By Every year, Gemini season presents a chance to dip your toe into a variety of experiences, to prioritize your social life and to tap into soaring curiosity. It’s a season ruled by Mercury, the planet of communication, technology and transportation, so connecting with others and flitting from one horizon-broadening moment to the next is to be anticipated. And Gemini season is setting up to be especially exciting in 2025.
That’s because the sweet, social, late springtime moment hosts not one but two major planetary shifts. Not long after the sun enters Gemini, the curious, communicative, mutable air sign, Saturn, the planet of boundaries, moves into dynamic, competitive cardinal fire sign Aries. In turn, you might be prepared to bring a much more pioneering, go-getter spirit to how you pursue your goals, follow the rules and set (and hold) boundaries. And Jupiter, the planet of expansion and luck, will land in Cancer for the first time since 2014, amplifying themes of the cardinal water sign, such as nurturing others, tapping into the power of emotion and putting a greater emphasis on home and family life.
Here, all you need to know about Gemini season 2025 so you can make the most of it.
When does Gemini season start?
Every year, you can count on Gemini season to occur from approximately May 20-21 to June 20-21.
What to expect during Gemini season
When the sun is in Gemini, its annual trip through the adaptable planet, we may find it tougher to zero in on a hard and fast goal but easier to scatter our attention across various interests and activities, learning a little bit about a lot. Socializing, research, engaging with technology and travel are also top priorities, given that the sign of the Twins is ruled by Mercury, the planet of information and connection. This is a noticeable switch-up from the vibe of Taurus season, when the fixed earth sign encourages deliberate, often slow and steady progress on pursuits we’re apt to dig our heels in on.
Mercury’s influence also means that Gemini season may inspire you to revel in soaring cerebral energy by taking an online course, reading more, traveling, having vibrant conversations with friends and colleagues or making sure your social calendar is perfectly packed. You might also feel more adaptable, given that Gemini, like fellow mutable signs Virgo (mutable earth), Sagittarius (mutable fire), and Pisces (mutable water), are pros at being flexible and pivoting from one thing to the next without making much, or really anything, of it. However, the mutable signs can also find it challenging to make decisions and follow through on a given plan. For that reason, you may be more open-minded and eager to experiment and explore and shy away from pouring all of your energy into one specific undertaking.
2025 Gemini season ushers in a fiery new era
Taurus season gave way to Neptune moving into Aries, and during Gemini season, Saturn, which has been in Pisces since 2023, follows suit, landing in the sign of the Ram on May 24. The taskmaster planet oversees boundaries, regulations, restrictions, hard work and the types of challenges that nudge you to lay lasting groundwork to support your goals for years to come. Meanwhile, Aries is the first sign of the zodiac and the cardinal fire sign known for being impulsive, playful, risk-taking, spirited, competitive and always up for a debate—or a fiery fight. As you might guess, Saturn isn’t exactly comfortable in Aries, but as the stern planet makes its way through the dynamic fire sign, we’ll all be encouraged to approach Saturnian themes— discipline and responsibility, for instance—in an action-oriented Aries way.
The planet of luck is on the move, too
2025’s Gemini season also hosts another big planetary move: Jupiter, the planet of luck and abundance, will enter Cancer on June 9. Jupiter takes about 12 years to move through the zodiac, so it hasn’t been in the sign of the Crab since 2013-2014. Jupiter has an expansive, magnifying effect on everything it comes in contact with, so as it moves through Cancer, it’ll boost our focus on and craving for Cancerian aspects of life, which include caregiving, family, security, tranquility at home and sentimental experiences (like looking back through old keepsakes or antiquing). And whichever house(s) of your birth chart it is activating while in Cancer will also be areas of life in which you’ll want and attract more. For example, when Jupiter moves through the Fifth House of Romance, you’ll desire—and find you can attract—more playfulness, fun, spontaneity, creativity and opportunities to express yourself.
Here, how Gemini season will affect you based on your sign. (Be sure to read both your sun and your rising sign if you know it. If you don’t, you can find it in your birth chart or by using this CafeAstrology calculator.)
Aries
As the sun moves through your communication zone, you could be pulled in a multitude of directions as your social life gets even more active, exciting and fulfilling. The only challenge is deciding what you actually have time for or most want to prioritize. This is also a wonderful opportunity to nurture your bonds with friends, neighbors and siblings if you have them and to tap into your bursting curiosity by learning something new. This season also hosts an exciting shift for your ruler, go-getter Mars, which moves into your health zone on June 17, boosting energy you can channel into pursuing your day-to-day wellness goals.
