May 2025 sex and love predictions — here's who's getting lucky and who's leveling up
Welcome to the flower-powered, Venus-ruled month of May, folks.
We'll spend most of May under the divine influence of Taurus, the zodiac's resident hedonist. However, Venus and Mercury — two personal planets that directly impact relationships — begin the month in the 'born this way, bold b–ch' sign of Aries.
Mercury rules communication, and Venus governs attraction. According to psychic astrologer Inbaal Honigman, this double dose of firepower means we'll all be on the hot hunt for the new and the novel.
'You'll be looking for something fun, new and fresh. You might be looking for a new adventure with your current partner, or for someone new to enjoy life with,' she said.
Aries is always down for a dare, and with the grounding influence of the sun in Taurus, some may be ready to take the greatest gamble of all and commit to long-term love.
'Since the first three weeks of May are in the stable, home-loving sign of Taurus, those who are already in relationships will feel the pull towards establishing their love story,' said Honigman.
'Moving in together, investing in the future, or putting a ring on it, will feel like the right thing to do.'
Honigman notes that the prime time for proposals and progressing toward permanent plans is the window between May 10 and the 20th, when both the sun and Mercury are in Taurus.
While we'll all be ignited by the influence of Aries and grounded by the presence of Taurus this month, three signs stand out for luck in love.
Read for your sun and rising signs.
Ahoy, Virgo!
The dual influence of Aries and Taurus activates your eighth house of sex and resources and your ninth house of spirituality and expansion.
A revelation, however devastating, or a connection, however unexpected, may lead to a new way of being and believing for you.
Welcome the weird and withstand the strange — the best is yet to come.
The combination of Aries and Taurus energy this month activates your sixth house of rituals and your seventh house of relationships, Scorpio.
In kind, love can and should be a ceremony for you in May.
Light the fires (Aries) and give thanks for the body you have, and the body — or bodies — that you exchange the potent energies of care and carnality with (Taurus).
The earthy energy of Taurus may inspire you to commit to a person or a personal change with an act of conscious consecration. Be it a ring, a hair doll, or a blood oath — seal the deal with a ceremony.
Taurus season highlights your fifth house of fun and fertility, Capricorn.
With the embodied influence of Taurus and the experimental energy of Venus, this is an excellent time to explore the depths and bounds of your sexuality.
Spring has sprung, and with it the eternal summons to renew and/or begin.
Whether taking the journey with a trusted partner, a surprising fling, or the mighty company of yourself — you are primed to enter a new dimension of desire.

A Sign-By-Sign Guide to the Approaching Strawberry Full Moon
June 11 brings the Strawberry Full Moon in Sagittarius—an event that asks us to dream big, set goals and live on our terms. We are unapologetically leaning into what makes us jubilant and joyful. Nothing can hold us back from taking chances and exploring our passions. Book the holiday you've been thinking of, express your heartfelt sentiments and don't be shy. The full moon encourages boldness and ferocity. The vibrant lunation occurs two days after Jupiter, the planetary ruler of Sagittarius, shifts from Gemini to Cancer. Jupiter relishes its time in the water sign because there is more fluidity and movement—a state in which the philosophical planet thrives. Everything will move faster and come to fruition with ease, making it a glorious time to manifest our objectives and set intentions. Later in the day, Mercury and Venus link up, making it easy to communicate our desires. Any problems left on the back burner will be easily addressed and resolved. No one wants to carry bad vibes and resentment around anymore, so the energy will be pleasant and fortuitous. Aries Your fiery energy is turned up, and you are in the mood to seek excitement. The caveat is that you'll be overly optimistic about matters, but it's not bad. Your vibe is contagious, so those around you will be enthused with positivity—so much so that no one will have anything to complain about in your presence. Taurus Making financial decisions can be tedious and confusing. Luckily, you'll be able to find options and get advice before committing to a venture. Although the cosmos is currently pushing you to make impulsive choices, it's best to trust your timeline, which might be slower than others may like. Do not let anyone strong-arm you and move at your own pace. Gemini Even though the planet of communication, Mercury, rules your sign, finding the right words to express your innermost sentiments can be challenging. Practice what you want to articulate to your significant other/crush before sending a text or speaking face-to-face. You have lots of passion and feelings in your heart, so you should take time to speak your thoughts perfectly. Cancer You're a creature of habit, so it will be hard to rid yourself of activities and distractions that aren't the best for your emotional, physical and soulful wellbeing. Do a spiritual and mental detox by listing things you wish to change and augment. You can follow through on your goals since you're starting the work during a prosperous full moon. Leo Everything hidden is bubbling to the surface, urging you to embrace and own your shadow self. The more tenderness you give to the parts of yourself that are locked away and unknown to anyone, the easier it'll be to provide yourself with the adoration and affection you need. This is a moment of catharsis and compassion from yourself to yourself. Virgo This is your chance to turn the beat around. You've been in a bit of a funk for some time, and now you are being thrusted out of your comfort zone to release the immense feelings weighing on your shoulders and heart. After the culmination of the full moon, you will be invigorated and refreshed, ready to start anew. Libra Recently, you have felt skittish about putting yourself out there. Since the world is thirsting for your artistry, it'll be necessary to showcase your creativity. Don't hold yourself back from excellent opportunities manifesting under this lunation. You can reach highs like never before—if you play your cards right. Shoot for the moon and you might land amongst the stars. Scorpio You've been saving up and watching every penny you spend, but now have the urge to drop some cash on self-care items. Since you're always caring for others, you deserve to be pampered and indulge in lovely and decadent lotions, bath salts, perfume and lipstick. Any product that makes you feel beautiful and amazing about yourself is a great purchase. Sagittarius You sometimes get a rep for being commitment-phobic when the opposite of that sentiment is true. You long for someone to share adventures with—especially now. If you're searching for a partner, this is a fortunate time to set intentions around romance. If you're in a relationship, you'll feel more aligned with your significant other than you've been in months. Capricorn Confessing about a situation is better than having someone eclipse your narrative. You can control the story and let people see you're an honest sea goat. Also, it will be a relief to get the drama off your chest and to be free of the matter. You have the ability and power to turn the tides in your favor right now. Aquarius Wild horses wouldn't drag you away from celebrating your peers. However, if you get drawn away, know that your attendance at their event is anticipated—so do not disappoint by being a 'maybe' to their RSVP. Most importantly, try not to be tardy to the party. Arriving fashionably late isn't advisable, since they have a surprise waiting for you. Pisces Soak up the abundant moonbeams by accepting a new position at the office. A promotion and raise are in store for you, Pisces, which means you're on the fast track towards achieving your dreams. It's been a long time coming, and the offer is too good to refuse, making you gleeful. Lean into your fortune under the Strawberry Full Moon.

Your weekly horoscope for the week ending 15th June predicts major moves ahead
The cosmos are making lots of moves this week and things are shaking up in a good way. Moments will be fun and some will be rough. Try to make the most of it by stepping away from heated situations when they begin. The ultimate flex is to not engage in drama and to focus on yourself. Protect your energy! The week begins with Mercury and Jupiter forming a conjunction in Gemini on 8th June, which gives us complete understanding and clarity. Mercury will enter Cancer later that same day, bringing emotion to the way we express ourselves. Jupiter swims into Cancer on 9th June, adding luck and goodness to our vibe. Mercury in Cancer squares Saturn in Aries on the 9th, making us think before we speak. Venus in Taurus shares a fraud aspect with Pluto retrograde in Aquarius on 9th June, creating intense power struggles in relationships. Mercury and Neptune in Aries meet up on 9th June, allowing us to embrace our fantasies and daydreams. The Full Moon in Sagittarius on 11th June will enable us to transcend and evolve. Mercury and Venus harmonise on the 11th, urging us to speak from the heart and lead with our best intentions. The Sun in Gemini and the Nodes of Destiny share a frenetic connection on June 13, offering us new opportunities to choose from. Sometimes, it pays off to be reflective and contemplative, especially when it comes to discussing personal matters that are weighing on you with a close friend. Being strategic in how you chat about your emotions is beneficial because it encourages you to be empathetic and direct in conversation without conflict. Once you take a stance, it's hard to get out of the train of thought, even if your assessments aren't correct and inaccurate. Before digging your heels in the mud and allowing yourself to get stuck in a mindset, consider understanding the other person's side and POV from the get-go. The best things in life are free, but that sentiment won't pay for this season's It Bag. Saving your pennies for an item you're lusting after isn't going to stop you from desiring new swag next month, so figure out what stylistically stands the test of time. Decide before swiping your card and your wallet will thank you. 'Tis the time for your glow-up. This week brings a massive shift in how you see yourself and how others view you. Don't worry, little crab, the cosmos are heightening your popularity. It just may be hard for you to accept your fandom at first, but you will embrace it soon. If you've been yearning for down time so take a few days for some R&R after work. Treat yourself to a mani-pedi with a foot massage to unwind and chill at home. You'll be grateful that you chose to decompress instead of hitting the bars when you realize how revitalising it is. Your social network is making strides, aligning you with people who can give you a boost in your career. Therefore, you need to beef up your LinkedIn account and presence to show them your skills and knowledge. They might be able to help you professionally in the future, so reach out! Although you may not do it intentionally, you're breadcrumbing your crush or S.O. The constant demands of your 9 to 5 are holding you back from being there for your boo. Don't let that stand between you both. Plan a special outing to make them feel the love you have in your heart. Obsessed with being at the top of your game? You don't have to climb the corporate ladder to prove your worth. When you are feeling down and blue about your current situation or frustrated, know that you are the CEO of being fabulous, which is all that really matters. The group chat is dwindling, and you're scrambling to get everyone back into gear for summer (which technically begins next week, but in your mind, it's already started). Nudge them delicately before laying on the guilt trip and theatrics. They'll respond if you present a plan for the next hangout. Even though you tend to hold onto grudges (no judgment!), there comes a time when you gotta release them. The week ahead asks you to unshackle yourself from such burdens to live and let live without continuously hardening your heart. Unchain yourself from the resentments holding you back from growing. Integrity is essential to you but not always vital for others. Some peeps may disappoint you this week when you witness their sketchy behavior in personal and professional settings. For you, it's a deal breaker, so you're moving onward and upward with those who are honest and loyal. Drop mic. People can be two-faced at times. While that sentiment is true, the caveat is that you are running your mouth and annoyed that others are doing it too. If your pals get caught with their hands in the cookie jar, deal with the problem and make amends for your part.
