New Moon May 2025 Astrology

The new moon on May 26, 2025, is at 06°05′ Gemini. The most significant planetary aspects directly impacting the new moon are the conjunction to Mercury and trine to Pluto. Not shown in the chart below is the fixed star Hyadum I at 06°09′ Gemini.

New Moon May 2025 Meaning

Sun conjunct Moon represents cyclic renewal as a new 28-day moon phase begins. You can draw a line under the past, turn over a new leaf, and start fresh. You can also question old habits, behaviors, and beliefs as you search for creative and inventive new ways to grow and prosper.

The monthly alignment of the Sun and Moon reconciles your conscious ego and subconscious feelings to provide balance, focus and perspective. It gives a rejuvenating burst of energy, initiative, and enthusiasm. So, the new moon May 2025 astrology is excellent for defining your priorities and setting ambitious goals.

Communicating

Sun conjunct Mercury highlights your thinking, communications, and short-distance travel. It brings mental alertness, quick thinking, adaptability, and curiosity. Expect increased personal interaction in your neighborhood, with siblings, at schools, and over the internet.

So, this will be a busy time with many appointments, correspondence, meetings, social activities, new information to process, and decisions to make. However, it is also a good time for sharing ideas, making plans, buying and selling, negotiating, and meeting new people.

Power

Sun trine Pluto brings confidence, willpower, ambition, inner strength and intense determination. This gives you greater control and influence over your life to achieve your goals, overcome hardship, solve problems, turn challenges into opportunities, eliminate bad habits and negative behaviors, recover from illness, and let go of the past.

Intense and profound experiences can help you transform or regenerate your identity, goals, and environment, gain wisdom and evolve your soul. This aspect is ideal for leaders, big business, politics, global organizations and clandestine societies. Secrets may be revealed and mysteries solved.

Communicating Power

Mercury trine Pluto brings single-minded focus, concentration, resourcefulness, and curiosity. You can perceive and understand more deeply, and express yourself more powerfully. It is perfect for study, research, psychology, astrology, investigation, propaganda, interrogation, spying, finding answers, uncovering secrets, solving mysteries and complex problems.

This aspect helps you compete, persuade, contemplate, and transform or eliminate outdated or harmful ideas, opinions or habits. You could also meet someone who deeply affects you through an idea or plan. A karmic friendship or a successful partnership may begin. 

New Moon in The Bull

The May 2025 new moon is in the Sign of Gemini. But because of the precession of the equinoxes, it is in the Constellation of Taurus.

The New Moon in the Taurus Constellation gives self-reliance, persistence, determination, endurance, powerful instincts, and courage. It makes you cautious, dignified, steadfast, discriminating, practical, acquisitive, accumulative, self-willed and security-seeking. But harshly aspected, it can cause possessiveness, self-gratification, inflexibility, and extravagance, and make you greedy, stubborn, overly cautious and boring. ^[1]

In mundane astrology, the Bull traditionally presages the results of the beginnings of large political undertakings, ^[2] proclamations, the start and end of wars, battles, invasions, sieges, and large constructions, statues, and monuments.

The May 26 new moon at 06°05′ Gemini most closely aligns with Gamma Tauri at 06°09′ Gemini. Termed Prima Hyadum or Hyadum I, it is the first star of the Hyades star cluster in the face of the Bull.

The Hyades Cluster gives tears, sudden events, violence, fierceness, poisoning, blindness, wounds or injuries to the head by instruments, weapons or fevers, and contradictions of fortune. ^[3]

This troublesome group causes storms and tempests both on land and sea. They have always been associated with rain and are favorable for agriculture. ^[2] The Hyades are a sorrowful group. But in times of crisis, they enable communication of the news to a panic-stricken population and firm control over them. ^[4]

The Hyades cause a staggering increase in sexual urge and self-preservation, which could lead to greediness, sexuality, a dissolute life, excessive and licentious ways, and a striving for prestige, leading to power politics. Bridling this tendency can lead to tremendous success in life. But when the pinnacle of the career is reached, the inherent nature may come again to the fore, and if uncontrolled, may lead to failure and fall from power. With the Hyades, power and strength must not be used to exploit other human beings. ^[5]

Fixed star Hyadum I is like Mars. It gives martial preferment but sudden changes, scandalous actions, unbridled statements or writings, secret bad habits, and judicial sentence. ^[1] Unhappy thoughts on a difficult planet or harshly aspected. But well-aspected, it denotes a good, clear thinker, writer or speaker. ^[4]

With New Moon: Lasting public popularity, possible fame or infamy, preferment in writings, sports, astrology, government and business affairs. Lack of caution can lead to violent situations, but usually without lasting effect. ^[1] Evil disposition, disturbed mind, failure in study, muddled thinking, misfortune, murderer or murdered, death by blows, stabs, shooting, beheading or shipwreck. ^[3]

The May 2025 new moon aligns with Mercury trine Pluto to spread profound information and powerful messages, reveal secrets, solve mysteries and transform thinking.

The May 26 new moon very closely aligns with the prime star of the Hyades. It is associated with sorrow and tears, but well-aspected to Pluto, it should improve thinking and communication abilities.
