About Gemini
In the Northern Hemisphere, the days are getting longer and there’s a feeling of change in the air as Spring moves into Summer. Gemini is excellent for guiding transformation and change. Born with a playful and curious disposition, Gemini finds it easy to adjust to new things. They feel engaged with the world around them, curious and are sociable.
Gemini is represented by The Twins talking back and forth in constant conversation, reinforcing that this sign is social with an affinity for gossip and a strong need for mental stimulation. The Twins symbol is based on Castor and Pollux from Greek mythology. Also known as The Dioscuri, they are the children of Leda and Zeus. Castor and Pollux are present in many Greek and Roman stories, known for their mastery of horses and protection of guests and travelers. The Dioscuri bonded eternally and the two were cast in the heavens as the enduring Gemini Twins constellation, immortalizing the magical and mysterious duality of the sign’s archetype.
The Tarot card that relates to Gemini is The Lovers. Two people are in partnership, or connecting in love and attraction. It echoes the Twins’ sense of joined purpose and duality. The Lovers remind us of the interdependent nature of life and the relational facet that lives in all of us.
The ruler of Gemini is Mercury, the planet of communication, language and travel. It’s named for the only Roman God who could freely travel between the heavens and the underworld, explaining Gemini’s desire to move between realms, chat with many different people, and go after what peaks their curiosity.
The inventiveness and thirst for knowledge comes forward in the mantra: ‘I think’. It could be extended into the phrase, ‘I think, therefore I am’ highlighting their sense of purpose bent toward discovery and expanding their mental awareness.
Gemini represents two personalities in one. You may never be sure which one you might face. They are sociable, communicative and ready for fun, with the tendency to suddenly become serious, thoughtful and restless. They are versatile, comfortable with being introverts and extroverts. They are perceptive, analytical, but social, fun-loving and very funny. They can adapt to the energy for a room.
Gemini are the social butterflies of the zodiac. They connect with people through dialogue, communication, debate and questions. They are the ever-curious child asking Why? They like to pick things apart to understand them. They tend to relate to people through language. Gemini love texting and tweeting almost as much as they love talking IRL. The act of expression tends to be more important to Gemini than what is actually being said.
Have you ever been so busy you wished that you could clone yourself to get things done? That’s the Gemini experience in a nutshell. They constantly feel as if there isn’t enough time for them to experience everything they want to see. Adventuring and socializing comes naturally, but relaxing proves more difficult. They can be emotionally evasive, using humor to deflect from deeper feelings. Their witty and mischievous button-pushing can be annoying, relentless and cruel if it’s not measured with a healthy sense of social boundaries and respect. Some blind spots for Gemini are rooted in their greatest strengths. They can be overly intellectual, overthinking and over gaining information without actually learning how to utilize it.
Gemini holds the power to be a change-maker, making them naturally adaptable, able to explore ideas, languages, and information. They can socialize and communicate to form new pathways of awareness.
