Weekly Horoscope for May 26–June 1: New Moon, Who Dis?

This week is a high-frequency broadcast of possibility, distraction, ideas, contradictions, brilliant realizations, and revelatory chats. Try to keep up!

Monday, May 26: Gemini New Moon

The headliner is a new moon in Gemini, arriving on Monday, May 26, when the moon joins the sun at 6 degrees. Mercury, the planet in charge of the event, is just a few degrees behind, having just raced into Gemini, its home sign. This marks a rare kind of cosmic clarity—a fresh start with a built-in explainer video. These three are trine Pluto (retrograde!) in Aquarius, making for a vibe that's anything but superficial. You’re not being asked to feel something new; you’re being asked to think about why you’re feeling it, and what might happen if you followed that thread a little further than you usually let yourself.

This new moon hits in the first decan of Gemini, where, according to tarot queen T. Susan Chang, two big energies collide: The Lovers (choices!) and The Wheel of Fortune (fate’s chaotic little spinny game). One’s about picking your path. The other’s about getting what you get.

Her line? “The hand outstretched for blessings cannot also grasp a sword.” Basically: you can’t grab the future and let it come to you. Pick a lane. Or don’t. Gemini loves a detour!

This astrology isn’t asking you to control everything, just know when to take the wheel—and when to be the passenger princess.

Wednesday, May 29: Mercury Cazimi

And then, on Wednesday, May 29, we get a Mercury cazimi at 8 degrees Gemini. When a planet is cazimi—in the heart of the Sun—it is reborn. It’s clear-headed, laser-precise, and briefly immune to the usual cosmic static. This is a golden window for insight. You’re not guessing. You know!

And if all of this cerebral stargazing feels a little too heady, don’t worry. The week also comes with the undercurrent of seductive chaos in the form of Mars trine Venus, a lingering phenomenon that reached a fever pitch last week. (ICYMI, read all about it here.)

The bottom line: the inspiration for a fresh chapter is here, but the pen is in your hand. So, decide what you want, say what you mean, and try not to argue with yourself. You can just do things.

Curious exactly what it all means for you? Check your sun, moon and rising signs, and take what resonates! (Don’t know your moon or rising sign? Celeste can help.)

Aries
If life is a class in which you're enrolled, you’ve decided to take over the whiteboard and also rewrite the syllabus. Your mind is moving faster than your mouth (for once), and that’s saying something. This week, clarity strikes mid-sentence, and the right person is listening. Say it before the mood shifts.

Taurus
You’ve been budgeting your energy like it’s a limited resource—and it is—but this week you may notice a sudden surge in curiosity. Follow it. Even if it leads you into a minor existential crisis. Especially then. The answers aren’t on your spreadsheet.

Gemini
You are the moment. But being the moment is exhausting, especially when the moment keeps refreshing itself. A new moon in your sign is like being asked to describe yourself in one sentence and accidentally writing a manifesto. You are not lost. You are just thorough.

Cancer
Your inner monologue is wearing clunky heels this week. Things feel louder internally than they appear externally, and no one can see the plot twist you’re currently living through. That's okay. Let it marinate. What seems invisible is preparing to bloom—with or without witnesses.

Leo
Everyone is watching you (again), but this time you’re watching them back. The spotlight’s gone two-way mirror. You're used to leading with charisma, but right now, intellect is your aphrodisiac. Talk your talk. Then wink. Then leave the room better than you found it.

Virgo
You’ve been quietly restructuring your entire concept of success, and now it’s time to name it out loud. Not everything needs a ten-year plan. Some things—this week especially—just need a well-placed sentence and someone willing to listen. You’ve got both.

Libra
This week hums like a memory you haven’t had yet. There's an invitation here—psychic, symbolic, or maybe just a long-overdue email—that wants you to stop rehearsing your reply and just respond. Clarity is a luxury.

Scorpio
You’ve been in “quiet storm” mode, but this week your words acquire voltage. The right conversation unearths something you thought you buried in 2017. Let it. You don’t need to control the narrative. Just speak your part—softly, if you must, but unmistakably.

Sagittarius
The spotlight swings to your mirror. Relationships, entanglements, flings with shipping labels—something asks to be redefined. Maybe you say “yes.” Maybe you say “not anymore.” Either way, it’s your voice that sets the tone now. Make it ring true.

Capricorn
You're usually the person everyone asks for advice. This week, ask yourself. Not what you should be doing—but what would feel like a full-body “yes.” Expect a moment midweek when a task transforms into a message. There’s meaning in the mundane, if you’ll read between the spreadsheets.

Aquarius
You feel brighter this week, even if nothing on paper has changed. Something is clicking—intellectually, emotionally, maybe both. Make art. Make out. Make a playlist that contains one song you used to love but now understand. The creative impulse is not a distraction. It’s the truth, coded.

Pisces
Your house is full of ghosts this week—not scary ones, just the kind that rearrange the furniture of your memory. You’re suddenly fluent in a language you thought you’d forgotten: your own. The past is not trying to trap you. It’s trying to remind you who you were, and what part of that is still gold.
