We apologize for the inconvenience but it is worth the jump over to our blogspot.

We are going to take a quick look at a couple of aspects that will affect Sun in Gemini this year. See our post on Sun in Geminin posted May 15 at https://www.holmastrology.com/post/sun-in-gemini-5


Happy solar return Sun in Gemini! These aspects for those with their Sun in Gemini 2025 are suggesting change and the transition period for these changes can be much easier if you work with the energies and not fight them.
Aspects for Sun in Gemini 2025

Those Geminians with their Sun in the early degrees of Gemini will have several major aspects with the outer planets, some of which are already in place and others are to come. 

 

On July 7, 2025, Uranus, although temporarily, will move into Gemini.  It stays in Gemini until November 8, 2025, then it returns to Taurus.  Uranus then again goes into Gemini April 26, 2026, and from that day forward for about 7 years remains in Gemini before it moves into the next sign, Cancer.

 

Transiting Uranus seeks change and sometimes in a rather dynamic fashion.  It is known as the awakener and does just that.  It clearly shows what needs revamping, what needs a new direction and what is required, often because what was in place no longer suits our evolutionary quest and our essential direction in life.

 

Uranus is quite unpredictable, and its action can be sudden and unexpected.  Quite often we get little hints that change is needed prior to its eventual demanding push, and we can make these moves if we so desire on our own. However, these changes will happen as they are not a request, they are a necessity. Change is required and these changes take place with or without our conscious consent as they are necessary for our continued growth.

 

When in aspect to the Sun, and especially by conjunction (the most powerful aspect of all the five major aspects), our goals in life and life’s direction are part of the unfolding.  On a deeper level even our essences is subject to concentrated focus and evaluation and some change is often a requirement.  Much of what transpires will depend on the placement of transiting Uranus, the natal Sun and Natal Uranus by house placement and aspect configuration within natal chart.

 

Transiting Pluto is already making a Trine to those Geminians with their Sun in the early degrees of Gemini.  Transiting Pluto currently (May 2025) is in retrograde at 3° in Aquarius.  As mentioned, Uranus speaks of change of direction and now Pluto speaks of disruption to the flow of things because a full change of direction is required.  There are no half measures about the actions of Pluto.  Pluto can be dynamic although often begins in a rather subtle manner opening doors that are now needing to be open.  Although both Uranus and Pluto speak of the need for change, Pluto being in Trine suggests that the shift of direction is likely very absolute and very productive and favorable. 

 

If, for example, Pluto was either moving into the seventh house or already in the seventh house then the potential for a change in relationships of significance, usually the partner and is subject to moving in a different direction.  The relationship will undergo a transformation and regeneration if that is a requirement and then move forward in the direction that is most suitable for the individuals concerned. 

 

The likelihood of the Sun, in this example, being in the third or fourth house is quite possible so not only will it affect the life path and inner regeneration, it will also have something to do with the home and family and communication techniques.  If in the third for example, then communication is highlighted especially in everyday affairs.  If in the fourth house, the home front and family or perhaps one of the parents being part of the conditions unfolding is likely. 

 

There are other aspects in force for Sun in Gemini but this post will only touch on these influences. 

 

Happy solar return Sun in Gemini! These aspects for Sun in Gemini 2025 are suggesting change and the transition period for these changes can be much easier if you work with the energies and not fight them.

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.
