On May 26, 2025, 11:02 PM EST, a New Moon at 6º05’ of Gemini encourages us to welcome change and offers us an opportunity to renovate the way we are used to thinking, speaking, and perceiving our reality. This event emphasizes the power of our thoughts, words, and attention and invites us to notice how the stories we tell ourselves shape our world and our experience of it.
The Gemini New Moon is especially significant for those of us with natal placements in the early degrees of Mutable signs (Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius, and Pisces). The individuals personally impacted by this New Moon are being called to embrace a new mindset, see their reality from a new perspective, and discover new avenues for learning.
New Moon in Gemini: Invitation to Welcome Change
Every month, New Moons offer us an opportunity to start fresh: a new lunar cycle is starting to unfold, the energy inspires renewal and change, and the momentum gradually rises for the upcoming two weeks. As the Sun and the Moon meet in the Mutable sign of Gemini, the invitation for us is to stay curious, cultivate versatility, and be open to new perspectives and experiences.
We are entering a lunar month focused on discovering new ways of thinking, communicating, and relating to our environment and other people. The Gemini New Moon encourages us to welcome change, welcome diversity, welcome novelty, and see every experience as an opportunity to learn more about ourselves, the world, and life. This event invites us into a state of openness, challenges us to question outdated assumptions, and reminds us that learning doesn’t only happen in school or in a classroom, that every day is filled with opportunities to learn something new.
Holding the Tension of Duality, Paradox, and Contradiction
The Tarot card associated with Gemini is the Lovers: beyond the romantic symbolism, this card points at the connection of Gemini with the inner marriage, the integration of the masculine and feminine within. Symbolized by the Twins, Gemini correlates to our relationship with both internal and external duality. The dual nature of this sign emphasizes the importance of dialogue and the need to develop an ability to hold and make peace with paradox, duality, and complexity.
This Gemini New Moon is an opportunity to become more aware of our inner dialogue, of how all the different parts of our psyche communicate between them, of the voices that tend to take over and the voices we have silenced, more or less unconsciously. Gemini teaches us that contradiction can become conversation, and that conflict can lead to dialogue and understanding: this event encourages us to listen with curiosity rather than judgment. A core theme of the upcoming lunar cycle will be the integration and reconciliation of contrasting, contradictory energies within ourselves and in our lives.
New Moon conjunct Mercury and Uranus
The Gemini New Moon is conjunct with Mercury, the ruler of Gemini, and, more widely, with Uranus in the late degrees of Taurus. Mercury’s proximity to the Sun and the Moon in its domicile emphasizes the prominence of Gemini’s energy and the invitation to renovate our relationship with our minds and the dualities within and without. These alignments support our adaptability and flexibility, encourage us to think outside the box, and favor the emergence of new ideas, insights, and inventions.
The activation of Mercury is an opportunity to set intentions around expressing ourselves more clearly, refining our communication skills, and beginning new learning journeys. The emphasis on Gemini energy supports our efforts in breaking free from outdated narratives and thinking patterns, and encourages us to explore new mindsets and ways of perceiving reality.
The proximity between the New Moon and Uranus can bring unexpected flashes of insights and sudden shifts in perspective. The planet of innovation and rebellion activates our need to break free from the known and the familiar and explore the unfamiliar, the unconventional, and the unusual. Just weeks before Uranus’ first ingress into Gemini, the invitation for us is to open our minds and reimagine what is possible.
New Moon trine Pluto, sextile Saturn and Neptune
The New Moon, the Sun, and Mercury in Gemini are harmoniously aligned with Pluto in Aquarius and Saturn and Neptune, almost exactly conjunct in Aries. These alignments support our ability to manifest our ideas and visions into form as well as our intuitive and perceptive skills.
The trine between the Moon and Pluto can help us access a deeper emotional intelligence, transform the way we relate to our emotions, and see objectively what is moving within us. Pluto’s activation adds more intensity and depth to the upcoming lunar cycle and allows us to access what is beneath the surface, what is truly driving our actions, and gain an understanding of our unconscious intentions and motivations.
Saturn’s sextile to the New Moon contributes to grounding the abundant Gemini energy, that tends to live in the world of ideas, and motivates us to materialize our visions on the earth plane with commitment and intention. In Aries, Saturn helps us access the courage that takes to embark on a new path, commit to something new, and take responsibility for ourselves and for taking action on our desires.
Meanwhile, Neptune’s alignment with the Sun and the Moon expands our psychic and emotional sensitivity and adds a dreamy, delicate, and poetic energy to our mental landscape. The activation of Neptune reminds us to pay attention to synchronicities, dreams, and subtle cues from the Universe. This is a beautiful aspect for dreamwork, poetic writing, journaling, and visualization. Neptune’s sextile to the New Moon reminds us of the importance of finding harmony between being attuned to our rational mind and tuning into the collective emotional body. This aspect highlights our need to transcend the mundane and rational dimensions of life and connect with higher realms.
New Moon in Gemini: Asking New Questions
The Gemini New Moon begins a lunar month focused on asking new questions and striving to access a new level of understanding. This event invites us to see our reality from a new angle, to establish a new relationship with our minds and with our multidimensional and multifaceted nature. We are being reminded that every new beginning starts with a shift in awareness: around this time, we have an opportunity to question the stories we tell ourselves and explore how changes in the language we use impact our experience of reality.
The New Moon in Gemini helps us access an observational awareness that does not imply judgment but rather invites curiosity. This is a potent time to reflect on the power of language, the power of our minds, and the importance of being conscious of the impact of our self-talk and the ongoing dialogue between our parts. We have an opportunity to rewrite old inner scripts and embrace new perspectives and mindsets.
