✨ Week Ahead Forecast: A New Reality

Begin Here

Before we dive into what’s ahead, just take a moment to notice where you are. Not where you thought you’d be. Not where you wish you were. Just… here.

The Tao teaches us that when we’re present, we’re in harmony with the Way. That clarity comes when the mud is left to settle, not stirred. This isn’t about doing more, pushing ahead, or trying to figure it all out. It’s about allowing. Letting what is, be.

Saturn has just stepped into Aries. A new cycle begins, not just collectively, but for each of us. But before we start building something new, we need to make space. That means taking stock. Looking honestly at where we are. What we’ve learned. What we’re carrying. And what we’re ready to leave behind.

So don’t rush. Slow down. Be here. Let this moment be enough.

The new is coming. But first, gratitude. Awareness. Presence. Then we begin.

🪐 Saturn Enters Aries – Sunday 25th May (London)

The New Cycle Begins

A new collective Saturn cycle starts now. The God of Time, Challenge and Responsibility steps into the fire of Aries, where He is in His fall. That means He’s uncomfortable here. The old robes of tradition burn off. Saturn in Aries isn’t about preserving the past it’s about building something new from scratch.

🪐 Newbie Tip: Notice where you're feeling the urge to begin again—but also the resistance. You might feel a bit impatient or like you “should already know” what you’re doing. You don’t. That’s okay. You’re not behind. You’re at the start. Let yourself be a beginner.

🔨 The Work: What are you being called to take responsibility for? What old patterns need burning off before you build the new? Where does your life need structure, but one shaped by you, not others?

✨ Mercury Sextile Saturn & Neptune — 26 May

Messages From the Divine

Mercury in Gemini forms a sextile with both Neptune and Saturn—connecting clarity, intuition, and responsibility. This is a beautiful moment to receive insight and guidance.

🌱 Newbie Tip: Pay attention to the words that land. It might be something a friend says. A lyric. A journal entry. A dream. What message feels bigger than the moment?

💬 The Work: Slow down. Write. Speak truth. Don’t just rush past your thoughts—hold space for them. What are your conversations trying to teach you? What responsibility are you being asked to take for the way you communicate?

🌑 New Moon in Gemini — 26 May

A New Story Begins

The Gemini New Moon is a fresh chapter in the realm of thought, ideas, language and learning. If Saturn in Aries is the builder, this New Moon is the blueprint drawn in pencil—editable, playful, imaginative.

🌚 Newbie Tip: Set intentions around communication, connection and curiosity. Journal what you’re curious about. Who do you want to talk to more honestly? Where do you want to learn something new?

📝 The Work: Gemini reminds us we are not our thoughts—but we are in relationship with them. What mental patterns do you want to shift? Can you rewrite an old story you've been telling yourself?

💬 Mercury Trine Pluto — 27 May

Truth Has Weight

Mercury speaks with Pluto now, offering a deep excavation. This is where the insight you had earlier in the week starts to uncover something more profound.

🌌 Newbie Tip: Conversations might take a serious turn—or you may find yourself saying something you didn’t realise you believed until it left your lips. Watch what rises when you really listen.

🔍 The Work: Dig beneath the surface. Are you being honest with yourself about what you want? What fears are hiding behind your words—or your silence?

🔥 Mercury Cazimi — 29 May

The Mind Reborn

Mercury moves through the heart of the Sun. This is a Cazimi—when Mercury is purified and reborn in the Sun’s fire. It’s a moment of insight, clarity, or a turning point in understanding.

🌞 Newbie Tip: This is a great day to write, speak, pitch, publish—or to reflect. It’s a cosmic reset for the mind. What’s suddenly crystal clear?

🧠 The Work: How can you honour what you’ve realised? What truth is ready to be integrated, not just acknowledged?

⚠️ Background Vibe: Saturn–Neptune Conjunction (in formation)

The Dream Becomes Real… Or Falls Apart

Though it won’t perfect until 2026, the energy of Saturn moving into Aries means the long, slow build of the Saturn–Neptune conjunction has now begun. These two Gods ask: what dream are you ready to commit to? What illusions are you still clinging to?

🌊 Newbie Tip: You might feel unclear, overwhelmed, or strangely inspired. That’s Neptune. Ground your visions. Let Saturn help you bring the dream to Earth.

🌱 The Work: What fantasy is ready to become a plan? And what fantasy is asking to be gently released, with grace?

Rising Sign Forecasts

Here are your Gemini New Moon Rising Sign Reflections for the week of 26 May – 1 June 2025. This isn’t just a New Moon—it’s a full activation of your Gemini house. The Moon plants a seed.

✨ Feeling the shift as Saturn steps into Aries? Wondering what this new chapter means for you?

Whether you're deep in the work or just starting to tune in, a one-to-one reading can help you make sense of what’s stirring—and how to walk forward with clarity.

I offer online sessions and in-person appointments at Essential Therapies in Sidmouth.

Come and sit with me. Let’s explore what this new beginning is asking of you.

For those new to astrology:

This forecast assumes a bit of an understanding of astrology and some practice at feeling into the energy of the moment to see how it's manifesting for you in your experience. If you are a beginner then it may not be easy to discern or feel, especially when everything is so loud.

So, a recommendation: If you are learning, then pick one of the transits - whatever feels most interesting to you - and take note of when it is happening. Then just pay attention to what themes arise - I'll make some suggestions in the newbie note. Notice what’s showing up in your mood, your body, your conversations, or even in the stories you’re drawn to on telly or in the news. It’s not about getting it “right”, it’s about getting curious. That’s where the magic starts.

As you get more practiced with noticing you can expand your awareness to more than one transit in the week and before long you'll be immersed in the astrology and your way of being in, and experiencing the world, will have shifted into something altogether more magical!

For more on all this, read this post.

You may also find the rising sign forecast helpful because this will narrow the range to where you're most likely to feel and notice the transits in your life. If you don't know your rising sign then fill in this contact form and give me your birth date, place and time and I will send you a picture of your birth chart and an overview of your rising sign. If you'd like a comprehensive overview of your chart then book a reading with me and I'll explain it all to you!

A note on AI & my writing:

I use ChatGPT as a writing assistant—not as a writer. These are my thoughts, ideas, and words, shaped by my lived experience and deep love for self-work, self-awareness, the spiritual journey, and astrology. AI helps me refine, structure, and nudge me toward better phrasing, but the voice you’re reading is mine. I use it as a tool to help me put into words everything I believe is valuable in sharing my insights. Honesty matters to me, and this is simply one way I bring my thoughts to life.
