Weekly Astrology Overview: May 26 – June 1, 2025
Book cover by F.A Pouchet ca. 1896
This week begins with the Gemini New Moon, planting the seed of a new intellectual and communicative cycle. The focus is on thought, language, and the way we process and share ideas. As Mercury forms a trine to Pluto on Tuesday, we are offered a powerful opportunity to engage in conversations of impact. This aspect strengthens mental focus and brings depth to the way we speak and listen. The early part of the week supports writing, reflection, and the kind of dialogue that brings something important into clearer focus.
Midweek, the Moon moves through Cancer, drawing attention inward. This is a time for nostalgia, rest, and care; for yourself and for others. Emotional responses may deepen, especially when memory is stirred. You may be more aware of what matters to you or more protective of the people and places that remind you of home. Cancer’s strength shows through its sensitivity and ability to respond to what needs care. These days offer a chance to reconnect with your history, to notice what holds meaning, and to care for it in small, steady ways.
By the weekend, the Moon in Leo encourages fuller participation and presence. The emphasis is on living more directly from what brings joy, meaning, and emotional vitality to your life. On Friday, the Sun and Mercury meet in a conjunction that settles the mind and brings attention to the voice within. As the Moon shifts into Virgo Sunday night, the tone moves toward preparation and focus. This week begins with clarity, moves through memory, and ends with a quiet return to intention.

IDEAS READY TO GROW – Monday, May 26, 2025
The important Gemini New Moon arrives at 6 degrees Gemini, exact at 11:03 pm EDT. A New Moon is a conjunction of the Sun and Moon, marking the start of a new lunar cycle. The Moon speaks to our inner world, while the Sun points to our conscious direction. This is a time to consider how private desires and public purpose may begin to align.
Locate the house in your natal chart that contains Gemini. This is where a new cycle is beginning. In this area of your life, ask yourself what seed you are ready to plant. In Gemini, that seed may take the form of a question, an idea, a new conversation, or a change in how you gather and exchange information. Prepare to nurture what begins now over the weeks to come.
The focus today remains on communication, learning, and shifting patterns of thought. Let curiosity lead without needing to arrive at conclusions. You may find clarity in conversation, journaling, or simply thinking aloud. Keep things light where possible. Let ideas move and take shape without trying to define them too quickly.
At 4:36 pm EDT, Mercury forms a sextile with Neptune. This brings an opportunity to join logic with intuition. Listen more deeply—not just to what is said, but to what lives between the words. Symbolic language, dreams, music, and metaphor may carry more weight than usual. You may be drawn to spiritual study, creative writing, or quiet contemplation. Let inspiration come to you.
- What idea or inquiry is ready to take root in my life?
- Where is my curiosity inviting me to explore or open something new?
- How can I attune my thinking to what lies beneath the surface of words?
THE WEIGHT OF WORDS – Tuesday, May 27, 2025
The Moon continues in Gemini, keeping the day mentally active and open to exchange. The mood is quick, curious, and alert. Because the Moon is still in the sign of yesterday’s New Moon, the themes of new ideas and fresh perspectives are still taking shape. Today, you may begin to notice which thoughts keep returning and which questions are beginning to form intentions. Stay with them. They are showing you where energy is gathering.
At 1:56 p.m. Eastern, Mercury forms a trine to Pluto. This is a powerful gift. When Mercury connects with Pluto in this way, we are offered the chance to speak with greater impact and to listen beneath the surface. Your thoughts carry weight today. Your words can shape outcomes. If you’ve been holding something in or circling something important, this is a day to name it.
This aspect sharpens the mind and strengthens the voice. It brings focus. It brings courage. It helps you cut through the noise and get to the point. Let your communication come from a place of self-respect and clarity.
- What thoughts return, asking me to pay attention?
- Where in my life is it time to speak with depth instead of caution?
- How can I use today’s clarity to say something that needs to be said?
TURNING INWARD – Wednesday, May 28, 2025
The Moon begins the day in Gemini, keeping the focus on conversation, information, and connection. If something remains unfinished from the past two days, you may feel a quiet urge to complete it this morning. This is a good time to tie up loose ends or check in with someone before the mood begins to shift.
At 1:32 p.m. Eastern, the Moon enters Cancer, and the tone becomes more inward. Where Gemini engages through the mind, Cancer listens through feeling. You may notice a softening in yourself or in others. There is a pull toward home, toward what is familiar, toward what feels safe. Let the afternoon bring a quieter rhythm. Cook a meal. Make space for rest. Reach out to someone you trust. The coming days support emotional steadiness and the simple act of tending to what matters.
- What unfinished conversation or project is ready to be completed?
- How best can I slow down and reconnect with loved ones this afternoon?
- What is one concrete thing I can do today to bring comfort or stability to myself or someone I care about?
THE POWER OF SENSITIVITY – Thursday, May 29, 2025
The Moon moves steadily through Cancer today, encouraging a quieter, more inward rhythm. This is a time for tending to what is close to the heart: your inner life, your home environment, and the people or routines that help you feel connected. There is no need to push forward. Let care shape your choices, even in small ways. That might mean resting instead of producing, cooking something simple and nourishing, or checking in with someone you trust.
Cancer is often misunderstood in a culture that undervalues emotional intelligence. But this is a cardinal sign, rooted in instinct and strong in its loyalty to what matters. Its sensitivity is not a weakness, it is a strength that protects, remembers, and responds. Today’s energy invites you to notice what stirs your emotions and to treat that response with respect. Look to the past if you feel drawn there. Open the old photo album. Call someone who holds part of your history. Return to the stories that shaped you. What you feel most deeply points you toward what you most need to care for now.
- What part of my emotional life is asking for attention or protection today?
- How can I offer care in a way that reinforces strength, not avoidance?
- What story, memory, or connection from the past still shapes how I move forward?
LIGHT OF MIND – Friday, May 30, 2025
In the early hours of this morning, the Sun and Mercury form a conjunction, beginning a new cycle between awareness and communication. Think of this as resetting your mind. Whatever questions, ideas, and conversations that have been circling in recent days will likely settle into a clearer point of focus. This offers a chance to listen more closely to your own thinking. Pay attention to what is on your mind when you wake. What thoughts return throughout the day without prompting? If you journal, write without editing. The house in your chart that contains Gemini is where this new mental clarity is taking hold. Over time, what begins here may grow into something you can speak, write, or understand more fully.
For most of the day, the Moon continues through Cancer, keeping the atmosphere inward and reflective. Let this be a day for listening, caring for others, while not pushing your agenda. Pull back from others if needed. Be honest with yourself. Care does not always require doing. Sometimes it means allowing space for yourself and your own mind.
At 4:16 p.m. Eastern, the Moon enters Leo and the tone shifts. What felt inward earlier in the day may now begin to seek expression. This may be an invitation to let what is important to you show itself outwardly. Let this happen naturally.
- What part of myself am I ready to share with someone I trust?
- Where in my life am I ready to speak directly instead of staying quiet?
- What am I ready to express that has been private until now?
SEEKING JOY – Saturday, May 31, 2025
The Moon moves through Leo all day, offering a steady invitation to show up more fully. This is not just about performance, it is also about presence and authenticity. Leo reminds us that expression can be both strong and sincere. You may feel drawn to creativity, honest conversation, or simply taking up space in your own life. Let yourself be seen in each moment that reflects what is true for you.
This is a good day to return to joy in its simplest forms. Play, rest, art, and affection all belong to Leo. If you have been focused on responsibility or pulled by others’ needs this week, today offers the opportunity to return to yourself. Leo’s light is about so much more than attention, it is about warmth and generosity. Notice what becomes easier to express when you are not trying to prove anything.
- What part of myself am I ready to express without hesitation?
- What simple activity brings me joy when I permit myself to embrace it?
- Where in my life can I lead with warmth and generosity instead of trying to maintain control?
STEADY IN THE LIGHT – Sunday, June 1, 2025
The Moon stays in Leo all day, offering steady warmth and a quiet call to live from the heart. There is strength in showing up with sincerity. Whether you are making art, spending time with others, or moving through ordinary routines, let your actions reflect what matters to you. Leo energy encourages self-respect, courage, and presence. Today is about living in alignment with what you care about most.
Leo teaches that joy is not a distraction from life. It is part of what makes life worth living. Make room today for laughter, music, art, movement, or telling someone what they mean to you. Let your heart lead.
At 11:00 p.m. Eastern, the Moon enters Virgo. This quiet shift prepares us for the week ahead. Virgo brings focus and steadiness, helping us return to what needs care. But before the mood changes, stay with the day. Let it close gently, with warmth that carries into what comes next.
- What brings me joy without effort, and how can I find more of it today?
- Where in my life can I express sincerity instead of performance?
- What do I want to carry with me from this day into the week ahead?
