New Moon in Gemini - May 26, 2025
On Monday, May 26th, 2025 at 8:02 PM PDT/11:02 PM EDT, the moon begins a new cycle in the inquisitive, curious, perceptive, and open- minded sign of Gemini. This intellectually vibrant and versatile sign adapts swiftly to any circumstance, keenly aware of the rich potential inherent in every moment. Confession: My anticipation for this New Moon has been building for months, as I’ve been eager to explore the expansive potential and experience the possibilities and wonder that this lunation holds.
Since the year’s outset, we’ve had to navigate through some challenging and ‘sticky’ energy. Energy that induced stagnation. Energy that compelled us to retrace our steps. Energy that confused us. Energy that felt arduous to put things into motion. Progress often felt elusive, as if our efforts only led us in circles.
However, with the Sun’s ingress into Gemini on May 20th, this New Moon’s arrival, and the personal planets resuming full momentum, we’re invited to refresh our perspectives, embrace novel ideas, explore new environments, and celebrate the profound gift of conversation and connection. This lunation cultivates a fertile space for genuine flourishing, presenting a potent opportunity to reimagine the spectrum of what’s possible. It is an animating, invigorating energy that beckons us to rediscover a sense of wonder.
Mercury, the messenger of the Gods, and ruler of this New Moon, is particularly active. This planet thrives in Gemini and knows it can zip around as fast as it needs to without worrying about any boundaries. Consequently, you may discover a newfound ease in articulating thoughts, whether in spontaneous conversation, through writing, or other communicative endeavors. Perceiving opportunities and remaining open to alternative approaches will also feel more natural.
Gemini season reminds us of a fundamental truth: words possess immense power, and the lens through which we perceive our circumstances can fundamentally reshape our experienced reality. Expect your mental faculties to feel exceptionally sharp, vibrant, and primed for engagement. This is a splendid juncture to spark conversations with strangers, courageously pose incisive questions, and to embrace the wisdom that comes from further inquiry. It is an ideal time to actively seek situations and experiences that stimulate your intellect and inspire deeper engagement with life. On that note, I'm excited to invite you to a new online women's group run by Jennifer Lotrigel and me. It's called Women's Mysterium. You can read more about it below or by clicking: Here
Welcome this potent influx of fresh new energy, this new beginning, with the same anticipation typically reserved for the New Year. Yet, do so with the profound awareness that this fresh start is thoroughly earned. The preparatory work of recent months, navigating those aforementioned challenges, has equipped you for reinvention and clarified the vision truly worth pursuing. The moment to initiate is upon us, even if its initial stirrings are as subtle as a whisper. There’s an inherent exhilaration in aligning with the universe’s natural rhythms and this lunation offers precisely that opportunity.
Harness this vibrant energy to dismantle rigid thinking and immerse yourself instead in the liberating realms of curiosity and playful exploration - especially concerning areas where you’ve felt blocked, stagnant, or uninspired. This lunation calls for dynamic movement; it invites a courageous dialogue with life itself, and with a version of yourself that’s eager to manifest, speak up, or boldly alter your trajectory.
Mercury isn’t the only planet leaving an impact during this lunation. We also have the structuring presence of Saturn and the visionary currents of Neptune (both now in pioneering Aries), alongside Pluto’s profound transformative power in progressive Aquarius, making their influence known. These alignments will support our capacity for adaptation, innovative thinking, and grounding our visions in reality. This is certainly a New Moon that has the potential to shift our life’s flow for the better. The primary challenge, however, may arise from an overactive mind, overwhelm, or busyness. Life might feel extra stimulating and have you buzzing around. Channeling this extra nervous energy, and cultivating mindfulness will be key to navigating this period effectively.
Further shaping the astrological landscape, Saturn has just entered Aries on May 24th, emphasizing intentional action, personal responsibility, and approaching limitations with courage. Looking ahead, Jupiter’s ingress into Cancer on June 9th will spotlight emotional honesty, growth, and tending to previously underestimated healing and emotional needs. We are invited to open our hearts with greater compassion for ourselves and others. To get an idea of some of the themes you may experience, think back to 12 years ago when Jupiter was last in Cancer.
Meanwhile, mystical Neptune in Aries urges us to dream expansively and assert our visions. While inspiration may abound during this lunation, clarity on how to execute might seem elusive. If so, begin simply: ground your ideas into practical, manageable steps, remembering that small actions accumulate into significant big ones. Saturn, in its capacity as the architect of reality, asks us how badly do we want to manifest these dreams, reminding us that diligent effort is often necessary, and the rewards will justify the endeavor.
As an astrologer, I frequently discuss navigating difficult energies: the wounds we need to face, processing the rug being pulled out from under us, embracing personal transformation, and how to move through pain and suffering. It feels rare to emphasize simply basking in joy. So here it is: immerse yourself in the joy that surrounds you. Indulge in the potent ideas and possibilities that are readily accessible – they aren’t out of reach. Seize them. Embrace optimism, openness, and enjoyment, as if they will never run out. Because they don’t have to. This is a time to say yes to your curiosity, welcome change, engage in thought provoking conversations, and weave new narratives about who we are and the boundless potential that awaits.
