Gemini energy takes center stage this week, so buckle up! With the Sun entering this curious, communicative sign on Tuesday, followed closely by Mercury’s entry on Sunday, the pace is about to pick up. Conversations are buzzing, minds are racing, and plans are multiplying as we move from Taurus’ steady, grounded energy to Gemini’s fast-paced whirlwind of thoughts and ideas.
The week begins on Monday with the Moon in Aquarius forming a supportive sextile to Venus in Aries. This aspect encourages positive connections with others, making it an ideal time to collaborate or engage in social activities. Aquarius energy brings fresh perspectives and unconventional thinking, so keep an open mind.
Use this energy to brainstorm with a friend or to work on a creative project that could use a spark of originality.
Gemini season officially begins, bringing a burst of mental energy and a desire for variety and stimulation. With the Last Quarter Moon in Aquarius, there is a strong emphasis on finishing what you started, particularly projects or plans that involve change or innovation.Â
This is a good day to reflect on what you need to wrap up before the upcoming New Moon (on Monday, May 26th). Stay flexible and adaptable as the air energy increases, and be willing to shift your approach if necessary.
As we continue the week, the Moon shifts into dreamy Pisces, forming a sextile with Mercury in Taurus. You may feel more emotionally connected to your ideas, making it a powerful day for creative work or for sharing your thoughts with someone you trust.Â
Keep in mind that conversations can feel more empathetic and intuitive, so take time to listen closely. If an idea tugs at your heart, explore it further — it may hold more weight than you realize.
On Thursday, the Moon enters action-oriented Aries, turning up the heat and boosting confidence. This fiery energy can motivate you to take initiative, especially with Venus in Aries forming a trine to Mars in Leo. Passion and intensity are strong, and you can channel this into your connections or creative pursuits.Â
Whether you are starting a new project or reaching out to someone you care about, take bold steps forward today!
Happy Friday! On this day, the Aries Moon aligns with Venus in Aries, creating a powerful day for emotional connection. This is a good time to offer support or to open up about what you are feeling.
You may find that people are more receptive than usual, so speak from the heart. If there is a conflict or unresolved tension, today’s energy can help you address it with courage and sincerity.
Saturday, the Moon moves into grounded Taurus, offering a chance to slow down and center yourself. (You might find you’re missing the grounding energy we just had during Taurus season!)
This shift from fiery Aries to steady Taurus encourages you to focus on practical matters, resources, and self-care.
Most importantly, Saturn enters Aries, marking a significant transit that will shape the next few years. Saturn in Aries asks you to step up as a leader in your own life, confront fears around self-assertion, and take responsibility for your path forward. Consider what you need to take seriously now to set a solid foundation for the future.
And finally on Sunday, Mercury enters Gemini, amplifying mental energy and communication skills. Ideas come quickly, conversations are lively, and curiosity is at an all-time high.
This is a great day to brainstorm, write, or connect with people who stimulate your mind. However, with so much energy in Gemini, it can be easy to get scattered or overwhelmed. Stay focused on what truly matters and avoid overcommitting. Ground yourself in Taurus Moon energy if you need to slow down and regroup.
This week brings a dynamic blend of energy as we transition from the Earthy stability of Taurus into the fast-paced mental realm of Gemini. Plus, Saturn’s move into Aries marks the start of a new chapter, inviting you to step up, take charge, and redefine what it means to be a leader in your own life.
As Gemini season kicks off, stay open to new ideas and connections, but remember to stay grounded in what truly matters. The clarity you gain now can set you up for the powerful new beginnings arriving with next week’s Gemini New Moon.
