CANCER MONTHLY HOROSCOPE - GENERAL
May 2025

On the one hand, May is a month of major change, while on the other hand, it is a month of transition or waiting. You can sense that the dynamics of the year so far are changing and you can sense even bigger changes ahead, but they are yet to settle into their new pattern. On several fronts, those changes are already underway and especially when it comes to a major shift from the adventurous to the professional side of life’s fence. However, the biggest shift and the one with the more personal impact is entering a state of limbo or of waiting, like a caterpillar in its cocoon, waiting to emerge as a butterfly, as one 12 year Jupiter cycle of expansion draws to a close and the next is about to begin. Jupiter won’t return to Cancer until 10th June to begin a year of major new beginnings, but as Mars' longest visit in two decades only ended last month, this has left you with time to ponder the things you are passionate about and what you might want this new chapter to hold. Meanwhile, while it is a given that the Sun, Venus and Mercury will move through your sector of adventure, travel, learning and discovery and then return to your career sector each year, the long term planets in those areas haven’t changed, until now. It was at the end of March that, in an adventurous part of your chart since 2012, Neptune, the planet of hopes and dreams left and returned to your career sector for the first time in 150 years. As you move into the new month, while Venus will make that shift on 1st May, Saturn will remain steadfast, as he has been since returning to your sector of adventure, travel, learning and discovery in March 2023. However, on 25th March, he too will leave, leaving this adventurous part of your chart empty for the first time since 2010 while joining the growing groundswell of planets in your career sector. This comes as the dynamics of the year itself are shifting, with Pluto turning retrograde in your financial sector on 5th May and taking money matters into review mode, just as in his first full month in your income sector, Mars is firing up the income side of the financial fence.

CANCER MONTHLY HOROSCOPE - LOVE
May 2025

Since Pluto’s return to your relationship sector in 2008, for the last 16 years, there has been nearly always planetary activity on the relationship front, while there is rarely any planetary activity in your romantic sector at this time of year. This year this has flipped around and your relationship sector is empty and has been since the last planet left in January and the asteroid Juno, the queen of commitment is not only in your romantic sector but will be for the next six months. Pluto is gone from your relationship sector and he is not coming back or at least not in our lifetime, with nearly two decades of focus on your relationships over. However, with a clear sense of what you want from your relationships and what they need from you banked. When Juno returned to your romantic sector in October, Pluto was still in your relationship sector and a parade of planets didn’t finish moving through until February, something that the spirit of romance had to compete with. Juno left a few months later but after seeing that all the focus on your relationships until later in the year is over, she seized her chance and has retrograded back in for a do over. It was towards the end of last month that Juno connected with Venus, just as the planet of love was making her own double dip visit to an adventurous part of your chart. Venus is leaving just as we move into the new month, but the spirit of romance and adventure will remain in safe hands. Helping to give this a serious boost will be the Moon’s return to your romantic sector on 11th May, culminating in the most romantically charged Full Moon of 2025 on 13th May. Meanwhile, while there is no more planetary activity on the relationship front until later in the year, the Moon’s return from 16th May to 18th May will be a valuable chance to check in and become more emotionally engaged and aware. This will see the Moon form a friendly aspect to the South Node in your communication sector as it moves through, which for the next 14 months is helping to keep the communication lines open.

CANCER MONTHLY HOROSCOPE - MONEY
May 2025

While things got a little bumpy towards the end of last month, they have not only eased back, but on both sides of the financial fence this will have left you more aware and empowered as the whole dynamics of this financial year are once again set to change. It was in the final months of 2024 that Mars and Pluto, the planets of war and revolution danced around and teased each other. After seven months in your financial sector Pluto had retrograded back on 2nd September, which meant that when Mars returned to your income sector on 4th November, just over two months later, the coast was clear and he was able to shift all the focus onto the income side of the financial fence. Except just over two weeks later Pluto not only returned, but the planet of change, transformation and rebellion is here now until 2044. Had Mars simply moved on they would never have clashed, but instead, he retrograded back out and spent the early days of the year clashed, for the first time here in our lifetime. Since then, Pluto has been able to keep all the focus on his side of the financial fence, the side where it is more about what you do with and how you manage the money you have. Until that is, Mars returned last month and for the second time this year, the planets of war and revolution clashed. This was over the last weekend of April and is they are already separating. Because Pluto has come to a standstill ahead of a retrograde turn on 5th May, he has come to a standstill while Mars has his foot on the gas. Apart from the clash late last month and a chance to thrash out the boundary lines between money coming in and money going out, this is a chance for Pluto to take money matters into review mode, while Mars is free to move things forward on the income front, though with the two keeping an eye on each other. What is going to increase the potential for May being one of the most lucrative months of 2025 is Venus, the planet of money’s return to your career sector on 1st May for her own do over. That will be especially so when the Moon moves through from 3rd May to 6th May and again when it returns on 31st May.
