The new moon starting on May 27, 2025, will bring with it lots of curiosity, fun, flirtation, and new ideas. Here’s how to make the most of it!
On May 27 a new lunar cycle begins: The moon is in line with Earth and the sun, and a new new moon is here. This new moon is in the air sign of Gemini. The sun, Mercury, and Jupiter are also in Gemini. In other words, this moment—and the days that follow—will have an energy that is inquisitive, curious, flexible, fast, magical, and playful…and not entirely without stress and contradictions. It could be a good time to rearrange and explore everything. New life, new you? Let’s go!
This is one of the most beautiful, magical new moons of the year. It wants change and spontaneity. A Gemini moon is social, light, playful. It loves meeting new people and ideas. Geminis think in other dimensions; they want to explore who else we can be. (After all, Gemini has that dual nature built in!) They break the rules, and they can cause trouble, but they can also powerfully shift energy.
The fact that everything is supercharged and even amplified is due to the sun, the new moon, Mercury, and also Jupiter being in Gemini: a Gemini stellium. So now, and in the 35 hours following the time of the new moon, it is, as always, a great time to set a new intention.
Set that new intention for what you want to create in your life. If you want to start a creative project, especially one that has to do with writing, there is hardly a better time to do so. In fact, all creative ideas should find particularly fertile ground now.
Gemini is a mobile air sign. This means they ask themselves: What happens when we move things around? How can we arrange life differently? No idea is too far-fetched.
What’s possible with the May 2025 new moon
This new moon does have its contradictions—after all, two or more things can be true at the same time. So even though you might feel your soul singing during this time, the world can still feel chaotic. Allow that! Lean into it. Now is the time to question everything.
There is so much that lies in the future that we cannot yet imagine: People and places and things we don’t yet know. So allow yourself to create a vacuum in which you allow the possibility of all things. The twins like to ask themselves: Where have we kept ourselves prisoners of our old rules? Question it all.
Where the May new moon could cause trouble
The negative effects of this new moon are that so much is happening in the mind. This can cause scattered thoughts that feel like they’re on a merry-go-round and stress you out.
Another danger during this period is that because so much is happening in the head, the heart is somewhat neglected. And that’s a shame, because flirting is favored under this new moon. So remember, a cold heart can discourage others. Harmony in thinking and feeling is important. It’s important to pay attention to balance.
Mercury and Pluto may provide fresh ideas and emotional depth.
Mercury, the messenger of the gods, is active under this new moon and helps us to recognize celestial messages that we need to hear. It moves into Gemini two days before the new moon. So be alert for signs and synchronicities from the universe, especially on the day of the new moon itself. Mercury in tandem with the new moon will also support communication efforts and projects you are working on. You may find you have an easier time selling your ideas well and making them understandable.
