Weekly Love Horoscope for May 12th – 18th, 2025

Hello sweetheart, and welcome to your weekly love horoscope for May 12th – 18th.

After the fairly sedate energies of last week, which hopefully you used productively to improve communication and deepen your relationships, now get ready to apply your shock absorbers, because everyone’s going to be tested.

Right now, situations are more complex and fast-moving. In fact, this is a very dynamic week, and this can influence relationships, family life, and our careers. So, we need to analyze deeply and think clearly.

This is not a time to be flippant or to make decisions on the hoof—everything requires a deeper analysis…

However, the crux is, you can’t always linger, because Sun conjunct Uranus means the action is fast-paced, things develop quickly, and there’s not always time to fully understand a situation.

With Mercury in Taurus square Pluto, one cannot be stubborn. In fact, a stubborn, rigid attitude can be a downfall. So, it’s a case of applying some logic, some intuition to situations, and then making sure you move forward in the best way possible with the information available.

Here’s Your Weekly Love Horoscope for May 12th – 18th:

Aries: Romantic Love Juices 

Now, Venus in Aries trine Mars in Leo is fantastic for the romantic, passionate juices flowing—making this a very good week for Aries to develop love relationships, have date nights, and also have a little bit of fun.

Now, the key in love right now is action. Don’t be passive as a couple—make sure that you’re challenging each other, doing exciting things together, and showing each other a lot of attention, particularly when it comes to affection.

Now, with Mercury in Taurus square Pluto, sometimes there are issues of jealousy, and that can lead to some tension in relationships.

Generally speaking, in love, there is a higher level of intensity, and that means everything’s dialed up. So, feelings are stronger, and therefore, you are more likely to experience things like possessiveness if a relationship isn’t working out.

That’s why it’s very important to problem-solve in relationships—know the weaknesses and don’t be afraid to address them, because there needs to be a certain fearlessness in love right now.

Taurus: The golden question 

This is quite an important, even pivotal, time for Taurus. Sun conjunct Uranus in Taurus means that this is another opportunity for you to understand wherever your life is stagnant, stale, or really not working—and sometimes to take radical steps.

Mercury is moving into Taurus square Pluto, and that means an incisive approach to problems and issues. Look deeper and delve fearlessly into your own psychology and that of your partner to understand issues at a deep level and then to resolve them from that deep level.

This is not a time where you can be superficial—you have to be ready to take chances and ask yourself questions: Why am I doing this? What’s wrong with this relationship? What do I really want?

Because if you ask yourself the right questions, suddenly you begin to get on the right track of finding the solutions. That means not only your life but your relationships can improve—but this all begins by being totally authentic and honest with yourself.

Gemini: The Young and Restless Vibe

Now, with Mars in Leo trine Venus in Aries, this is a particularly curious, restless time for Gemini. You’re more likely to feel bored, and sometimes you can begin to feel a little bit trapped in relationships that are boxing you in.

Mercury in Taurus going square Pluto is also a time when you’re more likely to feel suffocated, and so you really do need to find a space to express yourself and to try new things.

For Gemini, life is all about constantly finding new ways to stimulate yourself, creating variety, trying new things, and moving into new territory. So, to the extent that you and a partner can do that together, it binds you—the relationship becomes stronger, and communication is enhanced as you share wonderful new experiences together.

However, if you and a partner are not really challenging yourselves to experience anything new, this is something you need to address now. Don’t forget, variety is the spice of life. Introduce that variety, and relationships will have more interesting conversations, and you will be on a better track.

Cancer: On Target 

Venus in Aries trine Mars in Leo is a very good time for career and money-making. You may receive a promotion, have a chance to reach a target in terms of your sales, or you may just find more lucrative ways of gaining clients or making money, which is good news and helps your self-confidence.

Now, sometimes other people are a blessing and a curse, and what you need to do right now is know who has your back—especially if you are dating or internet dating, because this can be a minefield. You don’t always know people’s intentions, so reserve judgment, give everyone a fair chance, but don’t be too quick to trust or to put your faith in any one person.

If you are in a marriage, this is also a time you need to detach from friends that have become toxic, because often problems in your relationship may be less to do with you and more to do with the people around you who perhaps are not working in your best interests.

Leo: Manifest a brand new path

Well, Mars is moving through Leo, which means it’s an action phase or competitive time for Leo and a great time to carve out a new path for yourself in life. So, it’s all about being proactive—whether it comes to love or things that will make your life more fulfilling.

That Mars energy gets a dose of luck from Venus, which is in Aries, indicating this is a time of good fortune. So, be sure to employ that positive thinking and to do your manifesting, because these are supercharged.

Now, with Mercury in Taurus square Pluto in Aquarius, this is a great time to enter very unique yet complicated relationships. So, don’t be put off by a new relationship that comes along that seems particularly daunting in terms of the obstacles, because it could be very fulfilling on a spiritual level.

This is also a time when you and an existing partner have to have serious conversations about where the relationship goes next and what the most important things are for you to achieve this year to make sure that your lives are fulfilling and stay on track.

Virgo: Still waters deep ground

Now, this is a time of year when you are particularly analytical. This is an awesome time for making lists, writing a journal, or even doing some dream interpretation. What a fantastic time to get to grips with your subconscious, because so often the things that are going on under the surface can undermine our conscious efforts.

Now, although as a Virgo you are a very pragmatic sign who understands that life is for living and you have to be methodical and systematic, this is a great time to take a dip into the more esoteric side of life.

So, don’t deny your intuition, don’t deny those subtle signals, coincidences, and strange events that could possibly be warning signs or telling you something important.

So, this is a time for high levels of awareness. Don’t focus only on the details and the facts—also focus on the feelings, the gut emotions that you’re experiencing, and try to understand what these are telling you.

Libra: Deep diving 

Now, this week there is some action in your eighth house. What’s more, Pluto is activated in Aquarius, and your creative and passionate nature is certainly aroused. There is a need to gain more from experiences, and so where there is a certain depth or intensity lacking in relationships, it can lead you to ask questions.

Right now, it is very important to understand what’s going on at a psychological level, but it’s also vital that relationships aren’t too superficial. So, in some cases, even if there’s a little bit of intrigue, some mystery, or some drama, that can be a clue to how to take the relationship forward. Some hidden feelings could suddenly come to light—feelings that can shed light on problems and issues and make it easier to navigate.

So, this is a time to be open to information. Don’t close your eyes or bury your head in the sand—things that come to light now are useful for you and can be used to improve both your relationships, your marriage, or the way you respond to others in the dating game. But you have to be fearless in the way you interpret and take hold of that information.

Scorpio: The business of love

Now, with Mercury in Taurus, which represents your seventh house, square Pluto in Aquarius, this is often a time where you and a partner need to make some key decisions. So, it’s very important to make time to come together for discussions—clear the calendar and make sure you approach any discussions with an agenda.

Be serious, be business-like, because right now there are some important hurdles that need to be tackled. So, what you don’t want to do in any relationship is put things off or delay.

This is a time to take things on head-on, whether they are problems or making the most of opportunities, and you need to do that in a way that is quite systematic and methodical. So, the approach you need right now is a level-headed one where you focus on facts and try and put emotion to the side.

Now, this can also be a very good time for initiatives to improve your health. If you’re a couple who want to go on a health kick, lose weight, or get fit, that’s really awesome, and this can also be a great time for those of you who work together, because if you have a strong interest in a business or a certain goal in terms of your career, that can be uniting and help you connect strongly romantically with a co-worker.

Sagittarius: Fearless 

This particular week is one where you need to think outside the box. There can be some surprises when it comes to your regular routines—nothing goes to plan, and I know that kind of suits Sagittarius.

What events now will create for you is a window of opportunity to make changes, perhaps changes you have avoided or felt that it wasn’t really the right time for. This is the perfect time to take advantage of the chaos to jump into some new routines, which can involve you getting to a better work-life balance.

It’s also really important right now that you understand that relationships may be suffering right now because you’ve become bogged down in the minutiae or perhaps you’re thinking too small. It’s in your nature to want to be adventurous and think big, so if you have kind of boxed yourself in in any way right now, break out of that.

Be a little bit fearless, have discussions with your partner that are going to create some momentum for positive change. This can be a great time for brand new relationships, particularly because Venus in Aries is trine Mars, which is in Leo, and relationships at a long distance are particularly favored. However, forming a relationship with a teammate or someone you have a sports interest with is also extremely favorable.

Capricorn: Urgency in love

Now, with Venus in Aries trine Mars in Leo, the earthy, sensual nature of Capricorn is stirred, but not in a slow-burning way—this is more urgent, fiery, and intense. You may find yourself more impulsive than usual when it comes to romantic decisions or expressing affection. That’s not a bad thing! In fact, your spontaneity is quite charming right now, and it may be just what your relationship needs.

However, Mercury square Pluto asks that you stay grounded. Passion is powerful, but don’t allow it to bulldoze your deeper sense of values. This is a week where integrity and accountability matter deeply in relationships.

If something has been festering beneath the surface, especially if it’s tied to resentment, jealousy, or unspoken expectations—it could bubble up now and strangely enough, that’s good news. Once out in the open, these issues can be worked through, transforming something stagnant into something dynamic.

This is also a great week to make changes at home or to initiate a conversation about shared responsibilities in your living space or finances. You’re practical, but now you’re also brave enough to have tough discussions that are often avoided.

This courage is your gift this week—use it wisely. And in dating, remember: you don’t need to impress anyone with status or security. Show your passion, not your resume. The right person will be stirred by your heart, not your portfolio.

Aquarius: Liberate

This week is absolutely electric for you, Aquarius. With the Sun conjunct Uranus in Taurus, your ruling planet is supercharged, shaking up your foundations—especially in family, home life, and personal security.

Expect the unexpected. But don’t fear it. These surprises are designed to liberate you, not destabilize you. There’s a restructuring happening in your inner world, and while it may feel chaotic at first, it’s exactly what’s needed to evolve.

Mercury square Pluto intensifies mental energy. You’re diving deep, and your conversations this week are anything but casual. In relationships, you may suddenly see the truth of someone’s motivations—or your own. Don’t panic…

This is a cosmic intervention to realign you with authenticity. If you’ve been compromising too much or neglecting your emotional needs, now is the time to speak up. Be bold, but be kind.

Venus trine Mars is also giving your romantic life a much-needed jolt of excitement. Your love life doesn’t have to be predictable—nor should it be. If you’re single, someone unusual or wildly different may catch your eye.

If you’re partnered, bring novelty and adventure into your connection—try something new together, take a risk, or talk about a dream you’ve never shared. The key word for love this week is “unconventional.” Embrace it.

Pisces: Your in inner guru

Pisces, your week is all about deep thought and magnetic communication. Mercury square Pluto urges you to look beneath the surface in your relationships and explore the emotions you usually keep hidden.

You’re a sensitive sign, but this week, it’s not enough to *feel*—you need to *say*. Speak your truth with clarity, even if it feels vulnerable. You’ll be surprised by how your honesty draws others closer.

Now, Sun conjunct Uranus in Taurus lights up your house of communication, bringing revelations through dialogue, sudden messages, or even dreams. Don’t ignore your instincts. If you feel prompted to reach out to someone or confront an issue, do it. Your intuition is razor-sharp, and this week it’s wrapped in lightning.

Venus trine Mars, meanwhile, helps you make real-world magic as you’re charming, disarming, and more seductive than you realize. If you’re single, this is a potent time to connect—especially through creative or spiritual communities.

If you’re in a relationship, find your shared rhythm again. Talk, laugh, dance, dream—just don’t let silence build walls. Romantic energy is passionate and supportive now, but only if you’re courageous enough to be emotionally honest.

This week, let your inner mystic take the lead—but keep one foot on the ground. That balance of vision and reality is your superpower right now.

Summary

This week delivers powerful transformations, spontaneous breakthroughs, and intense emotional depth in love and life. The Sun conjunct Uranus in Taurus brings surprises, sudden insights, and the urge to break free from limitations, especially in relationships and personal identity. Expect the unexpected, and prepare to pivot quickly.

Mercury in Taurus squares Pluto in Aquarius, demanding deeper thinking, fearless truth-seeking, and mental clarity. Stubbornness won’t work—this is a time to dig beneath the surface, examine your motives, and stay flexible. Jealousy and control issues may surface, particularly in love, making communication essential.

In contrast, Venus in Aries trine Mars in Leo injects passion, excitement, and romantic courage. This aspect sparks chemistry, encourages boldness in love, and supports spontaneous attraction. It’s also great for reigniting fun and intimacy in established relationships. Take action—don’t wait for love to find you.

Overall, this is a pivotal week of awakening and initiation. Act from your truth, embrace radical honesty, and use emotional intensity as a fuel for breakthroughs—not breakdowns. Bold, brave, and slightly wild—this week’s energy favors those willing to shake things up and move forward, no matter how unconventional the path.

Key words for the week:

Awakening, New ideas, Forwarned forearmed, Psychology, Attraction and affection, Analysis, Trouble shooting
