May 26, 2025 at 8:02 pm PT is a new Moon in Gemini. Air sign Gemini rules the 3rd house of communication, ideas, and travel. The new Moon, Sun, Mercury, and Jupiter are all in Gemini to innovate, make plans, and begin new projects. Mercury conjuncts Uranus bringing new insights and interesting encounters. The pace of life quickens and you can cover much ground.
This new Moon begins the second lunar month of the Snake. 2025 is a leap lunar year that occurs every few years to bring the lunar calendar back into line with solar observations. In Chinese custom the fourth lunar month is usually repeated after the first three lunar months of Tiger, Rabbit, and Dragon. (Chinese lunar New Year begins on the first day of Tiger lunar month.) In the Western lunar calendar, there will be two new Moons in Virgo on August 22 and September 21.
This second Snake month in Snake year brings more opportunities to move forward with intention and shed what no longer serves you. Snake appreciates the depths of peace and wisdom attained through quiet reflection, bringing clarity of insight and truths that others do not see. Snake values meaningful connections with others and finding those worthy of your trust. Contact me for your Empress or High Priestess tarot reading to strengthen your insights this Snake lunar month.
Fortunately, the new Moon, Sun, Mercury, and Uranus trine Pluto for breakthroughs in emotional development, your thought patterns, and ease of communication. Emotions are intensified to express yourself powerfully, make a strong impression, and gain the respect of others. There can be new learning and understanding of events whereby your beliefs are transformed. This lunar month is time to clearly separate from the past and release limited viewpoints or perceptions that hold you back.
Shedding the past to create new life is for all, and is strongest for Air signs Gemini, Libra, and Aquarius and those born in Ox, Tiger, Snake, Horse, Dog, Phoenix (Rooster) years.
Happy new Moon,
Susan
