Weekly Astrology Forecast — May 26, 2025 – June 1, 2025

Weekly Astrology Forecast

Here is the Psychic Scoop Weekly Astrology Forecast for the week of May 26, 2025 – June 1, 2025:

Mercury moves into Gemini on Monday, sextiling both Neptune and Saturn in the early morning hours. Mercury is dignified in Gemini, the sign that it co-rules with Virgo. Mercury in Gemini is curious, adaptable,  and changeable. It’s an excellent multitasker, with a penchant for gathering facts and information. It’s also restless and very easily bored.

The sextile to Saturn is good for organizing your thoughts and being productive. It’s focused, rational and sensible. It likes to make lists and follow the rules. The Neptune portion of this configuration can soften some of the strictness that’s usually present with Saturn / Mercury aspects, and add a bit of an idealistic flair.

As we start this week, on Monday, the Moon is in aloof and impersonal Aquarius, a fixed air sign associated with independence, open-mindedness and innovation. The Moon in the sign associated with friends and associates — Aquarius — will generally indicate an excellent time for connecting and interacting with others. But this one is complicated by its role in a t-square involving Mercury and Mars.

Mercury is all about communications and ideas, while Mars is action, energy, and drive — all commendable traits. But when you pit them against the Moon (feelings, emotions, and sensitivities), they can bring out the more unsavory impulses related to these planets, like anger, aggression and impatience.

This week starts on Monday, with a Full Moon in Scorpio and Mercury squaring Pluto. The Mercury / Pluto square can be overly sensitive to criticism at best and deliberately cruel at worst. It’s good for doing research, but not so good for relying on the conclusions you may arrive at. The potential for distorting things or interpreting them to meet your expectations is too high.

The square (90° aspect) increases the potential for minor misunderstandings to get blown out of proportion. This propensity may be even more prominent, with both planets at anaretic degrees. It won’t be the time to back someone into a corner or try to force their hand. It’s best to hold back on setting anything in stone, as the tendency to misconstrue things during this transit is greater than you may realize.

Mercury in Aries sextiles Jupiter in Gemini as we start the week on Monday. Mercury and Jupiter are natural polarities, with each ruling opposing signs (Gemini and Sagittarius, or Virgo and Pisces). But the sextile is a conciliatory aspect that begs the question “why can’t we just all get along?” It brings these two planets together to smooth over disappointments and hurt feelings and make everyone feel included.

This transit is great for sitting down and having a heart-to-heart talk with a loved one. It’s a light-hearted and engaging aspect that emphasizes sharing, learning and exchanging ideas. It says you can keep things interesting without going too deep; you can have playful and pleasant encounters with others without worrying about stepping on anyone’s toes.

As we start this week, on Monday, the Moon is still New in Taurus, the sign of her exaltation.  This archetype speaks of getting in touch with nature and the earth, and with taking care of “business.” This is a good time for thinking about making, saving and investing money. It’s also a good time for taking care of your physical body and for indulging all five senses.

Mars and Pluto are still in a tight opposition, a condition that’s amplified by this aspect’s close proximity to Vulcanus, which is currently conjunct Mars at 4° Leo and in indirect opposition to Pluto at 3° Aquarius. Vulcanus is associated with power and influence, which, combined with the Mars / Pluto opposition, can be downright explosive. This configuration feels like a bit of a take-no-prisoners transit, which can give rise to encounters with those who are ruthless or uncaring.

This week starts with a pretty intense t-square involving the Sun, Moon and Mars on Monday. The Sun / Moon portion of this configuration — a 90° aspect or “square” — is always present with a first quarter Moon, which is tied to home, family, and personal security, among other things.

The Moon in the sign associated with friends and associates — Aquarius — will generally indicate a great time for connecting and interacting with others. But this one is complicated by its role in that t-square involving the Sun and Mars. With the Sun squaring and the Moon opposing Mars, this configuration pits those energies against one another, with the outcome more likely to manifest as conflict or confrontation.

We start this week with Saturn conjuncting the North Node on Monday. This aspect is said to be fated in some way, especially since the moon’s Nodes and Saturn are both associated with fate, karma, and destiny. As Saturn represents hard work, discipline, restrictions, and obstacles, this transit can manifest as a series of roadblocks that seem impossible to overcome. It can also manifest as efforts that are met with resistance in the moment but which can pay off in the end.

Your best move with this transit is to face these challenges head-on and do the work required of you. It’s not a time for taking shortcuts or skipping steps, as the conjunction to the North Node is all about sewing karma and laying down the groundwork for your goals and ambitions as you proceed with the next chapter in your life.

This week starts with Mercury going stationary direct on Monday, after spending the last three weeks in retrograde motion. While Mercury retrograde is known for wreaking havoc with all things related to communications, its going direct doesn’t necessarily bring instant clarity. It just doesn’t work that way. As it goes stationary, it briefly stands still (from our geocentric perspective) as does the current Mercury state.

It will still be several days before Mercury crosses its shadow point (on the 25th) and fully leaves the retrograde behind. But in general, over the next several days, we can expect all things Mercury — communications (verbal and written), schedules, plans, commitments, as well as short-distance travel and electronics devices, etc. — to start getting back to normal.

We start this week on Monday with the Moon, still new, in Taurus, the sign of its exaltation. The Moon in Taurus is calm, gentle, earthy, and sensuous. It seeks out comfort and stability while steering clear of noise, drama, and chaos. It appreciates the finer things in life and prefers to savor meaningful experiences, much like someone would savor a meal or a bottle of fine wine.

There’sone hard aspect, a square to Pluto in the early morning hours, and then it’s basically smooth sailing for the remainder of the day. With all that in mind, this could be a good day to lounge around the house, listening to music, baking, decorating, and — depending on where in the world you are located — landscaping and gardening. These are all Taurus Moon activities, with the idea of comfort, luxury, and getting in touch with nature and the earth being the corresponding theme.

This week starts on Monday with Mercury conjuncting the Sun at 4° Aries. As Mercury’s still retrograde, this is its inferior conjunction, meaning that it’s passing between the Earth and the Sun and is completely obscured from view by the Sun’s bright rays. In the coming days, Mercury will rise again as a Morning Star, once it reemerges from behind those rays.

The Mercury / Sun conjunction is what’s known as combust (or in this case — when the conjunction is exact — cazimi). This is also known as “at the heart of the Sun” which is said to strengthen and energize Mercury’s influence. Mercury conjunct the Sun in Aries is good for taking a stand, saying what’s on your mind, being bold and brave in your communications with others, and putting yourself out there. It’s better at talking than listening and is not so good at tact and diplomacy so keep that in mind in your interactions with others.

As we start this week — on Monday — the Moon is in Libra and the Sun is conjuncting the North Node, which means it’s simultaneously opposing the South Node. The Libra Moon is known for fairness and objectivity, with an emphasis on sharing and exchanging ideas. It’s good for social interactions that call for cooperation and collaboration, as it strives for balance and harmony.

The Sun / Node conjunction can bring someone new into your life who turns out to play a meaningful role. Particularly in terms of self-actualization or individuation. As the Nodes are said to be karmic in nature, this person may not be “new” at all, but have strong past life ties. The Sun/ North Node contact can also describe a change in direction regarding your social relationships. Examples include aligning yourself with a different group of people or inviting new friends into your circle.

Why He Pulled Away — And How to Bring Him Back

why he pulled away

We’ve all been there. To hell and back that is.

We’ve all found ourselves caught in the throes of a new romantic connection that seemed so perfect in the beginning and then died out so suddenly that we were left reeling in the aftershocks and wondering what happened?

It usually goes something like this: We meet a man who seems so promising and full of potential in the beginning that we allow ourselves to get caught up in a whirlwind romance, one that has all the markings of a long term relationship.

He comes on like gangbusters, ardently pursuing and letting us know in a multitude of ways that he’s into us.
