Taurus Monthly Horoscope May 2025

Pluto Retrograde in Aquarius in the 10th House for a Taurus Ascendant

On a general sense of Pluto retrograding in Aquarius, which is the natural 11th house of the zodiac, uproars happen in the realm of technology and humanity. When we narrow it down to the effects on Taurus, it focuses on career.

When Pluto, a planet that has entered into the 10th house of Taurus natives, here to stay for a lengthy ride until 2043 goes retrograde, you are getting one final chance to reconsider your career path.

Are you happy with where you are, who you are working with and what your everyday work involves? The sooner you are honest with yourself, the faster you will be able to make progress in the right path. If you choose to remain silent about your true wants and needs, Pluto will do the deed for you, on your behalf, and remove you from the place of non-growth.

To undertake a true assessment of your career, imagine yourself down the same road for the next 10 years. Really, do it. Close your eyes and think that you are in the same role and field for the next 10 years. If it makes you happy, stick to the position. If it is not exciting, please start finding new roles.

Sometimes Pluto retrogrades are so potent, that you could be suddenly fired. So, beware. This also applies if you are refraining from responsibilities. If you have pending work to complete, get started on it. It is better to quit a job that you dislike, than to be fired unexpectedly.

Mercury enters Taurus in the 1st House for a Taurus Ascendant

Fast and furious vs. slow and steady is the situation that Mercury presents, to a Taurus individual. A person born with their Sun sign being Taurus, likes to deal with things calmly. They like to plan things over multiple times, ensure perfection and then get going. Mercury is a planet that is fast, and although it is detail oriented and ensures perfection in every task, it does not nearly take as much time as Taurus takes.

Taurus also means luxury and comfort, whereas Mercury doesn't care about the state of the environment, but rather flexibility and newness. So, when dislike for change is confronted by change every single day, the person experiencing this transit, has to brace for subtle, yet incremental transitions over the period that Mercury resides in Taurus.

Change is good when it is in moderation and to the level that our mind is able to accept. When change is bound to happen, it is better to adjust your mind to accept it. Prepare for whatever is ahead with confidence and strength.

When your own self-confidence and self-image are bound to take a hit, because of your decision-making, hand-over the decision-making to another trusted individual. There are career coaches and leadership trainings that you could take, to make yourself and your character speak to the next level, at your workplace. If knowledge is hard to gather from your mentors, you could invest time in taking short courses that are self-paced and online to further yourself.

Another feature that will be highlighted during this period is your preference to stability and security over risky new adventures. Although, if there is an interesting opportunity coming your way, make sure that you are not being too stubborn. If someone is arguing with reason, listen before you answer or commit. If possible say yes to new things, that might seem uncomfortable at first.

Whatever the transformation that is coming upon you, clear out the excess in your mind by mindfulness and journaling, creating more space for accepting the changes that are coming.

Full Moon in Scorpio in the 7th house for a Taurus Ascendant

Relationships and partnerships are highlighted as the Scorpio full moon happens in your 7th house. The 7th house and the 1st house are in the same axis and often present a tug of war situation. When you would have just solved a 1st house issue, the 7th house starts pulling. You are supposed to find the perfect balance between self and another.

Scorpio is mysterious. It is what is brewing underneath the surface. It is what no one openly talks about. It is like still water that you cannot make out the source of. You have to put your hand in and take a leap of faith in order to understand the whole picture.

Luckily a Full Moon is illumination. What you cannot discern in the darkness, the moon lights it up for you, providing a sneak preview of the matter. Anything that comes up relationship related or a business partnership related, know that it is the result of your past style communication and dealing. If you would like to change up the routine and present a new you, with your new self that you have been working on through the pasts months, catch up for a coffee and a one-on-one session to discuss and lay all the cards on the table. Let them get some illumination too!

Know that this conversation stays valid for another 6 months, before you will be due for another checkup owing any misunderstandings or new terms and conditions - so take you time and carve out a good afternoon post lunch to discuss everything business, and into the night with the special person!

Sun enters Gemini in the 2nd House for a Taurus Ascendant

The second house is naturally the house of income and assets. When Sun enters Gemini, a Taurus ascendant will definitely see a spike in their income. Maybe you start a subtle side hustle which gives you an extra income every week! These days it is so easy to sign up for Uber delivery or signing yourself up as a tutor, helping students part-time. Side hustles are happening and they could happen for you this month, if you are willing to take the effort.

For the next tier of individuals, this could manifest as a raise in your company or even lucky, buying a new asset or renting it out which provides you with rental income.

2nd house is also known for family. Both good things and bad things will be highlighted, and if there are unresolved issues in your family, it will come to light and require your hands of repair. Sometimes people dont talk their issues out loud, for us to easily understand - they go quiet. An expert level empathy might be needed to unlock that family member's true feelings.

If life offers you a few chances to indulge in great food and some toxic fantasies, go ahead and enjoy - you can crush up some ginger and make a concoction to cleanse your system later - but enjoy for now!

If security, particularly financial security has been your main concern for the past few months, this month will guide you to find peace with your situation and ways to tackle the expenses. I did mention that it is a time of indulgence, but be careful to not overspend. Life always gives some pleasures to see if you take it, before making you realize that you shouldn't.

Saturn enters Aries in the 12th House for a Taurus Ascendant

We are stuck in life most of times by our own vision clouded by thoughts that are outdated and skills we don't improve. Life seems impossible when we lose hope. Hope is a very important concept, even for people who do not believe in god. Everyone has to believe in something - it could the people around, the job they do, the goals they have, or the life they imagine for their children. That is what keeps us going in this world of enigma.

We lose track of who we are and why we are here, and every 29.5 years approximately, Saturn returns to one's 12th house to remind you who you are, as a soul. If you have lost hope, Saturn makes you embark on a disciplined journey to gain your hope back.

The kind of tests that Saturn will put you through involves, the figuring out of how much you are willing to push yourself to change. People change only due to 3 main reasons, which include health, finance and loneliness. Depending on the karmic baggage that you are carrying with you, what weighs on you the most, you will be made to experience solitude with or without people, financial weakness due to overspending and health ailments that force you to relax and unwind (could be physical or mental ailments).

The point of Saturn forcing these changes is for you to build your inner and exterior strength, so that you can help out other people. It is a great blessing to have a mindset to accept changes, which many people struggle to do. Once you garner the strength, you will then embody the change in you, when Saturn moves into your 1st house - unless you failed the 12th house test.

Whatever Saturn brings as a challenge your way, fight back with a strong belief and faith - and you will be rewarded. Changes will be slow, so nothing sudden is going to happen - just be prepared for some inner conflicts and resolutions that make you a better person moving forward. The world needs you in your purest, most authentic form and that is what the test aims to get.

Mercury enters Gemini in the 2nd House for a Taurus Ascendant

Mercury moves into Gemini, its own house, signifying all things money related are going to go well because of your most eloquent communication. If you are an introvert, who believes that energy gets expended way too much because of social interaction, you are going to see yourself change, as Mercury makes you socialize.

If you have any upcoming projects that you are hoping to go well, ensure that you work on it in a detailed manner, and bring all people necessary to listen to your pitch and then network post presentation to create the impression that will make you win. If you are about to embark on a property related venture or a family related goal, ensure that you double and triple check the information on papers before signing anything, as Mercury makes you hasty.

Watch out for tendencies of being over competitive, or over confident, as Mercuries ability to research and collect information, as well as network and know people could make you less humble. Do not lose opportunities because of a word that slipped out, that you didn't intend. Measure your words carefully.

Some people could cause problems during this time, where your excess knowledge could make them jealous and just to stir you, they might try and ask you questions, knowing that you don't know about that topic. Bring your sportive tendencies forward and don't let your ego get hurt. As much as you believe you are the most important person, it is simply not true. Give everyone the respect and appreciation they deserve and they will not come your way.

New Moon in Gemini in the 2nd House for a Taurus Ascendant

The last of the Gemini activations for the month comes as a New Moon. The sun in Gemini and Mercury in Gemini, would have definitely brought to surface issues that need tending to. Be proactive and note down what needs working. A financial planner, a property research list, an emotional journal as well as healthy food and recipe journaling are going to come in handy for you this new moon.

Sate each problem, the priority level and your strategy to address them. Be honest with what you can and can't do. Do not set goals that are not attainable. If possible discuss issues that are weighing on your mind with a confidant.

Within 2 weeks, if you take proper resolutions, you would be able to see that your problems start to untangle and sort themselves. You might also start getting help from your family - just make sure any ego doesn't stand in the way of being vulnerable.

New Moon are a sign that something new will blossom if the person is willing to put in the effort. Even if you do not see something changing or moving as soon as, as the moon grows in size, with more and more illumination, you will see growth in the area that you laid you effort.

Goodluck Taurus, See you in June!
