Horoscope For Today: Thursday, May 22, 2025

Today the moon continues to wane as it moves through the end of Pisces and dips into the beginning of Aries. While the shift from Pisces to Aries often gives a motivating boost that pushes what we’ve been dreaming about into action, a waning balsamic moon (the moon’s last phase before the new moon, which we’re headed towards in just a few days) brings us into a period of reflection and and releasing our own expectations of yourself as physical energy lessens but psychic, intuitive energy increases. This grants a period of leaning into rest in preparation of setting new intentions as we head towards the new moon.

Today Venus, planet of love, attraction, and values, comes into a supportive, flowing trine with Mars, the planet of action and energetic drive. With Venus in bold, courageous Aries and Mars in playful, expressive Leo, these two planets are connected by the passionate, creative fire element, encouraging us to lean into our own authenticity and bring our attention to the activities and projects that fuel and excite us.

Finally, we have Saturn, the planet of maturity, wisdom, and responsibility sitting at the final, 29th degree of Pisces, the sign Saturn has been in since spring of 2023. The final degree of a sign is a critical point that represents the threshold out of a journey through one sign before crossing into the beginning of a new sign. It presents a sense of urgency, a need to wrap things up and get the ‘bigger picture’ of the lessons presented by the planet’s time in the respective sign. With that in mind, you might find yourself feeling this sense of urgency around wrapping up storylines and important themes that have been pressing since 2023.

All in all it’s a day of getting introspective and reflective, while honoring the need to express yourself creatively.

Aries

Today is for wearing your heart on your sleeve, Aries. Is there anything that has been simmering deep within that you need to get off your chest? It’s a good day to focus on some creative practices, projects, or any activities that remind you of your own authenticity and grant you a boost of self-love. Give yourself full permission to embrace self-expression, get into a creative flow, and indulge in yourself, and even your inner child.

Taurus

Taurus, today is all about reflecting on your greater aspirations and looking inward at what you subconsciously hold on to that affects your ability to manifest those aspirations (positive or negative!). What have you learned over the last few years about your own capabilities and how has that helped you level up in your sense of responsibility and maturity? It’s time to get serious about propelling things forward by looking to the underlying desires and values that inform your own dreams. Consider why you strive for the goals you do and how you can cultivate a sense of security and sturdy foundations that will help those goals flourish.

Gemini

We’re officially in your season, Gemini, and you have every right to be excited as things start to get moving for you. However, in order to direct that momentum in a way that feels steady and aligned, it’s important to get very specific with yourself in defining what that means to you. Spend today reflecting on the seeds you wish to plant and cultivate as the sun shines on you through your season. What do you want to achieve? How do you wish to feel? Dream big and let your imagination get bold. Things are especially about to ramp up with the upcoming new moon in your sign, so let that vision formulate over the next few days. Ask yourself what you want out of your current transformational process and what you are willing to let go of to get there.

Cancer

Moving into Gemini season is shifting your own energy Cancer, as you shift gears from social butterfly to retreating inward. Try to not push yourself too hard right now, Cancer. You’re getting ready to manifest and attract some big, abundant, and exciting changes, but in order to do so in a way that keeps you feeling aligned and grounded, you need to first tend to your inner dreamer and confront the subconscious patterns that influence your ability to envision possibility. As you find yourself ruminating on personal growth and your career aspirations today, let it be exactly that…ruminations that need to be integrated and gestated in order to flourish into something fruitful and enduring.

Leo

Leo, for you today is a day of getting social, connecting, and networking. Look towards the bigger picture today, Leo. Consider the growth you’ve been striving for and how you can lean into your community to help put it into practice. How can you funnel your desires and strong sense of will into your own process of self-transformation? Who do you need to be in order to support and attract the kind of relationships you want in your life? Particularly the relationships that will help develop the inspiring, creative community you crave. Don’t forget your own magnetism, Leo, you just may find that you hold the ability to create powerful connections amongst those around you.

Virgo

You may find some big bursts of unexpected ideas and information coming forward over the next few days, Virgo. However, the road to inspiration always demands some deep introspection and examination. What are the more shadowy aspects and tendencies of yourself you have been suppressing lately? By honoring and integrating those thorny edges you stand to emerge stronger, wiser, and ready to grow. Look deep within to consider your own values and desires, how they influence your behavior patterns, and how you’ve been interacting with your loved ones.

Libra

Your attention is being brought towards the relationships in your life today, Libra. How do the relationships in your life help shape and motivate your own greater aspirations? You may also want to consider what existing connections and relationships you have that might help put you in a network or community that can feed and inspire your own aspirations. Most importantly, how can you show up to those relationships in a way that demonstrates you seriously value the asset that those relationships are? You may also find a romantic spark in the air today, as well. If you’ve been hoping to meet someone special, today’s a great day to get out and be social. You just might find some magnetic attraction at play.

Scorpio

Take some time today to recognize everything you’ve been pouring into your day to day over the past couple months and how it can help build momentum in your greater career. You’ve been working very hard to bring passion, creativity, and authenticity into your work and your day to day life, Scorpio, and it’s time for that work to start paying off and funneling into your bigger career aspirations. At the same time, you also need to make sure you’re tending to yourself with plenty of self-care, and that your habits and routines are supporting your ability to continually show up for those career goals in the long-term, rather than fizzling out by giving too much too fast.

Sagittarius

Today is all about tending to yourself, Sagittarius. What inner part of you has been needing a little bit of extra attention, or even indulgence? Go out of your way to do something special for yourself today that will help boost your confidence and bring a little bit of pleasure. Whether it be a little treat, spending some time working on a creative project, going on a date, or even just dressing yourself up in something that makes you feel special. Today is a day to romanticize the little details and prioritize joy.

Capricorn

Things are getting ready to shift for you in some big ways, Capricorn. You may feel a strong sense of urgency to wrap some things up or ‘get’ the bigger picture this week, but be sure to slow down and ask yourself where that sense of urgency is coming from and whether it is self-imposed or not. Take today to slow down and make connections between where you are now and the bigger picture you’re working to construct, turning your attention to the foundations and roots of things to determine your own security and ability to grow.

Aquarius

You may be feeling a strong sense of urgency around ‘figuring out’ your finances and resources today, Aquarius. While these are certainly important matters, slow down and reflect on how far you’ve come from old money habits, giving yourself the time and space to honor your own growth. Rather than letting yourself get hung up on solving all your problems in a single afternoon, be present in your surroundings today. Get a cup of coffee with a friend, take a walk around your neighborhood, or go read in a park. It’s a great day to get in a chat with someone and remind yourself of all the little components that create a sense of connectivity and value in your daily life.

Pisces

You’re getting ready to close out a big chapter, Pisces, and you may feel a pressing urge to understand the meaning behind it and how to set the trajectory forward from here. You’ve learned a lot about yourself and your own capabilities over the past few years, and now it’s time to start thinking about what that translates to in relation to your personal values and your own worth and skill sets. You may feel yourself teetering between reality and fantasy today, Pisces, but consider your ability to straddle these two realms, especially with your newfound sense of responsibility and discipline. How can you utilize this sense of maturation and discipline as a means of shaping your fantastical vision around what is possible?
