New moon in Gemini | May 27, 2025
On May 27, it is the New Moon in Gemini. The Sun and Moon are conjunct Mercury, forming a trine with Pluto and a sextile with Neptune and Saturn. In addition, Mars in Leo forms a trine with Venus in Aries. Consider what this means for you in terms of energy.
New Moon conjunct Mercury
A New Moon represents a new beginning. The start of a new cycle. The sign Gemini represents communication, flexible thinking, and unconventionality. Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and accompanies the Sun and Moon.
In our book Your Karma we have described Mercury as the university of the Universe. Mercury's energy gives you space to develop and blossom as a soul. The Ladies of Dharma are connected with it. They are the guides of life and help you rise above matter.
Saturn at 0 degrees Aries
In addition to the Ladies of Dharma, there are the Lords of Karma. These are the energetic judges who assess karmic contracts from the bigger picture. They are connected with Saturn. And Saturn happens to be sextile Mercury and the New Moon at 0 degrees of Aries. This is the very first degree of the zodiac. It marks a new era. Saturn is starting a new cycle of over 29 years.
Saturn is the planet of laws, judgments, and karma. How you perceive the world and how others perceive you. Saturn assists you in recognizing boundaries and establishing your own boundaries. However, there is a fine line between establishing your own boundaries and crossing those of others.
This is a point of attention with Saturn in Aries, because Aries is associated with willpower, focus, and courage. It is action-oriented and contains the energy to tackle something. Aries is about doing. Being proactive, achieving goals and desires. It stands for the “I am.” Individuality.
Although the energies of Saturn and Aries are contradictory, this placement can cause you to view and judge situations primarily from your own point of view and perspective. When this energy prevails, it can become rigid. Things must be done this way and no other. It can even become such an obsession to achieve something that you are willing to give up everything for it.
Karma & Dharma
What is special is that as soon as Saturn enters Aries, Mercury is at 0 degrees of Gemini, where it is very powerful and immediately influences this energy because it forms a sextile with Saturn. With Mercury's energy, personal growth takes precedence over materialistic matters. The inquisitive nature, wisdom, and intelligence associated with this energy enable you to view things from a broader perspective than just your own.
In our book Your Karma we stated: Being healthy in life requires a balance between the energy of Saturn and the energy of Mercury. The energy of Mercury to be able to look at the situation from a broader perspective. And the energy of Saturn to assess the situation while considering your own boundaries and respecting the boundaries of others.
And this is precisely what we receive in terms of energy when Saturn begins its new cycle and is positioned exactly on the world axis. This occurs just before the New Moon, which anchors this energy as a new beginning.
Neptune and Saturn
Saturn is also conjunct Neptune. They move back and forth between the first degrees of Aries and the last degrees of Pisces, before moving completely into Aries in 2026. Neptune is ethereal, Saturn is material. This combination of energy helps you stand up for your ideals, realize your dreams, and take control of your life. To live your true essence in physical reality.
Pluto Active During New Moon
Where Aries is all about “I am” and has an individualistic character, Aquarius wants to serve both the self and the group. This energy is much more about the common good. Togetherness, community. And that is where Pluto is located, forming a sextile with Saturn and Neptune, and a trine with the New Moon and Mercury. Pluto therefore influences the energy of Saturn and Neptune, but also strengthens the influence of the New Moon and Mercury.
In addition, Venus in Aries and Mars, the ruler of Aries, form a triangle. This aspect increases the need for social contact, fun, and creativity. Venus also forms a semi-square with Mercury and the New Moon. This can create subtle tension between this need on the one hand and thinking, observing, and looking at things from multiple perspectives on the other.
The Beginning of a New Era
All in all, this New Moon conjunct Mercury comes at a special moment, right at the start of Saturn's new cycle. It marks a clear starting point, both for the collective and for you personally. It is therefore an excellent time to set an essential intention, especially when it comes to your mindset, i.e. your thoughts, beliefs, and how you want to live your life.
Do you want to know how to create an essential intention and activate it through an energetic campaign? It is described in detail in the book Your Beliefs.
