The new moon is one of the most mysterious and powerful natural phenomena, which in astrology is considered a time of change and renewal. However, along with the opportunities, it also carries certain risks: it is on this day that many people feel loss of strength, emotional instability and exacerbation of chronic diseases. Our ancestors perceived the day of the new moon as a time of increased mystical power, when the boundaries between the worlds become thinner. It was believed that on this day one should not start important things, go on the road or build in order to avoid setbacks. The upcoming new moon in May promises to be ambiguous due to the influence of the constellation Gemini, a fickle air sign that can exacerbate conflicts and create dangerous illusory traps of the mind. Izvestia tells us more about what the new Moon will bring to each representative of the zodiac circle.

New Moon in May 2025: when will it start

A new moon is an astronomical phenomenon in which the moon appears between the Earth and the Sun on approximately the same line. At this point, the sun's rays do not illuminate the side of the Moon visible from Earth, and it becomes almost indistinguishable to observers. Such an event occurs about once a month, marking the beginning of a new lunar cycle.

In May 2025, the new moon will come on May 27 at 06:04 Moscow time. At this point, the Moon's illumination will be 0%, and only a dark spot will be visible in the sky, which cannot be seen with the naked eye. On this day, the Earth's satellite will be in the zodiac sign Gemini, which is responsible for communication, thinking, learning and information flows.

On May 28, the new moon will give way to another phase, the waxing Moon, which will last for several days and end with a full moon. This period will be active and cheerful. The Waxing Moon is ideal for starting new businesses, projects, and personal growth. However, it will be necessary to prepare for this period precisely during the new moon phase, astrologers believe.

New Moon in May 2025: human impact, astroprognosis

The new Moon is traditionally associated with a period when physical energy decreases and people's emotional state becomes more vulnerable. Many people note increased fatigue, exacerbation of chronic diseases and decreased sleep quality.

— Emotionally, this time can be perceived as a "brain reboot": we're zeroing out, but we still don't understand what's being uploaded instead. At this time, headaches, insomnia, nervous excitability, and pressure surges are possible at the body level, especially for weather-sensitive people and those with accentuated signs of Gemini, Virgo, Pisces, and Sagittarius, said astrologer Julia Rolnik.

Psychoemotionally, the new moon can cause irritability, anxiety, and mood swings. Men who may have outbursts of aggression and internal tension are especially sensitive to the influence of the new moon.

From an astrological point of view, the new moon in Gemini enhances intellectual activity, stimulates communication and information exchange, but also creates a risk of self-deception and illusions due to the influence of the planet Neptune. On this day, it is important to maintain critical thinking and not give in to excessive dreams and fantasies.

In addition, the new moon is an inappropriate time to start new and important things because of the sharp decline in physical activity. During this period, it is recommended to solve minor current tasks and make plans for the next month. At this time, it is undesirable to plan a serious conversation with the management or a job change. It is also not necessary to start a general cleaning or renovation in the house. Physical labor or active sports during this period will be ineffective.

The new moon is an unfavorable period for large financial transactions. It is important to devote time to relaxation, and if possible, go on a short trip. This is a great time for mental cleansing: it is useful to give up the news noise, reduce the time spent reading the phone, and rest the nervous system.

Astrologer Yulia Rolnik has prepared an astrological forecast for the new moon on May 27, 2025 for the zodiac signs. According to the horoscope, each representative of the zodiac circle is waiting for amazing discoveries.

Aries

A new life cycle begins. Your voice gains strength, your words gain weight. It's time not only to talk out loud about your goals, but also to listen to who reacts to them and how. Saturn in your sign requires maturity, but it gives you the strength of a leader.

Taurus

Financial and value orientations are changing. The usual ways of earning money may become outdated — be open to new forms of self-realization. The day is suitable for internal reassessment and prioritization.

Twins

It's your day to transition to a new version of yourself. Speech, ideas, appearance, relationships — everything can be updated. But you have to choose for yourself what and with whom you want to go further. Your mobility is not a weakness, but a strategic asset.

Cancer

You are at the boundary between the past and the future. New Moon suggests letting go of what's pulling you back and rebooting your internal coordinate system. Pay attention to dreams, signs, sensations — they are more accurate than any advice.

Leo

An important moment for social connections, reputation and dreams. Go out into the world, form a team, and look for allies. What you start now may bear fruit in a few months — in a new circle of your recognition.

Maid

Focus your main focus on the professional path. It's not so much the job that's important right now as the vocation. New Moon suggests looking up: isn't it time to step out of the role of a performer and make yourself known more widely? Your intuition will give you the answer.

Scales

Your mindset expands. There are themes of relocation, education, and entering a new intellectual space. You feel a craving for freedom and a slight anxiety associated with it. This is a signal that you are on the right track.

Scorpio

Relationships, trust, financial obligations — all this needs to be reviewed. The new moon gives you a chance to let go, transform, restart. Act gently but decisively.

Sagittarius

Focus on alliances: personal, professional, and creative. This is the moment of choice: with whom you want to go into the future, and with whom it's time to part. The main thing is not to start conflicts.

Capricorn

A new order in business, duties, and body care. Workflows require flexibility. It may be worth reviewing your routine and changing your approach to time management. Your success lies in your ability to adapt and structure chaos.

Aquarius

Come on stage. Love, creativity, family — everything that makes you alive, bright, and real will receive a powerful boost on this day. Pluto in your sign will give weight to the word. Use the power of personal charisma to get what you want.

Fish

Home and family will be your priority topics during the new moon. Everything that seemed "arranged" can change. But these changes are for the better. In the near future, you will be able to find harmony and create a comfortable place where you can be yourself.

The May new moon opens the doors to a new 300-year era of social transformation by activating the conjunction of Saturn and Neptune, planets of structure and dreams. We are on the verge of tremendous changes, and right now it is important to ask yourself the main question: with whom, why and where am I going next? Let the answer come to you in the silence of the morning sky on May 27 — when the Sun and Moon merge in Gemini, opening new routes, the expert concluded.
