Gemini Horoscope for May 2025

This is another in a series of profoundly active months, Gemini, when much of what is going on to illuminate your social sector comes from intuitional sources deep with you. What you create in concert with friends and social groups that you favor, and as you look ahead to your long-term goals, is also what drives you to achieve in terms of understanding. There is passion in your communicative outreach and this furthers a transformation of beliefs and worldview. Collaboration is key in this regard. It might be that you are driven to explore your most cherished principles as candidates for merger with overt values that you espouse, trusting your intuition. There is an activism in your bones that is inspiring and a mystical overtone that enables you to see that not everything comes from the material side of life. The Scorpio Full Moon of the 12th is powerful and brings you a taste of what you might come to feel as life mission. There is still quite a lot that is happening for you on the inside. The Moon’s Last Quarter a week later on the 20th brings surprising events that lead to unexpected enlightenment, reorienting your most cherished notions of where the action really is.

The following was written by our wonderful in-house astrologer, Leslie Benson. You can find her at Astrology for Awakening.

May opens under the influence of the April 27th New Moon in Taurus, which initiated a potent cycle in your twelfth sector of unconscious process and inner work, along with solitude, release, and spiritual renewal. This lunation carried with it an intense fixed-sign T-square involving Pluto in Aquarius opposite Mars in Leo square to the Sun and Moon, which may have stirred deep inner unrest or catalyzed an awakening within your subconscious mind. There may be something gestating just beneath the surface – an invitation to surrender, to trust what cannot yet be seen, and to listen closely to the intuitive signals rising from within. You could find that the answers you're seeking arrive more easily when you slow down, soften your grip, and tend to the liminal spaces of your life. Transformational Pluto is also greatly highlighted as well in this recent New Moon, and you could find that, starting from the very beginning of the month, your system of beliefs and worldview, or perhaps some travel or educational initiatives, could be going through changes and a process of greater conscious awareness of what is driving you in this area.

On May 1st and 2nd, Venus returns to Aries after her recent retrograde journey and joins numinous Neptune in your eleventh sector of community, dreams, and long-term visions. With Neptune freshly entered into this part of your chart, this moment opens a new chapter, and new possibilities in how you imagine your role within collective spaces. There is potential for soul-nourishing connections and a sense of dissolving old expectations around belonging. You may feel inspired to align your goals with deeper spiritual values – or to seek out friendships and collaborations that spark your creativity and idealism.

Pluto stations retrograde on May 4th in Aquarius, activating your ninth sector of belief systems, philosophy, and higher learning. This turn inward may prompt a reassessment of your worldview and the mental frameworks that shape how you interpret life, especially for the week or so surrounding the station. You might notice themes around power and transformation arise in your relationship to spiritual path and higher learning. There’s an opportunity here to observe what conditioned beliefs you’re ready to send to the proverbial compost bin, creating space for a metamorphosis for your authentic and empowered perspective to take root and blossom.

On May 10th, your ruling planet Mercury enters Taurus and slips into your twelfth sector, emphasizing inner reflection and mental rest. You may find that your thoughts become more inwardly focused, or that communication takes on a more introspective tone. This could be a supportive time for journaling, meditation, and centering your body’s wisdom. You might not have all the answers yet – but trust that you are integrating more than may be apparent on the surface.

The Scorpio Full Moon arrives on May 12th lighting up your sixth sector of daily routines, health, and service. Opposing the Sun in proximity to Uranus in Taurus, or your sector of unconscious process, this lunation could bring unexpected insights or intuitional information that might serve you well. There could be shifts in your approach to wellness or work-life rhythms, and also you issues of higher mind or evolving worldview. Your system of beliefs that is in part unconsciously based could be opening to greater integration of your own cherished principles and sense pf life purpose. You also might become more aware of patterns that no longer support your vitality or feel called to make spontaneous changes that open space for greater freedom and balance in your day-to-day life. There may be revelations about how your body is asking to be supported, or how your habits are either limiting or liberating you.

Your season begins on May 20th as the Sun enters your sign – happy birthday, Gemini! This time brings energy, visibility, and a sense of renewal. With the Sun now moving through your first sector of self and identity, this is your time to shine, express, and redefine your personal narrative. You may feel a sense of clarity return as your solar cycle resets, helping you recognize how far you've come, and what fresh intentions are ready to take shape. This can be an affirming turning point, reminding you that adaptability and reinvention is one of your superpowers.

A significant shift transpires on May 24th, when Saturn enters Aries, joining Neptune in your eleventh sector. These two travel within two degrees of each other through mid-September, and begin a long-term process of reimagining your relationship to community and future vision. While Neptune invites dreaminess and dissolution, Saturn calls for structure and commitment. Together, they suggest a period of visionary discipline – where you are asked to slowly build toward your goals and dreams in a way that feels soulful and sustainable. There may be elements of feeling disillusioned by groups or communities you once felt at home in, and a call to re-assess where your efforts are best spent and with whom. This time invites you to ground your ideals into practical, long-term frameworks that center your curiosity, creativity and excitement as valuable assets.

The month concludes with a New Moon in your sign on May 26th, initiating an empowering reset in your first sector. In this lunation we find the Sun and Moon conjunct your ruler Mercury in a trine to Pluto, suggesting deep shifts in how you see yourself, how you speak your truth, and how you step into your own power. You may feel ready to release old versions of your identity and initiate a new way of showing up in the world – one that reflects the wisdom you've gathered in recent times and embraces your unique intelligence. There’s a sense that the new you is not entirely new, but rather a fuller embodiment of what’s always been within. There’s an invitation to claim your voice, honor your transformation, and chart a course that aligns with your most authentic self.

On the whole, the May month invites you to weave together endings and beginnings. It’s a month that gently guides you inward before ushering you forward – with clarity, depth, and a renewed sense of self. The most powerful changes may not arrive all at once, but in the quiet moments where your internal inquisitiveness and insights meet your worldly intentions and vision for your life.
