May 2025 Horoscopes Are Here With A Major Reality Check
This month, Saturn leaves Pisces for the first time in 30 years, changing life as we know it.
Design: YourTango | Photo: Dean Drobot from Canva Pro The May 2025 horoscope brings major astrological changes because Saturn, known as the taskmaster, leaves Pisces for the first time in 30 years this month. Saturn in Aries will bring far different energies than Saturn in Pisces. Pisces is the last sign of the zodiac and Aries is the first, so the focus will be on leaving the old behind for the new with Saturn in Aries. Aries is the baby of the zodiac, so many things we experience will be new collectively and individually.
Saturn in Aries can foster strong leadership and the ability to take the initiative in challenging times. It can channel new innovative energy into positive directions and help overcome procrastination. Saturn is considered at its fall in Aries, which means the energy isn’t comfortable. Saturn will conjunct Neptune, which is also making its first pass in Aries this year, dissolving the old order. Many things will change and new ways of life and opportunities will replace the old, both individually and collectively. We will begin experiencing a period of letting go of illusions and facing reality this month, however this is defined for each zodiac sign:
