Aries Monthly Love Horoscope

Fiery, flamboyant and full-on spring-fevered? Please and thank you, Aries. If March and April’s retrogrades through your sign left your spring awakening in hibernation, you can make up for lost time in May. Love planets Venus and Mars are dancing a passionate paso doble all month long—one that could spin your romantic life into a sultry fairy tale.  

On April 30, ardent Venus barreled back into your sign and blesses you with her seductive powers until June 6. Desires that felt unquenchable while the love planet was retrograde in Aries from March 1 to 27—or ones that started to gather steam when Venus first swooped into your sign from February 4 to March 1—may flood over you now. This month, you’re not letting anything stem that tide. With the love planet back in your corner, you’re clear-eyed, self-assured and more than ready to write the next chapter of your love story. 

Did you build a dam around your heart? Start deconstructing it now. How? By putting the focus back onto your own radical self-acceptance. Although people-pleasing Venus is in an uncomfortable “detriment” in your independent sign, there’s a silver lining. Seize May as a month to heap nonstop self-love upon yourself. Get real about what makes YOU feel like your truest, proudest Aries self. The frequency of authenticity is the most attractive one of all. “Just be yourself” may sound like oversimplified advice. Turns out, it’s a sound strategy for amour.

Adding to the magic is your ruler, lusty Mars, who spends all of May in one of the hottest positions possible—Leo and your fifth house of raw, animal passion. Your most pressing love concern may be whether to go full-glam and dress up for a luxurious date or peel off the fabric and undress instead. Yes, you might feel a little thirsty in moments. Carnal desire could overwhelm you this May.

Circle May 22 in bright red ink. Cosmic lovebirds Venus and Mars form a rare and radiant trine, syncing up your heart and libido in the most cinematic of ways. If you’ve been tiptoeing around your truth, words could tumble out before you have a chance to stop them. C’est la vie, Aries. In May your love language can be spoken through bold declarations, over-the-top gestures and in some cases, unapologetic ultimatums to whoever is dragging you through a “will they or won’t they” situationship.

Coupled Rams have a chance to revive the spark with a partner in playful ways. Dive into a creative project together but also make plenty of time to let your hair down as a pair. Novelty is an aphrodisiac, not just because you’re an adventurous Aries, but also because it produces dopamine. Spike up those neurotransmitters together and you might just wind up in bed again after a dry spell.  

But a word of caution: fire sign transits can ignite and combust just as fast. If a connection flares up and then fizzles, resist the urge to re-fan a flame that isn’t keen to burn. The right people won’t just get the memo—they’ll match your vivacious energy with full-bodied enthusiasm.
