On May 20, 2025, the Sun moves from the fixed, earth sign of Taurus into the mutable air sign of Gemini. 

 

Those with their Sun cusping Taurus (born in the first 1-5° of Gemini) will have tendencies also linked to the sign of Taurus.  Those individuals with their Sun in the last degrees of Gemini will also have Cancer tendencies especially internally.  These are cusp degrees.

 

Happy solar return to our friendly, curious, witty, communicative, thinking Sun in Gemini followers!
Sun in Gemini

Gemini, as mentioned, is a Mutable sign and these individuals are changeable, able to adapt to almost any condition, sometimes quite moody with changing temperaments frequency and quite often restless needing constant variety in life.  They usually do not like to stand still or to be idle. Geminians tend to go with the flow rather than fight against the current. 

 

Those with their Sun cusping Taurus still carry the same traits as the above-mentioned, but also have concerns about the finances, wish to move forward in the same direction rather than constantly changing direction, are more steadfast in their approach and more reliable.  Financial security is often more important for those with Taurus cusping than those with the Sun in the middle degrees of Gemini.  Decants must also be considered.

 

Those Geminians with their Sun cusping Cancer are more concerned with family affairs, are also more emotional than the typical Gemini. Sensitivity and the need to protect their family runs strong with the late degree Gemini individuals.  Decants again play a part with the later degree of Gemini. 

 

The Sun sign of Gemini is an air sign suggesting these individuals are ruled by their mind and quite adept at conversation, unless Mercury is poorly aspected in the natal chart. 

 

Mercury rules Gemini and most Gemini take an interest in learning.  Education is important in the schooling of the mind, whether through actual academic learning or the schooling of life.  Geminians like to know a little about a lot, but many tend to skim the surface. Those individuals with Taurus tendencies, however, will likely run deep into subjects that interest them. 

 

Geminians are the talkers of the Zodiac.  They tend to mingle with others, have a wide range of interests, are fond of discussions, listen but also think while they listen, which at times will get in the way.  They usually have a wide circle of friends (more likely acquaintances).  They enjoy socializing and many also participate in groups as they can share their ideas with others and learn.  Geminians can be quite convincing but are also subject to a change of heart or thinking, as they review and process what has been said. 

 

Gemini individuals are very much in the moment, but also deeply embedded in their thought processing.

 

Happy solar return to our friendly, curious, witty, communicative, thinking Geminian followers!

The planet Mercury has to do with our thinking process.  It also has to do with evaluation, speculation, integration and information. 

 

The placement of Mercury in the Natal Astrology chart, by sign and house position along with natal aspects determines how your mind operates and how it deals with information, both favourable and challenging.  Regardless of how your Mercury is aspected in your natal chart, you have options as to how you wish to deal with life’s adversities and also how you wish to move forward when opportunity strikes.

 

The transits of Mercury & its retrograde motion are short lived as it moves quickly though the Zodiac. Mercury is neutral & needs stimulation. Use Mercury’s retrograde periods to plan & then act when Mercury goes direct.
The Transits of Mercury & Its Retrograde Motion

As Mercury moves through the Zodiac, it forms aspects to all of your planets over a relatively short period of time, quite opposite from the movement of the slow outer planets.  Mercury is known as a neutral planet, suggesting that it needs stimulation from outside sources before it becomes activated.  A transit to your Natal Mercury is quite different in energy from an aspect by Transiting Mercury to your natal positions.

 

Transiting Mercury changes signs at least once every month unless it goes into retrograde.  Retrograde motion is when a planet appears to move backwards in the Zodiac.  Outer planets are in retrograde about half of the time through the year.  Mercury remains in retrograde for about three weeks at a time.  It can change signs while in retrograde motion, therefore moving over the same degree in your chart three times until it finally moves direct again and continues its forward motion.

 

Many individuals fear Mercury while in its retrograde cycle but this is a bit of a fallacy.  What Mercury suggests while in retrograde is that you review your current plans before actually moving forward with them.  Mercury retrograde is a time for studying and integrating and then moving ahead when Mercury moves out of retrograde and back into direct motion.  We are not saying stop your plans to do or buy something. We suggest caution, however, if you are signing documents as the outcome may not go as planned.  Some challenges may interrupt the flow of things.

 

It is also important to know that those with Mercury retrograde in their birth charts may have more issues when Mercury is in retrograde by transit.  It should also be noted that Mercury must affect a planetary position or angle in your natal chart by no more than 3-4° of orb for it to have any type of effect in your chart. 

 

For example, if Mercury crosses your Sun in Gemini at 3° and your Mercury is retrograde in your birth chart, it will have an impact on your chart especially if Mercury conjuncts or is in opposition to this placement (the Sun in Gemini in our example).  Squares and Trines along with Sextiles have a lessor effect, and the energies will not be as bad as you might think they may be. 

 

Those individuals that do not have Mercury retrograde in their natal charts may experience nothing more than a minor setback, if at all, during Mercury’s retrograde cycle.

 

As a side note, all planets except for Saturn while moving through their retrograde cycle do not operate at full capacity.  Saturn, however, seems to operate with far less restrictions while in retrograde than it would in direct motion. 

 

The transits of Mercury & its retrograde motion are short lived as it moves quickly though the Zodiac. Mercury is neutral and needs stimulation. Use Mercury’s retrograde periods to plan and then act when Mercury goes direct. There is nothing to fear with Mercury retrograde.

Part II

 

As mentioned on Monday, May 12, 2025, this is an astrology article which speaks of the outer planetary movement taking place now and in the near future. 

 

As mentioned yesterday, Pluto has already made this change moving from Capricorn into Aquarius and in the next coming months Neptune will move from Pisces into Aries, Uranus will move from Taurus into Gemini and Saturn will move from Pisces to Aries.  Jupiter will also move from Gemini into Cancer while the inner planets (Mercury, Venus and Mars) continue in their movement from sign to sign on a much more rapid pace.

 

During this time frame (which is over a period of about one year), Pluto will be in Sextile to Neptune, and Saturn and Trine to Uranus. 

 

Neptune will Conjunct Saturn, and Trine Uranus, and Saturn will also Sextile Pluto. 

 

These are all favorable aspects coming into play and this should indicate a time when the world goes through some transformational energies which hopefully will be widely accepted, and change will begin to unfold in a positive manner. 

 

We focused on Pluto and Neptune in yesterday and today we continue with Uranus and Saturn.

 

The outer planets indicating a big change on the horizon are Pluto, Uranus, Neptune and Saturn. Utilize the energies and be open to the possibilities. Do what you can in your own little corner of the world as what unfolds may be quite pleasant and beneficial.
Outer Planets Are Indicating Big Change

With Uranus moving into Gemini, which is a much more comfortable placement for Uranus being invigorating and pushes for the seeking of enlightenment. As a result of this transition into Gemini a door will be opening for us.  Clearer understanding is likely, as well as an awareness beyond what would be sought when Uranus was in Taurus.  Uranus ruled by Aquarius brings forth awakening energies which will push those in tune with their higher self and inner self. This should stimulate many others to awaken to the possibility of a newfound freedom that works equally for each and every one of us.

 

Saturn moving from Pisces to Aries will have similar effects of Neptune moving through Pisces. Neptune and Saturn will also connect by aspect and join forces beginning in May, 2025.  This should bring to the forefront proof, beyond reasonable doubt, that the mystical side of life is alive and well. There will, however, be a real push to make things practical and more credible perhaps embracing the understanding that there is much more to our existence than the everyday life of work, sleep and eat.

 

Hopefully these energies, working together in harmony, bring forth what is needed during these turbulent times. We likely will be able to begin focusing our helping mankind reach its potential as well as to clear up the unrest that our planet is currently experiencing. 

 

Our combined expectations, our preconceived notion of what is possible, our belief structures and focuses and our efforts together create our reality.

 

The outer planets indicating a big change on the horizon are Pluto, Uranus, Neptune and Saturn. Utilize the energies and be open to the possibilities. Do what you can in your own little corner of the world as what unfolds may be quite pleasant and beneficial.
