The New Moon at 6’06 Gemini is exact on Monday May 26th 2025 at 11:02pm EDT- commencing a new Lunar Cycle that focuses on the mind, intellect, perception and communication- as well as siblings, neighbors and our social interactions with others. Gemini in its Highest represents coming back to Beginner’s Mind. Gemini represents that place of openness and receptivity that was easily had when we were young. In my Foundations of Astrology course I teach about how all the signs correspond to certain stages of Human Development. Gemini corresponds with early childhood education- those years where we were learning new things EVERYDAY and it kept our minds and spirits fluid, receptive and open :)
There is SO MUCH GEMINI in this New Moon chart (Sun, Moon, Mercury, Hygeia, Sedna, Jupiter)- helping us to OPEN OUR MINDS and see/learn new things- if you have the eyes to see and ears to hear ;) As New Moons are times to set intentions, plant seeds and/or initiate things- I highly recommend anchoring in the new and expansive energy in some form in your life in the coming Lunar Cycle! (In the Lunar Gate Call that will be up this weekend and the Lunar Horoscopes that will be up by Tuesday- I go will go into more specifics particularly for your Sign. Gate Calls and Horoscopes are membership content. You can sign up to become a member here- https://divineharmony.com/become-a-member/)
In the New Moon Chart there is a tight conjunction of Sedna, Hygeia and Mercury (between 1’01 Gemini and 2’20 Gemini so very tight triple conjunction!). Sedna is the Inuit Goddess of the Ocean and the Unconscious. She is amazing for shadow work and therapy as she helps us see and grasp what is going on beneath the surface. Hygeia is the Goddess of Healing and Wholeness and she can help us take the poison of the past and turn it into the cure. With Mercury the Winged Messenger- one of only a few deities who can move between the worlds- he can help us take these insights and integrate them into our conscious awareness. This is a phenomenal triple conjunction for any kind of Inner Work! And then these three are also conjunct the New Moon which is just a few degrees away- helping us commence something new that is focused on healing, integration and opening of perception. (Where it falls in your Chart adds to the interpretation as well- so listen to the Horoscopes!)
This New Moon is also trine Pluto in Aquarius and sextile Saturn and Neptune in Aries- activating some of the biggest astrology that is incoming in the next couple of years. The Saturn Neptune conjunction is exact in February 2026 but it gets really close this July. The Neptune/Pluto sextile will be exact for the first time in July of 2026 and will last until 2032! Later in July of this year we have Uranus ingress into Gemini and then Uranus will sextile Neptune (first one in August 2025 and goes until 2027) and then Uranus will trine Pluto (first one in July 2026- going until 2028). So this New Moon trine Pluto and sextile Neptune is a harbringer of this ‘minor grand sextile’ that will form between the 3 Outer Planets.
Uranus is the Higher Mind and he will be ingressing into Gemini- the Sign of Coming Back to Beginner’s Mind. Neptune is the Higher Heart and he is in Aries- this placement evokes Love in Action (Love/Neptune, Action/Aries). Pluto is the Higher Will and Power and he is in the Sign of Humanity and the Collective. Having all 3 Outers move into new Tropical Signs is kind of a big deal and then they all make a Grand Sextile alignment to boot! Big shifts are incoming on a collective level- and this New Moon can be a seed moment bringing personal and collective messages of what is incoming. So PAY ATTENTION (especially to dreams).
On a practical, mundane level the New Moon trine Pluto amplifies the transformational energy which can be harnessed via our communities, social connections, minds and capacity to communicate and share with others. The New Moon sextile Saturn and Neptune reminds us that we must take our dreams and visions and do something grounded with them. We want to bring our ideals into manifestation! Particularly as the Saturn/Neptune conjunction next year is at 0 Aries- – the seeding point of the entire Tropical Zodiac (and Saturn just moved into Aries on May 24th- starting to activate that conjunction)-we have massive support in truly doing something brand new. Be intentional with what you choose to release and let go of as well as what you start and set into motion- now and into next year as we move to the Saturn/Neptune conjunction.
The Chiron/Eris conjunction is darn near exact in the New Moon chart. Solar Fire says the precise conjunction is on Tuesday May 27th at 12:01am EDT- so the New Moon is just over an hour earlier and they are at the same degree and minute in the New Moon Chart. Chiron is the Wounded Healer and Eris is the Goddess of Discord and Chaos. She is also the Goddess of Earnest Endeavor- where we find our staying power through difficulty and in that process the rock becomes a diamond ;) On a collective level this can activate a need to heal around our relationship with Discord and Chaos. We increasingly live in a world where it is all about control. Control the weather! Control the people! Control the children! Control people’s minds! Eris is the opposite of that energy- and the more we buckle down trying to control the more chaotic things become. (You can learn more about Eris in my Eris Masterclass here- https://divineharmony.com/eris-the-guiding-archetype-of-the-21st-century/)
Working with anger and rage is key with Eris in Aries- as Aries is ruled by Mars and Mars rules anger. Some of us suppress and internalize anger and it becomes depression, disease and illness. Others of us explode out in our anger and we become violent, aggressive or abusive. Right relationship with anger is like walking a fine line. We do not want it to consume us but we also do not want to stuff it or it can come out in very unexpected ways (like a volcano!). From a shadow work perspective anger is the Guardian of our Boundaries. When we have anger arise we can often find that we have let people walk all over us or we are suppressing our own truth, needs and desires. Anger is a motivator to ACT- the problem is when we act from anger without thinking. We want to RESPOND not react- so pausing, counting to 10, breathing and feeling what the Truth that needs to be spoken, acted on, seen, etc… is key. (My on demand course Astrology & Your Shadow has many tools to help you work with anger and other emotions with more awareness and mastery.

There are two asteroids that stand out to me in the New Moon chart: The New Moon is conjunct Icarus and the North Node is conjunct Orpheus. Seen in relationship to each other the mythological meaning is interesting to say the least. Icarus speaks to ‘escapes that are careless of consequences’ as well as the ‘desire to get out of here’ and ‘get away from restrictions’. Orpheus speaks to a sense of mourning, loss and grief – for ‘what might have been’ but wasn’t. Put these two together and we can be using our minds and movement to get away from FEELING- and that is not the best way to do things right now. We need to FEEL TO HEAL- instead of fly up too close to the Sun like Icarus- we want to go down deep into the belly of the ocean (where Sedna resides!) and deal with what is buried or submerged within us. So make sure to give yourself time to do just this!
Last but not least this New Moon is out of Bounds- due to the Major Lunar Standstill cycle we are in but moving out of as the peak was in March. The next New Moon in Cancer will have the Sun and Moon both at very high declinations. The Sun will just be separating from the highest point due to the Solstice 4 days previous, while the Moon will be at +28’15 Northern declination- so very close to the Max Out of Bounds position (+28’43)/-28’44). I highly recommend looking at the houses that the end of Gemini and start of Cancer falls in your chart. This is where the Northern Declination of the Moon reaches the Silver Gateway aka Anti-Galactic Center (with Jupiter heading there NOW!)- and something can be calling you forward, beyond what you have seen/done/perceived before. The Moon Out of Bounds is like a Light leading you onward- dreams, insights, visions and intuitions received right now are worth their weight in gold (or silver- the metal of the moon- ha!). SO PAY ATTENTION!
I leave you with the Sabian Symbol degree which to me evokes the beauty of the Out of Bounds Moon, the coming Minor Grand Sextile and the gifts seeded in the New Moon chart. The title is ‘A well with bucket and rope under the shade of majestic trees’. The Keynote is ‘Man’s primordial faith in the hidden sustaining power of life’. It speaks of the eternal search for that which is at the root of all living processes- WATER. Yes this is an Airy Gemini Moon but with Sedna the Mother of the Sea conjunct the ruler Mercury with Hygeia the Goddess of Healing also conjunct both of them- DIVING DEEP is the medicine of the moment. The North Node in Pisces calls us on the path of the mystic and the lover. If we use our heads to avoid our hearts, if we default to thinking to escape feeling- we will miss the magic of the moment. Rather than focus on the mind, ambition, power, wealth, technology, comfort or matter- focus on the SOURCE OF LIFE and tapping it even deeper. This ‘fundamental trust in and cooperation with life’ will take us far.
Blessings…

SABIAN SYMBOL
by Dane Rudhyar
PHASE 67 (GEMINI 7°): A WELL WITH BUCKET AND ROPE UNDER THE SHADE OF MAJESTIC TREES.
KEYNOTE: Man’s primordial faith in the hidden sustaining power of life.
In contrast with the ambitious drive of modern man for power and wealth we now have the image of the eternal search for that which is at the root of all living processes, i.e. water. This search also demands some effort — raising the water-filled bucket — but it is a simple natural effort under the shade of trees which attest to the presence of the life-giving fluid. This presence depends on the cooperation of sky (rain) and earth (the geological formation able to hold the water), and man must develop the intuitive sense which enables him to feel this presence and to make it effectual in his daily life. He must sense the hidden reality which preserves for the use of all living organisms this gift of the “sky,” the bounteous rain.
At this second stage of the fourteenth five-fold sequence of symbols, the power of the collective and bio-spiritual energies which sustain all earth-rooted cultures is stressed, in contrast to whatever the technological mind of man can make available to increase his personal comfort and mastery over matter. The symbol implies A FUNDAMENTAL TRUST IN AND COOPERATION WITH LIFE.
