Gemini Season Begins
The Sun enters Gemini on Monday, May 20, at 6:00am PDT/9:00am EDT/2:00pm BST/11:00pm AEDT
Hello Friends,
Welcome to Gemini season!
The Sun enters Gemini and invites you into its mental portal to discuss everything that matters.
Gemini, the mythological twins Castor and Pollux, is the first of the three dual signs (Sagittarius and Pisces are the other two).
The dual signs always work with two or more perspectives to find peace within the unity that contains them.
The myth of the Gemini twins is about how they were confronted by the challenge of being separated by one being mortal and the other immortal.
The myth has many variations, but the common theme is that they were reunited as semi-mortals, relating to how bodies die, but energy endures, and how there are separations, but everything is part of the whole.
Mercury, the planet of thought, communication, and movement rules Gemini.
Mutable Gemini reflects the joy of connecting and communicating with all the facets of life.
Amid all the lively chatter Gemini brings, there's an underlying message about the power of your mind.
When you’re unfocused, you exhaust yourself from the mental whirl.
Using the power of breath with your two Gemini-ruled lungs can create a calm and focused mind to support your intentions.
Mercury is the smallest planet in our solar system and the closest to the Sun.
Mercury is currently in the grounded certainty of Taurus until it moves into Gemini on June 3.
According to myth, Mercury is the messenger of the Gods and the secrets of the universe.
Gemini reflects the busy messenger with wings on its gender-neutral feet.
Mercury is everywhere, always in motion, getting work done, being well-respected and needed by everyone.
The placement of Mercury in your chart represents how your mind works as it shifts and reshapes your perceptions.
When Mercury is linked with the inner planets, your thoughts are centered on everything in this mortal world.
When Mercury aspects the outer planets (Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto), it stimulates your thoughts to more divinely inspired elevated ideas.
Mercury is currently in Taurus and will conjunct Uranus on May 30. It will be the first outer planet connection in Gemini season to open your mind to new insights.
Mercury in Taurus will be in a creative sextile with visionary Neptune on June 2 to support you in sharing your intuitive and heartfelt ideas.
Mercury in Gemini will trine the revolutionary power of Pluto in Aquarius on June 3, increasing the focus on discovering what was hidden and transforming perspectives by sharing it with others.
Jupiter, the planet of growth will enter the open mind of Gemini on May 25 and also support your mental expansion for a year.
Your clever, versatile curiosity will expand your friendships and enlighten your perspective.
Venus will also enter Gemini with the Sagittarius Full Moon, and it trines Pluto in Aquarius on May 25, adding to the honest conversations that deepen intimacy.
There is much to learn about yourself and others over this Gemini season!
This isn't the time to be alone. Community is wealth.
Gemini season is a time to connect with others and find happiness through fresh, new experiences.
Gemini is one of the three air signs. The Air element represents mental flexibility that allows self-awareness and understanding of others in relationships.
Gemini is the third sign and house of the zodiac wheel, which describes the connections and communications in your environment.
Since March 20, you've moved through a phase of self-development with the Sun in Aries highlighting the first house of your self-expression; the Sun in Taurus highlighting the second house of your self-worth; and now the Sun in Gemini highlighting the third house of your neighborhood, acquaintances, and all that evolves in a day in your life.
The first three houses are the first of the four quadrants of your chart. The first quadrant also reflects your early childhood experiences.
The third house ruled by Gemini is how you learned to name everything that wasn't you.
Gemini season is a time to reflect on your self-understanding and share your perspective with others.
Over the past months I've realized how I want to use this space to teach more about astrology for you to apply to your life.
Since mid-2015, I've been writing very ephemeral posts that haven't held much value past the dates I've shared!
If you’re interested in learning more about astrology, I'd like to teach you more about how it works.
I'll still include current transits while giving you more information to consider when you look at your own and others' charts.
Astrology helps us understand and support each other.
Like Gemini, astrology offers intelligent insights into how to direct your life to open up your potential in miraculous ways.
Continuing with the astrological and numerological associations with the Tarot, here’s the information about how Gemini is represented.
Gemini is the first of the four mutable signs. As an air sign, Gemini is represented by the swords suit, which also covers the other two air signs, Libra and Aquarius.
Swords represent the intellect of air and the East. Air offers a time to breathe, emerge, make new plans, and start fresh.
All the mutable signs (Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius, and Pisces) are symbolized by the 8-9-10 in each of the four suits.
8 is the number of perfection and being receptive to abundance. It is the figure of cosmic infinity. It represents a time to focus on your skillful authority.
9 is the number of ending one thing and beginning another. The wisdom of experience marks the end of a cycle that illuminates compassion for others.
10 is the number of transitioning to a new beginning. It's time to move on, challenge yourself, and reach a higher level.
The union of opposites represented by the Lovers is the major arcana symbol associated with Mercury-ruled Gemini.
The Gemini Lovers reflects how this is a time to collaborate in partnerships and connections with others. Everything will improve with mutual caring and cooperation.
Here are the correspondences for the minor arcana during the 30º of Gemini:
The First Decanate, 0º - 9º Gemini, occurs between May 20 and May 30, 2024, and corresponds with the 8 of Swords, indicating a time to breathe deep and change the way you've been thinking about things so that you can realize you have everything you need to change any challenges you may be experiencing.
The Second Decanate, 10º - 19º Gemini, is between May 31 and June 9, 2024, and corresponds with the 9 of Swords. It shares that you can move out of fear, grief, and sadness by recognizing how you're now facing problems that have always existed. Embrace any difficulties to push through them more quickly with a positive mindset.
The Third Decanate, 20º - 29º Taurus, is between June 10 and June 20, 2024, and corresponds with the 10 of Swords, indicating a time to clear the old to wholly embrace the new. The most significant part of the storm is passing, and you are becoming free of the problems of the past.
These three cards offer challenges to overcome, and this is exactly what Gemini teaches more about.
Harness your mind and remember you are a limitless being, sharing space with other limitless beings!
