New Moons are a time for rejuvenation and manifestation. If you have a lack in your life, then this is the time the collective will work to fill it, whether through a new experience, person, or item. We must make space for beginnings and foolish behavior during new moons. Mind you, we're all fools when beginning something new, so don't be scared to get experimental.
For newbies, a New Moon is when the moon conjuncts the sun to the same degree. New moons are for setting intentions and goals to manifest. Take the theme of each new moon (manifestation period) as inspiration to bring forth the best version of yourself!

The New Moon in Gemini, which takes place on May 26, 2025, at 11:01 p.m. EST, is all about recognizing the danger of jumping to conclusions before you have the whole picture. Imagine this: You read one textbook paragraph and suddenly believe you’ve unlocked the secret to life. You overhear a fragment of gossip and start drawing bold, confident conclusions. Welcome to Gemini season. This Air sign loves ideas, conversations, and information—but not necessarily complete information. And under this lunation, there’s a high chance that many of us will fall into the trap of thinking we know it all…when we do not.
During this New Moon in Gemini, there are five considerations to remember:
1. Cognitive distortions are at an all-time high.
Our brains are designed to fill in the blanks, but sometimes that can work against us. Psychologists call these mental mishaps "cognitive distortions," which are basically unhelpful thought patterns like black-and-white thinking, catastrophizing, or assuming the worst without evidence. Under this New Moon, you might be reading too far into a text, overthinking a tone of voice, or assuming someone is mad at you when they’re distracted. The assignment? Don’t consider your assumptions facts.
2. You’re working with incomplete information.
Gemini energy is fast-moving and mentally stimulating, but is not always thorough. You might receive a powerful message, idea, or revelation, and immediately want to act on it. But the truth is, you may have only part of the story. Be mindful of the temptation to run with a sliver of it. Don’t skip to the book’s conclusion by proceeding towards triumph without reading all the chapters (yes, including the glossary).
3. The trickster archetype is in play.
Gemini is associated with the trickster—an archetype that thrives in duality, nuance, and contradiction. This doesn’t mean people are lying to you, it just means that reality may be more layered than it seems. What looks like a contradiction might be two truths coexisting. Instead of calling it deception, consider the possibility that complexity is part of the truth.
4. Curiosity is your protection.
Rather than reacting, get curious. Ask more questions. Stay open. Be willing to admit, “I don’t know yet.” That mindset will protect you from misunderstandings, misinformation, and unnecessary drama. This New Moon rewards those who pause to investigate rather than those who rush to solve. Assume less. Listen more. Clarity will come—but only to those who are patient enough to receive it.
5. Let the story unfold.
With several planets soon moving into Aries, the urge to “figure it out now” might feel overwhelming. But manifesting under this New Moon means surrendering your need to know everything. You don’t need to decide, conclude, or define just yet. The plot is still thickening. Let it. Trust that truth reveals itself in time, not under pressure.
Below, read your horoscope based on your Sun, Moon, and Rising signs. Read for your Sun sign to gain insight based on the version of yourself you're maturing into, your Rising sign to reflect on your present state, and your Moon sign for guidance on caring for your inner child.
Your horoscope for the New Moon in Gemini on May 26, 2025, at 11:01 p.m. EST
Aries
Whew, Aries. Girl, y’all know you’re only at the beginning of a new journey, right? Saturn, the planet of growth, has entered your energetic orbit and is slowly guiding you toward long-term triumph. That means you’ll be working closely with Saturnian energy between now and April 14, 2028 (lol, enjoy that). In three years, you’ll be basking in the rewards of your spiritual breakthrough! This New Moon is the official kick-off, teaching you new ways to communicate and express yourself. Look up, babe—you’re growing.
Taurus
The constellations make it seem like you’ve got a lot on your mind, Taurus. The best thing you can do for yourself is keep a journal. Set your inner critic to the side and let whatever floats to the top of your mind spill onto the page. Daydreams, fears, hopes, or even random sounds—write it all. These brain dumps will act as a mirror to help you meet the version of you who can bring you peace. This New Moon is testing your values. Stand ten toes down in what you believe—unless you're handed evidence that it’s time to evolve.
Gemini
How does it feel being the belle of the ball, Gemini? You’re nearing the end of a long chapter in self-discovery. Just when you think you’ve flipped every rock and turned every page, you’ll be invited to look at it all again—but from a different angle. Moving from a “me-first” approach into a more collaborative and other-centered mindset is your next step. For now, soak up the spotlight. Soon enough, you’ll step gracefully into a more supportive role—and it will suit you beautifully.
Cancer
Try as you might to compartmentalize or dismiss your instincts, your sixth sense always finds a way to speak. During the New Moon in Gemini, you’ll finally see a situation clearly—maybe one you've been trying to delulu your way out of. But guess what? That’s not a bad thing. Honesty brings healing, and you’ll feel stronger for facing the truth head-on. Now that the rose-colored glasses are off, you can move with precision and power.
Leo
Keep your chin up, Leo—Pride Rock awaits. There may be a few important (and possibly humbling) health lessons coming your way. If you’ve been avoiding a doctor’s appointment or ignoring your wellness app, now’s the time to follow through. This New Moon has major blessings to offer, but they’ll require your full energy. And that means learning to rest when your body asks. Somatic self-care isn’t a punishment—it’s part of your three-year glow-up journey.
Virgo
Time to come out of the cave, Virgo. As much as you love your hermit era, every retreat needs a return. You can’t escape the world if you never re-enter it. This New Moon is guiding you back towards deep connection—especially in ways that can elevate your career. The relationships you build now may shape your professional path for years to come. So dust yourself off, step into the sun, and know that you’re supported as you reconnect.
Libra
What could you learn from a quick getaway outside your area code? The May 26 New Moon is inviting you to explore—literally. Whether it’s a road trip, flight, train ride, or even a bike adventure, movement is your magic. Just pick a direction and go. You’ll find a spark of inspiration hiding in unfamiliar places. Trust your wanderlust. When in doubt, lead with curiosity and play.
Scorpio
Oh, Scorpio. For someone who thrives in the depths, you might feel a little boxed in under this Gemini New Moon. Home transformations are taking up your energy, which makes being seen feel risky. But don’t retreat just yet—this is your cue to let someone into your space and soften your grip on control. Let go of the script. Let people surprise you. You’ll find joy in the spontaneity that follows.
Sagittarius
Partnerships are evolving in unexpected ways, Sag. Don’t panic—this is a good thing. You’re learning that real connection often comes after chaos, detours, and a few comedic errors. Be brave. Speak your truth. The people meant for you will stick around for the full ride. Take up space unapologetically—you deserve relationships that feel like home, not a performance. Bring your whole self. That’s how you call in what’s meant for you.
Capricorn
Take it easy, gym warrior. You’ve been grinding, and the Gemini New Moon wants you to switch up your pace. If you’re all about high-intensity workouts, try something slower. If you’ve been dragging, maybe it’s time to add a little fire. Opposite Day-style self-care is your best bet. Surprise your body. Refresh your routine. You’ll thank yourself later. And if you’re feeling confused about what you need? Ask your body—it always knows.
Aquarius
Yum, Aquarius. This New Moon wants you to enjoy yourself. Think: pleasure, curiosity, lighthearted chaos. Channel the energy of a flirtatious dolphin—yes, really—and give yourself permission to break the rules. Kiss someone unexpected. Ghost them playfully. Make mischief without strings. The world is your buffet—try everything. Life doesn’t always need to be a mission. Let fun be the purpose for once.
Pisces
Is there ever really an end to home improvement, Pisces? Probably not—but that’s what makes it beautiful. Your space is an extension of your soul, and this New Moon is asking you to bring it back to life. Whether it’s popcorn-shaped candle holders or circus-core decor (you heard me), it’s time to play. Not sure where to begin? Make a list of things that make you smile, then find ways to incorporate more of that into your home. The weird stuff belongs. So do you.
