Gemini Monthly Horoscope

A new moon in the twelfth house of endings sounds like a contradiction—unless you look at life as an infinite circle rather than a linear process. Endings ARE beginnings and vice versa, from that perspective. What could you let go of today? Where could you clear space or release some chapter of your life in order to make room for the new?

With the Sun and the new moon visiting this final house, it’s a time to take stock of the past year, acknowledge what you’ve accomplished and do a little pre-birthday life inventory. Decide what you DON’T want to bring into the next year of your life, then bid those adieu. But do it gently and in your own way, making space to feel the emotions that arise.

While you’re so focused, prepare to ponder your purpose in life as well. On May 2, investigative Pluto begins a five-month backspin, sparking an introspective journey until October 11. This year, Pluto will split its retrograde between Aquarius and Capricorn. 

Until September 1, Pluto will reverse through Aquarius and your expansive, metaphysical ninth house, which could find you questioning some deeply held beliefs. During this transit, you might embark on intensive research involving a philosophical or educational topic, engage in mind-expanding travel or attract people who make you rethink your assumptions. 

If you do take a vacation, keep your guard up as Pluto retrograde can magnetize some untrustworthy characters into your orbit. Return to a place where you’ve had a big life transformation or sign up for an international retreat. 

Get ready for another jolt on May 13, when the Sun makes its annual conjunction (meetup) with mad-scientist Uranus, possibly sparking some wild visions and vivid dreams. This day can open a powerful psychic portal. You might also get a jarringly direct download about an important change you need to make in your life. If you have a nagging feeling about a certain person, investigate. Someone could show their true colors in a shocking way, or you might get a strong urge to cut ties with a situation that’s draining your energy.

While you don’t want to do anything rash or irreversible, this Sun-Uranus meetup gives you the guts to say “enough!” Speak your truth, Gemini. Sometimes simply voicing your concern about a toxic situation could be THE thing that creates a new opportunity. Don’t write a relationship off completely until you’ve had a heart-to-heart. Chances are, you may unearth issues that neither of you realized were there. Maybe this is just a fork in the road and not the end of it.

This year, Taurus season comes with a special twist. On May 18, Jupiter will make an exact connection to the Sun, blessing you with the ability to see the big picture. This annual Sun-Jupiter conjunction, called the Day of Miracles, is believed by some astrologers to be one of the most fortunate days of the year. At the very least, it’s a chance to take a risk and stretch beyond the familiar. If luck is what you make of it, then you’re poised to attract opportunities, especially with the Sun and Jupiter parked in the most mystical zone of your chart! Put your manifesting talents to work, and you’ll get “double points” today.

Then…it’s lights on! On May 20, the Sun moves into Gemini and lifts you out of that contemplative cocoon. Don’t expect to go back to those confines anytime soon, either. Less than a week from now, adventurous Jupiter heads into Gemini for a year, and the pace will pick up fast.

But don’t rush off on your solo quest just yet. Partnerships are in the spotlight on May 23, when the full moon in optimistic Sagittarius beams into your seventh house of committed relationships. 

This full moon could bring a decisive moment between you and a significant other or a close colleague. Is it time to make things official? An opportunity to partner up could arise. Since full moons mark turning points, you might also end a contract or relationship that’s not feeding your soul, especially since this one will oppose Jupiter and love planet Venus, both at the very last degree of Taurus. Ask yourself: Why are you investing in people who don’t want or appreciate what you’re offering? As our friend Jackie says, “If it’s not a fountain, it’s a drain.” 

On the other hand, you might be the one sitting on the fence. No more! If you’ve done your due diligence and now you’re just putting off a decision, the Sagittarius full moon could demand that you stop equivocating and give a firm yes or no. You’ve been working toward this moment all year, Gemini—and you’re as ready as you’ll ever be! There’s freedom in choosing, so release any FOMO and self-doubt.

Need a couple more days to think it over? No problem! As we’ve mentioned, THE day you’ve been waiting for arrives this May 25, when lucky and expansive Jupiter finally exits Taurus and your sluggish twelfth house, journeying through Gemini until June 9, 2025. 

For many Geminis, the past 12 months have been one of the toughest cycles you’ve weathered in a long time. Expansive Jupiter has been slogging through Taurus and your twelfth house of sleep, endings and sacrifice since May 16, 2023. 

This transitional cycle, which happens every 12 years, is a major time of healing and release—but it’s not easy. Your vitality and motivation may have dropped to new lows (along with your moods and possibly even your bank balance). Some Geminis weathered health issues or just felt sluggish and mired in swampy emotions, unable to project a sunny disposition.

It was a time of rest—like one long retreat—and if you took advantage of this fluid energy, great. But most likely, you kept chugging along, stuck in a “hurry up and wait” holding pattern. You couldn’t force the pace to pick up, and your next moves may have been as clear as mud. At times, everything felt like an illusion. Just as you made one concrete move or firm decision, a curveball came out of nowhere, disrupting your plans without notice. Argh, Gemini!

The grand lesson of that Jupiter cycle was this: Surrender and go with the flow. Sounds easy enough, but as human beings, our tendency is to control, maneuver and fight the currents. If you finally decided to stop swimming upstream, you may have enjoyed some serene and spiritually uplifting moments. And if you kept going with this “trust the universe” vibe? Well, your manifesting powers could have opened some powerful floodgates

It might take a moment before you recognize it because Jupiter in the twelfth house can leave a tinge of planetary PTSD from the Sisyphean burden you bore. No doubt you battled fatigue while you slogged through grueling deadlines, supported a loved one or tried to find some Zen in the moment. 

One Gemini friend of ours is ending the cycle by closing down a business she’s had for more than 25 years. After much deliberating (and more than a side of heartache), she decided to downsize and move out of her beloved shop. Letting go would have been unthinkable prior to this Jupiter cycle. It will relieve a huge financial burden, and after processing the cocktail of emotions, she’s never felt more ready for a fresh start. 

We know Geminis who moved out of longtime homes, changed careers and made huge life changes that emerged from this Jupiter-in-Taurus cycle. And now, that shi(f)t is OVER. Can we get an amen? Yes, Gemini, YOU will be exclusively hosting the planet of luck, growth and opportunity for the next 12 months as Jupiter cruises through your sign until June 9, 2025. 

Get ready: You’re kicking off a brand-new 12-year chapter of your life. Your flagging energy levels will soon soar through the roof, and everything that felt like an uphill battle will start cruising along at a steady clip, picking up speed as it goes. All those heavy burdens you’ve been carrying can be left at the threshold. Out with the old and in with the new!

Jupiter was last in Gemini from June 11, 2012, to June 9, 2025. Dial back to that time in your personal history—you may see some familiar themes popping up now. But even if you don’t, that cycle has now come to an end, and you’ve turned to a fresh page and many of the struggles you weathered will turn into wisdom.

Perhaps you did some powerful forgiveness and deep healing work. You learned how to receive and let others support you, and embraced your vulnerability. You may have met a soulmate or gotten pregnant. Or you discovered who your REAL allies are. Since the twelfth house rules hidden enemies, you may have ejected some bad apples from your inner circle.

Move on with a lean, clean agenda and a brand-new attitude. Soon enough, you’ll be even clearer about the direction you want to take. The only way ahead is forward, so leave the past behind you and pour all your energy into the personal pursuits that light up your soul. Now, don’t you have a birthday party to plan?

With passionate Mars traveling through Aries and your eclectic eleventh house from April 30 until June 9, you might find love in the most unlikely places! (Not like you don’t anyway.) If you’re single, stay open to deepening connections with friends or people you meet through them. This realm also rules technology, so even if you haven’t had much success on dating apps, your luck could change now. Be authentic and don’t hide your “weird”—those unique and quirky qualities are what make you most attractive this month. 

Couples can look forward to a month of enhanced socializing—perhaps in a gathering of like-minded people or by getting involved with an important cause. Jump in by asking how you can use your talents to help, possibly by sharing their message with your network or hosting a fundraiser. Mars in this outgoing sector can spice up your shared social life. Join a spring sports team together (pickleball, anyone?) or get to know each other’s friends on a more personal level.

In between the lighthearted jaunts, you can enjoy some passionate moments too. Until May 23, romantic Venus is draped in sensual Taurus and your fantasy-fueled twelfth house. You may be viewing your relationships through rose-colored “love goggles” or be susceptible to an attraction that’s not firmly rooted in reality. (And if your response to that is “whatever,” well, enjoy the escape!) This confusing Venus transit could make you a little paranoid, so get the facts before you react. Venus in this hall of mirrors can distort reality. 

And on May 23, right before Venus leaves Taurus, it makes an extra-lucky meetup with abundant Jupiter. Under a full moon in Sagittarius and your partnership house, this could be a moment when you surrender to love and open your heart.

Have you stopped focusing on yourself and started obsessing over what you-know-who is doing or thinking? Right in the nick of time, your independent spirit returns with a vengeance. From May 23 to June 17, Venus swings into Gemini and your first house of identity, reminding you what a fun and sexy catch YOU are. Release the cling and get fully back into your own life. You’ll be a lot happier (and, as a byproduct, more appealing) when you take total responsibility for your own joy.

Unattached Twins could meet your match through a cultural event or by trying something novel. If you needed an excuse to nab those concert tickets or meet friends at a festival, here it is. Any sort of group hang will be fruitful for your love life. But take the pressure off yourself to find “the one” or make things exclusive too quickly. With Venus in your sign, you might fully embrace the magic of being single and free! With adventurous Jupiter entering your sign for a year on May 25, a whole lot of new options will soon arrive. You may surprise yourself with how open you are to playful experimentation; in fact, you might be the one leading the way. 

Rest up til the end of the month, Gemini. You’re about to embark on a yearlong cycle that will awaken you to your purpose and passions. But sit tight, because you’ll have to get through Taurus season, while the Sun is in your sleepy twelfth house, before Gemini time begins on May 20. 

Leaning on others will help you in every way. Teamwork is the key this month as fiery Mars spends the whole month in Aries, heating up your eleventh house of group endeavors and technology. A collaboration or online project that picked up the pace in late May could gain even more momentum as June rolls along. 

At the May 23 full moon in your partnership zone, you could be offered a contract or an opportunity to join forces. You may also make a firm decision to go your separate ways with a business partner. A dynamic duo that you’ve been on the fence with could become official.

Whatever the case, THE day of days arrives on May 25, when lucky and expansive Jupiter moves into your zodiac sign for the first time since mid-2013. Jupiter will be here until June 2025, so get ready for the start of a new 12-year chapter, one that will especially spotlight your personal interests and gifts. Get ready: After a year of feeling invisible, the spotlight is coming for you!
