The Unraveling Before the Rising

18 - 24 MAY 2025

This week holds the frequency of transition, an echo of endings as we prepare for a new beginning. The energy feels like standing at the threshold of a new room, still half-dressed in the story of who we were.

We’re emerging from the emotional intensity of Scorpio’s Full Moon, a time that may have brought old wounds, longings, or shadows to the surface. Maybe you felt stripped bare, or maybe something quietly fell away without needing a grand finale. Whatever surfaced, it left space. And into that space… Gemini season arrives. But before we leap ahead, there’s a sacred pause. This is the moment between exhale and inhale. A moment to choose what we’re taking with us and what we’re laying down, leaving behind finally and forever.

This week we are entering the realm of Gemini: the storyteller, the trickster, the weaver of words and meaning. But this year, we’re doing so with a deeper sense of responsibility, because Saturn in Aries is watching our every move not to punish us, but to mature us. 

The universe isn’t asking us to hustle harder. It’s asking us to get honest. Honest about our habits. Honest about our patterns. Honest about who we are becoming.

Gemini energy is light, fast, and curious. It wants to move, talk, learn, connect. It’s social and scattered and sometimes shallow but not because it lacks depth but because it’s learning to dance with duality.

This season invites us to shift from emotional processing to mental integration. Words become powerful. Conversations become keys. New options may emerge and while clarity may still feel like it’s brewing, this is your chance to experiment, brainstorm, and explore. 

Please know Gemini mirrors your inner dialogue. So your thoughts hold more power than ever this season. If your thoughts are anxious, self-critical, or looping you’ll feel it all amplified. You know what to do to work on this. We also have Saturn currently slowing us down in the sign of Aries, the sign of instinct, identity, and raw “I AM” energy. 

This week, Saturn reminds us:

🔥 You don’t get to skip steps on the way to becoming yourself.

🔥 You can’t bypass the work by rushing to the next thing.

🔥 You must build the fire that sustains you, not just sparks you.

It’s asking each of us to grow up and ground into our purpose with integrity. You might feel tension where you’ve beenimpulsive, reactive, or non-committal. Don’t shame yourself—just notice. This is slow alchemy, not a quick fix. This energy will be around for a long while so get used to it. 

How You Might Feel this Week

• A little between worlds—mentally lit up, emotionally tender

• Hungry for clarity but aware that it hasn’t landed yet

• Called to speak your truth, even if your voice shakes

• Ready to cut energetic cords with old stories once and for all

My Advice

The invitation is to live awake and aware — not in fear, but in faith. To live a conscious, joyful life this week:

• Gentle breathwork - try box breathing 

• “future self” journaling

• Rewrite your inner dialogue in the mornings

• Speak to yourself like a wise mentor, not a critic

• Movement that engages both the body and mind (yoga flows, intuitive dance, walking while speaking affirmations)

✨ Affirmation of the Week

"I trust the truth that rises within me. I am becoming whole on my own terms."

Let this week be about clarity over chaos.Speak with intention. Move with purpose.

Let curiosity lead you, but let your wisdom hold the map. You’re not just changing, you're refining.  Let Gemini season bring fresh air to the inner spaces that Scorpio helped you clear.

The path is clearing. 

Love you,

Sarah
