The honest horoscope
Leo horoscope for May 2027
Leo, May is mixed, split between two parts of life: career and standing, and friends and hopes. On 6 May the new Moon is tense for career and standing. From 15 May Venus is neutral for career and standing. From 9 to 28 May Mercury is supportive for friends and hopes, and so is the Sun from 21 May. The month’s main tense date is 9 May, when Pluto turns retrograde, for partners and agreements. On 20 May the full Moon is tense for home and family. All month Saturn stays neutral for travel and study, while Jupiter, in Leo itself, is supportive.
