A transits check-in for May 2025 with a Taurus new moon. This will affect us most in which we have houses ruled by Aries, Taurus and Leo. Secondarily, Gemini and Pisces. Look at what houses you have these signs in, to get a full picture of what will happen in May.
Taurus New Moon
Generally, with the Taurus new moon happening from 28 April to 13 May, areas of inner beauty, self-worth, material possessions and our own fixation on things we are comfortable with will be brought to light. It’s a good time to be aware of how you’re restricting yourself from growth. Make that change yourself, especially since we’ll be a bit more stubborn and generally not heed advice from others.
This is also going to push us to build stronger foundations, being more responsible and reliable that will prove sustainable and positive on a long term basis. Ensure that actions taken during this period are on a more logical side. Results won’t be immediate but will prove to be worthwhile and much needed.

We have just moved away from this transit but what’s worth mentioning is that there was a transformational change that happened on what our hopes/wishes are in areas of friendships or career opportunities. In need of a balance between that change and actions we’re taking. With that balance, there’s also a difficult challenge of knowing what to do regarding finances or inner values. Do we stay stuck in mundane routined comfort or effect change and grow?
From 1st May, Sun in Taurus will move away from that hard aspect and slowly gain clarity on building up what was stagnant, with a more noticeable change from 15 May when the sun conjuncts Uranus in Taurus.
30th April to 8th May
Saturn in Pisces conjunct Venus in Pisces conjunct Neptune in Aries, sextile Pluto in Aquarius, Trine Mars in Leo
While there could have been some restrictions or lessons that we were not able to control directly, relationships with others may help alleviate some of that, allowing us to forge ahead. While generally considered positive, Venus will move into Aries where it’s considered detrimental. Our relationships with others as well as our finances/inner values may be questioned again. Positively, with that trine to Mars in Leo, we may be able to effect change and help others who are in need. Negatively, we may be affected by those topics and allow them to affect what we know to be right for ourselves.
3rd May to 8th May
Mercury in Aries conjunct Chiron in Aries, sextile Jupiter in Gemini
Past wounds which may even stem from childhood or unexplained ones from other lifetimes will affect the way you communicate and think. Positively, it will allow you to gain control of how you communicate your individuality and purpose in this life. Negatively, it will steer you off course forcing your way of doing things to be the only right way, disregarding others to the point that it affects them negatively. Remember, Venus is also in Aries during this period.
Communication and daily life, will form a rather helpful aspect to higher learning/religion/overseas travel and your subconscious. Jupiter in Gemini is considered detrimental. Overseas plans may not come to fruition or be affected by your overthinking, too much thoughts, or finding faults with others regarding your own personal beliefs. While seemingly negative, communicating or processing about everything that’s running through your mind will help a lot.
10th May to 1st June

Personal endeavours may be challenged between responsibilities and trusting in the unknown. Familiarity and comfort regarding your routines and daily life may be stagnant or not pushing you to grow, allowing this transit to make you aware of situations or possibilities you’ve never thought of before. An increase in curiosity that will push you to learn or understand the different aspects of life. This could further translate into being more outspoken and/or sociable.
This could also potentially mean you have or will be going to take a lot of short trips. Whether it’s an increase in daily commute, travels to nearby countries that aren’t via plane. On one hand, the challenge will be to stick to that routine or what’s comfortable and known, or trust in doing something else and seeing more of what’ve you’ve always been accustomed to.
12th May to 31st May
Venus in Aries trine Mars in Leo
While there was a ‘rest’ on 9 to 11 may, relationships with others may once again push us to reassess the relationship dynamics. Positively, we will stand up for our own individuality, making some change that we feel comfortable with in that particular dynamic. Negatively, or pushed too far, there will be an outburst that will enforce certain boundaries we have to make it clear to others where we stand. Venus is also the ruler of Taurus, where the Sun is currently in, potentially speaking about our relationship to finances and how we show our inner values.
15th May to 21st May
Sun in Taurus conjunct Uranus in Taurus, sextile Saturn in Pisces
What we have been working on since 28 April will go through a change or we may be met with a situation where our inner values/finances are challenged. Positively, reaping efforts that were put in place or standing our ground to ensure we can withstand it. Negatively, we’ll get shaken up and finally be aware of what we must do. All in good measure for a positive outcome when the sun moves into Gemini and trines Pluto in Aquarius.
23rd May to 26th May
Mercury conjunct Uranus in Taurus sextile North node in Pisces, trine South node in Virgo
While we may have been a bit more reserved in how we speak or stubborn in communicating about our own ideas/values, we will be met with a situation that changes certain ideas or values that we strongly upheld. Once we are able to get over that, work out what was keeping us stuck or caught up with our own values, we will be met with a trine with Pluto in Aquarius on 27th may to 29th may. Note that mercury is considered domicile when in Gemini. Our communication, our mind, our thoughts will be able to effect change when necessary and we will be seeking out more information from others, being more sociable or curious about things that we weren’t privy to before.
While these are general indications of planetary influences, comparing the transits to your own natal placements will give you a full picture of exactly what will happen. If you’re interested in knowing more about what’s in store for you, book a reading with us.
