, such as death and rebirth, sex and power. The Sun enters Gemini on the 20th and talk planet Mercury joins the Sun in Gemini on the 26th.
These are areas of life you may know well if you’re a true Scorpio. You’re one of two star signs linked to money, especially the stock market and trade – the other being Taurus. Plus, sex and regeneration, death and renewal are Scorpio themes.
Where is your obsession drawing you later this month, what are you exploring or diving deep into? Gemini is the star sign linked to communication and Scorpio rules the psyche. This is inner work, therapy or the metaphysical or esoteric realm.
The New Moon falls in Gemini on the 27th, a symbol of new beginnings. What do you want to start, launch or begin on this New Moon? You might be writing a detective novel. Or be communing with the spirits.
On a practical level, it’s a good New Moon to apply for a loan or mortgage. The same applies on the 30th when there’s a magical Sun/Mercury cazimi conjunction in Gemini. Ask for what you want and be enquiring.
Pluto Retrograde
Pluto’s your planet. Therefore, this is likely to be a significant time for you when Pluto turns retrograde on the 4th. You may be at a crossroads in life and ready to rise like a phoenix. If you’ve experienced any loss or crisis recently, Pluto’s a reminder that as a Sun Scorpio, you’re one of life’s survivors.
Pluto switches direction in Aquarius, the star sign at the base of your horoscope. This is the sector which rules your home and family, your past and where you come from.
There may be a story around your past or upbringing that transforms who you are and the way you see yourself. You could be ready to lay the past to rest. Or perhaps, you’re ready to start over in a new country or location. Pluto’s theme is endings and deep psychological self-transformation.
Notice if the past is holding you back in some way and consider where family or in-laws are a pull or a tie. When Pluto turns retrograde, you could decide to break contact with someone close. Pluto will be on go slow and diving into the underworld until mid-October.
Notice where you’re stuck in the past and can’t move on. This might be linked to an ex, a past love situation or something personal to you. Be gentle with yourself if this is true for you.
