Astrological Forecast for May 2025 – Major Planetary Shifts and Their Influence on Libra Rising
May 2025 marks a significant month in astrology, as three major celestial bodies—Jupiter, Saturn, and Rahu—make important movements that will deeply influence your astrological chart, especially if your ascendant is in Libra. Here’s how these planetary shifts are likely to affect you:
Rahu (North Node of the Moon) – the ruler of the 5th house, which governs children, followers, creativity, and new ventures for Libra ascendants – will transit into Aquarius and settle in the 5th house, attaining its exalted dignity (“Kshetra Adhipati”) on May 5, 2025. This marks a turning point that may bring exciting new opportunities into your life. You could find yourself inspired to launch new projects or business ventures. This transit may also open up new income streams or even herald the start of a new romantic relationship.
Jupiter (Guru) – the ruler of the 3rd house (communication, siblings, short trips, and social circles) and the 6th house (obstacles, conflicts, health) for Libra ascendants – will move into Gemini and take position in your 9th house (house of fortune, higher learning, long journeys, and life philosophy) on May 13, 2025. This transit brings a wave of positive energy and forward momentum into your life. You are likely to see growth and advancement, particularly in areas related to personal development, higher education, or expansion in your career.
However, since Jupiter also rules the house of conflicts and health, some work-related disputes or challenges might arise and need your attention.
Furthermore, from October 2 to December 23, 2025, Jupiter will speedily transit into Cancer and enter your 10th house of career. Here, Jupiter reaches its highest exalted state, which can lead to remarkable success, recognition, and progress in your profession or business during this time.
Saturn (Shani) – the ruler of the 4th house (home, family, real estate, and emotional security) for Libra ascendants – will transit into Pisces and occupy your 6th house (conflicts, stress, and health issues) on May 19, 2025. This shift may bring tension or worry surrounding matters related to your home, family, or overall sense of stability. You might feel burdened with responsibilities or face challenges in maintaining your emotional or domestic balance.
However, if you remain resilient and determined, you will be able to overcome these issues.
Interestingly, on August 23, 2025, Saturn will retrograde back into Aquarius and return to your 5th house, potentially bringing renewed strength and stability to your home, family, and property-related matters.
