In the Stars May 25-June 1, 2025 . . . Shining Light on the Astrology of the Week

The Sun is in Gemini where it delights in ideas, connections, and new experiences. Gemini thrives on variety, so plan to change up your life with new and different experiences over the next month.

A New Moon aligns on Monday, May 26, at 6 degrees of Gemini. This New Moon highlights community and communication. Uranus will be at the same place as this New Moon in July and August when it will form a trine with Pluto, and will sextile Saturn and Neptune. This will be a potent combination for ideas, innovations, and information.

In July and August, Uranus will be in Gemini, trine Pluto in Aquarius. Saturn and Neptune will be in Aries, in between Uranus and Pluto in sextile aspect to each. This will be a potent combination for ideas, innovations, and information.

Big news is that Saturn moves into Aries as of today, May 24. Neptune entered Aries on March 30th and now these planets are conjunct at the beginning of the zodiac, in Aries. This combination fosters invention and the resolution of problems, as well as dreams.

Venus is now in Aries through June 7, giving zest for vigorous engagements and more risk taking. Although Venus is pulling away from its trine with Mars, these two planets in fire signs are closely aligned this week, still giving passion, creativity, and appetite for creating fun.

Tuesday, May 27, Mercury trines Pluto. We can solve puzzling issues that perplex us. We dive deep for information and truth.

Wednesday, May 28, is an exuberant, busy day with Jupiter conjunct the Moon. Thoughts and ideas abound.

Friday, May 30, the Leo Moon trines the Saturn/Neptune conjunction, giving a great day to manifest visions and ground ideas.

Saturn is in aspect with Jupiter, Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto. Saturn sextiles Jupiter and Uranus, conjuncts Neptune, and trines Pluto. Saturn sextiles Uranus and will be within 1-3 degrees through February 2026. This is an excellent time to break bad habits and establish good habits. It is a time for breakthrough and building something new.

Moon Void of Course: This is the time when the Moon makes its last major angular aspect with a planet before it moves into the next zodiacal sign tropically. This void time, when the Moon is not aspecting a planet, but rather floating on its own, is a time when things don’t come together and it is difficult to make good decisions. Purchases made during void Moons often turn out to be unsatisfactory and not work out. Appointments often don’t come together, and meetings don’t result in progress or sound, lasting decisions. We more easily get lost or meander in trying to get somewhere. The VoC Moon times for the next month are listed below so that you can plan meetings, decisions, and purchases at times when the Moon is not VoC; and use the void times for gardening, reading, and routine task work.
