May 25-31, 2025

This is an incredibly Mercurial week, and not just because of the Gemini New Moon on Monday night. Moon’s passage through Gemini is engaging with nearly every planet, and Mercury’s additional engagements, including its synodic return with Sun, present us with a week to remember. The initiations that manifest from the imaginations of our hearts begin to take shape and reveal themselves to us, and how we feel about what is emerging has to be reckoned with and taken into serious consideration. This is a formidable week to build confidence through embracing our identity and recognizing the value of facing our insecurities for the sake of breaking free from the chains that keep us from expressing ourselves entirely.

Moon in Taurus square Mars in Leo

Mercury in Gemini sextile Saturn in Aries

We are all probably going to be feeling especially proud of our own opinions and ideas today, stubborn to open up to the possibility that someone else might not only have better ideas, but also know more than we do about something. This can feel frustrating on the receiving end, but righteous on the giving end. We should check our humility at the door and lay down any ego-centric obsessions we have with ourselves. Someone may even call us out on this and put us where we belong. On the sunny side of the street, and if we exercise humility and respect, we can stand strong in our convictions and feel compelled to speak up for anyone whose voice may be silenced or suppressed. It’s a bold and righteous day that commands modesty and selflessness.

*New Moon at 6° Gemini at 11:02pm EDT*

As the balsamic Moon approaches its synodic return with Sun, it makes an array of significant alignments with five planets, activating a range of opportunities to communicate our thoughts, ambitions, and even metaphysical revelations. It can feel as though we need to make final lasting impressions and tie up any loose ends before moving forward with our ambitions and intentions. There is a sparkling excitability leading up to this New Moon, spurring eccentric conversations and inquisitiveness. As the afternoon leads into the evening, these proclivities will seem to accentuate, inspiring our restless minds. This new Gemini lunation calls us to task and might influence us to seek a more sociable lifestyle. Our neighbors and local friends might come knocking more often, or we might wish to engage them in our lives more. There are lessons, and wisdom within those lessons, to be gained through all of this sparkling excitement, so let’s go run and see!

Mercury in Gemini trine Pluto in Aquarius

Moon in Gemini sextile Mars in Leo

Moon in Gemini sextile Venus in Aries

Sparks may fly today, for better or worse, taking us into conceivably transmutational places through our interactions with others. We can make great strides in our ambitious creative ventures, financial matters, and even our efforts to achieve greater autonomy. We can make enormous progress sharing our thoughts with others and expressing our feelings about contrasting views and perspectives. It is good to remember there is usually more than one way to accomplish something, so if we have to collaborate with someone, we should remain conscious of this throughout that process. It is an energetic day for engaging in and observing our relationships with others, so we can put down our guard and open up our hearts to dance a happy chatty dance with those we meet and love.

Moon in Gemini square its nodes

Moon conjunct Jupiter in Gemini

Moon in Cancer square Saturn in Aries

Moon in Cancer square Neptune in Aries

Here comes expansion and inspiration! Seeing how far we might be able to go with what we have learned over the past few days might be pretty exciting today. Much of what may have been born during Monday’s New Moon in Gemini is beginning to take shape and be revealed to us. Can we recognize what we set into motion? Can we see it expanding and growing into what we hoped it would become? The growth therein may be quite inspiring to see, but we are going to have to reckon with the glacial, albeit prudent, need to emotionally align with these processes. We may begin to feel uneasy about how things are unfolding, whether it is what we truly want or if it will actually work out for the best in the long run. In short, we can begin to doubt what we thought we were certain about. But this is a good exercise to determine our sincerity and dedication to whatever may be happening.

*Mercury conjunct Sun in Gemini (cazimi)*

Today’s nearly exact syzygy between Earth, Sun, and Mercury instills a highly charged culmination of Mercury’s influences over the past few days. This can bring on numerous Hermetic influences, such as trickery and deception, important transactions and trading, as well as pertinent messages and negotiations. We should be privy to what we hear, what is being implied, and because Moon is in emotionally sensitive Cancer we should also pay close attention to our intuition and instincts. There are always subtleties that expose truths we might not otherwise notice. Insight into how we might more truly express ourselves is available to us. We should also not be surprised if we experience some mental overwhelm and fatigue today and tomorrow, because these synodic returns can exacerbate our mental functions. Because of this, it might be a good idea to immerse our bodies in water or in the surroundings of a quiet and tranquil forest.

Moon in Leo trine Saturn in Aries

Moon in Leo trine Neptune in Aries

Moon in Leo opposite Pluto in Aquarius

Moon is almost always making numerous alignments, but today’s activations with six planets can bring about a pivotal moment in the waxing journey it is imbuing our life with. From our emotional sensitivities to our pain and trauma to the elevation of our consciousness to boundary issues to our divine connection to the metamorphosis we must undergo to emerge more liberated than we have ever been before. Of course, we are surely not going to journey through all of these trials throughout this single day, but if we were to film our entire day and record our thoughts through all of it, we might notice subtle inferences to these areas of our lives. Most importantly, we are finding more confidence in ourselves to express how we feel, what we desire, and our own creative identity. How might we enjoy the moments in our life more? What shadows are cast over this joy, and how did they get there?

Moon in Leo sextile Mercury in Gemini

A fitting aspect to ignite in us an excitable magic that spurs us toward more authentic personal expression and comfortability in front of the eyes of the world. These moments are sacred to how we find confidence and courage to be ourselves despite external influences. We might feel inclined to use our voice to get our points across, stand up for ourselves, or even teaching our knowledge to strangers for the first time. Stage fright is experienced by over 80% of performers, so we must understand we are not alone in our insecurities. They are there to face and conquer, and once we conquer them, we feel incredibly liberated and more confident than ever before. While this challenge may continue to occur, and we may feel the pain of failure again, each time we are loosening the chains that bind us. May we all eventually become free of those chains!

While each and every day can feel like a challenge and a struggle sometimes, these feats are so important to face and overcome. In doing so, we find confidence and encouragement to be proud of our unique identity. Recognizing how sacred it is for everyone to be different from everyone else is a learning process that we can tap into this week. Whether we are already strong and bold or we are timid and shy, this is the type of growth we will likely encounter this week. Feeling through our emotional experiences, and making time to dissect those feelings, can reveal to us exactly what may be getting in our way and oppressing the distinct, divine magician within each of us.
