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.

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.

What Preschooler Says During Acting Audition Leaves Mom Speechless
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Let's be honest—most adults have stretched the truth at least once to land a job. But one preschooler may have taken it to the next level. A recent survey by StandOut-CV of 2,012 U.S. adults revealed that more than three in five respondents (64.2%) admitted to lying on their resume at least once. But resume embellishments aren't just for grown-ups. When Harlyn Brielle was just four years old when she improvised during an acting audition - in a desperate bid to get the role. Her mom, Bree, 33, recently shared the clip on Instagram (@breenotacomedian), where it quickly went viral, amassing over 1.9 million views. "We rehearsed the commercial every day for weeks and she did that part perfectly," she told Newsweek. "But when we got to the questions, she had her own agenda." Two screenshots from the viral video showing the young girl looking at her mom and then smiling. Two screenshots from the viral video showing the young girl looking at her mom and then smiling. Instagram/@breenotacomedian During the virtual interview, Harlyn was asked whether she could speak any other languages. Without missing a beat, she confidently replied, "Yes," then proceeded to invent her own language on the spot—before wrapping up the impromptu answer by repeatedly saying "gracias" in Spanish. Bree, who had spent weeks rehearsing the commercial script with Harlyn, was caught completely off guard. "We rehearsed the commercial every day for weeks and she did that part perfectly," she told Newsweek. "But when we got to the questions, she had her own agenda." Trying to keep things on track, Bree gently clarified to the interviewer that her daughter could do accents, not speak other languages. But Harlyn wasn't about to let go of her narrative, doubling down on her claim with even more Spanish flair. Unfortunately, the audition—allegedly for a cereal brand—turned out to be a scam. Bree discovered the red flag when the organizers asked for money. "When I told Harlyn, her response was, 'No way we're paying them. I'm the star—they should pay me!'" Bree recalled. Although that particular opportunity didn't pan out, Harlyn, now seven, has since landed a small role in the film Girl in the Closet. Determined to support her daughter's acting ambitions, Bree even created an Instagram page dedicated to her budding career: @harlynbrielle. "Harlyn is one of those kids where I never know what's going to come out of her mouth," Bree said. "As a Virgo, she's bold, confident, and—if you ask her— she's always right!" Online audiences seem to agree. The original video, posted on May 6, has garnered more than 165,000 likes and many users can relate to the text layered over the clip. It says: "When you lie on the job application [and] say you're bilingual to try [and] get the job." "I checked the bilingual box on an Indeed app and listed 'mildly conversant' on my resume. I got the job and ended up answering phones while googling responses!" resonated one user. "This is what real confidence looks like. I hope she keeps it forever," complimented another and a third pointed out: "Her mom was just as surprised as we all were."
