Tarotscopes | May 2025
Happy May, everyone! This month marks the beginning of major shifts for the collective. We’ve been slow to start it seems this year, but now it all begins to get going.
Below is a list of the most notable dates and transits for May:
May 4th: Pluto Retrograde in Aquarius
This Pluto retrograde will last until mid-October, bringing revision and needed development to power structures. If you have prominent Aquarius, Leo, Scorpio, or Taurus placements, you may feel these changes more strongly than others.
May 12th: Full Moon in Scorpio
This lunation marks an ending to secrets, illusions, manipulations, and power dynamics that no longer align with you. Repressed feelings and uncomfortable topics may resurface, shining a spotlight on the things we often avoid. Release everything and step into this season with a clean slate.
May 20th: Sun enters Gemini
Gemini season officially begins!
May 25th: Saturn enters Aries
This is one of the most important events happening in all of 2025. Saturn, the planet of discipline, restriction, and obstacles, is leaving Pisces and entering the fiery realm of Aries. This shift will collectively bring a theme of independence — making moves and becoming comfortable with abrasive truths. This energy will shape the next few years.
May 27th: New Moon in Gemini
The month closes with a gorgeous New Moon in Gemini! A New Moon represents a new beginning. In Gemini, expect a chapter filled with social gatherings, playful humor, and increased awareness. Use this time to start a new area of study or connect with others. If writing is your thing, now would be the perfect time to create or release your words into the world.
The tarot card for the collective is the Two of Pentacles! This card feels very synchronistic with the energies at play. We are being asked to embrace both the joys and challenges that come with change, remembering that change is the only constant in life. What changes are happening for you? What changes are you ready to make?
Now, with retrograde-free skies, we’ve been given clear intel on what is and isn’t working. Let the transformation begin.
Aries
Two of Wands
This month, remind yourself that opposition is an opportunity. You’re becoming aware of false compromises. Don’t settle — let this be a reminder that what you truly want is worth fighting for.
Taurus
King of Swords
It’s go time. Everything you’ve been building is coming together now. You’ve worked hard to reach this point — don’t get distracted. Stay focused and trust that you’re materializing exactly what you intended.
Gemini
The Chariot
If you’re considering big moves, now is the time! Whether it’s a new career, a move, or travel, know that all will flow smoothly. The Chariot reminds you that you can handle the transitions you’re dreaming of.
Cancer
Ten of Wands
You’re feeling overwhelmed this month, Cancer — and it’s time to set yourself free. What would happen if you voiced your discomfort? This month, remember: “the squeaky wheel gets the grease.” Speak up and watch support appear.
Leo
Six of Pentacles
This May, you may find yourself reflecting on your self-esteem. Remember: self-worth is internal, not external. Prove to yourself that you are worthy. You’re clearing up old confusion around validation and stepping into true success.
Virgo
The Devil
It’s time to break free. The Devil signals stagnation — old cycles and patterns that have kept you stuck. Ask yourself: are you truly content with your life? Between now and death, what changes do you want to make? The time is now. You have one life, make it as beautiful as you wish it to be.
Libra
Eight of Cups
If there’s friction in your relationships, advocate for yourself clearly. The Eight of Cups points to passivity in challenging dynamics. There are ways to communicate your needs without rocking the boat. Speak your mind and free your heart.
Scorpio
Seven of Cups
It’s time to get real. You may have expectations that aren’t grounded in reality — whether about a relationship, opportunity, or future outcome. Be honest with yourself. Your intuition will guide you through the uncertainty.
Sagittarius
King of Wands
You are bursting with creative energy! Watch as your ideas and projects come together seamlessly. This is a dynamic time full of positive new changes. Ride the wave of your newfound confidence.
Capricorn
The World
You’re becoming aware that one era is ending and another is beginning. Tie up loose ends and close old chapters — you can’t bring outdated patterns into your new life. Step into your new beginning fully.
Aquarius
Five of Pentacles
Worry and pessimism may be clouding your mind, Aquarius. But this is a mirror — not a prediction. Nothing disastrous is coming. Instead, look at what’s truly troubling you and make clear, actionable plans to move forward.
Pisces
Seven of Pentacles
Patience is your friend this month. If money or security is on your mind, know that past investments may now start paying off. Revisit the seeds you once planted — they are likely ready to be harvested.
