Gemini New Moon 2025: Expand the Mind

May 21

A Gemini New Moon occurs on May 26th 2025 (11:03PM ET/8:03PM PT). New Moons occur when the transit (moving) Sun and Moon conjunct (align) in the Zodiac, occupying the same spot. They’re seen as times of new beginnings, high energy and enthusiastic, and very positive. This targets the mind in Gemini.

What’s the energy of Gemini astrologically?

Gemini is the sign of the mind as the lead air sign. The air signs (Gemini, Libra, and Aquarius) are the signs of communication and engagement, and are the social signs who connect us together.

Libra is one-on-one connections, ruling committed relationships and partnerships, but it can also be superficial at times; Aquarius is our friendships, groups, and the masses, showing the collective, but also being a bit distant at times; and Gemini is our personal connections, ruling our immediate environments and the people we come in contact with regularly.

Gemini is also a mutable sign, which are the flowing, fluid signs that don’t like to stay in place. This helps Gemini to be adaptable and quick on its feet, so it flows well with conversation (though it can certainly be scatterbrained and never remembers your name!).

Gemini is ruled by Mercury, the planet of the mind and communication, the playful trickster who always wants to go from this to that. Gemini can’t really stick to anything for too long!

Gemini gets bored really easily, so it needs variety. Lots of small projects, short-term plans, and new ideas to explore and quickly learn. But diving deep into subjects, projects, and plans? Nope, not something that interests Gemini!

There are too many ideas to try, and everything piques the interest of Gemini. It rushes into everything quickly, with enthusiasm and an open eye, but without enough to stimulate the mind, Gemini moves on to the next thing fast. Gemini is great for brainstorming, and the start of projects and plans as a result.

How does a Gemini New Moon impact us?

This brings us to the impact of a Gemini New Moon. Gemini New Moons are times for new ideas, and they can come at lightning speed. We’re coming out of the serious, intense, and emotional Scorpio Full Moon, and we want to get out of that, stat! We can turn toward lighter subjects, and topics and projects and plans that get us excited.

This can be an excellent time to get started with a new idea or short-term plan. We can take action with the New Moon, and are wide open to a new beginning. We can focus on an idea that really gets us going, and work to jumpstart it fast.

Opportunities can come our way to make this happen, and we’re more likely to embrace them. No more mired in seriousness and challenges, it’s time to get moving, get going, adapt, and use the mind!

The Tech Specs of the 2025 Gemini New Moon:

The Gemini New Moon is widely trine (beneficial aspect, 4 signs away) transit Pluto in Aquarius. Since Pluto is the ruler of Scorpio, the sign of the previous Full Moon, this helps us pull out of that Full Moon with greater ease and adjust to better energy. We can take control and focus on solving.

This New Moon is also the last with Jupiter still in Gemini (though Jupiter doesn’t aspect the New Moon). Mercury also enters Gemini the day before the New Moon (May 25th), and since the Sun is also in Gemini, we’ve got a little Gemini stellium going.

A stellium occurs when 3+ planets are together in one sign. This is highly concentrated energy. A Gemini stellium is concentrated on ideas, plans, movement, engagement, expression, and communication. Jupiter and the New Moon brings expansive opportunities, and Mercury helps us feel comfortable with pursuing them.

This is interesting as transit Saturn has also just entered Aries for this New Moon (May 24th, so 2 days before). Saturn now joins Neptune in Aries, and we’re pushed even further into this paradigm shift that started when Pluto entered Aquarius. It’s in overdrive starting around this New Moon, so the ideas and plans we may be pursuing could tie into the cosmic changes that are putting us on an entirely new path for our lives, and in the world. An exciting time! (even if a little crazy! But hey, we’re never gonna survive unless we get a little crazy . . . is Seal a guru?)

The Gemini New Moon occurs at 6 degrees 6 minutes of Gemini. The aspects to this New Moon are between 4 degrees 6 minutes and 8 degrees 6 minutes of:

Conjunction: Gemini (amplifies)
Sextile: Aries & Leo (beneficial with work)
Square: Virgo & Pisces (challenging)
Trine: Libra & Aquarius (beneficial & easy)
Opposition: Sagittarius (challenging)

Look for the house in your natal chart where 6 degrees 6 minutes Gemini falls, and the areas of life ruled by that house can be ones where you’re experiencing more movement, get new ideas, and have opportunities for growth.

Also look for bodies in your natal chart at these positions, and these bodies get direct impact from the New Moon. For those a little more advanced, also check your progressed chart, and if in a relationship, your composite chart.
