Gemini Season
As the Sun shifts from one realm of the zodiac to another, we move along with it. So as the Sun crosses the threshold from Taurus into Gemini on May 20, 2025, we shift from earth to air. That means we also move from body to mind, stability to fluidity, senses to thoughts, and anchoring to opening.
Gemini is an energy within us all, whether in generous amounts or more hidden behind the scenes. It is now that we are invited to let that part take up more space within our bodies, guide our thinking and perceiving, and let ourselves become the very expression of Gemini, each in our own unique way.
A curious and adaptable sign of the zodiac, Gemini invites flow and movement after a stabilizing season in the realm of Taurus. Here we open our minds to new ways of perceiving, thinking, and connecting. Information, communication, learning, and thinking, are the playground of life for this sign. Let curiosity guide you.
Mercury Conjunct Uranus
Following our annual Uranus cazimi in which the outer planet drew near to the Sun last week, it’s time for Mercury conjunct Uranus. A conjunction is the coming together and collaboration of two planetary bodies in our cosmos. As their energies merge, they become one and begin to channel their shared expression through each of us.
Whereas Mercury is our mind, Uranus is our universal mind. Mercury is about thinking and processing, Uranus embodies vaster insight and future potential streaming into the present. As these two bodies connect on May 24, 2025, it brings an opening and updating of our minds as we reach further into the cosmos to dance with expanded perspectives and possibilities.
On this day, dream, journal, visualize, and speak aloud your desires. As you do so, you bring life, creative energy, and possibility into not only your mind but your life. Ask for guidance, open to new ways of seeing, and perceive from the lens of your future self. Remember that you are a vessel, a funnel, for potential to enter into awareness. Open yourself to the vast realms of possibility.
Saturn in Aries
This week holds one of our major astrological events of 2025. The movement of Saturn into Aries takes place for the first time in almost 30 years. Our planet of legacy, boundaries, mastery, and ambition enters Aries on May 24, 2025, where it will linger for a short time.
Aries is our first sign of the zodiac. It is spark, life, the initial stages, the beginning. As any planet crosses the threshold from the final zodiac of Pisces into Aries, it births itself into a new cycle and a new self. Whereas Saturn is mastery, Aries is the self. This season we are exploring how we uniquely master, and consciously direct, our vast creative energy in alignment with our truth.
Saturn in Aries is where discipline meets drive, courage meets embodiment, inspiration meets commitment. It is a space to step into self-authority and inner leadership and, in so doing, claim our dreams and desires through commitment, devotion, and long-term building. We are learning how to ground and tame our flame of inspiration, passion, and initiation into a slow burn that we can direct and create with consistently, reliably, and intentionally.
Much like our recent movement of Neptune into Aries, Saturn will linger in Aries for a few months before retrograding back into Pisces. From September 2025 until February 2026, it will remain in Pisces before settling back into Aries for several years. Until September, there is the opportunity to peer into the years ahead. It’s a chance to dip our toes in and understand the energy so we can begin opening ourselves to the unique invitations of this cosmic partnership.

Taurus Rising
Create space within the structures of your identity. It’s a week to explore your relationship with worthiness and bring your awareness past the surface and into the sacred, the silence, the space where you return to the true you. Doors are opening and possibilities are making themselves known.
Gemini Rising
Welcome to your season. Let yourself flow, shift, and change as freely as the wind. Play with life. Open your mind. Explore possibilities and interests. This time initiates leadership in your larger visions, hopes, and community spaces. And it sparks inspiration and potential from within the silence and the sacred.
Cancer Rising
When you close your eyes and imagine your future, where do you want to go? What legacy do you want to leave? Who are you becoming? This week invites you to stand in your authority as you commit to these visions. It also asks you to remember your oneness with the realms unseen.
Leo Rising
Dreams and hopes are pathways. When followed, they guide us into new realms, new possibilities, and new lives. They open doors that were previously closed. They shape us into more of ourselves. This week, you’re asked to look ahead, be playful with your dreams, and ask them where they are taking you.
Virgo Rising
The week illuminates your legacy, your work, your authority, and your long-term goals while simultaneously bringing in an exploration of emotional mastery. Say yes to transformation, courage, and intimacy with all of yourself. Explore what empowerment feels like in your body. Observe where courage desires to lead you.
Libra Rising
May you open yourself wider to life this week. Inspiration sparking, intuition heightening, insights waiting, and ideas calling. If the winds held guidance, if the stars were speaking, how would you create space to listen and respond? Also, as Saturn enters Aries, this week initiates a new foundation in love and collaboration.
Scorpio Rising
It’s a week to dive into your underworld. To travel into your depths. To explore with curiosity the vast and rich world within. And to redefine and restructure your daily rhythms—the habits, routines, and rituals that support you and your being.
Sagittarius Rising
Gemini invites a new wave of connection into your reality. It initiates communication, listening, sharing, learning, and collaboration, including an ability to see through the eyes of another. It also holds space for creativity within structure so that you may build something meaningful.
Capricorn Rising
As you bring inspiration into your days, you also bring it to yourself. Invite change into your routines and rituals. Curiously explore new rhythms. This week invites an influx of creative energy as well as inner restructuring, emotional authority, inner child healing, and courage to heed your heart.
Aquarius Rising
Creativity, self-expression, and curiosity around your desires call to you this week. Let your response be playful. The transits of the week may subtly restructure your mind, allowing you to reclaim your voice and find greater intentionality in your thoughts.
Pisces Rising
Come home to yourself. Remember the bounds of your body as a sacred sanctuary. Recall your memories and emotions as your sacred space. Engage in reflection and introspection as you initiate a new cycle relating to worthiness, security, abundance, and embodiment.
