Energies of the Week: May 19–25, 2025 ✨💫🎇
Sun in Gemini – Saturn Enters Aries
Following the transformative Scorpio Full Moon that illuminated our shadows and helped us confront what undermines us, this week opens the most promising part of the month, bringing renewal and hosting one of the year’s most significant astrological events.
New opportunities, connections, and ideas stir the winds of change and open new chapters in our reality, with the Sun entering Gemini and, more importantly, Saturn’s powerful transition into Aries at the end of the week.
And while we may feel exhausted under Saturn’s current position in the demanding anaretic degree of Pisces, we are soon called to rise, take the reins of our life, and fight for something better.
✨💫The week begins with a challenge: On Monday, May 19, Mars in Leo forms a sesquiquadrate with Saturn 14° Leo – 29° Pisces, following its square to Mercury at 13⁰ Taurus- Leo, a tension that can bring resistance to action and the sense that things aren’t moving forward.
This aspect may slow down plans0 and wear us out physically and emotionally. But it’s no reason to give up. On the contrary, it asks us to activate inner discipline and embrace the value of patience, restraint, and proper timing. Watch where you channel your frustration, avoid impulsive risks, and take a temporary step back—not to surrender, but to regroup.
On the same day, the Mercury–Neptune semi-square (16° Taurus – 1° Aries) clouds our judgment, making it hard to know whether to speak or stay silent, act or withdraw.
Yet the Jupiter–Chiron sextile (25° Gemini – 25° Aries), exact the day before (May 18), brings the guidance and healing we need right on time. A message, an encounter, a piece of knowledge, or a new practice can ease our pain and help us move forward stronger and wiser.
✨💫On Tuesday, May 20, the Moon reaches its Third Quarter 🌗 at 29°43’ Aquarius♒. This is a pivotal lunar phase, calling us to release limiting beliefs and attachments—even if that requires inner rebellion, detachment, or severing ties.
Before the promising Gemini New Moon, this is a time for introspection, cleansing, and liberation. We stand on the threshold of radical inner and outer change and can no longer compromise on what’s not authentic. The call for freedom, honesty, and independence arises. To evolve, we must let go of past burdens.
On the same day, the Sun forms a sextile with Saturn at 29° Taurus–Pisces. Before they both change signs, this alignment marks the completion of a cycle of learning, a journey, a project, or a relationship. It’s a final chance for maturity, healing, and choosing direction. It grants clarity, commitment, and rewards effort.
If you have placements in the late degrees of Earth or Water signs, this is your moment to prove what you’ve learned, take spiritual responsibility for your life, and lay solid foundations for your future, with faith, discipline, patience, and realism.
Just hours later, the Sun enters Gemini, 🎇♊opening a new cycle of experience, connection, and creative expression. The Gemini Sun awakens the mind, stimulating our urge to communicate, move, explore, and learn.
This is a favorable time for education, teaching, commerce, networking, and travel. It’s ideal for upgrading our skills, collecting new stimuli, and renewing our relationships with loved ones, friends, relatives, and community. We become more flexible, adaptable, and social, able to see both sides of a situation and recognize new possibilities in every experience.
✨💫On Thursday, May 22, a wave of inspiration, romance, and idealism fills the air as the Sun forms a harmonious sextile with Neptune at 1° Gemini – 1° Aries. This influence acts as a blessed gateway into subtler dimensions.
If you work in art, music, healing, or spiritual development, this aspect allows you to express yourself through words, colors, sounds, movement, or even silence, with soulful inspiration and deep resonance.
You may experience spiritual revelations, inner clarity, and emotional openings illuminating your path. Connections with others become more profound, almost telepathic, and the heart opens beyond logical understanding.
So if you have placements in the early degrees of Air or Fire signs, don’t overlook signs: a coincidence, “random” information, a dream, or encounter might act as a catalyst for manifesting a deeper vision.
On the same day, the Venus–Mars trine at 15° Aries– Leo, active throughout May, reaches its peak. This celestial alignment fosters inner harmony, bridges opposites, and brings balance to relationships and to any creative act born from the heart.
Whether it’s romance, a work of art, or a professional partnership, this energy ignites passion, admiration, inspiration, and magnetism.
This dynamic dance of feminine and masculine principles in fire signs, artistic and romantic expression flourish, enhancing aesthetic pleasure, joy of flirting, and authentic creation.
If you’re in the second decan of a Fire or Air sign, this is a great time to pursue what you desire with courage and confidence, to shine and create with passion and authenticity.
✨💫Saturday, May 24 brings the powerful Sun-Pluto trine at 3° Gemini – Aquarius, a force of ambition and transformative influence. This aspect generates new mental frameworks and enables us to change our world through our ideas.
It particularly supports the early degrees of Air and Fire signs, strengthening our belief in the power of thought, speech, and personal mission. It grants us insight and the ability to perceive beyond appearances, to deepen bonds, and to strengthen both intellectual and emotional ties.
✨💫On Sunday, May 25, Saturn enters Aries 🪐♈marking the beginning of a nearly three-year journey that urges us to shape our will and sense of self through decisive action and to fully own who we are and how we show up in the world.
Aries is the sign of new beginnings, initiative, courage, and self-assertion. Yet Saturn allows no reckless moves without direction and structure. From this position, he teaches us to stand on our own two feet with inner strength, discipline, and self-awareness.
Superficial or ego-driven actions will be tested, and only what is genuine, meaningful, and responsible will stand the test of time.
A new inner leader is called to be born within us—not the one who shouts the loudest, but the one who knows when and why to fight. The one who builds identity through actions, values, and steady presence.
A few hours later, the Mercury–Uranus conjunction at 27° Taurus allows us to see reality with fresh eyes and to radically expand our perspective.
This aspect can bring surprising news, flashes of genius, scientific breakthroughs, or revolutionary communication, pushing us toward innovation and awakening.
This is also the final time Mercury meets Uranus in Taurus, just before Uranus leaves the sign and enters Gemini. It’s the last electric spark, the closing of a cycle regarding the ideas, values, information, and changes Uranus has brought since 2018.
That’s why anything revealed or realized now has the power to act as a catalyst for what’s to come.
Wishing you a blessed week ahead!✨🎇🕊☮
With love💓💓💓
