[Fate & Free Will ] Astrology for the Week of May 19 - 25

This is a major week of massive vibe shifts. Both the Sun and Mercury move into Gemini and Saturn moves into Aries for the first time in about 30 years.

Monday 05/19

• ☽ at 13° 20‘ Aquarius ✳ ♀︎ at 13° 20‘ Aries | 2:18 AM Eastern
• ☽ at 14° 28‘ Aquarius ☍ ♂︎ at 14° 28‘ Leo | 4:22 AM Eastern
• ☽ at 16° 27‘ Aquarius □ ☿ at 16° 27‘ Taurus | 8:00  AM Eastern

Monday conversations can get heated fast in the morning or don’t go quite as planned. You might find yourself clarifying something that felt obvious in your head. 

Happily, it should get easier as the day moves on to find the right words and gain momentum.

• Best for: spotting overlooked details or smoothing out rough drafts of communication
• Potential Challenges: misunderstandings caused by assumptions, tone, or scattered thinking

Tuesday 05/20

• ☽ at 25° 23‘ Aquarius △ ♃ at 25° 23‘ Gemini | 12:12 AM Eastern
• ☽ at 27° 26‘ Aquarius □ ♅ at 27° 26‘ Taurus | 3:53 AM Eastern
• ☉ at 29° 37‘ Taurus ✳ ♄ at 29° 37‘ Pisces | 5:38 AM Eastern
• 🌗 Last Quarter Moon | 758 AM Eastern
• ☽ V/C | 7:58 AM - 8:28 AM Eastern
• ☽ at 29° 43‘ Aquarius □ ☉ at 29° 43‘ Taurus |  7:58 AM Eastern
• ☽ ▻ Pisces | 8:28 AM Eastern
• ☉ ▻ Gemini | 2:54 PM Eastern 

Tuesday starts with a sense of steadiness, like everything’s holding together just long enough to finish what needs finishing. 

Then the tone shifts. 

At 2:54 pm eastern the Sun leaves behind the slow, grounded focus of Taurus and slips into Gemini, where attention scatters and questions multiply. 

• Best for: wrapping up long-term tasks, drafting ideas, gathering input from different sources
• Potential Challenges: changing priorities midstream, struggling to maintain focus or follow-through

Wednesday 05/21

• ☽ at 21° 41‘ Pisces  ✳ ☿ at 21° 41‘ Taurus | Eastern 10:20

Wednesday it’s easier to ask for what you want without overthinking it. 

Things click faster, conversations flow, and it doesn’t take much effort to get on the same page with others. 

If you have things to get done, it’s a pretty great day for doing them.

• Best for: getting things done with others, finding the right tone without overexplaining
• Potential Challenges: jumping ahead without enough context, overlooking small details in the rush to move forward

Thursday 05/22

• ♀︎ at 15° 59‘ Aries △ ♂︎  at 15° 59‘ Leo | 3:41 AM Eastern
• ☽ ☌ ☊ at 25° 03‘ Pisces | 4:04 AM Eastern
• ☽ at 25° 52‘ Pisces  □ ♃ at 25° 52‘ Gemini |  5:27 AM Eastern
• ☽ at 27° 33‘ Pisces  ✳ ♅ at 27° 33‘ Taurus | 8:19 AM Eastern
• ☉ at 01° 40‘ Gemini ✳ ♆ at 01° 40‘ Aries | 8:39 AM Eastern
• ☽ ☌ ♄ at 29° 48‘ Pisces  |  12:06 PM Eastern
• ☽ V/C | 12:06 - 12:25 PM Eastern
• ☽ ▻ Aries |  12:25 PM Eastern
• ☽ ☌ ♆ at 01° 40‘ Aries  | 3:14 PM Eastern
• ☽ at 01° 57‘ Aries ✳ ☉ at 01° 57‘ Gemini | 3:42 PM Eastern
• ☽ at 03° 44‘ Aries ✳ ♇ at 03° 44‘ Aquarius | 6:41 PM Eastern

Thursday everything feels a little slippery. 

You might start with a clear plan or strong intention, but it’s easy to get pulled off track by a feeling, a memory, or something that doesn’t quite make sense but still holds your attention.

Things should move forward, but they may not end up where you thought they would.

• Best for: letting thoughts or feelings surface without forcing a structure, noticing which ideas keep returning
• Potential Challenges: chasing clarity too soon, expecting direct answers

Friday 05/23 

• ☽ at 16° 46‘ Aries △ ♂︎ at 16° 46‘ Leo | 4:13 PM Eastern
• ☽ ☌ ♀︎ at 17° 22‘ Aries  | 5:12 PM Eastern

Friday the mood is bold and direct, with very little patience for guessing games.

There’s a clear line between wanting something and going after it, and that clarity can make even small moments feel more intense. 

If there’s tension, it will probably come from how quickly things are moving rather than any actual disagreement.

• Best for: taking initiative in conversations, pushing forward on something that already has momentum
• Potential Challenges: moving faster than others can follow, assuming shared intentions without confirmation

Saturday 05/24

• ☽ at 26° 19‘ Aries ✳ ♃ at 26° 19‘ Gemini |  7:43 PM Eastern
• ☽ V/C |  7:43 AM - 1:38 AM Eastern
• ☉ at 03° 43‘ Gemini △ ♇ at 03° 43‘ Aquarius | 11:55 AM Eastern
• ☽ ▻ Taurus |  1:38 PM Eastern
• 🌘 Waning Crescent Moon | 6:15 PM Eastern
• ☿ ☌ ♅ at 27° 42‘ Taurus | 7:15 PM Eastern
• ☽ at 03° 43‘ Taurus  □ ♇ at 03° 43‘ Aquarius | 7:36 PM Eastern
• ♄ ▻ Aries |  11:35 PM Eastern

Saturday something clicks into place, not because anything loud happens but because the patterns are easier to see. 

There’s a clearer sense of who’s really making decisions or holding things together (or holding them up) behind the scenes, and that clarity shifts how you approach the rest of it. 

At the same time, communication doesn’t follow the usual script. Plans change mid-sentence, ideas interrupt themselves, and familiar systems don’t behave the way they usually do.

• Best for: recognizing power dynamics, sudden insights
• Potential Challenges: disruptions, unexpected disclosures, difficulty trusting what seems too sudden to be stable

At 11:35 pm eastern Saturn moves into Aries where he will (mostly) be until 2028.

Saturn in Aries intensifies the clash between deliberate structure and the urge to act, exposing where systems and commitments falter under pressure. This transit forces a reckoning with what must be sustained through patience and what must be discarded when endurance runs out.

• Best for: initiating essential reforms, clarifying boundaries, revealing hidden weaknesses in established frameworks
• Potential challenges: enforcing change too quickly, overextending resources or energy

Sunday 05/25

• ☽ at 17° 51‘ Taurus □ ♂︎ at 17° 51‘ Leo | 6:05 PM Eastern
• ☿ ▻ Gemini | 8:59 PM Eastern
• ☿ at 00° 04‘ Gemini ✳ ♄ at 00° 04‘ Aries | 9:45 PM Eastern

Sunday there’s a restless energy under the surface, as sudden urges or conflicts clash with a deeper need for calm. 

Thankfully, the patience to sift through distractions and focus on what really matters is available. That steady reasoning can be an anchor when everything else feels unsettled.

• Best for: breaking complex problems into clear steps, staying locked in on the goal
• Potential Challenges: getting stuck weighing every option, short tempers

Sunday night at 8:59 pm eastern, Mercury moves into Gemini where he will be at full power.

Mercury in Gemini is quick to observe and quicker to speak, making it easy to ask the right questions and get to the point. It's sharp and curious, though it can jump ahead before fully thinking something through.

• Best for: clear writing, fast decisions, sorting through details
• Potential Challenges: skipping steps, jumping to conclusions, distraction from too many ideas at once

Until next time, my wish for you is the structure needed to chase your bold new dream. - Robin 💋
