The cosmos delivers a rare gift this week as Mercury returns to his home sign of Gemini without a single challenging aspect. Unlike last year when Saturn's restrictive energy dampened Mercury's entrance, this year we're witnessing the planet of communication at full power – like a king on his throne with all resources at his disposal.

What makes this transit extraordinary is the celestial party happening in Gemini. Jupiter, the greater benefic, brings expansion and blessings. The Sun shines its spotlight, and a New Moon occurs on May 26th, creating a perfect storm of positive communication energy. For writers, marketers, networkers, or anyone relying on clear expression, this combination creates a golden opportunity to speak words of power that manifest more readily than usual.

The week unfolds like a cosmic gift basket: Mercury sextiles Saturn (providing structure and connection to influential people), then Neptune (enhancing imagination and spiritual insights), followed by a powerful trine to Pluto (giving words transformative power). On May 29th, Mercury connects directly with the Sun in a Kazemi, supercharging all mercurial activities. Look to which house Gemini occupies in your chart to see where this energy impacts you most directly – whether in finances, relationships, career, or creativity.

This Gemini season emphasizes connections with others, particularly in-person interactions. Whatever you launch during this period carries Jupiter's blessing forward through completion. Even existing projects receive renewed vibrancy from the New Moon energy. Saturn and Neptune's near-conjunction creates "dream it, make it so" energy, allowing you to articulate visions and connect with people who can help manifest them. Take advantage of this week to network, pitch ideas, negotiate contracts, or simply speak your truth – the universe is listening attentively now, with Mercury at full strength in his home sign.

Speaker 1 (00:02):
hello and welcome to Pisces moon astrology.
I'm your astrologer, kateLeonard, and I'm excited to
explore the stars with you.
Hey, everyone, welcome to theweek of May 25th through May
31st.
And I and I know I say thisevery week but wow, oh, wow, oh,

(00:25):
wow, mercury is in Gemini,sitting on his own throne, and
he's getting no negative ordifficult aspects.
Wow, let's talk about it Allright, before jumping right into
the whole party that is thisweek and that's going to make

(00:46):
sense in just a little bit.
Please like, follow, subscribe,download, share, do all the
stuff, and there are links downbelow to book readings with me
and also to get to my very freesub stack and all the stuff.
I'd be ever so grateful andmoving right along, because,
honestly, this week is sogigantic and so much fun that I

(01:09):
don't even want to spend anymore time on the self-promo
stuff, though that may change,because actually, this week
coming up is a really good weekfor marketing.
Just an aside, all right, sowe've got Mercury going into his
home sign of Gemini on May 25th.

(01:30):
This is huge.
This is huge.
This happens every year, butlast year, when Mercury went
into Gemini, he was getting aharsh aspect from Saturn, saturn
, the planet of limitations,saying no hard work, all of that
stuff.
Right, that was not thehappiest Mercury this Mercury

(01:53):
this year, this week.
Wow, no bad aspects from anyone.
And in the house with him, inGemini.
With him, we've got Jupiter,the greater benefic, the planet
of expansion and luck and wisdomand all kinds of great stuff,

(02:15):
and we've got the sun shiningthe spotlight.
The other thing we've got is anew moon in Gemini, because
where the sun is, that's where anew moon's going to be.
That was kind of obvious, Iguess.
Anyway, we've got the new moon.
So the stuff that I'm going tobe talking about today, think
setting new moon intentions.

(02:37):
If you're that kind of person,boy, howdy, everything that I'm
talking about today, let thatguide you around your new moon
intention setting.
And I'm also going to juststart right off the bat, because
I know I have a lot of writersin my audience.
Mercury rules communication ofall kinds.

(02:57):
So you writers listen up.
This is your week, oh, wow.
But everybody, not just writers, I'm telling you, let's get
into it.
Oh, and I forgot to give youall the other things going on
this week.
You know what?
Every other main thing going onthis week.
Guess who it's about?
Mercury, oh my gosh.

(03:19):
So just in case you'reinterested, when he moves into
Gemini on the 25th, he's goingto immediately sextile Saturn in
Aries.
Now, I know I just said Saturnwas all bad and everything,
right.
No, only when he's making asquare or an opposition.
A sextile is an aspect ofopportunity.

(03:42):
So Saturn, besides other things, rules being able to really
stick to it.
So the stuff that we're puttingin place this week and there's
going to be a whole lot of stuffI promise you Saturn is going
to give us the stick to it.
Now, a sextile won't force thaton us, but it will make it

(04:03):
available.
Saturn is also influentialpeople, right?
So there may be someinfluential people and this week
is all about people.
So hold on to that.
But this is a good Saturn, nota bad Saturn.
All right, on the 26th, the verynext day, we get Mercury making

(04:23):
that same sextile angle ofopportunity with Neptune.
You know I don't normally likeNeptune, but the sextile is a
good angle.
Fiction writers, actors,anybody, screenwriters who write
fictional scripts, right,neptune is imagination, but

(04:45):
Neptune is also spirituality.
So new ideas about spirituality.
But you writers, I am tellingyou this week, oh my gosh.
Then, on the 27th, we've gotMercury making a gorgeous trine
to Pluto in Aquarius.
This is the power of words.

(05:07):
This is what you say holdspower, speaking from your power.
And then on the 29th, as ifthis whole week isn't already
magical enough, we've gotMercury connecting directly with
the Sun.
That's called a Kazemi, that'swhen the planet is in the heart

(05:28):
of the Sun.
And what happens then?
Anything unnecessary gets burntaway and it's like plugging the
planet into a superchargerbattery.
This is incredible.
This is your ideas, your speech, communication, this is
socializing, this is connectionswith people, and it's all going
to get amped up.

(05:49):
So this week is just thebeginning of this renewal of
Mercury.
Everyone wow.
All right, but let's get intoit.
I've already made pretty clear,I've already given the reminder
.
Remember that Mercury is theplanet of communication.
That's all kinds ofcommunication talking, writing,
you doing you-ing, commerce,marketing, short distance travel

(06:14):
, and we don't talk about this alot, but Mercury is the
original planet oftransformation.
Mercury is the original planetof transformation.
Mercury is constantly changingposition in relation to the sun.
He's the evening star and thenhe moves to be the morning star,
and then he moves back acrossthe sun to be the evening star

(06:35):
and he's continuallytransforming.
So whatever's happening thisweek, consider that there's
going to be somethingtransformative about it.
I love it.
I love it so much.
Now let's talk about Gemini.
This is one of his and you knowI always say so Mercury rules
Gemini.

(06:55):
When a planet is in his ownrulership, it's like the king
sitting on his own throne.
He has all of his resourcesavailable to him.
He is as strong as he can bebecause he wants for nothing.
So Mercury being in Gemini ispowerful, all right, but let's

(07:17):
talk about what Gemini is.
They call Gemini I don't knowwho they is we astrologers, I'm
not sure we call Gemini thesocial butterfly sign.
Gemini is social and social ina kind of fun way, a lot.
It's like parties andconnections and meeting up with

(07:38):
people and talking becauseMercury communication right.
And meeting up with people andtalking because Mercury
communication right All kinds ofsocial events, social
gatherings, but also things likepartnerships, networking,
networking right.
If this falls in like yoursecond house of money or your

(07:59):
10th house of career or evenyour eighth house of combined
resources, this could really beabout professional networking,
really really good.
Gemini is all about peopleconnection and Mercury is all
about communication.
So you get where we're going.
This is a busy week.
It's exciting.

(08:19):
We're going to be gettingtogether with people and I
advise you right now and a lotof you are not going to like
this and you're not going tolisten to this If you can get
together with people in person,it's going to be a big big deal.
Now, if you're in a situationwhere all of your meetings need

(08:40):
to be online or whatever, I'mnot saying those aren't going to
be great.
They're going to be great, butremember, this is an ancient
system, right, and Gemini reallylikes to connect people.
So if there are in real lifenetworking opportunities or you
can just get together withfriends or family off screen,

(09:02):
those are going to be really,really powerful unions.
And talking about super, supergood, jupiter the greater
benefic that's what the ancientastrologers called Jupiter the
greater benefic, the luckiestplanet, the most blessed planet
in the sky.
Jupiter is also in Gemini.

(09:23):
Jupiter rules expansion andblessings, bringing expansive
energy and blessed energy to.
Whatever is going on for youthis week related to Mercury,
communications, businesstransactions, all the stuff that
I've already said and Geminiwhat house is that for you?
Is that finances, familyrelationships, sex, art?

(09:49):
Where is Gemini for you,because that is going to expand
that area of your life, is goingto get extra blessings.
Get extra blessings especiallyif you're really making use of
this mercurial energy, if you'rereally going out there and

(10:10):
making the people, connectionsand having the conversations and
writing the stuff whetherthat's writing your marketing
plan, whether that's writing acontract, a proposal, whether
that's writing your novel, itdoesn't matter.
Get to work on it, becauseJupiter is going to bless that.
And remember, even though we'retalking about the energy of this

(10:33):
week, whatever you launch inthis energy, this is going to
continue on through that project.
Okay, so don't think that it'slike, oh well, great, I get a
few good writing days or a fewgood I don't know job
negotiation days, and then what?
How much can I reallyaccomplish?

(10:54):
You can accomplish the worldright, or, as kids say, to
infinity, because Jupiter isthere and this energy is going
to carry through to the end ofwhatever you launch this week.
So get the launch going.
Then, on top of it, we've gotthe sun in the house.

(11:16):
This is amazing and let meexplain why is amazing.
And let me explain why.
Normally I don't like, nobodylikes or not not like.
I'll try to explain.
It's not great to have the suntoo close to a planet.

(11:36):
Because the sun is so brightthat you can, the planet goes
invisible.
That is not usually a goodthing.
The only time a planet gets akind of exemption from that is
when he's in a sign.
He rules.
So Mercury gets the spotlightof the sun.
That means we get it.
We don't care what Mercury gets, kate, I want the spotlight on

(11:56):
me.
Yeah, me too.
Okay, so to see it like, you arecenter stage, you've got
communication, you've got thegift of communication because
you're going to be.
The words are going to beflowing beautifully, no matter
what they're about love, money,whatever it is and the spotlight

(12:16):
is on you and you get to own it.
Mercury's not eclipsed in it.
You get to just stand there andpicture this as like the
monologue of your life.
Right, you're in the spotlightand you deliver those words of
power.
Remember, I said earlier we'regoing to have that relationship

(12:37):
with Pluto going on and that isthe power of your words.
With the spotlight on you, thesky is the limit.
You guys, I don't even know howto even make this as big as I
think it's going to be.
Okay, I am really, reallyoptimistic about this upcoming
week.
It's just so blessed.

(13:07):
Then, actually, on the 26th, theday after Mercury goes into
Gemini, lighting up all of thisstuff that I've been talking
about, we get the new moon, thenew moon in Gemini.
This is renewal, this is newopportunities, this is a new
beginning.
So, whatever things are up foryou, whatever's up for you this
week, and look at the house.
Look at the house where this ishitting you.
That's going to be the mostdirect connection, but we're

(13:31):
going to all be getting thismercurial boost anyway.
In a sort of more general way,set your intentions.
If you're one of those peoplewho likes to do their monthly
new moon intentions, set itaround business, writing,
communicating, marketing, socialgroups, social acceptance, all

(13:54):
of that kind of stuff Anythingconnected to Mercury.
This new moon is a newbeginning.
It also brings renewal toongoing projects.
So it's not that you have to gostart a new novel this week.
It's not that you have to gofind new friends or a new job,
though you can do all of thosethings right.

(14:16):
You absolutely can start brandnew projects that you've been
wishing you could start andmaybe not quite feeling it.
Yeah, start that stuff, butwith this new moon, this new
cycle energy happening, therewill also be a sort of renewal
to existing projects.
So if you've already beenwriting the Great American Novel

(14:39):
, there's going to be some kindof renewed energy, renewed
vibrancy to that project.
If you're already kind ofhanging out with friends or you
know you were going to gettogether for a thing or whatever
, there's going to be aninfusion of energy and a new
vibrancy that's coming to this.

(15:00):
Jobs, whatever it is right,there's going to be this newness
to it.
So newness, expansion, blessings, the spotlight, so recognition,
words of power all of thesethings are happening this week

(15:21):
and really I can't say enoughabout how excited I am.
The other thing I just saidwords of power.
So I know we're not all writers, we're not all gifted with what
is that they say the gift of?
We don't all have the gift ofgab.
I don't know if that's an oldthing, right?
I think my grandma used to saythat we don't all have the gift

(15:43):
of conversational skills orwhatever.
Some of us are shy orintroverted, it can be in
private, but speak words ofpower this week.
This is the week to use yourmantras, your affirmations and
just words of power.
I am a freaking star, right?

(16:04):
Just words of power.
Say them to yourself in themirror if you need to, and if
that's too intimidating, waittill after dark and say them.
You know, in the dark I don'tknow how shy maybe you are, but
you get what I'm saying.
Speak your words of power,speak your truth.
You will manifest and peoplewill listen.

(16:27):
This is just pretty incredibleall the way around.
So that's the gist of what'sgoing on.
That's the big stuff, theMercury stuff.
I do want to give you a littleteeny extra bit, just because
I'm nice that way, don't youthink you know how I said that

(16:48):
Mercury is going to be makingthat sextile to Saturn and
sextile to Neptune the very nextday.
What that means, of course, isthat Saturn and Neptune are
pretty much conjunct.
They are within one degree ofeach other.
They're in Aries.
We've been talking a lot aboutAries because that's where Venus

(17:10):
is, chiron's there.
So we've been talking a lotabout Aries and that power to
self.
That me focus on me aspect ofAries.
I do want to point out that,while Saturn and Neptune are
conjunct, saturn's aboutbuilding structure and Neptune's

(17:34):
about dreaming dreams.
So this is the dream.
It make it so connection.
I wanted to point that outspecifically because they're
both sextiling Mercury.
So dream it, make it so.
This week, look at the wayssocial connection, network

(17:56):
partners, friends, family,whomever, or even written things
like proposals, contracts,query letters, whatever it is
how do you start to build thefoundation of your dreams?
Saturn and Neptune?
By communicating them and usingyour social networks to

(18:18):
jumpstart them.
Does that make sense?
That's a little complicated.
Them Does that make sense?
That's a little complicated, Iknow.
So I hope that makes sense.
It's that Saturn-Neptuneconnected to each other.
Dream it, make it realconnected to Mercury,

(18:46):
communicate it, network it.
I think that makes sense right.
So that's basically it for thisweek.
It is.
If that wasn't already like sobig, I'm so excited.
Anyway, thank you so much forlistening.
I know sometimes when I'm thisexcited, I'm not as clear as I
would hope to be.
So I hope this is all clear.
I hope it was helpful to all ofyou and again I want to thank
you so much for being with me.
Thank you for sharing,spreading the word about the

(19:06):
podcast.
I'm really trying to get it togrow.
Thank you to all the peoplefrom other countries who are
listening in.
That still blows me away.
I am so glad to have you, butthank you also to all my people
in the US.
I appreciate all of you.
I just really do.
And yeah, go out and make somefun.

(19:27):
This is a great week forparties.
Go have some fun With thatuntil next week.
Go out and seize the energiesof the stars.
This is my wish for you always,and if I were you this week, I
would seize that energy at areally fun party.
Take care y'all, I'll see younext time.

(19:47):
Bye.
