Aquarius Weekly Horoscope | May 25th – May 31st, 2026
Aquarians are known for being open-minded and experimental. This creates the impression that you’re a free spirit and will try anything, but actually you have a deliberate process. You’ll suspend judgment in order to test the value of any offer or opportunity, no matter how outlandish, but just because you take something under consideration doesn’t mean you’ve said yes. The Sun/Pluto trine on May 26th shows you deciding to turn something down. This may upset people who assumed you were on board and now feel hurt. You may think you don’t have to explain yourself, but it might be a good idea if you did.

Avoid telling anyone that they’re being “oversensitive” in the three days leading up to the Venus/Saturn square on May 28th and the three days after. If you do, then you’ve no one but yourself to blame for what follows. Capricorns don’t do touchy-feely. You’re far too suspicious that someone’s trying to emotionally manipulate you. It may be true, but it’s not something you want to say. It’s better to ask what’s wrong and to find a comfortable place to hear the other person out. It may seem indulgent, but forty-five minutes of comfort and solace are better than hours of revisiting old slights and fights.

Your emotions are loud and your opinions colorful when there’s a Full Moon in Sagittarius on May 30th. And if people don’t like it, then that’s their problem. You are being true to what you feel! You’re apt to be more expressive than receptive, which means that anyone who wants to talk about their feelings is going to have to crank up the volume. Otherwise, they’re going to get drowned out. It’s true that there’s a tendency to take up all the oxygen in the room, yet it can also be said unequivocally that there is no Full Moon more uplifting when spirits are down.

If Pluto at the bottom of your solar horoscope has taught you anything these past few weeks, it’s not to get bent out of shape just because people got bent out of theirs. It’s odd to think of a Scorpio as becoming more “laid back,” but the simple fact is the world is full of a lot of free-floating anger nowadays, and it’s exhausting. You have no interest in joining the cacophony around you. Indeed, the more you avoid getting drawn into skirmishes, the more status you project. This signals to people that you’re not to be messed with, which means they’ll move on to easier prey.

Saturn in your opposite sign often means you’re on your own, even if you’re in a relationship. And yes, there is such a thing as feeling alone in a relationship. This is something Libras worry about constantly, but in recent months you’ve grown accustomed to your own company. It’s fun doing what you want when you want to or hanging out with friends without a curfew. Libras are never by themselves for long. You’ll always be drawn to some kind of partnership, but there is such a thing as choosing more wisely, and now that you know what you like, that’s exactly what you’ll do.

How is it you can be in charge and still feel like you’re at the beck and call of everyone beneath you? Probably because there’s more to leadership than ordering people around. There’s coaxing, cajoling, times when you have to play tough cop, times when you have to be the good one, and then there’s making the decisions that nobody else wants to make. Virgos don’t usually seek out a position like this. You’re more comfortable working behind the scenes, but now that you’re here, you might as well give it your best shot. And don’t be surprised if you wind up doing better than you thought.

We all have to do things we don’t like to get ahead. Maybe it’s paying your dues, working beside people you don’t like, or flattering a superior to stay in their good graces. We tell ourselves this is how the game is played, but it looks like you’re all played out and can’t continue. It will be hard turning your back on all the prizes dangling in front of you, but the Sun/Pluto trine on May 26th says this is exactly what you must do. And don’t be surprised if this wins the respect of a higher-up who didn’t think you had it in you.

May 28th may feel like you’ve been transported back in time to when your kindergarten friends snubbed you, your high school crush ghosted you, or you were turned down for the first job you ever wanted. Venus/Saturn squares aren’t easy on the heart or the self-confidence, but they teach us to stay present. Whatever you experienced before has nothing to do with what’s going on now, and it’s important to make that distinction. Otherwise, you will always tell yourself that rejection is the story of your life rather than what happens when things don’t work out. There is, and always will be, a next time.

May 26th is perfect for launching a bold venture, taking something you’re working on to the next level, or picking yourself up by the bootstraps and trying again. The Sun/Pluto trine will make you feel like this time you can go the distance. Pluto is a serious business planet and gets you to focus and push in ways you typically wouldn’t. It’s true that Geminis are never at a loss for new ideas, but they don’t always have the stick-to-itiveness to make those ideas a reality. This planetary energy brings the perseverance you’ve always sought, along with the rewards that come from a sustained effort.

You’ve always lived by the maxim “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it,” but that won’t fly in the current climate of move fast and break things. It will be hard to feel like the only person in the room who knows better, but that’s the way things will play out on May 26th when Mars squares Pluto. Not only do the Daisy and Tom Buchanans in your life have the power to wreak havoc, but chances are you’ll have to clean up after their messes as they beat a hasty retreat. And the worst part? Not being able to say “I told you so.”

Aries is famous for its rugged individualism. Your Ruling Planet Mars was named after the Roman god of War, so there’s nothing remotely touchy-feely about you. And with Saturn currently in your sign, it’s a testament to your self-restraint that you don’t laugh at people when they bump into things or roll your eyes when they whimper in pain. Everyone knows you don’t do “soft,” but you’ll need to revisit that on May 28th. This is when a loved one comes seeking solace, support, or approval. Be there for this person because if you’re not, then you’ll regret having missed the chance when you had it.

Things reach the breaking point when belligerent Mars squares relentless Pluto on May 26th. Each planet is in a fixed sign, Mars is in Taurus and Pluto is in Aquarius, which means that neither one is going to back down. Mars is fighting to defend its turf (i.e. the status quo), while Pluto is fighting to bring about the new world order as it sees it. Mars won’t yield until it fends off its opponent, and Pluto won’t stop no matter how far tensions escalate. Power struggles are typical of Mars/Pluto squares, although you may not have the clearest idea of where you stand in all this. Are you insisting on tearing down old structures, perhaps becoming unrelenting and unforgiving in the process? Or are you standing by time-honored traditions without realizing that they may have overstayed their welcome and are due for an overhaul? In the end, you may discover that there’s something to be said for both sides, which is what planetary squares are all about. It’s not about this versus that. It’s about finding a way for the two sides to dovetail.
