Leo Monthly Horoscope May 2025: Top 5 Important Things
Okay folks, buckle up. Wanted to share my process for that Leo May 2025 horoscope piece since some of you asked how I put it together. Started this whole thing after noticing my Leos kept hitting the same walls around careers and relationships. Figured I’d track planetary movements more systematically this time.
Dusting Off The Charts
First thing I did? Cleared my damn desk. Dug out last year’s astrology journals – pages were stuck together from spilled coffee, classic. Flipped to May 2024 transits first. Jupiter was doing circus tricks back then. Noticed Leo rising folks kept mentioning sudden job changes right when Uranus hit their 10th house in ‘24. Made a note: track that pattern for 2025.
Plugging Numbers Into Software
Fired up Solar Fire next. My laptop fan screamed like a banshee – needs replacing badly. Ran the charts for May 2025 with New York coordinates since most subscribers are EST. Almost choked when Saturn’s position popped up. That sucker’s camping in Pisces, squaring Leo placements all month. Immediately remembered Karen, my Leo client who launched her bakery during a similar aspect in 2021. Total disaster until the retrograde ended. Paused the software and wrote in my notebook: “WARNING: Saturn speed bumps ahead.”
Coffee Shop Field Research
Needed real-life validation though. Headed to that 24-hour diner near Union Square where Leo servers work night shifts. Bought three overpriced coffees just to chat with Marcus, a Leo sun bartender there. His May plans? Investing savings into crypto. Told him about Venus in Gemini trining Jupiter that week. “Dude,” he dropped a coffee cup, “That’s exactly when my buddy promised 100% returns!” Scribbled that in my margin as a cautionary tale for point #4.
Surprise Mercury Twist
Finished drafting everything Wednesday night. Went to publish and – power outage. Whole block went dark. Sat cussing in the glow of my dying laptop battery. Suddenly realized: Mercury goes retrograde mid-May. Had completely spaced the shadow period starting May 7th. Rewrote the whole communication section by candlelight, adding that story about tech failures. Lesson? Always triple-check Mercury.
Final Cut
Sent the draft to my two Leo cousins as guinea pigs. Cousin Mike replied immediately: “You nailed #5 about avoiding impulse purchases but why no love life stuff?” Checked the Venus placement again. Added relationship notes last minute when the power came back. Final five points ended up:
- Saturn pressure at work demanding patience
- Jupiter luck expansion timing on May 11th-14th
- Solar eclipse effects on friendships
- Mercury Rx tech dangers starting May 7th
- Mars/Pluto clashes triggering reckless spending
Published it raw, typos and all. Woke up to 37 DMs about Marcus’ crypto warning. Guess Leo season drama starts early in 2025.
